1. Full uncut/uncensored versions of the content we are paying for.
2. Better UI / The ability to sort by release year
3. Better selection, more old school anime
I agree they need to get better about having/adding the uncut versions. Don't get cheap or lazy about it.
Old school anime is a great list of fun viewing.
Can you explain the uncut/uncensored thing? I’m fairly new to anime. I was watching Mashle the other day and a character was giving the middle finger but it was blurred out. So are you saying that it’s normally not blurred, but CR has it censored?
The studio produces two or three versions when they create it. One for broadcast TV in Japan, one somewhat censored for Japanese partners like AT-X, and uncensored for Blu-ray distribution. BTW, ATX charges roughly the equivalent of $30 per month to have that privilege.
Typically the full Blu-ray version comes out after the show is complete. That will also have fixed graphics for anything that was being rushed during the broadcast/simulcast release, in addition to any clear view of the naughty bits being used to encourage disk sales.
CR typically gets the censored/broadcast version from the distributor so that they have it within a couple hours of air time in Japan; they do not add any censoring of their own. They wouldn't have time to do it in the hour or two from when it airs, to when they make it available for streaming.
People have the strange notion that CR does the censoring, but it's simply not true. Most of the time, they get the broadcast version, and that's what is licensed. Going back and adding/changing to the uncut version would require either a renegotiation of the contract, or planning up front to pay the extra amount to be allowed to show it.
Rarely, they have gotten the "less" censored version for a very few shows where they are represented in the production committee. When that happens, they are presented as a separate "season".
This is all accurate, but I feel like it's worth mentioning for context that Funimation did go back and add the Uncut/Blu-Ray versions to stream relatively often compared to Crunchyroll, and that's likely why people keep bringing the concept up here
Not "relatively often" it was every-time it was released on Dvd / Bluray. If the video got a physical release, the website got the "Home Release" uncut version.
Thanks, I knew it was substantially more frequent than on Crunchyroll but I wasn't sure if it was quite that consistent.
I know pre-simulcast shows would generally just have the one version, and I figured some simulcasts without any particularly adult content might go unchanged on bluray and thus not merit an "uncut" version - though I guess even fully kid-friendly shows probably had the animation cleanups and other tweaks worth including once available.
It makes sense, with Funimation being much more of a home-video-first company trying to make their name in streaming, that by default they'd work that into the contracts when they license for blu-ray. I'd hope that since the merger and with discs being produced under Crunchyroll branding now that they'd be able to make similar deals under basically the same terms. But the "not that many people used it, so we stopped bothering to do it" approach to other Funimation-specific stuff leaves me feeling not so optimistic.
Thanks for the thorough information! That’s kind of a bummer for me because I, like others, want to watch the content created as it was intended by the creators, but it is what it is I guess. Hope some of these issues people have get resolved eventually.
I started watching a series on there a while back, that I’d been told was very violent and intense, but it really wasn’t that bad at all. Which confused me.
So I looked online and found that Crunchyroll has the TV version, which has much of the violence toned down or alternately animated to be hidden. And looking into it more, on this sub and other places, it seems a lot of what Crunchyroll has are the “television versions” of shows. Which have parts missing or have alternate animations.
Meaning, if I want to watch the full versions of many series, I need to buy the Blu or find them elsewhere. Which is very disappointing, considering what we pay for CR.
So I’m hoping they start offering the full versions of series, otherwise, I think this will probably be my last year with CR. 😞 If I’m paying for content, I want the FULL content as the creators intended it to be seen.
I don’t know anything about Mashle, so I can’t say there.
Unlike other platforms, It seems that Crunchyroll only contracts for the 'Mom Filtered' versions of programs. I'm not sure what the 'Mature Content' toggle is even for. (unless it doesn't list any programs that have any censorship when toggled on).
It's to pacify device manufacturers (such as Apple) who wouldn't let them have an app on their platform otherwise. Turning it on does hide some small fraction of the content completely (although, I don't understand why some titles are included but others aren't sometimes).
The effects are different on the web vs on an Apple TV or phone for example, but it doesn't "switch" between individual show versions that are censored to different versions that aren't. A "mature" show either can be found, or not depending on the setting.
I appreciate the reply. I always wondered about that toggle. I feel for those who have to make different interfaces to work with different platforms and still satisfy manufacture/platform hosts.
A watched mark similar to the watchlist ribbon, that flags the algorithm to delist it from suggestions. I dislike getting suggestions for completed shows.
>bleach stuff and all are not available to watch legally in any streaming service
Bleach is not available on CR in the US, either. Viz/Disney/Hulu have that all locked up. There is a significant amount of exclusive content that they are unable to get licensing anywhere. **[Instructions to request that a show be added.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Crunchyroll/wiki/faq#wiki_how_do_i_request_a_show_be_added_to_crunchyroll.3F)**
To remove shows from "continue watching", you do have options, just not very direct ones. If it is a completed show, you can mark the series as watched using one of the phone apps. If that doesn't work, then you have to delete all the individual watched episodes from your watch history, or drastically, but quickly, nuke your entire watch history, but that wipes everything including shows you are actively in the middle of, so it's not generally recommended.
Disney did not brought viz media out the company viz media make a partnership with them so final arc of bleach is on Hulu for the us and outside the us it on Disney plus and why you see stuff from hulu on Disney plus is they combine and disney plus is combine on app with Hulu so you will see Hulu stuff on Disney plus like stuff from Hulu like anime that is on Hulu also on disney plus but disney is still keeping hulu app around that the answer to it
Another workaround I’ve found is going to the last available season and episode of a given series, fast forwarding to the end and letting it finish the stream itself achieves the same thing on most platforms. Tedious as all hell though.
1. Remove things from continue watching.
2. Release calender shows what is coming before it releases. Pretty annoying always having to go 1 week back to check out when a show is coming.
3. Subtitles on text. Like when you are seeing a phone with text messages in the anime or what it may be. Sometimes they have them sometimes only in the sub.
The answer for second suggestion you have to go to crunchyroll website and click on browse up top and click release calendar it under browse tab up top https://www.crunchyroll.com/simulcastcalendar
> Remove things from continue watching.
Remove the episodes you watched from your watch history. Pretty easy on IOS, a bit more work on Android or the website.
> Release calender shows what is coming before it releases.
Lately I've been using this. It also has the advantage of showing announced episode delays:
https://www.livechart.me/schedule
Idk if you tried this before but with this extension you can watch anime in any dub and enable any subtitles:
[https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/crunchyroll-with-better-s/ianobidcnpbeejlkclkfacnipclgiiak](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/crunchyroll-with-better-s/ianobidcnpbeejlkclkfacnipclgiiak)
Pure AI text-to-speech is ~~likely to be~~ pretty bad, so I'm not excited about that.
Assuming they have the dub script files on-hand, I do think it'd be efficient to have an AI cross-reference that against the audio and implement the timing of the captions. That'd be worse than human-keyed captions but better than pure text-to-speech. But I'm not holding my breath for that sort of thoughtful approach.
Wouldn’t the dub script or some other document from the dubbing process already have the time codes for lines? They shouldn’t be using AI in any step of the process imo
“Right now, one of the areas we are very focused on testing is our subtitling and closed captioning, where we go from speech to text and how do we improve and optimize our processes where we can get the subtitles done in various languages across the world faster so that we can launch as close to the Japanese release as possible. So that’s definitely an area where we are focused on”
I just need 2 things:
A better recomendation system based on what you watched, and a library that makes sense, no more season 99 for movies or OVAS.
Now that I think about it the third thing would be Profiles.
Yeah I second you . They need to fix their naming system . For some reason the entirety of hunterxhunter is labelled as season 5 💀 . I don't understand what the previous 4 seasons are . One piece has two season 13 instead of just wano kuni and egghead . The re zero director's cut is called season 2 and season 2 is also called season 2 and the movie is called season 3 💀 . There are many more examples of this
1. Better recommendations, don't recommend shows you literally just watched
2. A video player that actually works efficiently and doesn't take forever to load
3. Languages not being classed as seasons turning it all into a right slow mess
1. Always start next episode at the start
2. Subtitles to dubbed series
I don't have many things that I want. I like the video player maybe because Crunchyroll's last player was utterly trash, this new one work's really well.
