  Hey @Crunchyroll can you fix the caption in most of your anime especially Naruto. Some captions are missing when they are talking to themselves!!! Thanx!!!

  @JayDMarlin think you just landed on Earth or what? Have you seen Crunchyroll crash? And okay, if Attack on Titan didn’t break the internet, then why is it one of the most-watched series ever and sitting among the highest-rated on IMDb? I know why, though, some fandoms just love to hate 😭🫴🏻

  @FlashFireFist_ @shitpost_2049 Because if I want to watch an anime no one is talking about in the mainstream media, it won’t be on crunchyroll 9/10, and that’s my issue with it. It doesn’t care about the older stuff, and obviously is only going to cater to newer mainstream things.

  @Crunchyroll yo, can you guys take a look at the multitude of errors in your English subtitles? I'm watching Psycho Pass and it's getting so many words and names incorrect. Feels like the captions are AI generated. Please... one human could fix this in a day...

  It's been a bad couple of months for anime fans. - Aniwatch got shutdown - Aniwave got shutdown - 9anime got deleted (twice) - Hi anime got deleted - Anizone lasted like 4 months - Animekai servers got burnt (wtf crunchyroll?!) Crunchyroll subscription isn't even worth it. Poor people can't have nice things anymore 😔

  @junosdeviI i deadass think the same + if a big *** company like crunchyroll is being seriously threatened by a piracy site bc of their range of content then that’s literally a skill issue💀😭

  A-cat should go down as the worst animation studio to ever be made and Crunchyroll should be ashamed of themselves for using them TBATE, the TBATE anime doesn’t exist! Please PLEASE go read the manga it’s fantastic don’t let the anime be how you know it

  @Thomas_Tentacle I don’t think you even understand what piracy is. Crunchyroll has failed as a service and is actually losing a lot of money right now. Piracy comes from bad service and will continue until things change. Some do it because they can’t afford it but I can’t blame them when these prices go up and quality goes down. I used to pay for Crunchyroll to support the creators, but even I have a limit with such a terrible service. Many simply don’t want to pay for terrible service when a piracy website does it 100 times better.

  What the hell are we doing with Crunchyroll shutting down pirate anime websites? Y'all just got surpassed by Netflix as the best anime platform out there. We don’t want to pay for your stuff; it’s ******* expensive. Like, bro, this is the worst fall for anime at this point. Wtf🥀

  gods least liked child (@godsleastliked) reported 21 minutes ago

  @FlashFireFist_ @shitpost_2049 I was being hyperbolic, ofc one of the most popular anime’s of all time is going to be on crunchyroll, the issue is the fact that it’s making cease and desists on the sites, while not providing as good as a service as piracy, that’s the issue.

  @AnimexTwts Crunchyroll and every other company and/or anime streaming service need to give up on maliciously taking down anime piracy sites or just improve the quality of their ****** services already Either way, we win

  Zerift (@Zerift_1) reported 26 minutes ago

  @Crunchyroll gonna be real honest, I wish i could remove the manga and games from my subscription. They offer no value to me. Gotta admit ever since @Sony bought you lot, the service is getting lower in quality.

  istg 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

• 
  Anime Spotlight (@AnimeSpotlightt) reported 30 minutes ago

  9/ People pirate less when: • Simulcasts are fast • Apps work well • Libraries are huge • Dubs/subs are localized • Quality is high • Watching legally becomes easier Spotify reduced music piracy. Netflix reduced movie piracy. Crunchyroll is slowly doing the same for anime

  @Crunchyroll Aaah shame. Yeah, I was wondering why the next dub wasn’t available yet. Happens sometimes for sure, especially with the never-endingly stacked seasonal priority lists to get through and quality control. Hope Bookworm Dubs will also be releasing on time.🤞🏼

  @rezero_ice To me, it felt like the use of "Fairies" here was meant to be mocking the spirits in a way. Like calling them weak or delicate. Not trying to defend crunchyroll or anything they still suck, but i didn't see it as much of an error compared to previous translations.

  @Crunchyroll The worst high pitched male voice. Insufferable. Turned a nice watch into something unbearable. Whoever cast the MC in English must be fired

  Crunchyroll still one of the worst streaming platforms out there.

  When does it ACTUALLY release? Because all this AI summary junk is messing up content of sites as people start relying on it more and there's several issues going on at once. NETFLIX releases every Saturday at 3PM EST....May 9th (today) is 1160 CRUNCHYROLL is May 10th? At 12PM?

  @Crunchyroll May I know the reason why the Polish language (which doesn't work anyway) is added and removed from the site every few days? Am I testing you? Or are you planning to add Polish?

• 
  ALEX (@Ay_See1003) reported 52 minutes ago

  @urcheapo0o @onepirateking1 Nah. The only times I pirate is when Crunchyroll doesn't have what I'm looking for. That's happened a total of 4 times. Maybe. I had to pirate parasyte and I'm planning to pirate Orb. Other than that, if Crunchyroll has it then I'm watching it on Crunchyroll. I get 0 issues.

  @Lann_Bais @Crunchyroll Homie, I'm not arguing to you about its quality. I know it's a mid series. I don't like it much either. But, regardless of that, the series prints money and has a big fanbase. Yeah, a fanbase of probable losers but a big fanbase all the same. That's why it gets new seasons.

  When everyone moves in one direction, look the other way. Not to be contrarian — but because “market consensus” is often just a fancy term for the status quo. In 2008, I was told I’d “ruin my career” if I joined Crunchyroll. The company had just closed its Series A, but no one in the industry took them seriously. Anyone with “real” licensing experience wanted nothing to do with them. I joined anyway. Five days after my first call with the founders, I was on a plane to Japan. While the rest of the industry played it safe, I built the foundation of anime in the West: • The first anime SVOD model — from scratch. • Revshare formulas that gave licensors real upside for the first time. • The first 60 licensing deals that proved it could scale. This alignment is what made the platform work. It’s what turned a “career-ending move” into Sony’s $1.2B acquisition. Don’t just follow deal flow. Find the gaps where everyone else is afraid to go. That’s where the real opportunities hide.
