  @_ToastedBrioche Understanding doesn't mean you like it. PS Plus is 100% temporary. But people have 100% complained when Netflix loses a show. That's why they've invested in buying so much content outright and making original anime, shows and movies. Gamepass same thing as PS Plus outside of 1st party games you know you have a few months at best. Crunchyroll gave no warning and their entire platform is anime. Now the problem is what people do when this does happen. The industry wants you to pay for anime. But this and missing seasons is why so many prefer underground anime sites. That or you start compiling anime on your own personal server or buying Blu-rays. Anime has a huge fragmentation issue.

  I don’t understand why Dororo isn’t on Crunchyroll, but they need to fix up😒

  Paying separately for Netflix, Crunchyroll, Canva, and ChatGPT is not a lifestyle, it is a clerical error you have been making on a monthly basis, and Groupy is the correction.

  Crunchyroll is a terrible company Anyone that still supports them ain't helping the anime industry imo

  @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.

  I really want to support their releases of this on YouTube. Because it’s somewhere that’s not Crunchyroll. Plus this show seems to work well with a slower viewing.

  @SelflessGiftx @MangaAlerts You’re right that licensing is an issue and Crunchyroll isn’t available in Japan. But thing is if a show is removed from streaming and isn’t physically available people will resort to piracy. I thought Crunchyroll’s mission was to protect the anime industry from piracy?

• 
  Chris @ Lumiose (@Tsukento) reported 23 minutes ago

  The problem stems more with the fact that Sony purchased Funimation, The RightStuf and Crunchyroll, merged them all into one company, and did everything they could to make anime LESS accessible.

  @ChibiReviews Crunchyroll being the classic Anime and Manga villain at this point where they genuinely believe that their plan actually works instead of realizing that it will never work at all without any logical thinking

  @Crunchyroll, I will never pay for your service again. This isn't a demonstration; this isn't a threat; and this isn't an abrupt decision. This is the result of your corporate structure and decisionmaking constantly pushing against your supporting base— your consumers. At every turn, you have undermined the very audience you were supposed to be catering to. Once a pirating site, you now remind people of the days when you used to be useful for the same reasons. My decision to never support you again, despite being a frequent user of your service, is a reflection of how you've failed your core audience. It is a result of countlessly flawed decisions on your part. You have been selling user data, destroying translation veracity, settling for inauthentic fan subs, delisting major series, making users pay an entrance fee to use your half-baked web store, and are now even destroying hopes of collecting the anime films, series, and OVAs that mean so much to us. If you were interested in maintaining a supportive, encouraged consumer base and benefitting your own corporate structure, you would see that me leaving your site demonstrates a total, one-sided failure on your part and your part alone. I would love to have a go-to anime service with a full library and a convenient place to access the media in preferred formats, but your service has outgrown its usefulness now. Why should I pay for a service that won't even properly maintain the sole product it markets? I am never paying for your service again because your service has failed to provide what it should have provided and has promised to provide. This is a business failure that couldn't be any more clearly straightforward. Your company has failed to meet the sole requirement of any business: to properly provide for a consumer's need. If you ever want business in the future, put your consumers first by treating them with respect and caring for the beloved stories you're handling. If this reads as anything else than a collected wake-up-call expressly pointing you to the sole way of fixing your issues, than your corporate model will never succeed. If you can't figure out why people like me are dumping you aside, you'll fade into obscurity.

  @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.

  @ChibiReviews Crunchyroll subs are awful and when watching Mushoku in English, they don’t even bother to subtitle the beast language so you have to switch to subtitled audio to even get the subs for it

  Sony basically controlling all of the anime in the West with Crunchyroll and Warner Bros’ constant financial issues will sadly eventually be the end of Toonami.

  @TMullenixVO @Crunchyroll So this time we got “The Neaty-Freaky Relative”, “The Patriotic Freeaboo”, “The Gentle Giant”, “The Handsy Masseuse”, and “The Coddled Knight”. That relative though may drum up problems pretty quick.

  Odd-Eyes (@OddEyesDragoon) reported 50 minutes ago

  Sony buying Crunchyroll/Funimation and owning virtually 70% of anime distribution in the West was one of the worst things to happen. And on top of that, anime actors are still underpaid.

  The Physical Copy market is in a CRISIS! Please Share this. Here is why: Say you want to cancel your subscription and buy Blu-Ray discs. Really build up your collection of Anime.. Step 1: Write down EVERY anime you want before Crunchyroll removes it from your personal Crunchylist. Step 2: Create a wishlist to buy them Step 3: Attempt to locate ANY Physical copies that are available, AND compatible with U.S. Blu-Ray players. Sounds simple enough right? Here is what you don't know: After Funimation merged with Crunchyroll, all physcial disc production from Funimation stopped, making the supply for certain anime limited, and demand high. Scarcity drives up the price of these disconinuted copies. Some go for resale between $150 & $500! Newer copies $35-$60. Now. IF you find your physical copy, and buy it, there is a chance it will not work with your Blu-Ray player, because its possible its only compatible with players from Europe and Asia. So theres another $200-$300 for a working Disc player. Now add up the total of your ENTIRE WATCHLIST! Hell, add up ONE 3-season anime,every season is another $25-$35 if its a newer season. You'll spend $90-$100 on just a single anime. In Summary: This is a Monopoly in the works! How do you stop people from buying physical? Increase the cost of physical copies. How do you increase the cost of physical copies? Remove them. Scarcity drives prices up, people stop buying physical, and everyone flocks to digital. This is just one reason. The other? Is convenience. They know they can make production of discs in a single location and by order. They don't need mass production of discs, just a single location that makes discs by the order. The resale market would eventually heal due to a surplus of movies. This is intentional inflation in the media market. Games, Movies, Anime, all of it is at risk if SONY gets their way with the removal of physical copies. It will not surprise me if Sony announces the discontinuation of blu-ray players next.