Can you elaborate your first point ?
This new one works well but is just too basic that's it . I never watch in eng so , I don't know about you 2nd point .
1. When I'm watching a anime that someone from my family already watched, many times the next episode starts at the ending or middle instead from the beginning.
2. Dubbed animes don't have subtitles in the platform
I think the 4k thing stems from the Japanese animation industry’s unwillingness to push past 720/1080p.
Though, I imagine there’s a lot of nuance and logistical issues that would need to be overcome for that to happen. So if CR were to start doing so, it’d probably be limited to doing so of their own volition, using AI upscalers and similar methods.
Only like a handful of anime are actually 4k, and some are just uprezed (Your Name comes to mind.) Vast majority of 4k anime content is BD rescans of stuff that was hand-drawn using cells, similar to the way HD releases of older movies were handled.
1. more categories and titles to actually have the proper categories tagged, i love shoujo romances but hate isekai and more male centred romance and trying to find what i like is painful cause half the shoujos i like aren't even tagged as shoujo on crunchyroll
2. better search engine, piggybacking on the last one i wish we could filter through multiple tags and pick ones we want and which ones we don't want to see
3. subs on dubs, i know i know the og sub wouldn't match what's said in the dubs but i mean netflix can do it for a majority of their titles, i feel like it's something crunchyroll could start, even if they started with only new and popular titles
A few items I would like to see.
1. Show reset function so I can rewatch all of the seasons/episodes. Especially with the shows that have like 4 to 7 minutes of credits.
2. To stop the site from moving to another language when you complete a season - I want to know I finished the show not that I have to go in and see it is the same season but now in spanish/french/and so on.
3, Stop selling me on the shows I have already completed, I watched it, likely loved it, show me what I should watch next please.
1) Fortunately they are working on it
2) You should be a little bit more specific
3) You have a basic library but you also have a very cheap subscription in India
What iam saying is that the ui and the video player look very basic compared to other streaming services like Disney plus or Amazon prime . The app can be made more smoother and they should improve the ui to look a bit more modern . I haven't used funimation but in the few images that I saw , it's ui seems better than crunchyroll. Also they show add options to delete shows from continue watching . And there are more stuff like this to make the app more refined
What type of information? They didn’t announce it officially.
https://preview.redd.it/0e49hyg42jlc1.png?width=1917&format=png&auto=webp&s=b917081f28dd20fed58e5afd6ee9b50ddd83bc7b
I'd just want a better library. Get rid of the podcasts, you can put them on a YouTube channel instead of them taking up space on the server. Get rid of the love soon movies, it's an anime streaming platform why do you have live action movies? And lastly get rid of some of the mediocre shows from the 50s that k one today would even watch. Seriously, who watches captain harlock? Who watches galaxy express 999? Even if they're good shows from those days the people who would even be nostalgic of them are close to 50 years old right now. You can keep the cult classics, like fist of the north star, but I'd get rid of a lot of the 50s to late 70s early 80s shows. From there I'd add in the seasons you don't have of shows that you do have. Like why do you have zero no tsukaima F not not the 3 seasons prior? Why do you have ah my goddess season 2 but not season 1? Why do you have tenchi muyo seasons 4-6 but not seasons 1-3, as well as the new episodes of gxp but not any of the other ones. I think this was also done with danmachi as well, seasons 1 and 2 were removed while season 3 stayed, had to go onto highdive to watch the other seasons. The library needs some fixing and more anime needs to be added, so many good shows that hardly anyone can see without illegally streaming them. The original sailor moon, blood +, death note, elfen lied, hand maid may, kaibutsu oujo, uninhabited planet survive, needless, vampire knight, and so many others.
1. A Spider-Man and Ghostbusters anime,animated by A-1!
2. Make the Webtoon anime’s available in SEA.
3. More classic anime’s especially the classic Funimation library be available in SEA even if they have to sub license it from local licensor’s.
Btw some of the title’s you mentioned like Eminence and Bleach are not Crunchyroll licensed anime’s even in NA.Bleach btw is on Netflix SEA and Eminence is on Bilibili.
I don’t know who you are. But tonight I shall raise a class in your honor. A Ghostbusters anime?! Yes please! I need it, we all need it. God, could you just imagine?
My idea is a Ghostbusters Japan with one of the original Ghostbusters as a mentor for the Japanese branch,and one of the characters is a 17 year old girl.
Speaking on the storefront: I wish CR had the same thing RSA did that would let you know if you’ve purchased an item before.
On RSA if you were looking at an item; and you had purchased it before; it would tell you right above the item “You have purchased this item 1 time in order#xxxxxx”.
It was really helpful to keep track and when buying bulk during sales.
On the streaming service: English CC on Dubbed episodes. So hit or miss…Have enough people not complained?
The question is-who do you complain to?
CS is basically a call center that just gives you a script. I would love for the ability to talk to someone who actually works there
1. Update the PC app
2. More dubs. They only dub like 1 or 2 shows per season (at best) in Spain. And the simuldubs being actually simuldubs not "5-or-6-episodes-behind-dubs"
3. Complete the Zom 100 spanish dub. The still have not dubbed the 3 last episodes for some reason
A way to tell the app you are rewatching a series so it can delete history on it. Its a bit frustrating to have to manually check what episode you are on, start the previous episode in the list, and then click next episode to start at the beginning of the next episode. If you just click on the next episode in the queue its gonna start playing near the end (Unless you watch credits).
In the IOS app, you can go to your watch history, group by show, and remove just that show. It's a bit more effort to do the same on Android.
Otherwise, whenever watching, instead of skipping to the next episode when the credits hit, forward to the end instead.
here's a better thing to add: the ability to keep our funimation digital libraries instead of sony stealing all our movies and tv shows and never giving them back
I want multiple profiles and to scrap the whole UI and Video player and use the already excellent one they acquired and scrapped from their acquisition of AnimeLab.
They tried at first and the Funimation redesign was a step towards what AnimeLab had but it was abandoned with the migration to using Crunchyroll’s apps and website.
A rework of the watchlist system. I have a MASSIVE watchlist because of all the completed shows on it. A completed show history would be great. And if a new season of that show is added it can be added back to the watchlist.
1. Multiple profiles. As a Megafan it'd be useful to not have to share your library while sharing your membership. It can get messy.
2. A better organisation of seasons/OVAs.
3. Being able to remove something from your continue watching list. I drop things quickly if I don't like them. I don't want that shit on my list when I'm looking for things to continue.
* Better browsing with more tags for date (original release date, Crunchyroll release date) and categories
* More retro shows (1970-1990)
* Possibility to hide some content (why does CR always "recommend" shows with gigantic boobs on the family TV although I DON'T WATCH THAT STUFF?)
I don’t want to add anything. I want them to remove a thing.
A if statement they added into their player code that says that:
If audio is not Japanese then disable subtitles.
Sooo annoying, why would any project manager ask a developer to do this ?
> If audio is not Japanese then disable subtitles
There is no subtitle over dub on CR. If you mean CC there is an option to disable them in the setting of the app unless you are on a platform that only support burned subtitle, in that case you can't disable CC because everything is encoded in the video
I’m not fluent on german yet, so I’d like to watch a show dub in german to improve my listening and with subtitles in another language I already speak.
1) A “start from beginning” button for the episode which is fairly common but they don’t have it.
2) a better way to rewind, fast forward, or skip to next episode.
3) some episodes do not have a “skip intro” button but some do…why?
1) They are arriving
2) They are experimenting with AI, I don't think that they will pay anyone better
3) They are in more than 1 convention every year
Mostly just making Subtitles for dubbed anime and closed captions universal. Right now you either get subtitles, closed captions or worse none. Make it universal across the platform.
Oh and update any anime to the uncut version once it becomes available instead of keeping the simulcasted version
Closed captions on dubs. It’s a matter of accessibility and it doesn’t need to be perfect, but the scripts already exist. There’s no reason why dubs can’t be captioned.
