  @TomBilyeu As someone who used to pay for anime for years, Crunchyroll has made it unbearable in recent years. I’m all for paying creators for their work, but a better alternative platform is needed.

  @PhysicReleases Buy from stores that aren't crunchyroll problem solved. Why do Americans always stick to 1 store???

  @peaceundelta @Taro_of_Agartha It's somehow the worst of both worlds, making Linux look like you need sudo commands to watch Crunchyroll to normies and making Linux seem like poseur-hacker **** to people who actually like that kind of thing.

  How is it Sony is able to making ******* awful decisions with both PlayStation and Crunchyroll?

  The Crunchyroll store functions like the tiny discount section you’d find at the back of a store. The items are limited & all over the place. Worst of all, Crunchyroll's items aren’t even discounted. Why would anyone pay a subscription to shop through them???

  bruh on the flight back home i was sitting next to a guy who works at crunchyroll and we were just chatting about nerd stuff i mentioned kagurabachi and he said he likes it too so obviously i start Yapping Like Crazy. only problem is he only read volume 1 so i gave him spoilers.

  @LeanaLovings It's awful too cause you're a fan of a series and you want to own the dvds then Crunchyroll was one of the few companies that officially licensed blu-rays (which is what Japan typically produced and those sales determined if a new season got made). But now it's basically impossible to collect dvds unless you're importing them with no subs and off a secondary market. When Funimation ended it was signaled the monopoly Crunchyroll has in the western anime market. We don't get to own anything anymore sadly

  @kalaelizabeth This isn't cool on Sony's part. I'm not buying anything from them for the near future at least. I used to love Crunchyroll, but this action and their removal of select digital purchases and simultaneous removal of physical media is terrible. Shame!

  @ShopCrunchyroll This is terrible and I will never purchase anything from you again. What a way to keep shrinking your market. Crunchyroll is a stain on the anime/manga community.

  @Crunchyroll bro Piracy is a service problem Fix your service

  They just removed #BLACKLAGOON from Crunchyroll with no warning or announcement of when it will be removed from the streaming platform. This **** is a big problem with streaming services and digital stores. Glad I got this awesome anime on Blu-ray.

  @PrimeVideo I keep seeing "(# x) in (category)" but there is nowhere to browse categories to see the list of top movies of each category. There needs to be more search options instead of going through random recommendations until you stumble upon something interesting. You should be able to search by date, time period, genres, category, streaming service, recently added, tending, most liked, and award winners and nominees. And any of them at once, not just one at a time. I paid for no ads but there are still ads that I need to skip, which is false advertising. And I noticed whenever I watch Crunchyroll videos via Prime video, the video quality is worse than watching directly from Crunchyroll as shown in the example below👇

  @adol1701 @DoesItPlay1 Crunchyroll store is who sells a lot of physical anime that's the issue

  I haven’t been buying anything from Crunchyroll, but this kinda solidifies that I probably won’t ever again. None of their streaming platforms work correctly. They wall out their own customers, wanting them to pay more. It feels like they genuinely do not care. I’m done with them

• 
  VDeviance (@vdeviance) reported 36 minutes ago

  The bigger problem is that people *wanted* Crunchyroll to be that one stop shop for all anime a decade ago. The Crunchyroll that exists now is because of Sony's habit of duplicating effort without a coherent business direction and getting rid of the people that knew best.

  @Crunchyroll i’d love to watch this episode but the servers are down 💔 like bro fix ur servers i need to watch this while i eat😭

  @JaroslavJ96626 @animetrends I pay for Crunchyroll, and there are lots of animes that I want to watch that are not available either because of licensing, not in catalog and/or region locked. As some wise man said, piracy exists because it’s a service issue. Some old some new but the point is availability.

  Good 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! No 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

  Now Sony overtakes EA as the worst company for its digital only decision (PlayStation and Crunchyroll in 2028 and the following month respectively)

  Sony basically controlling all of the anime in the West with Crunchyroll and Warner Bros’ constant financial issues will sadly eventually be the end of Toonami.

  Sony is entering the stablecoin race. Sony Bank has received conditional U.S. regulatory approval to launch Connectia Trust, a national trust bank that aims to issue a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin by 2027. The token could power payments for PlayStation games, Crunchyroll, and other Sony digital services, with the goal of reducing transaction fees. However, many gamers are already raising concerns about digital lock-in and ownership of purchased content. Would you use a PlayStation stablecoin?

  @Kat4omo1 @Crunchyroll They don’t seem to be in any hurry to fix it either. 😭 I love the English dub. It’s frustrating there doesn’t seem to be any urgency to fix the errors on their end. I tried going through their official channels to report it, but I know I can’t be the first one who’s done it. 😭

  @Shadowmetlgamer @crunchyroll when your new bullshit store subscription nonsense kicks off and dies like the insanely awful idea it is, this better be what you do or you can kick ******* rocks. You haven't done **** with home media really at all since the merger. Thank god for @Sentaifilmworks

  Benjamin Merrell (@maneatingcow23) reported 54 minutes ago

  Why does @Sony want to get rid of physical media when @Crunchyroll is the only streaming service I use that consistently looks like crap and doesn't buffer properly any time I try to start a new episode? No other service I use works this poorly, and they think they got this?

  Reminder Crunchyroll owned by Sony has been allegedly rumored to be phasing out Physical Manga on their store soon too. At least for "unpopular" work for a bit now. This rumor was circulating before the announcement of Physical Game discs would cease production for PlayStation.

  @nitrons__ Genuinely a shame cuz I’ve actually gotten some good deals from the Crunchyroll Store. I was wondering why it was so gutted lately and now I get why. Worst part is I’m still waiting for the Fire Force s3 Blu Rays, so I’ll probably have to bite on this at some point 💔

  @ShopCrunchyroll @Crunchyroll What a terrible thing to do to anime fans everywhere. Locking your store behind a membership is just greed on another level. This company has become one of the worst things to happen to the anime community. Hope you lose thousands of subscribers over this BS!
