“We prioritize creating a safe and respectful community environment” you can’t have a community if your community can’t express their thoughts on your website.

That's what I think too.
“We priorities creating a safe and respectful community environment”...that sound awfully similar to a large country in the east...🤭
Exactly!
* prioritize
It's like Crunchyroll is begging us to start pirating anime🏴☠️
The irony is clearly lost on crunchyroll.
@@BurnedOutWeebyou can watch math lessons, and some anime on the hub.
I never stopped. I tried to use Crunchyroll once. Awful experience.
They dont even to
"start" 💀
"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem,"
"If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable." - Gabe Newell
this is litterally manga lmao
@@watchonjarwell, not only.
I do not live in the USA, so for me “region-locked content”is nothing unusual.
Not so long ago, I wanted to rewatch Slayers anime. It was on Funimation. Now with it being shutdown, it supposed to come in Crunchyroll… and yet it is not there.
Why? Ehm, because.
I legally can’t watch the anime - I’m forced to use VPN to access most content holders which is already “fun” -and not I can’t do that.
That’s just one example, - an old anime that I love for its charm, - but a lot of content get permalost because owners and acquisitiors can’t bother to keep it available EVEN WHEN YOU PURCHASE IT.
So, with a heavy heart and a steady hand, I’m setting sails and raising up the flag.
And he's fucking right. I still buy steam games despite liking physical more. Steam offers a good service.
I was just going to make this comment. I don't care if I have to pay a bit, I just want to watch all the animus.
That's pretty much the reality. I love anime so I've tried supporting every avenue of access I can. So for years now i have actually paid for every anime subscription service I know of, which does get a bit pricey, but my hope was doing that would help encourage even more services and options. That said I know for a fact that there are tons of great products that are in limbo, inaccessible from any of the legal forms of service. so if you want to watch them, that leaves only 2 choices. Purchase them which often becomes unrealistically expensive or even flat out impossible. The 2nd option is to pirate it.
This is one subject I CAN NOT fully support the companies that provide the content because they simply do not put the effort into reaching the fans what I mean is they don't if dozens of titles suddenly become lost, impossible to watch. They don't care if access from entire regions or specific places vanish. They only seem to care that money is rolling in for whatever they toss down. Like a thief or dealer that says this is what I got right now so it's all you get.
Pirate sites on the other hand, ironically seem to understand the concept of good service brings back customers. They make titles easy to search for and find, making everything available in one nice, clean, and organized package that doesn't dick you around or waste your time.
That's the worst part, anime fans ARE actually willing to pay and usually quit well for the content they love so much because we do have an emotional attachment to it. The pirate sites seem to understand this and take steps to bridge the gaps and remove road blocks. Until the companies that provide anime actually learn they don't simply sell to a consumer but rather offer services to devoutly fans that's never going to change.
Personally I always felt that was the saddest part, that pirates, the "criminals", act like they care for the gans MORE than the companies that sell to and rely on for their own well being. Until that changes they will be stuck competing for all the wrong reasons.
I rarely left comments on episodes, but I sure did love reading them. Other people's thoughts on an episode were sometimes insightful or hilarious.
The deletion of Funimation libraries, the absorption of RightStuf, the High Guardian Spice debacle, constant glitching/crashing when big episodes drop, AI translations, and now finally deleting the comment section because they are too lazy/cheap to moderate it. And as all these issues have made the platform worse, they've only increased their prices
You forgot they yeeted their manga library too
The AI translations aren't a problem because too many woke weirdos who're not even doing their job right
True. But is AI really the answer? Really? 🤨
Brought to you by Sony.
Funny cause the pirate sites have comments and moderation lol
The pirate hat is becoming more and more powerful as crunchyroll gets more and more power hungry.
It's calling you like the green goblin mask
Grab that straw hat and hold onto it real tight.
that's a great way to say it ngl
Plenty of sites out there that have everything, just disable popups
I rarely looked at anime comment section, partially to avoid spoilers. However sometimes i look at comments if I'm on the fence about starting a anime or manga and it's caused me to start and enjoy plenty of anime that i likely wouldn't have started otherwise.