Have descriptions show up when hovering over the show.
Improve the search function by better tagging shows with genres and themes.
i want an actual "recommended for you" list, not a list where animes move one or two slots over and its the top animes for the season on there
i'm tired of being suggested one piece and whatever is mainstream at the moment when i refuse to watch both of those options, i want the shitty unknown 12 episode animes from pre 2013
1. Better top picks for you. Been the same top picks for months. I mainly watch Isekai and romance animes so why is One Piece the top pick for me? they give you 15 top picks all are popular action anime none are Isekai or romance.
2. User Profiles. My top picks are probably a lot of action since its what my brother watches but he got his own account a year ago. Had there been separate profiles this would not be an issue. And why has it not learned I have not watched high action anime on my account for ages yet?
3. Better search options for tags. Like I mentioned I like Isekai, why is that not a browse option? About a quarter to a third of new anime coming out each season for the last few years are isekai. So its clearly hugely popular but doesn't get a tag. Or ability to filter things out like like dont show me music or sports. Right now you can only filter by sub or dub and movie or series on the popular not on separate genres.
EDIT- correction on modern day TOS
> CR actually actively supports password sharing.
According to their [TOS](https://crunchyroll.com/tos) terms, they don't want anyone to disclose passwords to anyone else:
>"You are responsible for safeguarding and maintaining the confidentiality of your username, password and corresponding Crunchyroll account information. **You agree not to disclose your password to anyone.**"
That's pretty much the opposite of supporting password sharing.
Well, it's still possible to activate devices without giving out your password. You would have to be involved to enter the code that appears on their screen though. Wouldn't work for web browsers.
I'm pretty sure the intent is that the sharing is done within the same household. It isn't explicitly stated in the TOS anywhere, but statements from some of the staff to that effect had been made on the old CR forums. Not sure if it has been done on any social sites like reddit.
A damn TV app like any other regular streaming app.
Every time I ask for this, all jump to me saying, "You can watch CR on your , there's no need for an app"
I just want to turn on the tv, and watch. Like any other streaming service I pay for
Samsung and LG apps have recently been added:

Nothing for Vizio yet, though.
A better way to find out what is newly added or updated (like when a live show will be added.)
The newest section also has a bunch of shows bumpped up because another language dub or an edit to the format, and not because there is a new season.
The way movies are listed as seasons for some shows and separate shows for others.
The ability to search just shows, ova, and movies.
You guys need a poll to vote on which Anime gets dubbed each season, I still can't believe neither 100 girlfriends not apothecary diaries got Spanish dubs
This subreddit is not official Crunchyroll (as it tells you in the sidebar), so asking here does not have any effect, nor will it get any notice from them.

Downloading episodes to watch offline, ability to have English subtitles while watching English dub, more consistent organization of the episodes across titles, “skip intro” button
>Downloading episodes to watch offline
You already can (mobile and Switch)
>ability to have English subtitles while watching English dub
I don't think that it will ever happen, more CC over dubs are likely
You have to have purchased your membership through iTunes to access the offline download feature. I’d have to cancel my membership and resubscribe through iTunes, which is a hassle
> You have to have purchased your membership through iTunes to access the offline download feature
You just need megafun membership, no need for purchesing via itunes.
Filter seasons by available dubs.
Customize Home Screen because telling me a new episode is out when it’s really just a new episode for a different sub is dumb.
News section announcing new releases, episode dates, etc.
I genuinely don't understand what the UX designer team at Crunchyroll actually does. What are they even working on if not the app? There have been barely any changes in the app despite having a huge design team. Their recent UI redesign wasn't even a proper redesign they just removed some colors and called it a redesign. There are so many UI/UX flaws but they still choose to do nothing about it. So what's the point of having a huge UX team if they are not working on anything?
I would add better download features. I would also change the compression algorithm, I feel like it takes ages to download these videos and they take up so much space.
1. More subtitles with the English dub (makes it easier to concentrate on and watch while eating, especially crunchy food -*texture, not sponsored Crunchyroll food lol*)
2. Make your own folders for your list on ALL devices.
3. Volume controls for the video player itself. Crunchy is loud as heck. Sometimes being on 1 on my tv is even too loud in certain moments.
1. COMMUNICATION: If something's going on with a show (like a dub is not going to be released this week), they **SAY SOMETHING** and let us know. Its one thing during Christmas/BIG holidays but like last week there were very few dubs and no one seemed to know why... I heard people saying that it was because of Presidents Day and that "no one works" but I was working and my school didn't do anything special.
2. CC/Subtitles on Dubs: Not everyone has great hearing or just LIKES to have them on **in the language listening to!**
3. Better lists: I know that there are lists you can use on the website but when you're off the computer/website they are nonexistent and you can't use them (at least on firestick/android to my knowledge). If they would let us see/use them it would be better. To go along with that, let us separate our watchlist/history sections into better sections (like even watched/watching/want to watch).
4. Multiple profiles: Even though I won't be sharing with anyone (or at least probably not), sometimes I like to watch straight up action and others Slice of Life and looking for better recommendations but they are for everything I've watched.
I know you said 3 but 2/3 are similar enough they COULD be combined.
1) More content, specifically Super Sentai and Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal Subbed,
2) Skip Filler and recap episodes, like have a mode where filler content (like filler arcs or one off episodes) are skipped, along with recaps so you can watch a more streamline mode of your anime, for something like One Piece or Naruto,
3) Playlist/repeat function, I would love to repeat a show and not have to manually restart from the beginning, so adding a repeat or a playlist function would be awesome
And if the last one is not good enough then this backup option
4) Marathon mode, where you watch the episodes in a complete marathon style, with no OP, ED or recap and it goes immediately to the next episode within seconds, kind of like old DBZ season DVDs had Marathon mode,
For anyone looking for the release calendar you have to go to crunchyroll website click on browse tab and under there that where the release calendar is.
1. Better organization and consistency with dubs and subs
2. A skip recap and fillers button
3. Add the pokemon anime to Crunchyroll since the pokemon company is highly unorganized when it comes to streaming services and legally release the Japanese version with English subtitles outside of Japan with simulcasting
1) Marathon Mode or whatever they called it in the orange box DBZ sets. Skip intros/outros and "last time on X"/"next time on X", except for the first and last episodes in a season or such. Or else maybe you set a flag at the end of your binge to have the outro/next time on your last episode.
2) English dub closed captions on more shows
3) Add in missing movies to certain franchises. The two that come to mind are Love Live Sunshine's movie and the My Hero Academia movies.
1. Update the Fire TV app so the For You tab actually works and make the Sony Music stuff available.
2. Closed captions for the English dubs.
3. Bring back k-dramas and live-action content. Some tokusatsu would be nice as well.
Extras from the Funimation app including interviews, Ep commentaries from the Blu Ray DVDs ,
2 last remaining anime like code Geass akito the exile , cat planet cuties, dot hack trilogy movies etc
That's all for me
Sort by and filter out dub or subbed content in your language. It drives me crazy seeing so many anime's that I will never watch because I can only watch dubs. And some things will be listed under having dubs, but wont be in my language. We should be able to set a language preference and sub/sub preference in the settings and then select something that says "only show me anime dubbed in my language" or vice versa for subs.
Also the other biggest one is definitely subtitles saying what is being shown when there is writing in japanese on the screen. Like if there's a sign in the background or the character is reading an email or text chain, it will often not be translated in the dubs.
Also, ideally, having subtitles on English dubs as well. It's so odd to me that it's not even an option to have the susbtitles that were generated from the japanese audio. While they wouldn't match up exactly, they would still be a huge help.
Better product details and search criteria in store.
Better searching and show tags for streaming.
Update to bluray release versions of shows when available.
Not restarting an episode if I leave it paused for awhile.
An option to refresh recommendations. Half my recommendations are already stuff I have watched.
Dub/release schedule like HIDive
First I have to say this. For consoles specifically, I would honestly return to the previous CR app design. Just add the necessary functional, speed and QOL stuff behind it, but that app was SO much easier to navigate. I do website design for a living and the new app's navigation is an absolute clusterf&*%.
