Crunchyroll Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
hangry 🎉☕‼️ (@Hangryrori) reported@ChibiReviews I'm all for them raising the price of their content, but only if they get to have their own form of digital distribution. Crunchyroll and Netflix are terrible anime experiences that don't care about the user experience, and they can't be trusted with our data.
-
Disfatt Bidge (@DisfattBidge8) reported@Crunchyroll I supported y'all since you weren't licensed. I've payed so much money and always trusted you. The trust is broken y'all sold my info for profit then upped subscription costs. Y'all deserve to pay us all our money back.
-
Legion (@WeAreLegion86) reported@Chimurry_Al @threenotes_jp Right. But if Crunchyroll were smart, they could act as a central "hub" for pirate sites, instead of trying to fight it. I know it's probably more complex than that, but it'd solve the quality/library issues in my mind.
-
Reilly (@ReikiREILLY) reported@tatayoshua @yamanakanobody @brave I will also go further, I hated the transition from funimation to crunchyroll. After funimation was bought by Sony, security became an issue, and my account was hijacked a few times, forcing me to transition with no customer service available.
-
Jonathan Saint Fong (@thegreatestjc) reported@Dexerto Tbh. It is what it is. I would just be happy if people enjoyed my work regardless. I'll still make money. Look at what crunchyroll is charging their users.....who's gonna stay loyal for long? Probably not a lot of people.
-
ImperialStoic (@ImperialStoic) reported@zt5019576939774 I agree. It is morally wrong to pirate. I do wish there was a better way to do it, but overseas partners like Crunchyroll have a lot of control. I wish anime creators to be well paid, and for overseas fans to enjoy their work too.
-
FantasiaProject (@ProjectFantasia) reportedCrunchyroll is a freaking mess! It causes nothing but problems that localizing here in the US can’t do nowadays.
-
Iftekhar Ifty (@Ifty2006) reported@NightWalke72639 @Tipsall001 Theaters cannot be crashed r u okay bro? Also Infinity Castle movies won't crash Crunchyroll since all of them will be theater exclusive for very long time and then before official release majority will pirate so official streaming release won't have much hype
-
Jancho (@JanchoRZ) reported@LoremIpsumVerb I’m German, but I usually use English subtitles. Anyway, at least this isn’t the worst mistake Crunchyroll has made.
-
Mary Alana (@maryag) reported@CCTakato @Crunchyroll I more talking about putting it in theaters. They could easily put it on streaming, but a theatrical... the name would be an issue for Sony itself
-
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
-
Leungfish (@GLeungfish) reported@InfamousLooney @Crunchyroll Same issue here!!
-
The Archivist (@Archive_Knarl) reported@AcSK1LLies In the long run Vic won, he still voice acts, still gets accepted at conventions that aren’t the big name cons, acts in live action stuff. While Funimation died, crunchyroll took over, fired a majority of the funimation people, and now Monica and her ilk barely get work
-
Drag🇩🇪🇮🇱🇺🇦 (@Drag007_) reported@GyaruGlow A website without data issues please. Crunchyroll has most anime on the market but it sucks ;-; Steals and sells data, data breaches, censorship etc ;-;
-
Byokko (@Kelphumin) reported@FumiHawk That is wrong The biggest prove is Crunchyroll and Mangadex Also, Someone consuming something and not paying the creator is not difference financially from someone who doesnt know about the work and doesnt pay the creator. you underestimate the "word of mouth"
-
Koustav Pramanik (@Stryfe98) reportedSo you're saying censorship, bad localisation, lack of availability, absurd pricing, bad or buggy crunchyroll UI, and unwillingness to hear customer feedback aren't the problem? Are you sure foreigners are the ones who are brainwashed, and not you?
-
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
-
HoundRyS (@HoundofHope) reported@sasori_yokuneru @cheekysnowfox Crunchyroll used to be a pirate group, then they went "legit" but they started abusing the trust of the people that followed them. Netflix has issues but I prefer them to Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll also robs creators from their merchandise rights overseas which is important funds.
-
Sertesh Sardrakal (@sertesh) reported@kazakura_22 Your best bet is to cut off overseas distribution and run overseas distribution through domestic distributors preferably like a hybrid of steam and crunchyroll. As long as they avoid the problems plaguing crunchyroll. Piracy would decline.
-
Revy the Tiefling (@WeebyRevy) reported@SaGa_NeilB We're already seeing JP game companies like Capcom pre-censor themselves just to avoid problems with the west. Anime already doesn't have all the fun, random ***** shots and the like anymore as it gets bigger in the west. Censor-heavy companies like Crunchyroll already stopped licensing ***** shows so they get pushed into smaller, niche streaming services like Hidive. Even at the studio level, one of the girls in Dandadan got covered up in a different outfit from the manga just to avoid problems with the west...
-
Hikikomoron (@StrawHatHiki) reported@whysolim @GrailofMud in my case for any sort of pirating it's always been because of money problems, but in anime as a whole, let's be real a good chunk of them you can't even watch officially or have to pay for W ai subtitles from crunchyroll #wegood but I am buying all gachi vols regardless anyway
-
The King Capricorn🥱 (@Hessiah__) reportedIm really enjoying the Witch Hat Atelier dub but its a little hard to hear what they’re saying… everyone talks pretty low compared to the rest of the audio so it almost sounds like whispering. This wouldn’t be an issue if crunchyroll had subtitles on dubbed episodes…
-
Miros (@Miros_Amon) reported@MadamLaconic @MadamSavvy "rest of your point doesn't matter" it absolutely does. the complaint is Crunchyroll treating SUBS like dubs by removing honorifics that defeats the purpose of having subs vs dubs as separate options you're deflecting from the actual issue
-
𝔫𝔦𝔠𝔬 (@moritetakayan) reported@Crunchyroll if someone has an extra presale code PLS help
-
SUPER7X (@_SUPER7X) reported@ryuseihashida HIDIVE localielizes things when they feel like it just like Crunchyroll, so you can only wait and see. Could be fine, could be terrible.
-
Alexander (@Hassaibi82599) reported@p9cker_girl Imagine paying for Crunchyroll, they were a piracy site first, the worst of the worst. Anime fansubbing was done by groups of people working tirelessly on bringing out episodes for everyone, and they would just remove the credits and add their own.
-
CEO Of Carlotta - 💎♦️ (@CEOOfCarlotta) reportedMany anime studios are losing money due to crunchyroll being absolutely awful to use. Not only is it just a bad site, they constantly lose rights to shows, and have data breaches every 6 months. Causing many people to go to less profitable sites or to just turn to piracy.
-
strajk- (@strajk_) reported@Dexerto Who should I believe? A random author, or several market studies that followed after the massive success of services such as Steam, Netflix and Crunchyroll? Piracy is a service issue, piracy was at an all time low for that reason, only price hikes and bad service brought it back.
-
strajk- (@strajk_) reported@XperiARM @andipyon How do I pay the creator if the publisher won't sell it to me? Piracy is a service issue, look at Crunchyroll, Mangadex, Netflix and Steam, thanks to those platforms piracy has decreased, Crunchyroll and Mangadex in particular were initially pirate websites that became commercial

AmiKyuT/Ami Laxamana (@KyuT_Ami) reported@Hatsuu I think you work with @Crunchyroll and @BangZoom for more anime projects
