viperion (@viperio76050352) reported@Stoopbets @Idontexistalr @Dexerto Look who's yapping. Disposable income doesn't mean anything if there's no quality service. And look, that's where America sucks. Do I need to point out just how bad Crunchyroll is to name but one example? At that point even having no service is better than that service.
-
Marcin Chojnacki (@Zankierka) reported@TheFanaticLive @kirawontmiss I was paying customer of Crunchyroll - but what is the point of paying for it if I can't watch shows I want to see? Sure similar issue is with other providers... But some shows can't be found at all on any provider at the moment...
-
Tai Amaranth (@TaiAmaranth) reported@yamanakanobody I go out of my way to own physical. So, yes, offer me the same quality product, I'll happily buy. Offer rental services like Crunchyroll, I'll pay to rent the ones I'm keen on and outright buy the ones I like. Just make it available, keep it fair, my money is yours.

Frieren Mensageira da Opressão (@FrierenOpresora) reported@han8944 @innocence_SAC I literally didn’t say that, man. I’ll be straight with you: A lot of people are pointing out the problems, like with Crunchyroll for example. They show and explain everything, and what’s the response from 99% of the comments coming from there?
-
kaneki (@kaneki_ed) reported@wahaladey23 @AnimexTwts the problem with crunchyroll is they don’t have a wide catalog have leaked users data and can’t even use good captions
-
Dersey (@PotBlocked) reported@Dexerto Sony (Japanese company) lowered the quality of Crunchyroll A LOT, and the other streaming platforms aren't much better. Who's surprised?
-
BloodBlossom (@BloodBlossom1) reported@p9cker_girl @MofuMofuDraws Its time for crunchyroll to shut down…. If they cant remain faithful to the original, then they dont deserve any work
-
CowboyFox (@PassionOwl263) reported@Audbih @AnimexTwts No. Crunchyroll is a monopoly and they know it so they make it impossible to watch anime legally without paying an arm and a leg or watching a ridiculous amount of ads. Until these problems are solved im not paying for **** and im not watching ads either
-
Turtle Island (@TurtleI86650749) reported@Audbih @AnimexTwts Crunchyroll anime is broken for some episodes you literally have no choice but to go off platform for a service that should be complete. **** subscriptions and the monopolies they hold on the people
-
Chimurry Al (@Chimurry_Al) reported@sudotadashi @Crunchyroll The fans itself is trying to use licensed anime or merch, many don't like groups selling or charging fees, but somehow the Companies just don't get the message or the idea, they need to evolve, otherwise keep losing and unfortunately, the creators get the worst
-
oyakodon (@oyakodon377) reported@SilentHxH @yamanakanobody @JustAniceCat Crunchyroll started illegally, and took advantage of the material accumulated with piracy origins to go corporate. their localization quality was piss poor and they tried to trample much better non-legal localizers by just being the first ones to go legal.
-
Usama Javaid 🇵🇸 (@JavaidUsama) reported@yamanakanobody Yeah! I lived in both Pakistan and Canada, half of what was available to me on Crunchyroll in Canada would disappear whenever I'd come back to Pakistan. During my childhood, bootlegs were the only way. Today it's less of an issue as streaming has improved
-
Erik (@PunishedErik) reported@Khirassj @CharmandAznable I'd gladly pay $3 for an anime service built by the Japanese focused on the Western market, with guarantees that the integrity of the work is not being sacrificed by retarded activists. Crunchyroll is a cancer
-
Mary Alana (@maryag) reported@CCTakato @Crunchyroll I more talking about putting it in theaters. They could easily put it on streaming, but a theatrical... the name would be an issue for Sony itself
-
Selphares (@Selphares1) reported@SilentHxH @yamanakanobody @JustAniceCat It is no lie crunchyroll does a horrible job and pays its people awful.
-
Is Louterstella Okay Today? (@Sanrio_Lolita) reportedCrunchyroll is Top 10 Worst Fallouts ever wdym you used to be a Piracy Site now your English Captions are written by Israel
-
SinscoShopToday 🚯 (@SinscoShopSoon) reported@RX_9999_2 @MeneEstro This isn’t just the case with manga, streaming sites such as crunchyroll and Netflix also are notorious for upcharging users for horrible quality content where none of the profits go to the artists and animators that have put time and soul into their work.
-
The Archivist (@Archive_Knarl) reported@AcSK1LLies In the long run Vic won, he still voice acts, still gets accepted at conventions that aren’t the big name cons, acts in live action stuff. While Funimation died, crunchyroll took over, fired a majority of the funimation people, and now Monica and her ilk barely get work
-
ayydinn (@ayydinnobs) reported@yamanakanobody streaming service with better catalogue and subs than Crunchyroll would work or a steam like to buy/rent movies tho I doubt renting each anime episode would work
-
glory (@Glory_fL) reported@milkynoe @milkynoe where do u watch ur anime? Crunchyroll is still not working 😞
-
Master0fNone🇺🇸 (@MasterOfNone428) reportedThis is why I would love for the companies in Japan to ditch Crunchyroll and have them do in house. They would make sure translations are done faithfully. I understand costs are an issue but what are they paying Crunchyroll to distribute their content in America?
-
Double Cheeseburger (@DblCheeseburger) reported@RX_9999_2 Why is there no platform similar to crunchyroll for jump to post their manga on so foreigners can go there and read it legally? Again this is a service problem. People will pay a fee monthly to consume content legally if the service is convenient and good quality.
-
SHINIKAZE (@kazeshini_69_) reported@RX_9999_2 In my opinion, piracy is mostly a service & pricing issue. Outside of Japan, anime/manga aren't easily accessible, you'd need to have multiple subscriptions to really consume more anime/manga. Sites like Netflix wont even have every season of a show too. Even crunchyroll don't-
-
f (@FS3___) reported@yamanakanobody I do pay for Crunchyroll, my country supports artist copyrights! The only problem is that the manga prices are way too high ( is it normal to pay 3600¥ for one chapter?)
-
Get a brain (@GetABrain0) reported@toeiamination & @Crunchyroll wtf are you and your team doing,. you dub things and add subs in the "dub" language,.. but your timing on one piece is awful..... the "dub" subs are like 5 to 15 secs off of the show, to what is heard.. do better wtf.. like it has a qc process right?
-
Gust (@thisgust_) reported@Crunchyroll bring back the manual quality settings i'd rather watch a constant 1080p with some buffering than a pixelated mess that keeps going
-
The King Capricorn🥱 (@Hessiah__) reportedIm really enjoying the Witch Hat Atelier dub but its a little hard to hear what they’re saying… everyone talks pretty low compared to the rest of the audio so it almost sounds like whispering. This wouldn’t be an issue if crunchyroll had subtitles on dubbed episodes…
-
Invidente7 (@invidente7) reported@azukiglg Then again, Crunchyroll isn't even alvaible on Japan right? And even so, it has A LOT of issues.
-
Futurist Dog (@FuturistDog) reported@yamanakanobody I pay for Crunchyroll in the United States, but they have a partial monopoly on localization of anime. Because of that they can increase the prices and lower the quality without any recourse. If there were competition to them, quality would increase and piracy would decrease.
-
Miros (@Miros_Amon) reported@minamonomomiji @kutsuzawa55 Buying legally outside Japan is a mess Sites like Crunchyroll don't pay jp creators fairly, censor content, and have translations so bad even basic Japanese speakers spot the errors For manga is even worse, legal sources have the same issues as above plus they're months behind
