Crunchyoll has been buggy as hell for a while now; pirating is the way to go nowadays

always has been lol

When they put their new player it was great for awhile but the last few months man has it gone downhill that's not even counting them shutting down rightstuf which pissed me off now I got to buy everything from Amazon

I remember using Crunchyroll 3 years ago, I really had a bad experience, shame to see it hasn't ever improved. Always buffering issues smh. Pirate watching anime is the way to go cuz you can find all kinds of anime you want instead of parts and region locked ones.

aniwave.to and Chromecast on my Android TV ftw

i remember being vicerally angry i couldnt play dub with subtitles. like your a paid service. how are you the same as the sketchy bootleg sites?

u/Blue-Thunder avatar

Because they originally were a sketchy bootleg site?

They are worse. I swear they have shows show up ad suggested in the search bar then not be in the actual search results.

Same

Was rewatching re:zero a few years ago and realized all gore was censored on crunchyroll version. What a regard I feel like, paying to be treated like a fucking child. Dropped my sub, never bothered again.

Unfortunately most of the time that's just the broadcast version being censored for incentive to buy the blue ray but still annoying you can thank the Karen's that ran the broadcasting regulations in the 90's for that

nah the first one aired was the censored one and it took few yrs to launch bluray version and only the bluray version has the uncensored one (this applies to most anime [not all] especially ecchi ones) only pirates update their site (may vary depending on site) since the legal ones aren't legally allowed to upload bluray content or else the bluray disk wont sell at all.

Aniwave is pretty good, aaaarg.

It's on my list

I think so too but can i use anywhere without vpn beacuse i am going to italy next month i wont download not torrent so that is whyi am interested

I'm not sure about international laws, but I use it in the US without a VPN, technically you're not breaking the law, just watching videos. But it's also easy to get a free VPN.

Any aniwave downloader that ya know of?

nyaa si

u/Administrative-Air73 avatar

Ah thats a torrent site, I work with scripts to automatically rip from various services to redirect to a server; can't do that with torrents due to unreliable configurations, meta data, and download times. After a show has finished airing I simply scrape from other locations, or physical media if I want higher quality.

I mean I never had any trouble with blurry video on crunchyroll but I‘m also setting up plex on my homeserver cuz why not

Not so much blurry but like glitchy picture quality

More replies

I pay 0$ for the same

u/ImportantCheck6236 avatar

10$ dollars??!! Damn in Pakistan Crunchyroll premium costs like 250 Pkr which isnt even a dollar 😂... Hell the annual cr package is 2500/2200Pkr which is still less than a fucking 10 Dollar. Even netflix premium costs less than that and has a decent catalogue of Anime...

Regional pricing in America they charge a butt ton of money Netflix premium with HD is nearly $20 a month now same with hulu

u/Dull-Ad8329 avatar

Even though it's cheap here I still won't buy it I have been spoiled by the torrent quality I can't go back now😜

u/ImportantCheck6236 avatar

I thought crunchyroll has the best quality but ofc torrents have the same quality.

Nah ah, you can get bluray from torrents

Never had a blurry video. I do get mislabeled seasons which is really embarrassing for them

They're generally a mess but unfortunately most streaming sites are held together by duct tape and a prayer

For the past year I've been watching crunchyroll free. I don't know how since I haven't paid for it at all. My account just has premium. Ever since the VRV merger.

it's like as if legitimate services want you to go turn to piracy instead

u/Over-Writer6076 avatar

That legitimate service was once a piracy website too😂😂😂. That's what makes this funny,cuz they should know better,of all streaming services out there

No one here would gaslight you about it. AnimePiracy and Crunchyroll are in opposite direction now(maybe since some years ago)

I'm just talking about in general I've had a bunch of bagdahd bobs telling me there's nothing wrong with crunchyroll

I tried their sub for a month to see what it was like. The fact there was very limited dubbed (I watch a lot of tv during work) for myself and so. I'll watch subbed as that's what I grew up on. But the fact that I have 27tb if free space makes it unjustifiable. So fuck their subscription fees

u/std5050 avatar

that's a crazy amount of free space to just be having around lol

It took them years to switch their video player from Flash to HTML5, and their support is so stupid, I used to pay for it but trying to use Crunchyroll is torture.

use a VPN, your video will clear up immediately

Was trying to watch JJK and got some bullshit DRM error about device limit bug, even though I was only trying to watch on a single device. I tried troubleshooting it for literally an hour until I gave up and watched it on a pirate stream with literally 0 hassle. Why was I paying a sub at all?? Canceled so fucking fast right after.

u/Cute-Abalone4500 avatar

I saw Spy Family was on Netflix (1 season, like most of their anime in the UK) so thought I'd do a rewatch. Made it about six episodes before I realised that they weren't subtitling most of the on screen text. Clown show. Pirates doing a better job than billionaire companies. See also Komi Can't Communicate, which was cut (I just edited this because I originally wrote "cute off") off at the knees on Netflix.

Now Crunchyroll, I used to be a Premium but the app on Nvidia Shield (and I assume all Android) flat out wouldn't work during peak times. I would happily, no reservations, pay for Crunchyroll if I could actually watch what I want, when I want but struggling, scrappy owner Sony is obviously having difficulty keeping all the balls in the air while all that cash piles up, getting in the way.

u/QuacksterBoi- avatar

Never really had any issues with Crunchyroll besides not having shows I want to watch. That's when I go to the seas. Although, their pricing is getting up there.

I mean you could use a vpn go to to turk and pay 11 dollars for the yearly mega fan

Weird, after long time of million bugs, last year crunchyroll really works for me.

Just pay for the service and pirate it elsewhere for better quality, Sony gotta step it up

u/MusicTester avatar

I get to many ads on that site so I use aniwatch now it's better

Honestly I just hate it because they barely have any anime on there, so much is missing that I want to watch that isn't available in my country like Steins;Gate and Fullmetal Alchemist... I only use it bc it has a chromecast feature built in :/

u/Heron_sniffa avatar

crunchyroll is gross

Change your way and buy a lifetime mega fan subscribtion for only 20$

Account is made on your mail with your pass and will last a lifetime (warranty)

Satisfied or refounded

u/Madaniel_FL avatar

I’ve been using it for the past 3 years now and Ive never gotten a blurry video…

What is shill ?

Someone who's completely ride or die for a corporation and gets upset every time you call said corporation outbon it's BS

Ok then, I guess I’m getting paid to speak the truth about my personal experience, how nice that seems…
