Stark (@1024adomin) reported@pEPgbD5YTx11090 @AratisIs @VeteranAnon I pay for Crunchyroll and the service is terrible. They steal user data every week, the subtitles are AI-generated, and I still haven't been able to watch the older anime I want because Crunchyroll refuses to add them. What can I do to watch them legally?
-
Frieren Mensageira da Opressão (@FrierenOpresora) reported@han8944 @innocence_SAC I literally didn’t say that, man. I’ll be straight with you: A lot of people are pointing out the problems, like with Crunchyroll for example. They show and explain everything, and what’s the response from 99% of the comments coming from there?
-
Kyouma_Sensei (@KyoumaSensei) reported@ChibiReviews The best way for Japan to do this imo: remove SONY's stranglehold on the distribution of Japanese content in overseas markets. I believe other distributors would care more about quality instead of relying on the poor quality of Crunchyroll. Even Disney would likely do better!
-
Preston (MR. TDX) (@MR__TDX) reported@Sagesaga Yeah it was on Crunchyroll, i genuinely hope they fix it because it generally made me upset when i watched the episode.
-
hassan shokr (@hassanshokr6) reported@Crunchyroll Why does Vash the Stampede make a terrible secret agent? Because he's a $6,000,000 (roughly $2 trillion in today's money) walking disaster zone.
-
Ashutosh Kumar (@AshutoshKr98) reported@Crunchyroll It is not showing up in Indian server Please fix it
-
Chimurry Al (@Chimurry_Al) reported@sudotadashi @Crunchyroll The fans itself is trying to use licensed anime or merch, many don't like groups selling or charging fees, but somehow the Companies just don't get the message or the idea, they need to evolve, otherwise keep losing and unfortunately, the creators get the worst
-
strajk- (@strajk_) reported@raisetom @Marte_Aleks Yes, because it will never be 0. It's a service issue which both of us already agreed on. The best way to combat piracy is to provide a better service, platforms like Netflix and Crunchyroll were the main force in combating pirating because they provided what the consumer wants.

TheSlavicGerman💂🏼♂️ (@WanshaerTv) reported@BlaqqCherii @AnimexTwts If you can’t afford less then 20$ a month, I feel you have bigger problems then buying crunchyroll
-
Drag🇩🇪🇮🇱🇺🇦 (@Drag007_) reported@GyaruGlow A website without data issues please. Crunchyroll has most anime on the market but it sucks ;-; Steals and sells data, data breaches, censorship etc ;-;
-
SinscoShopToday 🚯 (@SinscoShopSoon) reported@RX_9999_2 @MeneEstro This isn’t just the case with manga, streaming sites such as crunchyroll and Netflix also are notorious for upcharging users for horrible quality content where none of the profits go to the artists and animators that have put time and soul into their work.
-
kaneki (@kaneki_ed) reported@wahaladey23 @AnimexTwts the problem with crunchyroll is they don’t have a wide catalog have leaked users data and can’t even use good captions
-
Justis Hicks (@HicksJustis) reported@animeupdates Im preachin to the quire, I know we know this and corporate dont. Its just so amazing that thry try to find ways to fix this with"experts"when all it is atleast for crunchyroll, bring back comment section,be serious in preserving anime and not removing them,better translatlations
-
Bob Mcblob 🎀🍫🔪 (@bob_mcblob) reported@IceGamer495 @JanchoRZ @Crunchyroll EP1 had an error that was known and called out MONTHS in advance. And they somehow did not fix it. That being Anastasia saying city instead of country. Not to mention every single episode in s3 having errors. Going one episode without errors is the bare minimum.
