-
Bebo_Bl3SS3D ♏️ (@bebob50) reportedPersonally hope every Country in the world bans @Crunchyroll like Japan did. ****** app thats money hungry doesn’t give you all anime content and just thinks they can monopolize the industry. Burn, crash and disappear from the world already.
-
Exodus (@Keyblader007) reported@Crunchyroll Funny enough that’s not what they are called in Japanese but it’s not a terrible translation localization for understanding sense.
-
Gama 🌒 (@EMelafec) reported@LilLilyRizz aw **** man they got aniwatch, such a great site, idk why the hell people just pay for crunchyroll instead of pirating anime, i mean its a good thing cuz that means the free sites can still just spawn out of nowhere and its not such a huge issue but still
-
kufenke (@KMakwabara91070) reported@YD20250410 @glen_calz @japanese_iam Not to mention piracy is still a service problem maybe make it actually viable to support the authors.steam also made piracy less viable for video games so why is it that the same cannot be done with manga and anime. Not to mention Crunchyroll using ai for subs.

posty (@postywapp) reported@LiterallyMeGuy It’s on Crunchyroll do u need my login
-
Daniel (@Mad_DanielFL) reported@gravitronx2727 @Cyan_with_a_bh The team behind HGS doesn’t even work at Crunchyroll anymore, and I like how you ignore all the ACTUAL anime they helped produce since 2015
-
Grok (@grok) reported@fearlessxz @AnimeSpotlightt Yes, it's true. "Release That Witch" (the 2026 donghua) was cut short after Episode 8 due to funding and production issues with the distributor. It aired weekly on Crunchyroll from March 2 to April 20, 2026, but was originally planned for a longer first season (some reports say 12–24 episodes) before cuts. No Season 2 is confirmed yet, though fans have started a petition.

rodo (@WATERDRlNKER) reported@Hockfan445 @ShopCrunchyroll @Crunchyroll literally at work rn
-
manganime2025 (@manganime2025) reportedUsually, if there is an original manga, the publishing company is on the top of the list as they pay the most. However, when Aniplex (meaning Sony Crunchyroll group) pays the most, the quality of anime adaptation tend to become another level = a lot higher than expected (tbc↓)
-
Vivian (@MxVivianWulf) reported@Crunchyroll Would love some proper subtitles for this show instead of the AI generated slop that makes it impossible to know what ppl are saying. It looks gorgeous and I'm sure a lot of work went into it. Seems a shame to not give it subs so folks who don't speak chinese can appreciate it.
-
Raging eagle (@raging_eagle3) reported@Crunchyroll @netflix if your going to shut down pirating websites can you add these show then. I would love to keep paying you but you don't have the shows I want. Patlabor: Tv series Lupin the III movies Detective conan rest of the series. etc Infinite money glitch I promise
-
Drathrouse (@AdamPomeroy16) reported@Crunchyroll Has anybody noticed that their sub is broken? The Warrior Princess and the barbarian king episode four came out today. I wanted to watch it. They don’t even have English for it. Why put it in America if Americans can’t watch it
-
Mgcini (@MgciniX) reportedI miss the days when Crunchyroll allowed me to watch anime for free with that glitch 😔
-
KJ Ridley (@RidleyKj) reported@tmd8964 Crunchyroll has had this problem even when it was just Funimation. For further citation, look into the Dubs for Ms. Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Prison School, YU-NO, Interviews with Monster Girls, etc.
-
bingoze (@bingoze_) reported@SeehIsMe i would have no problem paying for crunchyroll or whatever other service if they werent just abysmal. the websites have more shows in better quality with better subs, just overall a better experience. make the paid services worth paying for and ill pay
-
🌸Sam🌸 (@Kabukimononoke) reportedanytime im talking to my coworkers about anime and they find out the show im watching isnt on crunchyroll or netflix the convo just ends regardless of if the were interested in the work or not, incurious and opiated generation raised on instant streaming gratification
-
**** Kamoli (@DickBitchington) reported@Crunchyroll Good day. I had an account 3 years ago but due to financial problems I had to close it. Now I am try to open it again using the same email and it says I have to enter a valid email address. Funny thing I've been getting emails from you using the very same email
-
Sylviia (@MySylvii) reported@VHSDVDBLURAY4K I mean.. he's right. Same goes with the anime piracy. If sites like crunchyroll (which has had major issues to the point I wouldn't pay them another dime) would actually offer all anime at lower costs I'm sure people would start using the official sites more.
-
Florrie Ellen Moore (@florrieemoore16) reported@Crunchyroll why is there no subtitles available for attack on titans rn??!!!!?! fix this asap please
-
Daniel (@Mad_DanielFL) reported@basedweeb1991 The team behind that show doesn’t even work there anymore… Also Crunchyroll has only produced ACTUAL anime since then…
-
Sabin Ghimire (@Saw_Bean223) reported@Crunchyroll If I don't get the full anime from the official app itself then why won't I look for an alternative?It's not like I wanted to but it's what you made me do. So maybe just maybe fix your own website first and also research why do people not use your website first to satisfy payers.
-
Ginggg - (@Rakimovich) reported@muginokaizoku Sanji got tons of plotholes in his writing and no actual development. Quantity>quiality ahh writing. worst consistent writing in all shonen genre. he is weaker. he is not more popular. check crunchyroll or any other platforms and Zoro's scenes always gain many times more views.
-
Im Virus (@virus27068) reported@Crunchyroll Add 1.25x speed option too Otherwise neither me or anyone i know will buy your premium You give the worst user experience, i can definitely say that
-
Vikzz (@Aidee_Vikzz) reported@thebashanator7 Yes I do actually. I dont agree with piracy and im the person who calls out most of the issues regarding Crunchyroll and ReZero. The author and animators put sweat and tears to deliver the story, yet here you are skipping through it because you felt so. You're better not watching
-
DovahKiller Unchained (@DovahkillerU) reported@ChibiReviews Watching anime on Crunchyroll is the worst way to watch anime
-
(@AmostKeska) reportedCrunchyroll is a good example why people still use piracy in the west. most anime fans in the west would rather if we had a Japanese distributor than via a proxy of the western companies since there is no trust in them in this field for many reasons. the price isnt the issue
-
Irrelevant name (@kolnorbee63680) reported@kaitetrev2 @Crunchyroll Well, since we are talking about that, that protein part really got me bad. Misuse of protein, or stomach problems, especially at school, is something that bothers me quite a bit...
-
Wesley Grey (@Inscryptioner) reported@TheMobRules73 @Crunchyroll ****, i'd do it for peanuts of they wanted. Especially since the localizers have flat out admitted they don't actually do the translation work (you know, the hardest part of it)
-
Leminala 🇯🇵 (@leminala) reported@p9cker_girl So glad that I've permanently dropped @Crunchyroll . Between their bastardized localization, the constant data leaks and awful customer service, I can't imagine why people still support it.
-
Dom | 🖤❤️ (@5andthen6) reported@NamiNagisaKawa Crunchyroll only ever has the most popular stuff it's so awful Also off topic but that room is what I strive to have one day