Find a lot of hidden gems especially some animes I was on the fence about watching because of the cringe
Or to talk to certain people. I made a couple of friends in the comment section
Thats kinda dumb considering how much of the comments is just spoilers. Just watch trailers.
Crunchyroll should have a rat as their mascot bruh they betray everyone so much
So… Shanks?
I knew I would find this comment.@@masterpink6963
Shanks as the mascot?
But rats are super cute :C
No a rat with a big hooked nose and a small hat.
If it wasnt for the comment section i wouldnt have some anime on my watchlist
and they removed it
I got my anime mostly from youtube & twitter.
wait how can they want to promote a "safe and respectful community" if they are removing the community?
“Create a wasteland and call it peace.”
It's like a brain trying to function without neurons...
Real ones will miss CrazyYandereWitch and her comments on nearly every single new episode
Bro I loved the comment section on Crunchyroll, it helped getting questions answered, the opinions of others and infos I wouldn´t have known otherwise! Made me cancel my Subscription actually, what a miss, they should add it back immediately.
I will cancel my subscription the day before renewal
I loved to see what other people think of an anime
For real. They removed their community by taking out the comments. I liked the comments too when i was having a hard time understanding I'd scroll thru n find out no more lol
@@corradoalamanni179 You get to keep it until your renewal date if you cancel.....not that it matters since I wanted my episodes watched tracked for the season so I just switched it all despite my membership being active for another week still. I cancelled the day they took the comments away.
At this point, we’re all gonna be pirates trying to find the one piece😂
Facts 🤣🤣
The One Piece is a Streaming Platform with no Region Locks, great translations, and has every anime to choose from 😅
Amazing sentence.
Such a shame since thats the only way to watch certain anime...
Yes! Pirates life for me! Arg!!@@DXDragon38
Considering crucnhyroll doesn't even have some of the features pirate sites have, the comments were the only reason to use crunchyroll. Especially when it doesnt have a shit load of anime
It has a lot, but it's very specific now that in it's message of, "We do occasional shonen series, but mainly Isekai or Slice of Life Romances."
They think that they have enough casual fans that they don't need the hardcore fans anymore and while the casual anime fan (who likes anime enough to watch, but not enough to do anything more than just watch) is a real person who exists in decent numbers, the problem is that somebody like that is unlikely to subscribe to Crunchyroll. They probably watch their anime on Netflix since they already have it.
1:02 "Speaking Negatively" is not really the case here, you are just critiquing their choices, which is a valid opinion to express. If they wouldn´t get feedback from their users, they couldn´t improve their plattform. If they ignore the opinions of their users, they will loose them to pirating or a plattform, which are fullfilling the needs of anime watchers. I myself liked about Crunchyroll, that it was reliable at first, you had your own Watchlist, a comment section under every episode, and you could sort somewhat the animes in their relative genre and they showed which new animes got added in the new seasons, which helped me a lot actually.
Atp Crunchyroll is just advertising piracy sites cause what the fuck 😭
Wait, what if that was the plan all along?
Crunchyroll a former Pirating site gains recognition as a legitimate streaming site, but in reality was undermining the entire Streaming industry from the inside, sabotaging services that make money and compelling everyone to pirate shows.

I don’t ever comment on Crunchyroll but I love reading them and seeing what others point out I missed or things we all thought was cool/funny etc…
Will miss it
Go to pirate streaming sites, they still got comments.
Also because fuck crunchy roll, fuck funimation and fuck sony, stop giving them your money.
Sony buying Crunchy roll was the beginning of all the bull shit
I agree I think its more a Sony thing, not so much crunchys but not everyone realize that..
I quit the moment _High Guardian Spice_ existed.
Not even an anime 💀
@@aarongallardo3684 Pokémon is better at naming characters based on plants. Rosemary, sage, parsley, and thyme are not spices. Even then, Pokémon has already been in decline as early as going to full-3D. Ex-Arm even looks hideous that no video game would look like that.
@@aarongallardo3684 Not even well made.
They were definitely high making that show.
I decided to unsubscribe to Crunchyroll because they removed the comments not just for a single episode of an anime, but for everything around this site as well.
I am starting to get tempted into going back to the origins of their site. I did not actually know that was their origin, ironic.
