    This is why I dont use crunchyroll. They were a good pirating site until they somehow became an offical site and then they ******* ruined it with their subscriptions and prices, overall terrible streaming service

    @riggubknowsball I get supporting the artists by paying for crunchyroll is a thing too but it’s actually so *** when bootleg sites have better quality than crunchyroll 😭😭😭 **** is disappointing. Like why pay if a bootleg site is better?

    @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

    @RichardHead4021 @BalazonNathan Where i get my anime fix now for free without viruses, no money for crunchyroll yet. Since its yt it also works on the tv when no one else is using it.

    @SilentHxH Crunchyroll most recent leak was caused by a synchronization issue with YouTube Primetime involving Fate/strange Fake. Any leaks after that have come from other sources. To be honest, leaks from Crunchyroll itself have been pretty rare over the past few years.

    Never in my wildest imagination would I ever expect we would need a subscription service for a ******* store 😭 has this company crunchyroll actually lost it. Nah if you work for crunchyroll and you find yourself layed off, your the problem for ignoring the obvious

    @ShopCrunchyroll This is terrible and I will never purchase anything from you again. What a way to keep shrinking your market. Crunchyroll is a stain on the anime/manga community.

    @MangaAlerts Crunchyroll and Aniplex are some of the worst with their prices. And the. The CR change coming in August? Are they trying to not sell their stuff?

  • Maclovesmanga
    Mac McCollum (@Maclovesmanga) reported

    @AprileAttilio @Crunchyroll Fair, though most companies, including Crunchyroll, usually give an advanced notice before removal. My issue is more with the scalping that’s occurred every time this has happened and Crunchyroll switching to exclusive boutique member merch drops, meaning more out of print DVDs

    Crunchyroll news is absolutely terrible btw. Doesn’t even remotely make sense either

    @Real_Kilometers I just want to buy and collect blu-rays. I don't understand why Sony is so against that. There's no way this doesn't impact that. Aniplex titles are locked to their store, and Crunchyroll has already slowed down their production to historic lows. Terrible time to be a collector

    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! No 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

    @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.

    @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.

    It 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

    @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.

    @ChibiReviews Crunchyroll used to be free with ads, I feel like ever since they changed it feel like the company been bleeding money and anime developers willing to work with them. And the Free with ads model works look at Tubi, great place for old anime and some of the newer stuff.

    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.

    The problem is IP law. It’s basically a monopoly grant. This is how you end up with **** companies like Crunchyroll being the only outlet for watching these things.

  • ERockstar5
    I Hate Editing Things Out... (@ERockstar5) reported

    @GameXverse Buy somewhere else if you can, the only way Sony sees it, is if the wallet doesn’t get fatter, same thing with Crunchyroll unsubscribing Ps+ GTA 6, COD, buy on PC or Xbox (regardless of quality, never thought I say that) Wolverine and other 1st party PlayStation games…at first I was like buy the physical copy…Now I’m just at that point of Anything PlayStation & Sony Don’t buy it

    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

    @Dexerto Pass. I'll get my anime fix through other means. Crunchyroll doesn't deserve my money.

    @BloodVariety I’m a collector, I hit easy, it’s called knowing the ways to minimize errors on there bad website, memberships don’t help, look at samsclub or any other member site, Crunchyroll, etc, they all crash and make it hard to purchase

    @Hyperguyver02 Yep, they bought Crunchyroll, killed rightsurf and then devoured the ******* corpse. Rampant corporatism and monopolies are a massive problem that needs addressing, especially now since multiple companies are pulling the same shenanigans.

    @Real_Kilometers That's just the worst thing ever; as if killing Rightstuf wasn't enough, they are basically killing their store now. Guess someone at Crunchyroll decided that the physical market isn't worth the time and money anymore…

    @MangaAlerts Crunchyroll: "We might be bleeding out money and frozen out because we killed two pirate sites despite being one....But we're still alive and charging you more!" >8D "You'll never be rid of us!" Cancel. Everyone cancel your subscription and help people rebuild the pirated sites.
