-
MorphBox「Sweet Release」👨🎨🦈👌 (@MorphBoxSR) reported@ChibiReviews Sponsorship's are great, until you become their *****. Also, I remember when the Funimation and CrunchyRoll merger happened. Instead of honoring what I already paid for, they instead offered me two months of free service instead of continuing my 1 year subscription. I never redeemed that code and thank ******* god I never did because of all the data leaks and such. This company has continuously shown just how ******/scummy they are. Destroying arguably the best anime store in the West ala RightStuf, butchering more translations in both their dubs and subs, having a subpar service compared to Funimation when they were still around and HiDIve and of course pirate sites. Hell even Netflix is better than them at this point. Also personal anecdote, every time they show up at my local anime convention almost no one goes to their booth. Everyone goes to other vendors to buy figures, blu-rays, manga, games, etc. The only people who even line up to their booth are a bunch of Tourists. This company truly does suck and I cannot wait for them to crash and burn because they really do deserve everything that is happening and is soon to come to them.

Morindacil (@Morindacil) reported@RileyEatsGood Can I ask who's the CEO of Crunchyroll? The reason these terrible Indian English voice actors are appearing is because the CEO is most likely an Indian firing professional voice actors for cheap labor TEMU types from India.

Another human (@Deletewhenevr) reported@PhysicReleases Buy from stores that aren't crunchyroll problem solved. Why do Americans always stick to 1 store???
-
Paul Mcmillin (@paulmcmillin5) reported@SiKthYEXP I figured it was coming when they banned my Crunchyroll account the only place I had any real money in digital, before Sony got ahold of them. And Crunchyroll went downhill in quality after Sony.
-
McKanime (@McKanime) reportedIt is just wild that Crunchyroll will keep raising prices for their service but the experience for buyers keeps LOWERING in quality. How hard is it to warn people when shows are leaving the service?
-
Simon Robineau (@BloodWenchLN) reportedI mean to be fair we really need better alternatives to Crunchyroll because at this point, if piracy are offering better services then an multi million dollar corporation then why would I give my money to trash *** company that prices gauges while providing a ****** user experience? Piracy is a service problem and sadly the services being provided are utterly ****.
-
𝕄𝕠𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕖𝕕 (@Little_Yamper) reported@ChibiReviews My sole reason for staying subscribed to Crunchyroll is to finish the Devil May Cry series; once done, I’m deleting it. Removing quality shows while retaining mediocre content is utterly nonsensical.
-
Phillip Paton (@Neville19121991) reported@Crunchyroll canceled your app you incompetent company. After weeks of you ignoring requests to fix simple features, you deserve to not be a company. Why run a business when you don’t care about your paying customers?
-
Kougeru 🐉⛩️ (@Kougeru) reported@FoxSTARSVT The issue is that Crunchyroll owns the rights to most anime. Yes, we can order on other sites like Amazon but check the publisher - most stuff from the last 2-3 years is from Crunchyroll (or Aniplex which is also Sony). They'll likely stop selling outside CR store soon...

Realslimshaddy (@osimssss) reportedAnyone with crunchyroll or Hulu logins? Please help a sister 😔🙏🏾
-
Shredder - Mass Effect (@Shredder1400) reported@RileyEatsGood The other problem with subscription services is they don’t keep up some of those favorites due to licensing and royalty fees. HBO Max took off so many classic cartoons recently, and Crunchyroll just took off Black Lagoon and others. With physical or piracy, you keep what you want
-
Mr.Teatime (@MrTeatime10) reported@RandQalan I suppose that is true. I guess I took more issue with the fact that I know most of his stuff even if it has validity he just does for engagement bait and I've seen him made somewhat contradictory points just for the engagement. Crunchyroll definitely is crap.
-
ILOVEPIE (@ILOVEPIEsynergy) reported@Crunchyroll NO DISK NO BUY Fix your customer service Sony. No matter what name you take, including crunchyroll.
-
_σ_ (@fnrihU94Nue) reported@JoeLongBalls The video is just ripped from crunchyroll, the program sources the videos from a piracy site. That being said, ani-cli is *** and doesn't work half the time, and torrenting is infinitely superior.

Mark @ Funky Designs (@funkydesigns_uk) reported@SuperSisi Digital isnt so bad its Playstation thats the problem “We are going digital only, oh btw were closing the PS3 and Vita digital stores” Seriously,they thought announcin that at the same time was wise Then theres removing movies and Crunchyroll subs. They are full on anti consumer
-
Tomoyo Kisho 🌌Streaming Hiatus VTuber🌌 (@TomoyoKisho) reported@FenNozaki CrunchyRoll so *** it’s not even available here in Japan. Mostly cause of licensing issues. Not surprised they’re being greedy dumbasses cause they are limited in their reach. Their service still isn’t worth it. Enshitification continues.

