John Anderson (@JohnnyboySP) reported@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.

Chibi Reviews (@ChibiReviews) reportedIMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS!!! I need to raise awareness of this situation ASAP. There's a massive breach that has been happening and its currently being ignored. It can lead to serious issues in the future if left unchecked. Please share this tweet and like it for the higher ups can fix this serious issue. Now onto what is going on. I have been contacted by a very credible source confirming the origin of the leaks for multiple anime lately and recently "Mushoku Tensei Season 3 Episode 4" that started to appear on Reddit. Turns out it's not Crunchyroll causing the leaks. It's actually the Japanese VOD platform "b-ch" B-ch is a Japanese VOD site ran by Bandai Namco. Yes, the same Bandai Namco with OPM. This is their @/BandaiChannel on Twitter Now how did the Leak even happen? Here's the details and me explaining everything as best as possible. In the left image I have attached to this post, is how the episodes are leaking. The highlighted reference id is Mushoku Tensei's reference id aka episode 4 on Bandai Namco's platform. It shows the VOD container for the leaked episode opening and from there someone can use some simple tools to download the leaked episode. Basically they are accessing their site that has a clear vulnerability "I know this is technical if you don't know what you're looking at or understand stuff like this" However this is what has been happening and the reason so many episodes have been leaking lately days before the official release. Apparently the platform was contacted after episodes started to leak, but they didn't take the warning too serious which led to Mushoku Season 3 Episode 4 being leaked along other new anime shows

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?
-
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
-
YourCrazyTomato🍅 (@YourCrazyTomato) reportedHow is the @Crunchyroll app on tv si terrible? Cant even get a list of previous episodes. I have to search for the anime to get the list of episodes
-
Comic 📘 (@ArchbishopOfRBD) reportedAt this point I’m really starting to question what is the point of Crunchyroll in the first place. Holy **** this is terrible
-
Spidercorpo (@SpiGuardian) reported@ChibiReviews The "anime creators" being silent on the matter doesn't surprise me in the slightest at all because they were never truly anime & manga fans at all if they truly were then otherwise they wouldn't be paid out by crunchyroll entirely but to assure everyone this still won't work
-
RetroGamerKong (@RetroGamerKong) reportedGood 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! Ni 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
-
Vee_Mix (@VmoneyR) reported@JazzLikesToGame @Crunchyroll @lagoon_revy Good thing I bought the blu ray and dvd set many years ago. Saved myself from trouble there
-
YUMUM (@SebbUnbanned) reported@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
-
Koko 💮 Con Goer 🔜 SDCC (@koko_sdcc) reportedAnything from #Crunchyroll besides My Hero Academia? I had so much fun at #AX, and now I’m hoping for another Crunchyroll fix at #SDCC 🥹Anything happening at the Rady Shell on Saturday?

Zach 🇺🇸 (@VegetaReese) reportedThe day Crunchyroll uploads a One Piece on time and without issue will be the day Hell freezes over
-
Nyuku (@Nyukudaily) reportedCrunchyroll going corpo is the worst thing to happen to the western anime sphere
-
Ria Alexanders, ⚠️Only Back Temporarily⚠️ (@RiaAlexanders) reported@CecilsTrixieJ Crunchyroll has the benefit of not having anime exclusive competitors, but a lot of the other streaming services have a lot of the mainstream anime. The general population doesn't watch the rest of the catalog, so Crunchyroll's vast options isn't going to help then.
-
Steph (@CrossStitchgg) reported@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?
-
Abyss (@abysology) reportedI’m sorry, but the internet is too vast and advanced to be paying for streaming services in 2026 If you unironically use Crunchyroll in this and age, seek help
-
Man of Honour 🎖 (@ElfuzoSinZu) reported@doncroiix Sigh, the issue is he was comparing what movies kini kan was doing to what crunchyroll was doing. Did you see the initial post?
-
Realslimshaddy (@osimssss) reportedAnyone with crunchyroll or Hulu logins? Please help a sister 😔🙏🏾
-
DovahKiller Unchained (@DovahkillerU) reported@ChibiReviews Crunchyroll is the worst site for watching anime
-
Animedude1287 (@animedude1287) reported@Maclovesmanga @Crunchyroll Just how things work. Super Sentai is going through a smiler things as the company won’t make any more and no more streaming sites. On eBay one is going for over $500.

🇺🇸 Guru Of Syrinx 🇺🇸 (@GuruOfSyrinx) reported@BananaDnG Hypothetically, Yes. If whichever streaming service you have allows you to "screen record" your shows. Crunchyroll specifically prevents you from doing this. You would think that its common sense. The problem however, is licensing and distribution. None of which is possible if EVERYONE does what you suggest. The problem is this: physical copies already give you permission to watch what you have. Streaming services do that without the physicality, but with these servers. Taking away the physical data creates a direct conflict between you the consumer, and the ability to watch what you want to watch. That is all. So yes. You can do what you clalim in your intiial comment, but there are concequences. One being the inability to own what tou watch.

Mr.Teatime (@MrTeatime10) reported@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.
-
W33aboojones 🎮🌸 (@W33ab00Jones) reportedYou can't hate Sony and Crunchyroll enough. They saw how much money they could make from anime fans and gamers and instead of working with us they just go straight to ******* up the hobbies and draining your wallet dry harder than a gacha game with their limited time waifu pulls. Never forget that they made these issues with their bad business decisions and are now using the retarded decisions to justify bullshit like this.
-
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. 😭
-
JeanKMC (@JeanKMC_37) reported@tlsmith1963 @Kid_Caution @Crunchyroll Spa lat don't work
-
Rory 💎 SixTONES (@smilebomb34) reported@FlashFireFist_ @DoesItPlay1 When they acquired Funimation all digital media that fans bought quietly disappeared without giving refunds to customers. The worst part, is they promised to move the whole library to Crunchyroll, and they didn't.
-
MangoNinja (@man84381885) reported@ChibiReviews Quality of service just isn't there, and i remember crunchyroll criticising alot of anime like goblin slayer and shield hero or change subs like one piece or re:zero to suit there agenda Fans just want to watch anime
-
RetroGamerKong (@RetroGamerKong) reported@MADkurious @Seramurai_ @afistfulofteeth Finally, you speak. They are already canceling discs, honey. Giving them more money and rewarding them for anti-consumer practices does not help us at all. It's the opposite, in fact. Why are you more concerned about Sony employees going out of a job and not video game retailers? Ending physical discs will hurt them too. Or do you not care? Or did you forget? I'm also curious if you support what Sony is doing with Crunchyroll. Are you ok with them limiting the physical release of anime and locking it behind an ever growing digital paywall? I can't wait to find out if you answer or hide.

michael b mcclain 🇺🇸 (@DJMM32Mcclain) reported@autopilotgod And I do think it's a rarity when you got a platform that doesn't promote crap that butchers everything it touches Plus Crunchyroll has the worst track record known to mankind. It's funny how you treat my words like gospel but truthfully I'm a nobody. 😐
