  @IGN Crunchyroll is owned by Sony who also owns Playstation. Makes sense because they are the worst company on the planet atm

  @MattTMage Crunchyroll doesn't care about preserving the original art, and they definitely don't care about the fans. Their history of heavy-handed censorship and terrible pay for translators predates Sony by years.

  @Sony None because nobody should pay for Crunchyroll under any circumstances. Horrible service and while we're at it get your PlayStation issue with disc production fixed.

  I haven’t been buying anything from Crunchyroll, but this kinda solidifies that I probably won’t ever again. None of their streaming platforms work correctly. They wall out their own customers, wanting them to pay more. It feels like they genuinely do not care. I’m done with them

  @nitrons__ Genuinely a shame cuz I’ve actually gotten some good deals from the Crunchyroll Store. I was wondering why it was so gutted lately and now I get why. Worst part is I’m still waiting for the Fire Force s3 Blu Rays, so I’ll probably have to bite on this at some point 💔

  @NegiKitsu TBH not only did he want to retire I'm pretty sure Rightstuf was struggling post covid because they always struggled to fill stock between manufacturing issues and just how hard specialty retail is and somebody at Crunchyroll and took it as an opportunity to kill a competitor

  @Maclovesmanga @Crunchyroll Ngl I think the main issue here is not that crunchyroll dropped the license (things were always going in and out of print all the time), but that scalpers will always fly in like vultures the instant something goes oop

  How is it Sony is able to making ******* awful decisions with both PlayStation and Crunchyroll?

  Koko 💮 Con Goer 🔜 SDCC (@koko_sdcc) reported 12 minutes ago

  Anything from #Crunchyroll besides My Hero Academia? I had so much fun at #AX, and now I’m hoping for another Crunchyroll fix at #SDCC 🥹Anything happening at the Rady Shell on Saturday?

  Mike! (@beggbiee) reported 15 minutes ago

  @Crunchyroll The "new" and "simulcast" views have been broken across the website, mobile app and smart TV app for weeks now, which is making it very hard to find shows from the new season. Is this in the process of being fixed?

  Good Morning, X! Its a five alarm fire at work, so I'm not going to be on today, gang. Never fear, I shall return! And remember: KEEP HARASSING PLAYSTATION ON X- What you guys are saying in the comments to those chuckle ***** makes me proud! Keep the heat on! Keep the community notes coming! Ni Mercy! CANCEL PlayStation Plus CANCEL CRUNCHYROLL - owned by Sony and they are trying to limit the physical release of anime! DON'T BUY GTA6- why waste $100 on an empty box? NO MORE DIGITAL or NEW PLAYSTATION GAMES - support your local used game store and buy used physical & retro!!! NO DISC 💿 NO BUY, MAKE SONY CRY

  @micnax_ @ASIF_117 @walruspng Crunchyroll is the only one with decent subs format on streaming. Other distributors have no problem with the BD releases 'cause their formats are bad from the start. 😭

  @CecilsTrixieJ Crunchyroll has the benefit of not having anime exclusive competitors, but a lot of the other streaming services have a lot of the mainstream anime. The general population doesn't watch the rest of the catalog, so Crunchyroll's vast options isn't going to help then.

  Crunchyroll 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.

  @ChibiReviews I still don't know how crunchyroll went legit while having the worst user interface over ever seen

  @GhostofMimikyu The hilarious irony about Piracy = Virus spew is that most folks are radio silent about how Crunchyroll got one of the worst data breach this year. I'm talking stolen 8 million support tickets containing names, usernames, 6.8 million unique email addresses, IP addresses, & partial credit card info. It's remarkable. lol

  @Shadowmetlgamer @crunchyroll when your new bullshit store subscription nonsense kicks off and dies like the insanely awful idea it is, this better be what you do or you can kick ******* rocks. You haven't done **** with home media really at all since the merger. Thank god for @Sentaifilmworks

  @makiirols This didn't used to be a problem when the people doing the subtitles were fans who actually cared. Now it's corporations like Crunchyroll and y'all refuse to pirate all of their shows so you get what you deserve.

  @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

  Andoryu🌸COMMIS OPEN (@AndoryuAnzuru) reported 48 minutes ago

  I don't know anyone that shops on Crunchyroll and those that did said that the service was one of the worst with long delays and packages not being ship well and damaged. At this point, if you're looking to own anime merch or DVDs, there's so many other sites or go to Book off

  @Dexerto crunchyroll has the worst overlay for years now with the horrible continue watching section that shows stuff i already ******* watched and can't REMOVE or delist without deleting the whole watch history. This ******* service is getting worse and worse every year.