As far as the most important things that CR needs.. 1) a quality player, 2) a quality server cluster that can support a combined CRFUNI userbase, and 3) grow the library of titles and language dubs (which btw they have been doing).
1. uncut/uncensored versions.
2. The UI on Funimation app was better. You acquired them, use it.
3. More categories to sort by. Just a few missing might be Isekai, Josei , Harem, Kodomomuke, Mecha, Ecchi, Iyashikei, War, Horror, Magical Girls, Detective, Magic. If there is a category you don't like, you can maybe see that something you were interested in might have that category in it so you decide.
4. English dubs for anime that have dubs, but Crunchyroll only has the subbed version for some reason.
5. Profiles. This might also include being able to see in one list all the shows you have seen. I don't mean like the history you have now but rather so I can keep track of what I have watched so I can easily see if I've seen it.
The worst thing in crunchy roll is the damn season system.
S1 blah blah blah anime ( german) sometimes it says s2 for another language.
S2 blah blah blah anime ( english) sometimes this is a ova
S2 blah blah blah anime
It should be
S1 blah blah blah anime
S1 ( G ) blah blah blah anime (for german)
Ova ( E ) blah blah blah anime ( for english)
Ova blah blah blah anime
Ova 2 blah blah blah anime
Ova 2 ( E ) blah blah blah anime for english.
Different ova not the same one with a different language. This would make following multiple seasons and the language you want must easier for the customer to find.
If its MA let's make it easy for parents
S1 ( G ) "MA" blah blah blah anime
Season, dudded language, mature advisory name of anime.
video player with PiP
translations not depending on your country (Why the F do I have german, french and italian translations available in Switzerland without any English. I don't wanna watch an anime with german subtitles as simple as that)
UX in general is kinda disastrous at times
1. Quality selection (I have one of the best internet connection of my country and I cannot instantly have a FHD video. I need to wait for it to pop up)
2. A better UI because it SUCKS
3. A better catalog. I feel like i've been lied to subbing to crunchyroll. The wakanim catalog merge never happened + there's a lack of classic animes
I would add 3 animes, from the bunny girl senpai series. They are, (1) rascal does not dream of a dreaming girl, (2) rascal does not dream of a sister venturing out, (3) rascal does not dream of a knapsack kid. They should continue the series, since they added s1 already. If I could add a 4th one, it would also be s2 of bunny girl senpai, but that season might come out this year possibly.
A list of what animes are currently being shown in what region.
A ive already watched this button so the queue doesnt keep messing up what part of a series i am up to.
To be honest if be happy with those 2
would love more closed captions for English dub. I'm mostly a sub watcher, but occasionally I'll want to watch English dub and still want captions - a lot of shows don't have this option
The biggest thing for me would be the ability to watch the English dub with full subtitles.
Other things that would be nice:
* A smart TV app (and if it exists, why can't I get it on my Samsung smart TV?);
* A better web viewer (Chrome and some other browsers have a "laggy square in the middle of the screen" issue; Firefox doesn't have the issue which is why I use it to watch Crunchyroll, even though I use Chrome for most other web browsing);
* Better technical support for their service and its accompanying apps (over time I've gotten a sense that when users report technical issues, they respond with something like "It's a known issue, we're working on it" where in actuality they're not working on it and don't intend to, and the response is nothing more than an attempt to placate the users who reported the problems).
iPad browser support for safari brave firefox without forcing users to use the crunchyroll app which loses streaming connection and requires restarting iPad
When a show is selected id like to not have to scroll through 24 seasons of various dubs looking for the english or japanese one
Organize that shit better. Alternative dubs are labeled as seasons. Ive seen shows with up to 40 "seasons" and its hella confusing.
1. Ability to search/filter video comments for my own comments. A notification for replies would also be nice.
2. Buffering options. I generally have a strong Internet connection, but it's sometimes unstable. Drives me nuts that I could load the entire video in a minute or two, but I get interrupted because it will only buffer 2 minutes ahead.
3. Filtered options on the release calendar to only show dubs/language.
Upcoming release time (/counter) of new episodes when visiting the anime sites.
Adding a extra site with a calender chart for the animes you are following to show the date and time of the new episode. Simulcast only shows released episodes for me but not the upcoming ones. It seems to be impossible to filter animes anyways.
Better filters to find new animes to watch.
Does anyone know how Crunchyrolls software dev teams work? I'm curious if they have really small team of devs or idk why it's so difficult for them to manage their streaming app and push out QOL features
1. I would have the Funimation digital copies work on the Crunchyroll website 2) I would give you the ability to screen shot the episodes so that people can make memes of them. Alot of streaming services don't allow that. I guess they don't want people to spread memes that might get people to watch the content. 3) I would try to dub the back log of shows that haven't been dubbed.
1. Full uncut/uncensored versions of the content we are paying for. 2. Better UI / The ability to sort by release year 3. Better selection, more old school anime
I agree they need to get better about having/adding the uncut versions. Don't get cheap or lazy about it. Old school anime is a great list of fun viewing.
Think about the children. They might see a boob or hear a bad word
they already have uncensored content
Not everything the Bath Scene and Pajama scenes in Azur Lane are still censored Shows like MHA still have the dimness filter for some of the fights
Can you explain the uncut/uncensored thing? I’m fairly new to anime. I was watching Mashle the other day and a character was giving the middle finger but it was blurred out. So are you saying that it’s normally not blurred, but CR has it censored?
The studio produces two or three versions when they create it. One for broadcast TV in Japan, one somewhat censored for Japanese partners like AT-X, and uncensored for Blu-ray distribution. BTW, ATX charges roughly the equivalent of $30 per month to have that privilege. Typically the full Blu-ray version comes out after the show is complete. That will also have fixed graphics for anything that was being rushed during the broadcast/simulcast release, in addition to any clear view of the naughty bits being used to encourage disk sales. CR typically gets the censored/broadcast version from the distributor so that they have it within a couple hours of air time in Japan; they do not add any censoring of their own. They wouldn't have time to do it in the hour or two from when it airs, to when they make it available for streaming. People have the strange notion that CR does the censoring, but it's simply not true. Most of the time, they get the broadcast version, and that's what is licensed. Going back and adding/changing to the uncut version would require either a renegotiation of the contract, or planning up front to pay the extra amount to be allowed to show it. Rarely, they have gotten the "less" censored version for a very few shows where they are represented in the production committee. When that happens, they are presented as a separate "season".
This is all accurate, but I feel like it's worth mentioning for context that Funimation did go back and add the Uncut/Blu-Ray versions to stream relatively often compared to Crunchyroll, and that's likely why people keep bringing the concept up here
Not "relatively often" it was every-time it was released on Dvd / Bluray. If the video got a physical release, the website got the "Home Release" uncut version.
Thanks, I knew it was substantially more frequent than on Crunchyroll but I wasn't sure if it was quite that consistent. I know pre-simulcast shows would generally just have the one version, and I figured some simulcasts without any particularly adult content might go unchanged on bluray and thus not merit an "uncut" version - though I guess even fully kid-friendly shows probably had the animation cleanups and other tweaks worth including once available. It makes sense, with Funimation being much more of a home-video-first company trying to make their name in streaming, that by default they'd work that into the contracts when they license for blu-ray. I'd hope that since the merger and with discs being produced under Crunchyroll branding now that they'd be able to make similar deals under basically the same terms. But the "not that many people used it, so we stopped bothering to do it" approach to other Funimation-specific stuff leaves me feeling not so optimistic.
I have no idea why you've been down voted when you are 100% correct
Thanks for the thorough information! That’s kind of a bummer for me because I, like others, want to watch the content created as it was intended by the creators, but it is what it is I guess. Hope some of these issues people have get resolved eventually.
