Crunchyroll Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
LowMeHigh (@Witcher_Demon) reported@LeanaLovings It's awful too cause you're a fan of a series and you want to own the dvds then Crunchyroll was one of the few companies that officially licensed blu-rays (which is what Japan typically produced and those sales determined if a new season got made). But now it's basically impossible to collect dvds unless you're importing them with no subs and off a secondary market. When Funimation ended it was signaled the monopoly Crunchyroll has in the western anime market. We don't get to own anything anymore sadly

Newtype *** (@Saturday_Anime) reported>I wake up >crunchyroll ****** up >I go to work >crunchyroll ****** up >I come home >crunchyroll ****** up >I got to sleep >crunchyroll ****** up Is there any other greater constant in nature?
-
Tiago (@tiagomscampos) reported@TomBilyeu As someone who used to pay for anime for years, Crunchyroll has made it unbearable in recent years. I’m all for paying creators for their work, but a better alternative platform is needed.
-
ILOVEPIE (@ILOVEPIEsynergy) reported@Crunchyroll NO DISK NO BUY Fix your customer service Sony. No matter what name you take, including crunchyroll.
-
brainfart (@BrainfartAgent) reportedPaying 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.
-
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
-
Zero (@penguindayzero) reported@MangaAlerts What a terrible company. Barakamon is peak content. I'd say this is why you always buy physical but they're doing their best to get rid of that too. @Crunchyroll
-
RetroGamerKong (@RetroGamerKong) reported@MADkurious How does my encouragement to cancel PlayStation Plus and Crunchyroll, help Sony? Elaborate. I'm curious.... Do you think community notes help developers advertise their games, or does it hurt them?
-
Odd-Eyes (@OddEyesDragoon) reportedSony 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.

Riley (@RileyEatsGood) reported@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.

Kougeru 🐉⛩️ (@Kougeru) reported@FoxSTARSVT The issue is that Crunchyroll owns the rights to most anime. Yes, we can order on other sites like Amazon but check the publisher - most stuff from the last 2-3 years is from Crunchyroll (or Aniplex which is also Sony). They'll likely stop selling outside CR store soon...

😈JUJU😈 (@JBeannss) reportedJust paid for my crunchyroll 😌 about to finish my work and take a break to watch some anime

Tavares Jackson (@TheWalkingT) reported@Kaedc768 @SiKthYEXP Guess you guys didn’t have a problem when they bought crunchyroll or when they purchased Evo huh
-
SoCalSamX (@SoCalSamX) reported@Nuk200 @Crunchyroll Paywalling basic access to the shop is messed up. The discount program always existed and nobody had a problem with it. Charging to access the shop at all is insane.
-
AppealingBasedGames (@AppealingGames) reported@andresarawr @Orihime_chan0 By supporting Crunchyroll you: 1 - Don't support the artists 2 - You like censorship 3 - Enjoy low quality subtitles 4 - Support Incorrect Localization 5 - Love Removal of anime with no announcements etc
-
Icasaurus (@plzdobruh) reportedWhy is crunchyroll being SO ******* SLOW on my computer it keeps lagging like every two seconds jfc I have high speed internet @Crunchyroll fix your ****
-
Mike Krupp (@K9Audio) reported@BobServo1 It truly shows a lack of quality and care on the part of the company. There have been many crunchyroll anime that boast audio description but you can immediately tell its written by AI. I've encountered the wrong audio track sync on an episode. Companies that use AI don't care
-
zero deaths (@zero210spartan) reported@ChibiReviews I never watched that anime. Regardless crunchyroll doesn't look like to be changing course anytime soon, imo. It shouldn't be supported. It is a terrible platform. Terrible service to consume anime. Not good.

RetroGamerKong (@RetroGamerKong) reportedNO DISC 💿 NO BUY welcomes ALL GAMERS! Only together can we make our voices heard! We have to keep shouting what this movement is about: CONSUMER RIGHTS - We should be able to buy any game we want, physical or digital! We DO NOT want that option taken away from us! WE WANT TO OWN WHAT WE BUY! - We work hard for our money and its unacceptable that we have to worry about games, films, and anime being ripped away from us because of licence issues or if a live service ends. We DO NOT want an all digital monopoly controlled by SONY. We want competition! We want a thriving 2nd hand market that keeps the industry healthy! We WANT SONY to guve us the respect we deserve and address our concerns! How do we fight? I'll show you: SPEAK DIRECTLY TO PLAYSTATION ON X- Never let them forget that we want PHYSICAL GAMES and that their anti-consumer shenanigans will not be tolerated! 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!!! UNTIL Sony reverses course, our PlayStation 5s are closed for business. NO DISC 💿 NO BUY, MAKE SONY CRY

-
Sonoro (@SON0R0) reported@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. 😭

Chubik Engineer 314 (@Chubik_Engineer) reportedHaving heard the Japanese from the scenes in question... I don't think crunchyroll did that bad translating this time. The other translation feels a bit like an old-school fan translation, with both errors and charms. But honestly, I think that Chibi is being nitpicky here.

RetroGamerKong (@RetroGamerKong) reportedGood Morning, X! Another day of forgetting to take my medication! What are your plots? Your plans? Your plunderings for today? I'm actually taking a tiny break from X right now to enjoy my lunch hour and then focus on work. Work has been super slow today, so I was able to get in a lot of SONY Shill Hunting and PlayStation bullying this morning. It was glorious and provides a catharsis that money can't buy. However, I think I had enough for a few hours and I'll be back later, never fear. Gym is also in the menu today, back and triceps! Wait a second.... I think I hear an important message coming in: ---------NoDiscNoBuyALERT----------- Before I forget, here is a special message for our readers: KEEP HARASSING PLAYSTATION ON X- Keep the community notes coming! People need to be warned of the dangers of an all digital future! Continue to remind SONY that we want PHYSICAL GAMES!!!! 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!!! UNTIL Sony reverses course, our PlayStation 5s are closed for business. NO DISC 💿 NO BUY, MAKE SONY CRY
