Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
gammongaming (@gammongaming) reported@p9cker_girl good, **** crunchyroll. they provide a terrible service. if they were closer to steam, people would subscribe, but they are actually terrible.
-
Chris St.Germain (@KanekiSno_) reported@Lashcry @B_Rabbit843 Once again there another naive person that doesn't know how things work. Crunchyroll is a platform, they have to license these shows from the different studios, if the studio doesn't want to renew because the viewership isn't there anymore then they wont renew.
-
Luxi (@AExquisiteGamer) reported@Crunchyroll FIX YOUR CONSOLE SERVERS! THEY’VE BEEN DOWN SINCE THE LATEST UPDATE. MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! THANKS
-
manganime2025 (@manganime2025) reported@Pirat_Nation They pay the most for buying streaming licenses and they pay for production costs of many anime, judging from end credits(I can read Japanese). So, without Crunchyroll earning enough, anime industry can fade = lower quality + small number of anime. So, I support for Crunchyroll.
-
Anime Aura (@TheAnimeAura) reportedI can only think of licencing issue or they just want to remove it. Another L for Crunchyroll for being one of the worst anime streaming platform
-
Misha Turtle Island, CTO 🐢 (@MishaTurtleX) reported@BaronGeek @JohnnyGaming9 I have YouTube and Crunchyroll on my Nintendo Switch and use them regularly. I have better and other devices. But for the OLED switch in particular (Switch 2 has much worse battery), yeah, I’d rather watch something quickly on that than burn 20% of an iPad battery. I also sometimes go to YouTube and Crunchyroll when docked and I don’t care about 4K on that TV. It looks fine outputting basic YouTube and Crunchyroll. Users like me exist even if you think it’s illogical. This isn’t a big issue to me to the point where I wouldn’t own the Switch, but I would prefer they had streaming apps.
-
DVP7 (@ChaosTriforce7) reported@SheeGee @B_Rabbit843 Crunchyroll is a terrible company.
-
Bones and Meat (@BonesinsideMeat) reported@Crunchyroll Hey if I sit down with my food to eat and watch T.V. I dont want to have to relog in because you guys can't protect your servers Literally unsubbing because you guys suck..
-
Chris St.Germain (@KanekiSno_) reported@OneEyedSoloKing @AnimexTwts God you are stupid as ****. Crunchyroll is literally the most used platform right now for all the anime studios streaming platform. Crunchyroll is the main hub for anime studios to release their shows on. However it becomes an issue with licensing because of yall
-
ありす ✨ (@harpnote) reported@crunchyroll Fix your site CR I can't even full screen the video because you made the top nav bar floating and it blocks me every time my mouse hovers over it. Why am I paying for a service that doesn't work? (desktop, Chrome browser)
-
Arden (@mrownersan) reported@B_Rabbit843 People let the internet formulate their opinions for them. Like who ******** actually cares about the crunchyroll anime of the year. Using that to start a hate campaign is ridiculous. I don't care for Solo Leveling but that doesnt mean the team didn't put in good work.
-
Kouga (@glimsering) reported@Crunchyroll your tv app has been constantly having playback issues when you start an episode fix it
-
DUNGEON-00X (@Dungeon00X) reportedThis is not even a rights issue, this is Sony being Sony again. They own A-1 Pictures, Aniplex AND Crunchyroll, so this coming shitstorm is all on THEM! They did this with Expelled From Paradise and they're doing it now, screw Sony. Cancel your Crunchyroll subscriptions.

Pickle Rick (@LawnChairNYK) reported@Crunchyroll out here burning the @peacock servers lmfao. #Fuckcrunchyroll
-
MYCATISVERYCOOL (@Toph1x) reported@Flipp1234567890 @extraemilyy @Crunchyroll This guy needs help
-
chay (@innercourtnotes) reportedQue mierda es Crunchyroll why do I pay for this **** if it doesn’t work
-
Shadow The Wise Wolf🐾💜🦴⚔️ (@ShadowWiseWolf) reported@Sareniia Dead *** I can’t, it’s my login to Crunchyroll
-
Bird 🐦⬛ (@Birdsharna) reportedistg Crunchyroll are taking them all down issue is that they might not do so in legal means, but no one dares to take them on since pirating is also not really legal
-
aasaa_ (@ArthurN37229758) reportedAnother reason why Crunchyroll is the worst anime streaming service
-
YuYu HakuHorrè 🇯🇲 (@ProblemticPanda) reportedCrunchyroll is really the worst app I’ve ever had the displeasure of using 😣😣
-
SpankySenpai (@Spanky_Senpai) reported@B_Rabbit843 Crunchyroll caused significant problems to both producers and viewers for years until they recently became slightly above ****. I’m assuming you don’t know that because you started watching in 2020, stay in your lane retard.
-
lotmsarvin (@lotmsarvin93142) reported@riker_rhodes @magisxdv Season 2 would be a huge help because it will be a better adaptation and on top of that the fact that Crunchyroll will not **** up again. But season 3 will be a game changer
-
ᴸᵒᵛᵉʳˢ ᴬʳᵉ ᵀʳᵉᶰᵈʸ ᴮᵃᵇʸ (@DandyInLuv) reported@Crunchyroll fix ur subtitles, they are incorrect. Even one piece? why am I - a non native, understanding the flaws/cracks in translation. Please.
-
Bugs Bunny (@RandomWordsGuy) reported@OrlandoVelez40 @KuroSekaiAnime The drop was for the Japanese subsidiary of Crunchyroll, not Crunchyroll as a whole. The way the OP originally presented the info was (probably unintentionally) extremely misleading. For the business as a whole, it's a tiny fraction that's basically a rounding error.
-
A'Leah (@ilLEAHgal) reported@Crunchyroll Can I have some help with my account? I can’t cancel my membership and it’s not with Apple.
-
Kev (@Kev57382523) reported@Crunchyroll The worst high pitched male voice. Insufferable. Turned a nice watch into something unbearable. Whoever cast the MC in English must be fired
-
『piaatsey』 (@piaatsey) reported@Crunchyroll @Crunchyroll_de I LITERALLY PAID 4 TIMES FOR YOUR 3 MONTH SUBSCRIPTION PLAN, EVERY PAYMENT WENT THROUGH BUT YOU KICK ME EVERY 5 MINUTES? WHAT ******** IS YOUR PROBLEM BRO I JUST WANNA WATCH RE ZERO
-
カリスト (@calistraal) reported@ForzaHorizon @Crunchyroll worst collab
-
Re: Zero News by Ice (@rezero_ice) reported@DekuTier14598 If this is the case, and the same for all affected regions, Crunchyroll is having licensing issues with them mid-season. Which is just pure, ******* incompetence.
-
Neil 🏴🇬🇧 (@NeilR1997) reported@Benin_prince_ @AnimexTwts Haven't really watched anime on Crunchyroll for who knows how long as when I did I had issues with watching ones when they came on, them making the service worse over time, shutting down competitors, and frankly I have a better viewing experience with torrents