Jeez in the last 12 months so much has changed, Im worried if it can get worse in the next 12
Loved to see the comments on one piece with people saying "finally reached the weekly".
I know ita dumb but nade me happy
Tbf Asmongold said he watched Crunchyroll on his playstation and most playstation apps don't support commenting features. For example you can't read and write comments via youtube as well if you watch it on a playstation. Same for crunchyroll, so no wonder he didn't know this existed.
Me seeing anime in third party site and having no problem lol😂
Where do you get your anime fix from?
@@Youll_Love_It_At_Levitz Nice try FBI 😂
"Third party" like a legal one...or not so much...?
i wish these sides had comments but its better without because people like to spoiler without warning.
@@altname4742 Mission failed! We'll get them next time 😅
Brother that comment of when you had to type "Clannad episode 10 part 3" on the early days of youtube just reminded me of a forgotten memory, I watched one piece on youtube just like that on those days lmao
I'm glad I canceled it! I kept on resuming my subscription but copyrighting fan art, AI subs and removing comments is the last straw for me! Netflix Japan with a VPN is a better IMO.
The comments section was often one of the best parts of watching a series on CR. I still remember watching Samurai Flamenco week to week and going over all of the theories about Goto's Girlfriend all the way up to the reveal. Those were wild times. Now we can't even go back and reflect on them.
Yoo Hoo, All Hands. Hoist the Colors High.
5:20 lol same... those were the days
It'd be nice if they actually put the year/genre and studio on in the description. Pirate sites do it..
Crunchyroll needs to get their shit together.
So that the garbage truck can collect them all at once and be done with them?
They got bought by Sony along with all the other Anime platforms. They aren't going to do anything.
Naive to suggest that there is any company culture or values remaining at Crunchyroll from it’s pirate origin days. Those people long ago cashed out or were driven out.
But absolutely true that the decision was probably due to moderation cost as well as fears of liability without moderation. These decisions are likely made by the CEO and CFO, who I doubt even watch any of the content.

I've kept my Crunchyroll subscription 'cause I sometimes use my consoles to stream it through my TV. But lately I've been thinking about canceling it, grabbing a super long HDMI cable and using it to connect my TV to my Laptop
Not to mention the biggest appeal to the pirate sites and stuff is the fact that it's uncensored anime and you get all the anime you can ever want on one platform instead of multiple platforms if you want to watch different anime.
it's easier to silence than consider the other side.
Why does anyone expect anything from Sony at this point?
Since Sony came in the mix, they ruined everything that made Crunchyroll a "decent" service.
Thanks for keeping it real
man this is the first time I caught your video within a minute
Chibi what are your thoughts on the new bleach trailer 😊
AMAZING
I never used it but I always looked at it as I thought the convos were either interesting or out right hilarious. Sometimes I wanted to be spoiled. I also liked quickly scrolling down and seeing that there was another season coming out for a show that just ended.
The comments alone got me doubting why should I even continue my subscription, then they proceeded to remove some anime with no warning and increasing prices same time. No wonder why ppl pirate anime.
I saw this coming for YEARS! I've been a long time user of the site and the amount of things that's been removed over the years showed me that they were turning into Netflix. I missed when Crunchyroll had its message boards.
Don’t care about the comments, but I’m pissed the stuff I was watching on Funimation was never transferred despite Crunchyroll’s promises. And AI subtitling is unforgivable.
it's evolving, but backwards. That's what happen when you sell your soul to big corps.
My most recent comment was to ask for suggestions on the current season. The response I got was to check out "My Deer Friend" and that was a good suggestion.
The issues lay with sony they bought it they changed it the crunchyroll staff we knew aren't in charge any more this is a main reason. When a big corporate become a monopoly
They essentially deleted iconic history and Community with this business cut-throat move. Glad a big streamer is also talking about this.
with the comments section on CR removed i find myself scrolling down after each show i watch and being reminded its not there anymore. i can always watch these shows on "other" sites and i find myself wondering why i should give them my money anymore? i'm not coming up with many reasons other than the watchlist because i don't want to register on those sites but the CR watchlist is so jank its a headache too!