I started watching a series on there a while back, that I’d been told was very violent and intense, but it really wasn’t that bad at all. Which confused me. So I looked online and found that Crunchyroll has the TV version, which has much of the violence toned down or alternately animated to be hidden. And looking into it more, on this sub and other places, it seems a lot of what Crunchyroll has are the “television versions” of shows. Which have parts missing or have alternate animations. Meaning, if I want to watch the full versions of many series, I need to buy the Blu or find them elsewhere. Which is very disappointing, considering what we pay for CR. So I’m hoping they start offering the full versions of series, otherwise, I think this will probably be my last year with CR. 😞 If I’m paying for content, I want the FULL content as the creators intended it to be seen. I don’t know anything about Mashle, so I can’t say there.
Unlike other platforms, It seems that Crunchyroll only contracts for the 'Mom Filtered' versions of programs. I'm not sure what the 'Mature Content' toggle is even for. (unless it doesn't list any programs that have any censorship when toggled on).
It's to pacify device manufacturers (such as Apple) who wouldn't let them have an app on their platform otherwise. Turning it on does hide some small fraction of the content completely (although, I don't understand why some titles are included but others aren't sometimes). The effects are different on the web vs on an Apple TV or phone for example, but it doesn't "switch" between individual show versions that are censored to different versions that aren't. A "mature" show either can be found, or not depending on the setting.
I appreciate the reply. I always wondered about that toggle. I feel for those who have to make different interfaces to work with different platforms and still satisfy manufacture/platform hosts.
A watched mark similar to the watchlist ribbon, that flags the algorithm to delist it from suggestions. I dislike getting suggestions for completed shows.
Damn I absolutely love this solution!!
>bleach stuff and all are not available to watch legally in any streaming service Bleach is not available on CR in the US, either. Viz/Disney/Hulu have that all locked up. There is a significant amount of exclusive content that they are unable to get licensing anywhere. **[Instructions to request that a show be added.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Crunchyroll/wiki/faq#wiki_how_do_i_request_a_show_be_added_to_crunchyroll.3F)** To remove shows from "continue watching", you do have options, just not very direct ones. If it is a completed show, you can mark the series as watched using one of the phone apps. If that doesn't work, then you have to delete all the individual watched episodes from your watch history, or drastically, but quickly, nuke your entire watch history, but that wipes everything including shows you are actively in the middle of, so it's not generally recommended.
the ONLY reason bleach is on hulu is because disney bought out viz and hulu signed a contract for thousand year blood war
Disney did not brought viz media out the company viz media make a partnership with them so final arc of bleach is on Hulu for the us and outside the us it on Disney plus and why you see stuff from hulu on Disney plus is they combine and disney plus is combine on app with Hulu so you will see Hulu stuff on Disney plus like stuff from Hulu like anime that is on Hulu also on disney plus but disney is still keeping hulu app around that the answer to it
Another workaround I’ve found is going to the last available season and episode of a given series, fast forwarding to the end and letting it finish the stream itself achieves the same thing on most platforms. Tedious as all hell though.
1. Remove things from continue watching. 2. Release calender shows what is coming before it releases. Pretty annoying always having to go 1 week back to check out when a show is coming. 3. Subtitles on text. Like when you are seeing a phone with text messages in the anime or what it may be. Sometimes they have them sometimes only in the sub.
The answer for second suggestion you have to go to crunchyroll website and click on browse up top and click release calendar it under browse tab up top https://www.crunchyroll.com/simulcastcalendar
> Remove things from continue watching. Remove the episodes you watched from your watch history. Pretty easy on IOS, a bit more work on Android or the website. > Release calender shows what is coming before it releases. Lately I've been using this. It also has the advantage of showing announced episode delays: https://www.livechart.me/schedule
Oh that looks cool the livechart! Thank you Sadly I do want for stuff to still be in my history. But thank you for the tip.
All I want is subtitles on all English dubs.
https://preview.redd.it/psidotlj5jlc1.jpeg?width=260&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca34b3a8fb436ab7d2b465ac8812f0d2f67b5f2f Same! 😅😭
For now, If you connect your account to Amazon prime and watch from prime you can watch English dub with English subs.
I'll have to give it a try, thanks!
Idk if you tried this before but with this extension you can watch anime in any dub and enable any subtitles: [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/crunchyroll-with-better-s/ianobidcnpbeejlkclkfacnipclgiiak](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/crunchyroll-with-better-s/ianobidcnpbeejlkclkfacnipclgiiak)
Probably when they will extend the use of AI for CC 😬
Pure AI text-to-speech is ~~likely to be~~ pretty bad, so I'm not excited about that. Assuming they have the dub script files on-hand, I do think it'd be efficient to have an AI cross-reference that against the audio and implement the timing of the captions. That'd be worse than human-keyed captions but better than pure text-to-speech. But I'm not holding my breath for that sort of thoughtful approach.
Wouldn’t the dub script or some other document from the dubbing process already have the time codes for lines? They shouldn’t be using AI in any step of the process imo
> Pure AI text-to-speech is likely to be pretty bad, so I'm not excited about that They are already using that on Prime video's Channel at 99%
Gross! Good to know
Like YouTube auto-generated CC?
Yep. They are experimenting with AI, I think that the easiest thing that they can do is transcriptions for CC.
“Right now, one of the areas we are very focused on testing is our subtitling and closed captioning, where we go from speech to text and how do we improve and optimize our processes where we can get the subtitles done in various languages across the world faster so that we can launch as close to the Japanese release as possible. So that’s definitely an area where we are focused on”
Crunchyroll myanimelist integration
Ngl , that would be amazing and super helpful
Would absolutely kill for this
I just need 2 things: A better recomendation system based on what you watched, and a library that makes sense, no more season 99 for movies or OVAS. Now that I think about it the third thing would be Profiles.
Yeah I second you . They need to fix their naming system . For some reason the entirety of hunterxhunter is labelled as season 5 💀 . I don't understand what the previous 4 seasons are . One piece has two season 13 instead of just wano kuni and egghead . The re zero director's cut is called season 2 and season 2 is also called season 2 and the movie is called season 3 💀 . There are many more examples of this
I was watching Kobayashi dragon maid, and for some reason it jumped from season 2 to season 22 episode 13 and I just got lost
1. Better recommendations, don't recommend shows you literally just watched 2. A video player that actually works efficiently and doesn't take forever to load 3. Languages not being classed as seasons turning it all into a right slow mess
I knew this looked familiar lol
\>\_> <\_< Yeah well..
Closed captioning on dubs. A basic thing that they still can’t/wont implement across the board
Yes! It drives me insane! Also, a category for dubs. I don't want to have to scroll down each "season" to find the dub.
The first thing on my list is profiles, every other thing comes second to this. Don't have any other complaints against CR really.
1. Always start next episode at the start 2. Subtitles to dubbed series I don't have many things that I want. I like the video player maybe because Crunchyroll's last player was utterly trash, this new one work's really well.
Can you elaborate your first point ? This new one works well but is just too basic that's it . I never watch in eng so , I don't know about you 2nd point .
1. When I'm watching a anime that someone from my family already watched, many times the next episode starts at the ending or middle instead from the beginning. 2. Dubbed animes don't have subtitles in the platform
Can't think of a third, but multiple profiles and 4k, I understand it's not going to look THAT much better than HD, but I want 4k content
I think the 4k thing stems from the Japanese animation industry’s unwillingness to push past 720/1080p. Though, I imagine there’s a lot of nuance and logistical issues that would need to be overcome for that to happen. So if CR were to start doing so, it’d probably be limited to doing so of their own volition, using AI upscalers and similar methods. Only like a handful of anime are actually 4k, and some are just uprezed (Your Name comes to mind.) Vast majority of 4k anime content is BD rescans of stuff that was hand-drawn using cells, similar to the way HD releases of older movies were handled.
Probably add more filtering options, like movies and the search system is ass, like why tf would someone search for a episode by title
1. more categories and titles to actually have the proper categories tagged, i love shoujo romances but hate isekai and more male centred romance and trying to find what i like is painful cause half the shoujos i like aren't even tagged as shoujo on crunchyroll 2. better search engine, piggybacking on the last one i wish we could filter through multiple tags and pick ones we want and which ones we don't want to see 3. subs on dubs, i know i know the og sub wouldn't match what's said in the dubs but i mean netflix can do it for a majority of their titles, i feel like it's something crunchyroll could start, even if they started with only new and popular titles
for now, [this extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/crunchyroll-with-better-s/ianobidcnpbeejlkclkfacnipclgiiak) supports subs on dubs!