Dinnu daniel (@daniel_adinnu) reportedCrunchyroll is moving its entire online store behind a paywall starting in August. The current Fan tier costs $9.99 a month and gets full access to the anime library. To keep shopping the store the way people do now, buying figures, Blu-rays, apparel, manga volumes, that same subscriber will need to upgrade to Mega Fan at $13.99 a month or Ultimate Fan at $17.99. The company has since walked the framing back slightly. Fan tier subscribers will still be able to browse the store, Crunchyroll told press this week. What’s actually locked behind Mega and Ultimate is the new “curated experience,” described in Crunchyroll’s own announcement as convention-exclusive collectibles and limited-release drops. The practical effect for most shoppers is the same: the merch people actually want increasingly lives behind the higher tiers. The timing compounds the problem. Selected purchases became final sale as of July 13, with refunds and returns no longer accepted except for damaged items. Crunchyroll Store gift cards stop working entirely after August 14. This lands on a storefront that absorbed Right Stuf, a specialist anime retailer Sony acquired and folded into Crunchyroll in 2023, removing a standalone option from the market in the process. Crunchyroll is owned by Sony, and this store change arrives while Sony faces separate backlash over discontinuing PS5 disc production. Two different Sony-owned storefronts, in the same window, both moving customers away from straightforward one-time purchases and toward tiered, recurring payment structures.

Dreamer (@Snorlhey) reported@Crunchyroll why do you not have slider that lets you turn on and off the shadow that appear over bright scenes for people who don't have problem with glares?
-
Chubik Engineer 314 (@Chubik_Engineer) reportedHaving heard the Japanese from the scenes in question... I don't think crunchyroll did that bad translating this time. The other translation feels a bit like an old-school fan translation, with both errors and charms. But honestly, I think that Chibi is being nitpicky here.
-
Anurag Tripathi (@anuragfrnd) reportedIt has been 2 weeks.. However, the issue hasn't been resolved w.r.t forceful logout of our devices.. It asks for login everytime. @Crunchyroll you should guys invest on technical team instead of spending on advertising

𝙵 𝚁 𝙴 𝚈 𝙰 ✴︎ (@fatalfreya) reported@thatoneguy7560 @juviiala @Crunchyroll Get yourself some help. Seriously.

perilsparks (@perilsparks) reported@Leaf_lt @RiceRice143 @Crunchyroll Did Jin Woo fight a snake? Lol did he fight fellow hunters ? I do agree 1 character wants to help and take care of his family. The other is a greedy and selfish person who wants to be rich.
-
Matt is not funny (@JudgementalBear) reported@PlayStation You're canning physical games, your Crunchyroll subsidiary is reducing physicals and paywalling physical anime purchases. You have set fire to decades of good will and you're not addressing anything. Fix your **** please. The idiots you've placed in charge need to go.

😈JUJU😈 (@JBeannss) reportedJust paid for my crunchyroll 😌 about to finish my work and take a break to watch some anime

Ashutosh.hl (@AshutoshD2024) reported@Kid_Caution @Crunchyroll Same problem no subtitles. Wth is this experience man .it's ridiculous the latest ep ain't even downloading
-
LeandroAbcr (@AbcrLeandro) reported@JaroslavJ96626 @animetrends I pay for Crunchyroll, and there are lots of animes that I want to watch that are not available either because of licensing, not in catalog and/or region locked. As some wise man said, piracy exists because it’s a service issue. Some old some new but the point is availability.
-
Gndmmaniac (@gndmmaniac) reported@ChibiReviews Doesn't help when Crunchyroll bought out Rightstuff, ALL and I mean ALL of the prior Gundam Blu Ray releases were just thrown out the window and never re-printed via Crunchyroll. Will never forgive them for that.
-
Leaf It (@Leaf_lt) reported@Crunchyroll Wow, this dub looks awful. Timings are off. Voices keep speaking after the lips stop moving. Sound effects don't quite line up. Maybe in this case that's just twitter being bad, but I see these kinds of issues with 95% of dubs in the last couple of years.

Tucker Britt (@Ctrlzaltdelete) reported@Crunchyroll y’all ever gonna fix the subtitles on SAO episode 25? I’ve been wanting to continued watching it for like 2 months and they’re misaligned by like a minute and a half
