    @OkoroACLtear @Crunchyroll @spyfamily_en Hahahahaha! Oh, wait, you're serious. I'm so sorry, I hope you get help for that.

  • jvanparker jason parker (@jvanparker) reported

    @Crunchyroll You'd think with all that Sony money they could maybe fix the app that never works. But hey, who am I other than a paying customer. Not like customers matter, am I right? 🤡

  • BrandonBVarnell Brandon Varnell (@BrandonBVarnell) reported

    The worst thing about the new @Crunchyroll app for PS is it doesn't have a Simulcast tag anymore so I can't see what new shows have been added. Wtf did you get rid of that?

  • nijigasakilove 優木せつ菜 (@nijigasakilove) reported

    @Crunchyroll Awful show sadly

  • MambaNumbaFive MambaNumba5 (@MambaNumbaFive) reported

    Hey @Crunchyroll not sure why @AppleTV doesn’t have a “skip intro”and “next episode” buttons for your app like @amazonfiretv , but can we work on it for future updates? I can’t keep skipping 10sec at a time every time the intro song starts and go back to click on the next episode

  • ShaunV2 Shaun (@ShaunV2) reported

    @jvanparker @Crunchyroll The apps do work, the apps aren't made by Sony to begin with, they're available on other platforms, Xbox, Switch and Mobile.

  • not_nexa NeXa (@not_nexa) reported

    @HaitchiGaming @Crunchyroll Same issue on browser website, Android TV and PS4 app, really annoying tbh

  • ballmatthew Matthew Ball (OOO Camping/Hiking ⛺🌲🥾) (@ballmatthew) reported

    @TVMoJoe @loudmouthjulia It should have always been HBO+. The branding was confused due to MVPD deals, and the name was a clear way to help solve. What is it? HBO plus more stuff. What stuff? Other shows, TBS, Crunchyroll, DC, etc. HBO plus them. Max? Max what? Max originals? What are those.

  • Squirrelmob73 Secretsquirrel (@Squirrelmob73) reported

    @_Darthsoldier_ Crunchyroll tried to make an anime and it was the worst anime people have seen in years. ******** do they know about anything?

  • falloutboy842 yoink (@falloutboy842) reported

    @Crunchyroll @crunchyrollexpo Yall ever going to fix the damn infinite loading screen on your Xbox app.

  • GG_SunTzu Sun Tzu (@GG_SunTzu) reported

    @_Darthsoldier_ ...Crunchyroll list. Well, there's your problem.

  • KittyHawk_01 KittyHawk 🏳️‍⚧️ the Yoshimura Simp (@KittyHawk_01) reported

    How does crunchyroll have the worst app possible? Nothing ever ******* loads.

  • JaketheVGAfella Jake the VGA Fella (@JaketheVGAfella) reported

    If I could, I would help Crunchyroll fund an entire rerelease of Fullmetal Alchemist and FMA: Brotherhood where the voice of Edward is recast and entirely rerecorded. The dub, as great as it is, is sadly tainted by the fact that you-know-who voiced the lead protagonist.

  • blucub87 blucub87 (@blucub87) reported

    @HeulendeSchneke @Crunchyroll Even though Toei owns the rights they probably ran into licensing issues somewhere along the way. Philip's actor has distanced himself from KR but I'm not sure about the other actors. They may not have much voice acting experience.

  • jdmJusti Sang-Ook (@jdmJusti) reported

    @Crunchyroll #Crunchyroll So I barely started watching anime again and five mins later it starts to buffer. Man crunchy went down might as well go (JAVHD)

  • not_nexa NeXa (@not_nexa) reported

    Does anyone else have buffering problems with @Crunchyroll? I have this issue in browser website, android TV and PS4 app, I cannot watch more than 10 seconds and it starts buffering, its very annoying, Netflix and YT working well so its not my internet, happening since yesterday.

  • sonic171000 Sonic171 (@sonic171000) reported

    @PlatinumEquin0x Crunchyroll UI is confusing and trashy. The worst i’ve seen. Lol

  • Droid_504 Droid (@Droid_504) reported

    @Crunchyroll Can you add a subtitle option for the dub versions of anime, please? I watch anime after work (night time), when everybody is sleeping and my AC is too loud and my TV volumen is low bc I don't want to wake up nobody. Btw this is for the chromecast app. Thank You

  • JoshSepulveda13 Josh (@JoshSepulveda13) reported

    Today I learned crunchyroll is not blocked on my work computer :p

  • RalphAndLeo1 My Name Is Joe Da Hand (@RalphAndLeo1) reported

    @TheEncrypt @boiisevelly @Crunchyroll No problem!

  • commierider Storm (@commierider) reported

    Alright need some help For my show watching project, I've never finished a sports anime. I want to watch at least a few. I need 2 good sports anime recs, but: 1 of them is streamable on Crunchyroll and be 30-50 eps 1 doesn't need to be streamable but 50 or less eps that's it

  • jim61773 James Fujita (@jim61773) reported

    First reaction to #SlowLoop on @Crunchyroll: It's basically "Laid-Back Fishing." Crunch just needs to fix the subtitles, please!

  • HaitchiGaming Seth (@HaitchiGaming) reported

    Anyone else having issues with @Crunchyroll playstation app currently? Watched a show, and stuck in never ending buffering cycle. Other services are working fine so not my internet.

  • sabrorisser Sabrorisser (@sabrorisser) reported

    @Crunchyroll @DemonSlayerUSA What a terrible night to have a curse.

  • rozeyposie_jpg Z (@rozeyposie_jpg) reported

    surprise surprise Crunchyroll keeps buffering and the quality is absolutely ******* garbage

  • _teitokuma ᴡᴏᴏᴢʟᴇ 🇺🇸 (@_teitokuma) reported

    @_Darthsoldier_ "Worst fandom according to crunchyroll users" is the biggest possible compliment

  • YahomieButters Butters KFPRyS Stick of Butter🐔💎🐙🌿🪐 (@YahomieButters) reported

    @irysinghope I know…me too…it’s surreal that she graduated and I’m sad she won’t make an appearance at Crunchyroll 😢. Like you said though seeing everyone else work hard and listing to the members try to console sanalites was very heart warming.

  • ShaunV2 Shaun (@ShaunV2) reported

    @jvanparker @Sabii_4 @Crunchyroll I don't have the loading issue at all on the Switch version of the app, there is an issue with the Xbox version but it does load eventually for me. No issue on PC through a web browser. There should be no issue with it loading on the mobile app at all.

  • KoriKitsune35 ⛩コーリー狐⛩ (@KoriKitsune35) reported

    @saku_X3 Sadly…. It seems Crunchyroll servers are blocked on Japanese servers? My friend from Osaka couldny even access Crunchyroll until she got to Canada. I’d suggest getting a cheap VPN to access the site

  • PanurgeJr The Great Panurge-hy (@PanurgeJr) reported

    @yutaaaoo @Crunchyroll @crunchyrollexpo Never. They've decided they're going for quality content only.
