Crunchyroll Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
ito🎸 (@ilikelatinas02) reportedsome of you weirdos dont understand that wed be using crunchyroll if it actually had a good list of animes. its like every other anime isnt on there. netflix and other streaming services arent better. the licensing issues & missing seasons are so annoying.
-
f (@FS3___) reported@yamanakanobody I do pay for Crunchyroll, my country supports artist copyrights! The only problem is that the manga prices are way too high ( is it normal to pay 3600¥ for one chapter?)
-
Manolo 🇧🇷 (@omanoloneto) reported@GodListens777 @m90w09m @Mashiro_yuh Yes, there are cheaper plans in some cases, but they usually come with important limitations — for example, mobile-only access, only one user, and ads. Crunchyroll also has lower-cost options depending on the market. And that actually proves the point: when anime is officially available in Brazil in an accessible way, it is usually much less targeted by piracy. The titles that are most often pirated are usually the ones that are not officially available anywhere in Portuguese. So for many people, the issue is not “I refuse to pay.” It is often “there is no realistic official option in my language.”

KamiKazu13 (@Ki66Kvzu36312) reported@yamanakanobody yes availability is the issue, Crunchyroll is the worst thing to happen to anime in the west. I do not support streaming services that make no effort to catalog and preserve media. I buy physical media, and even that can be a nightmare. Manga translations can also be an issue
-
Dersey (@PotBlocked) reported@Dexerto Sony (Japanese company) lowered the quality of Crunchyroll A LOT, and the other streaming platforms aren't much better. Who's surprised?
-
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.
-
oyakodon (@oyakodon377) reported@SilentHxH @yamanakanobody @JustAniceCat Crunchyroll started illegally, and took advantage of the material accumulated with piracy origins to go corporate. their localization quality was piss poor and they tried to trample much better non-legal localizers by just being the first ones to go legal.
-
Alex🔰 (@2two10one5) reported@bitchbooi @BlakkBile all I want is the crunchyroll version with the simple words like bento and itadakimasu left in japanese. wish they made subtitles like that. problem is everyone has a different definition of what words are “simple” so they might leave too much japanese in and confuse some people
-
Yomotomen (@yomotomen) reported@yamanakanobody It’s a bit mixed, usually piracy is a product of a service issue, here, the anime is restricted to mostly one platform, crunchyroll, which granted, does have some upsides, is an inherently evil company, thus anime is still pirated en masse, even the translations can’t be trusted
-
Turtle Island (@TurtleI86650749) reported@Audbih @AnimexTwts Crunchyroll anime is broken for some episodes you literally have no choice but to go off platform for a service that should be complete. **** subscriptions and the monopolies they hold on the people
-
Noodle (@iloveNoodlez) reported@Crunchyroll The way the link was embedded in the email could've been better. On Android no issues the link opened Ticketmaster but on Apple - it kept opening the Crunchyroll app for my friend so he had a hard time getting around that to buy tickets. Even though he got an email + code lol
-
SHINIKAZE (@kazeshini_69_) reported@RX_9999_2 In my opinion, piracy is mostly a service & pricing issue. Outside of Japan, anime/manga aren't easily accessible, you'd need to have multiple subscriptions to really consume more anime/manga. Sites like Netflix wont even have every season of a show too. Even crunchyroll don't-
-
Potte (@pottetan) reported@Crunchyroll we had to scramble and someone send their link. Hopefully that does not gives issues because of your incompetence.
-
Get a brain (@GetABrain0) reported@toeiamination & @Crunchyroll wtf are you and your team doing,. you dub things and add subs in the "dub" language,.. but your timing on one piece is awful..... the "dub" subs are like 5 to 15 secs off of the show, to what is heard.. do better wtf.. like it has a qc process right?
-
Marcin Chojnacki (@Zankierka) reported@TheFanaticLive @kirawontmiss Also it did not work with 2 VPNs for region change... Which is also against Crunchyroll ToS. As such I found it much more easy to just use site that does allow me to watch whatever I want at the moment. Some old shows are super hard to find online anyway :/
-
ndjnduidw (@hyuhini987) reported> self censor your work to appeal to wider audience > said audience harasses you anyways that's what happens when you work with the devil (crunchyroll)
-
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.
-
ForgeThought (@Forge_Thought) reported@yamanakanobody The problem is this. I watched "Sweetness and Lightning" with my wife years ago. Loved it. Now I want to watch it again, it's not available anywhere. Crunchyroll refused to renew its license. So its not on streaming services. I went to buy the DVD/Blu Ray. But this happens a lot.
-
thomas mango (@Horrormovie317) reported@Ec_supreme @status_is_down Nor my iPhone so y would it just work on one platform and not the other. As long it works on my Xbox then I should be fine with it working there although I would like Crunchyroll to also work on my iPhone since I don’t have a tv in my room nor would I have anywhere to place one.
-
The Goat (@Ec_supreme) reported@Horrormovie317 @status_is_down Delete Crunchyroll then redownload it I had the same issue as you on my iPhone so I deleted it and reinstalled it and now it works perfectly fine I told someone else to delete it and reinstall it and it worked for them
-
Jielhar (@Tozrok) reported@yamanakanobody As Gabe Newell from Valve put it, "piracy is almost always a service problem". Gamers largely buy their videogames from Steam because it's legal and convenient, and many paid for their anime on Crunchyroll when it was a good service. Without a good legal option, we turn to piracy
-
🇺🇸 Erin 🇫🇷 (@Erin_Archambeau) reported@azusa_maxima I've avoided this topic because it seemed toxic as well, but my two cents on the issue is that there are both kinds of people everywhere. Right now, I pay for Crunchyroll (even with my issues for the platform) and buy physical medial when it's available.
-
viperion (@viperio76050352) reported@Stoopbets @Idontexistalr @Dexerto Look who's yapping. Disposable income doesn't mean anything if there's no quality service. And look, that's where America sucks. Do I need to point out just how bad Crunchyroll is to name but one example? At that point even having no service is better than that service.
-
FerntheStoryteller (@Feroftheroad) reported@yamanakanobody It fully depends on the quality of the translation and localization. In the 90s and early 2000s we had 4kids which butchered iconic series like Pokémon. Even today we have crunchyroll which has a new problem every other week
-
OtavioFT0 (@OtavioFT0) reported@yamanakanobody Brazilian here, If there was a decent service with a huge catalog of anime, a decent video player to watch on, and a fair price, I would gladly pay for it. Unfortunately, Crunchyroll is terribly bad, despite being cheap, it has several problems.
-
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
-
Rustle (@teahorses) reported@nanasamib The distribution options for Americans support terrible companies like Crunchyroll who deserve death.
-
bunies (@buniesinfernal) reported@yamanakanobody long as the quality was good and it was not monopolized by one source everyone hates like crunchyroll then then yes most people would pay
-
[Hondunu] (@Hondunu) reported@SeehIsMe Crunchyroll will keep making the service WORSE for everyone. It has massive playback issues from what I've heard. I stopped using it when I found out that they lied about the money going DIRECTLY to the Japanese companies that hire those GREAT animators. It went to HGS.
-
CodingSwede (@CodingSwede) reported@Khirassj @CharmandAznable Problem with Crunchyroll is that their subtitles and dubs are so bad I wouldn't watch it if they paid me 3 dollars per month.
