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.

  @ChibiReviews Doesn't help when Crunchyroll bought out Rightstuff, ALL and I mean ALL of the prior Gundam Blu Ray releases were just thrown out the window and never re-printed via Crunchyroll. Will never forgive them for that.

  @makiirols This didn't used to be a problem when the people doing the subtitles were fans who actually cared. Now it's corporations like Crunchyroll and y'all refuse to pirate all of their shows so you get what you deserve.

  It has been 2 weeks.. However, the issue hasn't been resolved w.r.t forceful logout of our devices.. It asks for login everytime. @Crunchyroll you should guys invest on technical team instead of spending on advertising

  @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.

  The problem stems more with the fact that Sony purchased Funimation, The RightStuf and Crunchyroll, merged them all into one company, and did everything they could to make anime LESS accessible.

  Crunchyroll has become a terrible app simply because it’s money hungry.

  @JoeLongBalls The video is just ripped from crunchyroll, the program sources the videos from a piracy site. That being said, ani-cli is *** and doesn't work half the time, and torrenting is infinitely superior.

  NO DISC 💿 NO BUY welcomes ALL GAMERS! Only together can we make our voices heard! We have to keep shouting what this movement is about: CONSUMER RIGHTS - We should be able the buy any game we want, physical or digital! We DO NOT want that option taken away from us! WE WANT TO OWN WHAT WE BUY! - We work hard for our money and its unacceptable that we have to worry about games, films, and anime being ripped away from us because of licence issues or if a live service ends. We DO NOT want an all digital monopoly controlled by SONY. We want competition! We want a thriving 2nd hand market that keeps the industry healthy! We WANT SONY to guve us the respect we deserve and address our concerns! How do we fight? I'll show you: SPEAK DIRECTLY TO PLAYSTATION ON X- Never let them forget that we want PHYSICAL GAMES and that their anti-consumer shenanigans will not be tolerated! CANCEL PlayStation Plus CANCEL CRUNCHYROLL - owned by Sony and they are trying to limit the physical release of anime! DON'T BUY GTA6- why waste $100 on an empty box? NO MORE DIGITAL or NEW PLAYSTATION GAMES - support your local used game store and buy used physical & retro!!! UNTIL Sony reverses course, our PlayStation 5s are closed for business. NO DISC 💿 NO BUY, MAKE SONY CRY

  @LeanaLovings It's awful too cause you're a fan of a series and you want to own the dvds then Crunchyroll was one of the few companies that officially licensed blu-rays (which is what Japan typically produced and those sales determined if a new season got made). But now it's basically impossible to collect dvds unless you're importing them with no subs and off a secondary market. When Funimation ended it was signaled the monopoly Crunchyroll has in the western anime market. We don't get to own anything anymore sadly

  @doncroiix Sigh, the issue is he was comparing what movies kini kan was doing to what crunchyroll was doing. Did you see the initial post?

  @autopilotgod And I do think it's a rarity when you got a platform that doesn't promote crap that butchers everything it touches Plus Crunchyroll has the worst track record known to mankind. It's funny how you treat my words like gospel but truthfully I'm a nobody. 😐

  Sony might be selling off assets a little bit at a time. Starting with licensing acquisitions, physical anime on their store they probably don’t think sells. scaling back. It’s a pretty awful move. They did recently sell their tv division to Chinese company TCL. #Crunchyroll