Solar69 if you’re reading this I miss seeing you in the dub comments buddy! Hope you’re doing well!
Sad times man
as long as exclusive and regional licensing are legal there's no chance any official service will bother with quality or UX, that'll just monopolize a popular show and that's all they need to do to get money
Ah, I can already hear the anakin/obi wan meme in my head just looking at crunchyroll right now.
At every anime site there is those few people that everyone talks to. Those few people that respond and love to read the opinions of that person. And it sad people lost that.
I miss the comments. I was watching ep 2 of tower and wanted to see what the anime onlies were saying and enjoying. That was when it really sunk in how it was gone.
I've also been watching anime since the early 2000's when everything was fan subbed and took weeks to release so I would watch it raw through torrenting. I've been watching most of my anime since, through pirating and probably always will for as long as I can 😄👍
we may not like what crunchyroll, but who else are you going to move to? Netflix anime? There is no other anime distribution anywhere.
I don't care about comment sections. Running one is probably a huge PITA and very labor intensive--very few other streaming services do it. MAL is probably a far better place to consolidate commentary, as well as reviews.
Also, when you say "CR" remember that you are really saying "Funimation" as they are the ones running it now. They just took over the branding.
I rarely if ever looked at the comment section but if they’re going to increase pricing and remove utilities then that’s given me even more reason to cancel it 😂
9:15 Or, when you're looking at a new anime, wondering if you should watch it, you get a few episodes in only to find out that it's yet another harem anime. Being able to quickly look at reviews is the biggest thing for me.
When I want to talk about anime. I use discord & sometimes youtube. I pirate a lot of anime content and a lot of pirate sites has comment sections.
For anyone interested, Tomb Raider King and The World After the Fall has gotten anime confirmation, both done by Korean Studio EEK!!!
Asmon commenting on the comments, without commenting in the comments seems fitting.
Yup, searching Naruto Ep 28/3 español, good times. The spanish subs were always released sooner.
One thing I liked about Crunchyroll was the chat. It creates a social environment, which is different from pirating it and watch it yourself.
Remember that there is no Crunchyroll anymore, well where it matters anyway. Sony bought Crunchyroll and Funimation plus most the other legal streaming sites in the west a year or two ago. So every decision is now made by the behemoth that is Sony. In other words Sony owns anime outright in the west. Not to mention has fingers in tons of anime studios in Japan too, then there's gaming where it would not be an exaggeration to say they pretty much own most of that too. Just say'n, the old Crunchyroll is relic of the past, the only thing that remains the same about Crunchyroll is it's name.
Before the internet and early internet days, I used to go to New York City or Philadelphia's Chinatown to get fansubs. I stopped using Crunchyroll many months ago due to too many crashes, site being down and other technical issues (before the translation issues being exposed).
Ngl I still plan on paying my monthly subscription. I don’t want any viruses from random sites
Use Ublock and you will be fine if you are streaming. If you are downloading - figure it out, it is easy.
Learn how to use Windows Sandbox or a virtual machine.
Tell me you don't know how websites work without telling me:
Pirating anime is so much easier and in alot of cases better than watching on cruchyroll or whats not + after cruchyroll stopped the free episodes i completely stopped using it i see no point. What made crunchroll crunchyroll is not cruchroll theres no more crunch to put it easy
I've been a Crunchyroller for over 18 years. Witnessing its decline is heartbreaking. The community was already butchered since the systematic takedown of the forums and member profiles. Removing comments is one thing but removing reviews is a catastrophic blunder.
They didn't even make an announcement when they took comments/reviews down. How are the people paying for their service supposed to trust that the company will not take more things away to "protect" users. It's so dumb. They literally sell manga that have nudity in them, and I'm pretty sure some of the characters depicted aren't adults. How are they going to deal with that? Probably nothing, since it makes them money.
They closed the comments on IG too
I don't know Crunchyroll has a comments section on episodes, maybe on the Playstation app it was not available or I'm just very clueless.
I might be wrong but I don't thinks it's a big problem they removed comments, but thats just my point of view.
At least for German anime fans you could count on seeing some the same people commenting and discussing in the comments to each episode of certain anime genres.
