Crunchyroll Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  Crunchyroll is moving its entire online store behind a paywall starting in August. The current Fan tier costs $9.99 a month and gets full access to the anime library. To keep shopping the store the way people do now, buying figures, Blu-rays, apparel, manga volumes, that same subscriber will need to upgrade to Mega Fan at $13.99 a month or Ultimate Fan at $17.99. The company has since walked the framing back slightly. Fan tier subscribers will still be able to browse the store, Crunchyroll told press this week. What’s actually locked behind Mega and Ultimate is the new “curated experience,” described in Crunchyroll’s own announcement as convention-exclusive collectibles and limited-release drops. The practical effect for most shoppers is the same: the merch people actually want increasingly lives behind the higher tiers. The timing compounds the problem. Selected purchases became final sale as of July 13, with refunds and returns no longer accepted except for damaged items. Crunchyroll Store gift cards stop working entirely after August 14. This lands on a storefront that absorbed Right Stuf, a specialist anime retailer Sony acquired and folded into Crunchyroll in 2023, removing a standalone option from the market in the process. Crunchyroll is owned by Sony, and this store change arrives while Sony faces separate backlash over discontinuing PS5 disc production. Two different Sony-owned storefronts, in the same window, both moving customers away from straightforward one-time purchases and toward tiered, recurring payment structures.

  @MADkurious @Seramurai_ @afistfulofteeth Finally, you speak. They are already canceling discs, honey. Giving them more money and rewarding them for anti-consumer practices does not help us at all. It's the opposite, in fact. Why are you more concerned about Sony employees going out of a job and not video game retailers? Ending physical discs will hurt them too. Or do you not care? Or did you forget? I'm also curious if you support what Sony is doing with Crunchyroll. Are you ok with them limiting the physical release of anime and locking it behind an ever growing digital paywall? I can't wait to find out if you answer or hide.

  The problem is IP law. It’s basically a monopoly grant. This is how you end up with **** companies like Crunchyroll being the only outlet for watching these things.

  @IGN Crunchyroll is owned by Sony who also owns Playstation. Makes sense because they are the worst company on the planet atm

  I’m sorry, but the internet is too vast and advanced to be paying for streaming services in 2026 If you unironically use Crunchyroll in this and age, seek help

  @PhysicReleases Buy from stores that aren't crunchyroll problem solved. Why do Americans always stick to 1 store???

  @MattTMage Crunchyroll doesn't care about preserving the original art, and they definitely don't care about the fans. Their history of heavy-handed censorship and terrible pay for translators predates Sony by years.

  @peaceundelta @Taro_of_Agartha It's somehow the worst of both worlds, making Linux look like you need sudo commands to watch Crunchyroll to normies and making Linux seem like poseur-hacker **** to people who actually like that kind of thing.

  @MangaAlerts Crunchyroll: "We might be bleeding out money and frozen out because we killed two pirate sites despite being one....But we're still alive and charging you more!" >8D "You'll never be rid of us!" Cancel. Everyone cancel your subscription and help people rebuild the pirated sites.
