Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Glov (@xgoglov) reported@Geo_AW Crunchyroll is gabrage. Regional locked shows, lack of shows in general, forced sub/dubs, terrible service so on and so on. Just stick to one piece bro
-
SpankySenpai (@Spanky_Senpai) reported@B_Rabbit843 Crunchyroll caused significant problems to both producers and viewers for years until they recently became slightly above ****. I’m assuming you don’t know that because you started watching in 2020, stay in your lane retard.
-
Chris St.Germain (@KanekiSno_) reported@OneEyedSoloKing @AnimexTwts God you are stupid as ****. Crunchyroll is literally the most used platform right now for all the anime studios streaming platform. Crunchyroll is the main hub for anime studios to release their shows on. However it becomes an issue with licensing because of yall
-
Royal_Stray (@StrayRoyal) reported@B_Rabbit843 If people want to use Crunchyroll that's perfectly fine obviously. However that doesn't mean that we should pretend there aren't any issues with it. It doesn't mean we shouldn't aim for a better standard or companies who genuinely care to deliver the best product possible.

Kira 🚀 (@NukeDST) reported@boysaremoe I don't like Sony's bastardization of Anime with crunchyroll. I didn't like Microsoft's butchering of Minecraft. My Stadia controllers don't work with Fortnite and are old/unsupported. I also hate switching to my wireless keyboard/trackpad. I need a trackpad on my controller.

Ansh Sharma (@AnshSharma88988) reported@EeHyp839873 @AnimexTwts Man crunchyroll doesn’t even have all the anime there are out there that is the bigger problem
-
Sandwich 🥪 (Dragomir) (@GrapheneWaffles) reported@SenpaiSchmeki @goldkills @Crunchyroll No problem. It hit me as such a surprise I had to go and check for myself. I had commented about the flub thinking nothing would ever happen, but I guess having a flub like that in the first 3 minutes of the first episode was too embarrassing. Gives me hope they might fix more.
-
Rikai (@ImRikai) reported@DlerAccount You see, the real issue is that most anime is not available on streaming platforms, specially since the licenses are per-region, so pirating is just the only option for a lot of people. I paid for Crunchyroll before, but everything I wanted to watch wasn't available so I left.
-
NightHawk0954 🇩🇿☪️ (@NightHawk0954_) reported@Moemilitaryfan6 Worst part is that its not from Crunchyroll sending their hitman but because their servers literally burned down.
-
㊝Kakarotto㊝ (@SebastinPortals) reported@YourStarOnFlag Of course not, breaking the internet isn't what you see these days, breaking the internet is what Dragon Ball Super did, (the one and only so far) These days they tell you that like 20 anime series broke the internet by taking down Crunchyroll, when Crunchyroll's servers are crap.
-
Zensky (@Zensky026) reported@lovebreaddd Imagine spending money on crunchyroll in 2026,,,, such a god awful service, even worse than netflix tbh
-
ALEX (@Ay_See1003) reported@onepirateking1 Watching Crunchyroll now. I don't see the problem people have with Crunchyroll 🤷
-
BadAxeGinger (@BadAxeGinger) reportedI can't even make it through the first episode of Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle. This is the worst localization I've ever seen in my 25+ years of watching anime. I'll just read the light novel. Another anime ruined by Crunchyroll
-
Ancientswords (@Ancientswords) reported@Geo_AW Crunchyroll is such a terrible platform tho. Idk how we tolerate that ****. Wish we had better ways of supporting the creators. I sub to crunchyroll, but rarely watch there just because it is absolute ****
-
Hannah Jones (@HanzaJ103) reported@DanielVanThomas @Crunchyroll I think after & I quote “He is so vexing” I believe so! You said it with such irritation with a hint of “I think I like him” I also couldn’t help but giggle at “intimately so” line! 🙈 These cuties are meant to be!! My goodness I am SO enjoying watching this again Dub!! 🥰
-
Kyro Sora (@GameMasterKyro) reported@BE_Waymire @Kazuya_Ark @alphafluxx_ Crunchyroll terminated the global servers because it "wasn't making enough money". Because they don't understand mobile game spending cycles. It's how every Crunchyroll game ends up, no matter how profitable.
-
Adeno Sine (@Adenoman) reported@ChibiReviews I'm NEVER subscribing to Crunchyroll. It's not worth the identity theft issues.
-
. (@bhalu___) reported@Crunchyroll for god sake give us back old manual video quality settings, current one is full of **** video quality changes every second and it jitters continuously. WTF
-
EMP 🖤 (@BloodMagicSpell) reportedCrunchyroll been moving like King Von lately I'm not buying the whole "it's just a coincidence that AnimeKai servers burnt down" skit
-
Spanzx (@urcheapo0o) reported@onepirateking1 To all anime web makers out there. Stay strong and keep retaliate harder by making more webs. Also, **** crunchyroll. Worst web I’ve ever used.
-
Az_Raz_Mataz (@StygiScream) reportedHey, @Crunchyroll why are your servers so ****?
-
The Otaku Disney Nerd (@theDisneynerd71) reported@NintendoAmerica Just curious as of why Crunchyroll, twitch, and YouTube doesn’t work on the switch 2
-
stubby (@stubbyfps) reportedpeople say this forgetting that crunchyroll took away comments, in 3 months you are paying their overpriced prices, ai generate subtitles (just gets them wrong at times), and has awful selection (Bleach nor Baki is on CR) Cost aside, crunchyroll sucks with crap selection.
-
Aditya Chaudhary (@userAdityaa) reported@Itstheanurag @Crunchyroll crunchyroll is one of the worst platform to watch anime from, not even lying. Try animekai.

Rob Pereyda (@rpereyda) reportedWhen everyone moves in one direction, look the other way. Not to be contrarian — but because “market consensus” is often just a fancy term for the status quo. In 2008, I was told I’d “ruin my career” if I joined Crunchyroll. The company had just closed its Series A, but no one in the industry took them seriously. Anyone with “real” licensing experience wanted nothing to do with them. I joined anyway. Five days after my first call with the founders, I was on a plane to Japan. While the rest of the industry played it safe, I built the foundation of anime in the West: • The first anime SVOD model — from scratch. • Revshare formulas that gave licensors real upside for the first time. • The first 60 licensing deals that proved it could scale. This alignment is what made the platform work. It’s what turned a “career-ending move” into Sony’s $1.2B acquisition. Don’t just follow deal flow. Find the gaps where everyone else is afraid to go. That’s where the real opportunities hide.

Mr. Clean (@YourBestWaifu1) reported@bcorrdepc @JanchoRZ @Crunchyroll they did fix one in the first episode
-
angel mora (@angelmo42723814) reported@SpringTeaLeaves @JamiesAct They have already had previous collaborations with Crunchyroll (this is not the first time), apart from being a collaboration available to all users. They are trying to see a problem for something that generates nothing...
-
Josh Gojidile (@DrummerGoji) reported@milkynoe God I wish crunchyroll wasn’t blocked at work 🥲
-
Kolton (@Kole4560) reported@Crunchyroll A big ole nothung burger, literally got no response from an actual reprenstive about the issue. Instead your so fixated in taking down websites you are neglatcing your actual consumers and this is gonna come back and bite you. Me personally im done with this serivce forever

NETFLIX releases every Saturday at 3PM EST....May 9th (today) is 1160 CRUNCHYROLL is May 10th? At 12PM?
