✨Tamikadraws ✨🏳️⚧️🇬🇧🇿🇼🔞 (@Tamikadraws) reportedI'm gonna go out on a limb and assume crunchyroll is likely never gonna hire her again cos it's more trouble than it's worth lol. Sad to see.. Nadolny was definitely one of my favourite VAs.
-
Markus Kern (@Taikoku79) reported@Crunchyroll A new season and a new video player with hadsubs, which for me as a Japanese learner is worst case scenario, thx for nothing. Sub cancelled after many years supporting your service even though everyone was complaining about you.
-
Jet (@Jetchuu) reported@Crunchyroll Fix the damn subtitles. You all hold a very important role in exposure for the show to the a large proportion of the masses, and bad subtitles aside from the obvious will prevent the proper immersion that is so important.
-
RainGamma (@RainGamma) reported@Crunchyroll peak zero now fix the subtitles
-
Orbit 🪐 (@LuveInOrbit) reported@KirePerona It was a great episode i loved the art and lighting. Crunchyroll messed the subtitles up sometimes though. Like Anastasia saying there is a person “in this city” doesn’t make any sense at all. Why would Shaula be in the city 😭. i hope they fix it I heard it’s also in the dub

Chibi Reviews (@ChibiReviews) reportedBREAKING NEWS: Upon researching the situation, I have confirmed Crunchyroll is indeed strangling Muse Asia. For those that need an explanation on what this means. Now there's markets Crunchyroll doesn't cover that Muse Asia covers, but judging by what my Insider told me, they are likely trying to shift their business into the SEA area of the world soon. They are forcing anime on Muse Asia's YouTube platform to have delayed releases by Time Exclusivity. Most people that know of them use their YouTube channel, especially American's with VPNs. So the time exclusivity is a tactic to weaken them and make Crunchyroll's releases the only way to watch for two weeks before Muse Asia releases their verison. Muse Asia is an official company that translates anime with English Subtitles for people can watch for free. Their subtitling work is impressive and leagues beyond CR's. When Re:Zero Season 3 was airing for example, the comparisons between Muse's and CR's was happening weekly. It was outright embarrassing how bad Crunchyroll's subtitles were in comparison. So fast-forward to right now and its clear as day what is happening. First off Crunchyroll is gaining a larger monopoly by the year and taking over the Western Market slowly but surely. Muse Asia is a threat to them especially if they are indeed moving into the SEA market for their business. Factor in that Muse Asia offers anime for free legally. That doesn't sit right with a monolithic company as Crunchyroll owned by Sony if they are moving into that territory Now we get into the issue right now. Multiple big titles like Re:Zero, Classroom of the Elite, and Reincarnated as a Slime are being delayed on Muse Asia's platform by two weeks. This means in those two weeks, everyone will be forced to watch Crunchyroll's version that is paid for. Even if the subtitling work is inferior you can't make a comparison until two weeks have passed. By that time nobody will likely be watching it on Muse Asia's platform to begin with. They are selectively making sure big titles are ripped from them for Muse Asia gets strangled out of the market and viewship. If this isn't a clear case of aggressive tactics to control the market, then I don't know what else could classify as it.

JJOTIZ (@JJotiz125) reported@Crunchyroll Please fix the subs
-
TheOnlyWay (@lAmTheWay) reported@ElroidTiereon Yeah but its an entirely different market, I don't really wanna defend crunchyroll since they have a lot of issues but mass translation, especially same day as weekly releases is tough. They have to translate like 30+ eps a week vs a fan who does whatever they want.
-
Remedy (@WolfyDogny) reported@Crunchyroll I already ended my Crunchyroll account, I'm going to watch it in "other ways" just to not give you one cent. Crunchyroll subtitles is a piece of ****, and their staff around the world are terrible, they don't vare about anime and this culture
-
MEXdave Gaming (@MEXdave_gaming) reportedI know some of y’all are slow, but damn. This is how ALL streaming platforms work, not just Crunchyroll. It’s how they manage content licenses for all areas, and make sure that they don’t show in places where they don’t have the necessary licenses. Come on, this isn’t hard.
