Crunchyroll Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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
-
Wintersong Games (@WintersongGames) reported@Khirassj @CharmandAznable Crunchyroll: Doesn't have a working search feature They forget to add anime to lists so they're not searchable, period Steals fansubs Misspent funds then tried to hide it with a truly terrible show Doesn't pay the creators Why ******** would I pay for Crunchyroll?
-
Sion (@SionForgeblast) reported@Marte_Aleks I mean only because the alternative is Crunchyroll.... and their service is about the worst possible thing you can think of
-
Potte (@pottetan) reported@Crunchyroll we had to scramble and someone send their link. Hopefully that does not gives issues because of your incompetence.
-
ayydinn (@ayydinnobs) reported@yamanakanobody streaming service with better catalogue and subs than Crunchyroll would work or a steam like to buy/rent movies tho I doubt renting each anime episode would work
-
YaNATO (@RomNace) reported@Tomoejp1236 I think that, with some initial support from the government while the service is in its infancy, an “Anime Steam” could be profitable very soon. The real problem I see is the licensing of the anime. (You can’t have the Netflix and Crunchyroll stealing the deals).
-
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…
-
strajk- (@strajk_) reported@YUIKO00 I agree with you that piracy is theft, every pirate agrees with that too, you however need to also understand that piracy is a service issue, if a good service is provided that act naturally decreases, see Steam, Netflix and Crunchyroll, which contributed the most for anti piracy
-
Justis Hicks (@HicksJustis) reported@animeupdates Im preachin to the quire, I know we know this and corporate dont. Its just so amazing that thry try to find ways to fix this with"experts"when all it is atleast for crunchyroll, bring back comment section,be serious in preserving anime and not removing them,better translatlations
-
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?
-
Loner (@catwonderer) reported@TaelArts Get manga publishers to actually invest in a good translation/localization team whilist making acess to said work convenient and affordable and you'll see piracy for this sort of media drop, alas we're dependent on Crunchyroll for a lot of stuff and I'm not paying them a cent.
-
Rock Steadfastson (@bugler) reported@mika_nj @sylvvseur Crunchyroll sort of had this.. they had an app for mangas for specific titles that were official. The app was kind of terrible though.
-
kaneki (@kaneki_ed) reported@wahaladey23 @AnimexTwts the problem with crunchyroll is they don’t have a wide catalog have leaked users data and can’t even use good captions
-
AmiKyuT/Ami Laxamana (@KyuT_Ami) reported@Hatsuu I think you work with @Crunchyroll and @BangZoom for more anime projects
-
kvothe (@83434df) reported@Japaota2025 @Mashiro_yuh Some of the anime sites did it, Crunchyroll was a piracy site before, Funimation too but Crunchyroll bought it just to eliminate competition and in manga there's mangadex who was a piracy site and is the process to become legal but the problem with all of them is that when they+
-
I hate you all (@SLupine6818) reportedCrunchyroll needs to be broken up like wtf..
-
Double Cheeseburger (@DblCheeseburger) reported@RX_9999_2 Why is there no platform similar to crunchyroll for jump to post their manga on so foreigners can go there and read it legally? Again this is a service problem. People will pay a fee monthly to consume content legally if the service is convenient and good quality.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
ZinkoPezo (@siko_pezo) reported@yamanakanobody I watch illegal, Buy legal if I like it, **** Crunchyroll it sucks. Most legal ways pale in comparison to the liberty, quality and quantity of the illegal sites
-
Royal_Stray (@StrayRoyal) reported@Mashiro_yuh Crunchyroll is a company many people lost respect for, not only because of their awful translations that are done on purpose. But also because staff was reported openly talking down about otaku and anime in general, saying some pretty cruel things about people using Crunchyroll
-
THM_T🌻 (@THM_T17) reported@yamanakanobody I was always willing to pay for good translations The problem is there are no good translations these days crunchyroll killed them all. I honestly miss the days of fan subs that was 20 plus years ago
-
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.
-
BadRedMan (@Milquetoast4u) reported@yamanakanobody I would certainly pay. I currently pay for Crunchyroll, but it's awful. I want something better.
-
Doctor D0M3 (@Doctor_D0M3) reportedThe problem is that people always have the option to cancel but choose not to because of FOMO, I just dropped Gamepass entirely and PS Plus from Premium to Essential, use my friend's CrunchyRoll, Amazon, and Netflix and still plan to cut subscriptions without resorting to piracy
-
Ice❄️ (@IceGamer495) reported@bob_mcblob @JanchoRZ @Crunchyroll What we got from someone on the production team they will fix anything for future episodes before airing but we don’t know if they ever gonna fix ep 1 ever also season 3 errors were fixed in dub
-
Miros (@Miros_Amon) reported@minamonomomiji @kutsuzawa55 Buying legally outside Japan is a mess Sites like Crunchyroll don't pay jp creators fairly, censor content, and have translations so bad even basic Japanese speakers spot the errors For manga is even worse, legal sources have the same issues as above plus they're months behind
-
SHINIKAZE (@kazeshini_69_) reported@Killjoy3879 @TheNCSmaster That's the problem right there, when Crunchyroll is usually one of the only options 😭
-
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.