-
SHINIKAZE (@kazeshini_69_) reported@Killjoy3879 @TheNCSmaster That's the problem right there, when Crunchyroll is usually one of the only options 😭
-
strajk- (@strajk_) reported@XperiARM @andipyon How do I pay the creator if the publisher won't sell it to me? Piracy is a service issue, look at Crunchyroll, Mangadex, Netflix and Steam, thanks to those platforms piracy has decreased, Crunchyroll and Mangadex in particular were initially pirate websites that became commercial
-
Burkino 🥇 (@Burkino_1) reported@SimesabaRakkyou @strikersashi @azukiglg Is that really an issue? Netflix pays a flat fee, Crunchyroll has a minimum guarantee + royalties. There's no cost for the studio. There are anime that were licensed to Funimation, Crunchyroll bought Funimation but not the licenses; now hundreds of animes are legally unwatchable
-
Ed Sensei (@EdSenseiSensei) reported@RX_9999_2 The piracy issue is not just about money, for example: for anime I would rather pay the japanese studios directly than having to use a ****** third-party like crunchyroll that alters the original content
-
Detvan SK (@DetvanS) reported@animelarp @AnimexTwts Don't forget It's AI images they had ton of time to do lot of them before release with all tries & errors VS human made with only few days to design, draw it, put it in the render it with whole episode Then upload it & hopes that someone at Crunchyroll will change VOD at time
-
DarkRoastWeeb (@TouhouPrisoner) reportedAs someone who pays for Crunchyroll (I'm not teaching my 71 year old mom how to pirate when I still help her with CR), it's an ****** company. CR is a multi billion dollar company but offers services that it should be embarrassed about.
-
HoundRyS (@HoundofHope) reported@sasori_yokuneru @cheekysnowfox Crunchyroll used to be a pirate group, then they went "legit" but they started abusing the trust of the people that followed them. Netflix has issues but I prefer them to Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll also robs creators from their merchandise rights overseas which is important funds.
-
TheFlammifer (@theflammifer) reported@magozone23 We want the work to be faithful to the original. Unfortunately the translators at companies like Crunchyroll are all activists pushing an agenda. It needs to stop and we need the Japanese companies to crack down on malicious mistranslations.
-
こんにゃん❢～♪ (@Ninurto) reported@Mizzu321 @bunburyoudoujp But yeah, in this specific case it might be my misjudgment, because I've seen thrown that example as fuel for thrashing localisers with most of them probably not even understanding why it's bad, while OP actually correctly stated problem with Crunchyroll translation. My bad here.
-
Verratus_Dominatu ✌️😈💜 (@Verratus_Speaks) reported@animetrends Also secondary point I just realized. People used to consume products like this all the time for free on TV. Anime doesn't typically air, especially not super commonly in the US on any particular TV channel, or other free service. The closest is Crunchyroll for a paid subscription, but they suck for a dozen different reasons. Maybe stop bitching about the pirates and go ***** about Crunchyroll, Netflix and other streaming services and their God awful business practices that drive people towards piracy instead of legitimate consumption Through a convenient and well priced service. Or you can go to war with pirates, which you have no way of ever actually stopping in. Will only serve to upset your fan base, and also, if anything, make you either more hated, less popular, or make less money from people who otherwise would have given it to you. You can try that strategy too. It's an interesting one. We'll see how it works out. Historically? not well.
-
Sertesh Sardrakal (@sertesh) reported@kazakura_22 Your best bet is to cut off overseas distribution and run overseas distribution through domestic distributors preferably like a hybrid of steam and crunchyroll. As long as they avoid the problems plaguing crunchyroll. Piracy would decline.
-
Kikurikick Appreciator 🐔 (CR: idk tbh) (@kfp_prophet) reported@ALTA_smile @TonalWeaver It varies but most companies don't really care about their customers beyond profit Crunchyroll, which essentially has a monopoly over anime distribution overseas, is infamous for cutting costs, poor quality service and AI translations,
-
Arman Das (@DasArman60668) reported@Crunchyroll it's a very good romance anime with good animation quality but sadly there no season 3 only a movie . i like this anime .
-
Jonathan Saint Fong (@thegreatestjc) reported@Dexerto Tbh. It is what it is. I would just be happy if people enjoyed my work regardless. I'll still make money. Look at what crunchyroll is charging their users.....who's gonna stay loyal for long? Probably not a lot of people.
-
The Archivist (@Archive_Knarl) reported@AcSK1LLies In the long run Vic won, he still voice acts, still gets accepted at conventions that aren’t the big name cons, acts in live action stuff. While Funimation died, crunchyroll took over, fired a majority of the funimation people, and now Monica and her ilk barely get work
-
Seth Keta (@SethKeta) reported@AOIKEN72 As Gabe Newell once said. Piracy is a service problem. When piracy is more convenient, you have a problem. That is why Crunchyroll is suffering right now. I hate corporations and the bastards making a profit from theft. It's a situation where no one wins and we all lose.