I haven't been subscribed for about a year. I think when they got rid of the message boards last year that they were always planning on getting rid of comments and were just waiting for an excuse they could use if anyone asked
I have a crunchyroll account, but i have to pirate some series because there is no legal way to watch them on my country, and if crunchyroll stops being better than the piracy option drop it doesnt looks that bad
I mostly read comments after some episodes, but in the last two months I started posting some comments too so it was so stupid. I am definitely gonna find alternatives after my yearly sub expires.
I don’t really think commenters are necessarily the biggest supporters if anything they are probably more fickle because they are so intrenched in the anime fan community and such hold Crunchyroll to a higher standard than others.
if they keep banning content and now using Ai as subs, they re gonna drive away everyone from their site and back to the shadow sites. I still think most people use them though, as aside from everything with their prices other parts of the world might be even less afortable. I think also with companies and all trying to use Ai as subs, is gonna bring back those fan subs from back in the day. I kinda miss them sometimes, we used to even get subs on the op and ed as well, which now we dont get at all.
Mushoku Tensei season 2 episode 23 english dubbed missed up. It was when roxy was speaking and mentioned the five of them living together but mentioned eris instead of Lilian. So please check it out, Chibi and community. Please let crunchyroll know 🙏 i tried myself, so i guess the more the marry wouldn't hurt.
I am really still PISSED off when thay bought out Funamation and STOLE 15 of my Digital Copies that I owned !!!!!!!
I’m not a hardcore person with anime, but I do love it and enjoy seeing what other people think about shows. What they did by getting rid of comments is basically playing destiny on anime. They will only lose subs with this…
Yes, I do sail the high seas everyday. But can you blame me after all of this things that are being pointed out.
5:56 Yes. It will also grow even more now after all of this.
MOre than the purely monetary part, it just removes complexity of their operations.
this goes both ways.
they want to protect anime from being pirated, but, they will swindle their customers out of it, too.
It's time for the GREAT PIRATE ERA
I like taking screenshots of funny comments, can’t do that anymore on crunchyroll 😢
After what they did to poor Vic Mignogna I'm not surprised at all
Y’all are PAYING for this??? 😅
1:01 Thank you Chibi. And of course, the big anitubers will defend/stay quiet about this. We know whos the actual traitors in the anime community.
I've been commenting on every video covering this topic that I come across to help the algorithm push it.
The only real way to fix this is to not just complain, but to be willing to drop our subscriptions. I've been subscribed to Crunchyroll for over 10 years, but as of now my subscription is cancelled, and if user comments are not restored I will not be giving any more of my money to Crunchyroll. I was watching my anime on pirate sites before I found Crunchyroll, and I'll go back to that now. I'll just buy the blurays for shows that I like, which is a more direct way of supporting the industry anyways.
What's really bad about this situation though, is that as far as I know, Crunchyroll is pretty much the defacto distributor of anime since they bought out Rightstuf a while back. I'll still buy blurays through them if I have to, but if I can find another decent seller I'll go there instead. At the very least I'm not going to support Crunchyroll's streaming platform if they're going to be this disrespectful to their customer base.
This is completely selfish, I fully admit. I avoid their comment section. I don't want to see any spoilers for the anime I'm watching. Moderation will cost Crunchyroll money. The moderation will cause accounts to be banned, which will cost Crunchyroll more money. The audience will pay this bill. I'd rather them not increase the price further than they already are for a function I don't use.
The one part that Asmondgold brings up though that is inexcusable is the discontinuation of the reviews. That is unacceptable. I am going to continue using it. I don't trust piracy sites on my gaming PC. At least until I find a good anime site that allows Japanese subtitles and audio
They wouldn't even need moderators if they allowed you to opt out of genres and hide titles. It's not like anyone would intentionally watch a genre they don't like and then b*tch about it.
And remember folks, CR started out as pirate translators (fansub group) themselves. Look how far they have fallen...
Crunchyroll disabling comments is such a disrespect to anime fans, me and others used the comment section to see what people though about the episode and have a discussion about it, i was never disrespectful to anyone, also they have big problems with their subtitles getting stuck or non-existing
I haven't cared about crunchyroll for a while it's kind of mad how much controversy they've gotten themselves into that I'm only finding out about now