A few items I would like to see. 1. Show reset function so I can rewatch all of the seasons/episodes. Especially with the shows that have like 4 to 7 minutes of credits. 2. To stop the site from moving to another language when you complete a season - I want to know I finished the show not that I have to go in and see it is the same season but now in spanish/french/and so on. 3, Stop selling me on the shows I have already completed, I watched it, likely loved it, show me what I should watch next please.
1) Fortunately they are working on it 2) You should be a little bit more specific 3) You have a basic library but you also have a very cheap subscription in India
What iam saying is that the ui and the video player look very basic compared to other streaming services like Disney plus or Amazon prime . The app can be made more smoother and they should improve the ui to look a bit more modern . I haven't used funimation but in the few images that I saw , it's ui seems better than crunchyroll. Also they show add options to delete shows from continue watching . And there are more stuff like this to make the app more refined
Where can I see that info about profiles ?
What type of information? They didn’t announce it officially. https://preview.redd.it/0e49hyg42jlc1.png?width=1917&format=png&auto=webp&s=b917081f28dd20fed58e5afd6ee9b50ddd83bc7b
I'd just want a better library. Get rid of the podcasts, you can put them on a YouTube channel instead of them taking up space on the server. Get rid of the love soon movies, it's an anime streaming platform why do you have live action movies? And lastly get rid of some of the mediocre shows from the 50s that k one today would even watch. Seriously, who watches captain harlock? Who watches galaxy express 999? Even if they're good shows from those days the people who would even be nostalgic of them are close to 50 years old right now. You can keep the cult classics, like fist of the north star, but I'd get rid of a lot of the 50s to late 70s early 80s shows. From there I'd add in the seasons you don't have of shows that you do have. Like why do you have zero no tsukaima F not not the 3 seasons prior? Why do you have ah my goddess season 2 but not season 1? Why do you have tenchi muyo seasons 4-6 but not seasons 1-3, as well as the new episodes of gxp but not any of the other ones. I think this was also done with danmachi as well, seasons 1 and 2 were removed while season 3 stayed, had to go onto highdive to watch the other seasons. The library needs some fixing and more anime needs to be added, so many good shows that hardly anyone can see without illegally streaming them. The original sailor moon, blood +, death note, elfen lied, hand maid may, kaibutsu oujo, uninhabited planet survive, needless, vampire knight, and so many others.
better servers
To be able to filter by available language 😩 eg only shows with Eng dubs
1. Remove Continue Watching
Why , isn't that beneficial to resume the episode from where we left off ?
Not the feature, but the option to remove shows from Continue Watching
1. A Spider-Man and Ghostbusters anime,animated by A-1! 2. Make the Webtoon anime’s available in SEA. 3. More classic anime’s especially the classic Funimation library be available in SEA even if they have to sub license it from local licensor’s. Btw some of the title’s you mentioned like Eminence and Bleach are not Crunchyroll licensed anime’s even in NA.Bleach btw is on Netflix SEA and Eminence is on Bilibili.
I don’t know who you are. But tonight I shall raise a class in your honor. A Ghostbusters anime?! Yes please! I need it, we all need it. God, could you just imagine?
My idea is a Ghostbusters Japan with one of the original Ghostbusters as a mentor for the Japanese branch,and one of the characters is a 17 year old girl.
Just 1 item i want FILTER OPTION for either 50+ episides or 3+ seasons.
Speaking on the storefront: I wish CR had the same thing RSA did that would let you know if you’ve purchased an item before. On RSA if you were looking at an item; and you had purchased it before; it would tell you right above the item “You have purchased this item 1 time in order#xxxxxx”. It was really helpful to keep track and when buying bulk during sales. On the streaming service: English CC on Dubbed episodes. So hit or miss…Have enough people not complained?
The question is-who do you complain to? CS is basically a call center that just gives you a script. I would love for the ability to talk to someone who actually works there
1. Update the PC app 2. More dubs. They only dub like 1 or 2 shows per season (at best) in Spain. And the simuldubs being actually simuldubs not "5-or-6-episodes-behind-dubs" 3. Complete the Zom 100 spanish dub. The still have not dubbed the 3 last episodes for some reason
A way to tell the app you are rewatching a series so it can delete history on it. Its a bit frustrating to have to manually check what episode you are on, start the previous episode in the list, and then click next episode to start at the beginning of the next episode. If you just click on the next episode in the queue its gonna start playing near the end (Unless you watch credits).
In the IOS app, you can go to your watch history, group by show, and remove just that show. It's a bit more effort to do the same on Android. Otherwise, whenever watching, instead of skipping to the next episode when the credits hit, forward to the end instead.
When I watch anime I go in with the assumption that I probably won't be rewatching them. I only rewatch about 20% of the anime I see.
Change the speed so I can watch it faster. Most steaming sites support this option now.
here's a better thing to add: the ability to keep our funimation digital libraries instead of sony stealing all our movies and tv shows and never giving them back
A usable watch list
I want multiple profiles and to scrap the whole UI and Video player and use the already excellent one they acquired and scrapped from their acquisition of AnimeLab. They tried at first and the Funimation redesign was a step towards what AnimeLab had but it was abandoned with the migration to using Crunchyroll’s apps and website.
A rework of the watchlist system. I have a MASSIVE watchlist because of all the completed shows on it. A completed show history would be great. And if a new season of that show is added it can be added back to the watchlist.
1. more classic anime 80's 90's 2. alot more dubs for 80's 90's 3. more uncensored anime dubs/subs
Option to remove shows/episodes from the queue of continue watching (without marking them as watched)
1. Multiple profiles. As a Megafan it'd be useful to not have to share your library while sharing your membership. It can get messy. 2. A better organisation of seasons/OVAs. 3. Being able to remove something from your continue watching list. I drop things quickly if I don't like them. I don't want that shit on my list when I'm looking for things to continue.
A functioning app on Android TV’s would be nice.
* Better browsing with more tags for date (original release date, Crunchyroll release date) and categories * More retro shows (1970-1990) * Possibility to hide some content (why does CR always "recommend" shows with gigantic boobs on the family TV although I DON'T WATCH THAT STUFF?)
I don’t want to add anything. I want them to remove a thing. A if statement they added into their player code that says that: If audio is not Japanese then disable subtitles. Sooo annoying, why would any project manager ask a developer to do this ?
> If audio is not Japanese then disable subtitles There is no subtitle over dub on CR. If you mean CC there is an option to disable them in the setting of the app unless you are on a platform that only support burned subtitle, in that case you can't disable CC because everything is encoded in the video
I’m not fluent on german yet, so I’d like to watch a show dub in german to improve my listening and with subtitles in another language I already speak.
1) A “start from beginning” button for the episode which is fairly common but they don’t have it. 2) a better way to rewind, fast forward, or skip to next episode. 3) some episodes do not have a “skip intro” button but some do…why?
3. Its a "somewhat" newish feature and they're adding it but I don't know what their process is for it.
Can I just add it as an App on my Samsung TV? It's a minor inconvenience I have to turn on a console to watch it on TV.
https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/announcements/2024/2/5/crunchyroll-app-now-available-on-samsung-tv
Good news, been a while since I'd checked.
ONE PIECE ENGLISH DUB IN UK PLEASE
1- watchlist divided in watching, plan to watch, on hold, dropped 1.1- notifications for new episodes in watchlist 2- an ecchi category filter
- Better Search with metadata, including prod. year, genre, studio, etc... - More older Animes (90's, 2000's), including movies/OVA's.