-
Jestan Diams (@JestanDiams) reportedHearing that Crunchyroll is blocked in Japan because wokies who work there know they'd get the licenses for the anime they "translate" (read: butcher and vandalize) revoked and cost them their jobs as me worried for any potential English airing of the Suikoden anime.
-
Ethan | Christ is King (@Ethan_Pyro) reported@linkasobi Do we have a program that can play custom/patched subs on Crunchyroll yet? I know how to do the other options but it'd be more convenient if we could just do it without needing to download files Yomi no Tsugai has some annoying problems too
-
𝖘𝖍𝖆𝖉𝖔𝖜 (@fiatovershadow) reported@cat_maxxxed @cryptokillua99 crunchyroll is so *** worst website of all time they don’t have anything either no way you pay for that slop
-
TheArandui (@TheArandui) reported@AllbonesJones Steam also has the same problems with geo-blocking and forcing censoreship like Crunchyroll. Very bad example.
-
billyhatcher643 horse girl vtuber debut soon (@billyhatcher643) reported@ToonHive crunchyroll is the worst shittiest site on the planet sony shoulda kept funimation **** sony for doing this crunchyroll is getting sued into oblivion due to their retardation of how they handle data
-
Ar Zar (@pahkevalu38862) reported@ChibiReviews Whoever still uses Crunchyroll, especially now, are part of the problem
-
NearReplicated (@Wahnsinn100) reported@SethC1995 The problem is more-so consistency, Previous seasons on crunchyroll had Honorifics and dropping it ONLY NOW is weird and inconsistent, either have it since the start or don't.
-
Anna-Serena Lee (@s_anlee) reported@ra1nrei Which episode is this scenefrom? Isn't from ep 8 right? Is it from uncut version than crunchyroll I don't remember seeing the 1st screenshot scene between ep 7-8. Help
-
RoaringWall ✈️🇺🇸🐾 (@RoaringWall) reportedIn retrospect, the merger between Crunchyroll and Funimation was a big mistake! It has given Sony more of a monopoly of the anime industry and it has spiral downwards with all their controversies over the years!!! The worst part, even if you start your own anime streaming service, it’ll be impossible to even get licensing for big name anime since Sony has the monopoly over that! Especially with their translation team, who has been changing the wording on anime, that sounds like texting is now the new language when speaking! Never had I heard the word “chud” or anything like than in a normal conversation!
-
Dugna (@PDugna) reported@p9cker_girl Muse does good, especially the one who is works on RZ, friendly also. Wouldn't be surprised if Crunchyroll pushed for things or if Kadokawa wanted to make their deal with CR work better by delaying every other source. the first place a show airs nets way more traffic afterall
-
Annabelle 💝 (@Annabelle_UwU) reported@AllbonesJones Steam works because it's popular globally so there are no problems with accessibility. Anime doesn't work that way because Crunchyroll is mostly relegated to Americas while Asia has other sites like BilliBilli and/or Muse. There's no single global platform that's like Steam.
-
㊝Kakarotto㊝ (@SebastinPortals) reported@JimmyHL_ What really happened was that Crunchyroll offered TurtleMe better studios, but he chose A-Cat and ignored the others. I understand they told him they had read the work and knew how to do it well, and so it ended up like that. So TurtleMe
-
April Carpenter (@AMCApril) reported@AnimexTwts Oh, that’s interesting the app went down after they took the people from Funimation and made them work for Crunchyroll since Sony owns the app and they shut down Funimation so they move them over and a lot of those people are nutty
-
2kzerks (@2kzerks) reported@LoremIpsumVerb The day Crunchyroll gets karma for the abysmal quality they put out is the day I rejoice.
-
nick12 (@nikc_12) reported@LifeformDigi True but not really a crunchyroll or "antimale dub" issue, its an industry issue. Its not like CR can legally stream stuff in japan if the IP owners wont sell them the rights. Most people would agree geoblocking is dumb, but so is conflating issues and blaming the wrong entity
-
lavienoire (@lavien0ire007) reported@VeteranAnon @MustacheDLuffy @seriouslyjokinn But absolutely didn't work with seasonal anime outside Japan like it works today and people trying to be "hip" or whatever. Crunchyroll/Netflix weren't a thing, it was all piracy