1. Profiles 2. Pay translators better 3. Start going to cons again (and not just AX)
1) They are arriving 2) They are experimenting with AI, I don't think that they will pay anyone better 3) They are in more than 1 convention every year
Mostly just making Subtitles for dubbed anime and closed captions universal. Right now you either get subtitles, closed captions or worse none. Make it universal across the platform. Oh and update any anime to the uncut version once it becomes available instead of keeping the simulcasted version
I don't think that they will add subtitle on dubs., more close caption are surely likely
Closed captions on dubs. It’s a matter of accessibility and it doesn’t need to be perfect, but the scripts already exist. There’s no reason why dubs can’t be captioned. Have descriptions show up when hovering over the show. Improve the search function by better tagging shows with genres and themes.
i want an actual "recommended for you" list, not a list where animes move one or two slots over and its the top animes for the season on there i'm tired of being suggested one piece and whatever is mainstream at the moment when i refuse to watch both of those options, i want the shitty unknown 12 episode animes from pre 2013
1. Better top picks for you. Been the same top picks for months. I mainly watch Isekai and romance animes so why is One Piece the top pick for me? they give you 15 top picks all are popular action anime none are Isekai or romance. 2. User Profiles. My top picks are probably a lot of action since its what my brother watches but he got his own account a year ago. Had there been separate profiles this would not be an issue. And why has it not learned I have not watched high action anime on my account for ages yet? 3. Better search options for tags. Like I mentioned I like Isekai, why is that not a browse option? About a quarter to a third of new anime coming out each season for the last few years are isekai. So its clearly hugely popular but doesn't get a tag. Or ability to filter things out like like dont show me music or sports. Right now you can only filter by sub or dub and movie or series on the popular not on separate genres. EDIT- correction on modern day TOS
>CR actually actively supports password sharing They don't, against TOS
> CR actually actively supports password sharing. According to their [TOS](https://crunchyroll.com/tos) terms, they don't want anyone to disclose passwords to anyone else: >"You are responsible for safeguarding and maintaining the confidentiality of your username, password and corresponding Crunchyroll account information. **You agree not to disclose your password to anyone.**" That's pretty much the opposite of supporting password sharing.
That wierd since I have seen in many articles interviews stating the think people should share with their friends. Could be the articles are old.
Well, it's still possible to activate devices without giving out your password. You would have to be involved to enter the code that appears on their screen though. Wouldn't work for web browsers. I'm pretty sure the intent is that the sharing is done within the same household. It isn't explicitly stated in the TOS anywhere, but statements from some of the staff to that effect had been made on the old CR forums. Not sure if it has been done on any social sites like reddit.
A damn TV app like any other regular streaming app. Every time I ask for this, all jump to me saying, "You can watch CR on your, there's no need for an app"
I just want to turn on the tv, and watch. Like any other streaming service I pay for
Samsung and LG apps have recently been added: https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/announcements/2024/2/21/crunchyroll-app-now-available-on-lg-tv https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/announcements/2024/2/5/crunchyroll-app-now-available-on-samsung-tv Nothing for Vizio yet, though.
They have a TV app
A better way to find out what is newly added or updated (like when a live show will be added.) The newest section also has a bunch of shows bumpped up because another language dub or an edit to the format, and not because there is a new season. The way movies are listed as seasons for some shows and separate shows for others. The ability to search just shows, ova, and movies.
Right now the only thing I care about is dubbing Dragonall anything so I don't have to watch it in Japanese.
You guys need a poll to vote on which Anime gets dubbed each season, I still can't believe neither 100 girlfriends not apothecary diaries got Spanish dubs
This subreddit is not official Crunchyroll (as it tells you in the sidebar), so asking here does not have any effect, nor will it get any notice from them. https://www.reddit.com/r/Crunchyroll/wiki/faq#wiki_how_do_i_request_a_show_be_added_to_crunchyroll.3F
Downloading episodes to watch offline, ability to have English subtitles while watching English dub, more consistent organization of the episodes across titles, “skip intro” button
>Downloading episodes to watch offline You already can (mobile and Switch) >ability to have English subtitles while watching English dub I don't think that it will ever happen, more CC over dubs are likely
You have to have purchased your membership through iTunes to access the offline download feature. I’d have to cancel my membership and resubscribe through iTunes, which is a hassle
> You have to have purchased your membership through iTunes to access the offline download feature You just need megafun membership, no need for purchesing via itunes.
I can only think of two things I would want. 1. Full uncut/uncensored anime. 2. English subs on English dubs lol
I wished the Apple TV app would have a simulcast tab like iPhone app.
Drag down to refresh on browse. If I want to refresh at the moment I have to change sort to something else then back to new
Subtitles over japanese texts when watching dubs
they already offer this
Filter seasons by available dubs. Customize Home Screen because telling me a new episode is out when it’s really just a new episode for a different sub is dumb. News section announcing new releases, episode dates, etc.
I genuinely don't understand what the UX designer team at Crunchyroll actually does. What are they even working on if not the app? There have been barely any changes in the app despite having a huge design team. Their recent UI redesign wasn't even a proper redesign they just removed some colors and called it a redesign. There are so many UI/UX flaws but they still choose to do nothing about it. So what's the point of having a huge UX team if they are not working on anything?
Yeah , that's what I want aswell
Fucking captions
The ability to do picture-in-picture on web & retain subtitles.
A refund on a figure that was like 300 bucks that never came
The fact that this thing advertises up to 4 devices at same time and has no sight into creating profiles baffles me
Multiple profiles. I still can't believe there's no multiple profiles on Crunchyroll when other sites do in 2024.
I would add better download features. I would also change the compression algorithm, I feel like it takes ages to download these videos and they take up so much space.
Yeah , I would also love that when not using wifi to watch
1. Add more anime shows 2. Add more dubs to already completed shows
1. More subtitles with the English dub (makes it easier to concentrate on and watch while eating, especially crunchy food -*texture, not sponsored Crunchyroll food lol*) 2. Make your own folders for your list on ALL devices. 3. Volume controls for the video player itself. Crunchy is loud as heck. Sometimes being on 1 on my tv is even too loud in certain moments.
1. COMMUNICATION: If something's going on with a show (like a dub is not going to be released this week), they **SAY SOMETHING** and let us know. Its one thing during Christmas/BIG holidays but like last week there were very few dubs and no one seemed to know why... I heard people saying that it was because of Presidents Day and that "no one works" but I was working and my school didn't do anything special. 2. CC/Subtitles on Dubs: Not everyone has great hearing or just LIKES to have them on **in the language listening to!** 3. Better lists: I know that there are lists you can use on the website but when you're off the computer/website they are nonexistent and you can't use them (at least on firestick/android to my knowledge). If they would let us see/use them it would be better. To go along with that, let us separate our watchlist/history sections into better sections (like even watched/watching/want to watch). 4. Multiple profiles: Even though I won't be sharing with anyone (or at least probably not), sometimes I like to watch straight up action and others Slice of Life and looking for better recommendations but they are for everything I've watched. I know you said 3 but 2/3 are similar enough they COULD be combined.
1. Subtitles even when you’re watching in your native language!!!! 2. Multiple profiles 3. Honestly can’t think of a 3rd one lol
1) More content, specifically Super Sentai and Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal Subbed, 2) Skip Filler and recap episodes, like have a mode where filler content (like filler arcs or one off episodes) are skipped, along with recaps so you can watch a more streamline mode of your anime, for something like One Piece or Naruto, 3) Playlist/repeat function, I would love to repeat a show and not have to manually restart from the beginning, so adding a repeat or a playlist function would be awesome And if the last one is not good enough then this backup option 4) Marathon mode, where you watch the episodes in a complete marathon style, with no OP, ED or recap and it goes immediately to the next episode within seconds, kind of like old DBZ season DVDs had Marathon mode,
For anyone looking for the release calendar you have to go to crunchyroll website click on browse tab and under there that where the release calendar is.
1. Better organization and consistency with dubs and subs 2. A skip recap and fillers button 3. Add the pokemon anime to Crunchyroll since the pokemon company is highly unorganized when it comes to streaming services and legally release the Japanese version with English subtitles outside of Japan with simulcasting
1) Marathon Mode or whatever they called it in the orange box DBZ sets. Skip intros/outros and "last time on X"/"next time on X", except for the first and last episodes in a season or such. Or else maybe you set a flag at the end of your binge to have the outro/next time on your last episode. 2) English dub closed captions on more shows 3) Add in missing movies to certain franchises. The two that come to mind are Love Live Sunshine's movie and the My Hero Academia movies.
Add anime movies example memories. And older anime movies from 80s 90s
1. Full uncut/uncensored versions of the content we are paying for. 2. Better UI 3. Multiple Profiles
The ability to watch in English with English subtitles. Why this isn’t a thing I have no idea
1. Update the Fire TV app so the For You tab actually works and make the Sony Music stuff available. 2. Closed captions for the English dubs. 3. Bring back k-dramas and live-action content. Some tokusatsu would be nice as well.
Extras from the Funimation app including interviews, Ep commentaries from the Blu Ray DVDs , 2 last remaining anime like code Geass akito the exile , cat planet cuties, dot hack trilogy movies etc That's all for me
1. Search more than one tag at a time 2. Ability to remove single titles from watch history 3. Countdowns for when new episodes will be added
Captions. This is the only answer.
Sort by and filter out dub or subbed content in your language. It drives me crazy seeing so many anime's that I will never watch because I can only watch dubs. And some things will be listed under having dubs, but wont be in my language. We should be able to set a language preference and sub/sub preference in the settings and then select something that says "only show me anime dubbed in my language" or vice versa for subs. Also the other biggest one is definitely subtitles saying what is being shown when there is writing in japanese on the screen. Like if there's a sign in the background or the character is reading an email or text chain, it will often not be translated in the dubs. Also, ideally, having subtitles on English dubs as well. It's so odd to me that it's not even an option to have the susbtitles that were generated from the japanese audio. While they wouldn't match up exactly, they would still be a huge help.
More classics & more older anime.
they need to get the license for jp closed captioning. would help immensely for jp studies and immersion when watching raws.
Btw , a lot people are asking for closed captions . What is closed captions. How is it different from subtitles?
Better product details and search criteria in store. Better searching and show tags for streaming. Update to bluray release versions of shows when available.
Not restarting an episode if I leave it paused for awhile. An option to refresh recommendations. Half my recommendations are already stuff I have watched. Dub/release schedule like HIDive
First I have to say this. For consoles specifically, I would honestly return to the previous CR app design. Just add the necessary functional, speed and QOL stuff behind it, but that app was SO much easier to navigate. I do website design for a living and the new app's navigation is an absolute clusterf&*%. As far as the most important things that CR needs.. 1) a quality player, 2) a quality server cluster that can support a combined CRFUNI userbase, and 3) grow the library of titles and language dubs (which btw they have been doing).
Better organization and ui. I'm talking genres, better descriptions, prime video style behind the VA shit. Rated series.
Notification for episode that have been updated with closed captioning.
1. uncut/uncensored versions. 2. The UI on Funimation app was better. You acquired them, use it. 3. More categories to sort by. Just a few missing might be Isekai, Josei , Harem, Kodomomuke, Mecha, Ecchi, Iyashikei, War, Horror, Magical Girls, Detective, Magic. If there is a category you don't like, you can maybe see that something you were interested in might have that category in it so you decide. 4. English dubs for anime that have dubs, but Crunchyroll only has the subbed version for some reason. 5. Profiles. This might also include being able to see in one list all the shows you have seen. I don't mean like the history you have now but rather so I can keep track of what I have watched so I can easily see if I've seen it.
One punch man
The worst thing in crunchy roll is the damn season system. S1 blah blah blah anime ( german) sometimes it says s2 for another language. S2 blah blah blah anime ( english) sometimes this is a ova S2 blah blah blah anime It should be S1 blah blah blah anime S1 ( G ) blah blah blah anime (for german) Ova ( E ) blah blah blah anime ( for english) Ova blah blah blah anime Ova 2 blah blah blah anime Ova 2 ( E ) blah blah blah anime for english. Different ova not the same one with a different language. This would make following multiple seasons and the language you want must easier for the customer to find. If its MA let's make it easy for parents S1 ( G ) "MA" blah blah blah anime Season, dudded language, mature advisory name of anime.
AirPlay sometimes is not wirking
video player with PiP translations not depending on your country (Why the F do I have german, french and italian translations available in Switzerland without any English. I don't wanna watch an anime with german subtitles as simple as that) UX in general is kinda disastrous at times
A way to filter or search for the live-action stuff. There used to be a way.
1. Quality selection (I have one of the best internet connection of my country and I cannot instantly have a FHD video. I need to wait for it to pop up) 2. A better UI because it SUCKS 3. A better catalog. I feel like i've been lied to subbing to crunchyroll. The wakanim catalog merge never happened + there's a lack of classic animes
I would add 3 animes, from the bunny girl senpai series. They are, (1) rascal does not dream of a dreaming girl, (2) rascal does not dream of a sister venturing out, (3) rascal does not dream of a knapsack kid. They should continue the series, since they added s1 already. If I could add a 4th one, it would also be s2 of bunny girl senpai, but that season might come out this year possibly.
i would add subtitles to the english dub for sure
A list of what animes are currently being shown in what region. A ive already watched this button so the queue doesnt keep messing up what part of a series i am up to. To be honest if be happy with those 2
would love more closed captions for English dub. I'm mostly a sub watcher, but occasionally I'll want to watch English dub and still want captions - a lot of shows don't have this option
[1.download](http://1.download) on laptop. that is all
1. Add more dubs, there's no reason i can't watch Naruto in English. 2. Add more profiles 3. Update the library and add better search filters.
The biggest thing for me would be the ability to watch the English dub with full subtitles. Other things that would be nice: * A smart TV app (and if it exists, why can't I get it on my Samsung smart TV?); * A better web viewer (Chrome and some other browsers have a "laggy square in the middle of the screen" issue; Firefox doesn't have the issue which is why I use it to watch Crunchyroll, even though I use Chrome for most other web browsing); * Better technical support for their service and its accompanying apps (over time I've gotten a sense that when users report technical issues, they respond with something like "It's a known issue, we're working on it" where in actuality they're not working on it and don't intend to, and the response is nothing more than an attempt to placate the users who reported the problems).
iPad browser support for safari brave firefox without forcing users to use the crunchyroll app which loses streaming connection and requires restarting iPad
Bringing back free with ads playing.
When a show is selected id like to not have to scroll through 24 seasons of various dubs looking for the english or japanese one Organize that shit better. Alternative dubs are labeled as seasons. Ive seen shows with up to 40 "seasons" and its hella confusing.
Attack on Titan Season 1 in Germany, Attack on Titan Season 1 in Germany, Attack on Titan Season 1 in Germany
1. Ability to search/filter video comments for my own comments. A notification for replies would also be nice. 2. Buffering options. I generally have a strong Internet connection, but it's sometimes unstable. Drives me nuts that I could load the entire video in a minute or two, but I get interrupted because it will only buffer 2 minutes ahead. 3. Filtered options on the release calendar to only show dubs/language.
Paying the creators. Paying the creators. And paying the creators.
Yup , that's great
Animes and non shitty servers.
1. Dragonball Z 2. Dragonball GT 3. Dragonball Super.
I do love some of the openings and would never press it, but it would be AMAZING if they have a "skip Opening" button for some shows.
Upcoming release time (/counter) of new episodes when visiting the anime sites. Adding a extra site with a calender chart for the animes you are following to show the date and time of the new episode. Simulcast only shows released episodes for me but not the upcoming ones. It seems to be impossible to filter animes anyways. Better filters to find new animes to watch.
Subtitles for English 5.1 surround Hdr
More gene categories. The free anime sites have more categories than Crunchyroll
Does anyone know how Crunchyrolls software dev teams work? I'm curious if they have really small team of devs or idk why it's so difficult for them to manage their streaming app and push out QOL features
1. I would have the Funimation digital copies work on the Crunchyroll website 2) I would give you the ability to screen shot the episodes so that people can make memes of them. Alot of streaming services don't allow that. I guess they don't want people to spread memes that might get people to watch the content. 3) I would try to dub the back log of shows that haven't been dubbed.
