What do you do with crunchyroll points

Tip for consumers: That there catalogue of dubbed animes is literally bloody trash. Ordered 2 t-shirts and a keychain on Crunchyroll at the start of August It is early September as of writing this review and the small shipment still isn't anywhere to be seen. Avoid this business at all costs. Their customer service is slow to reply, and offers no explanation or even an apology for the lackluster service. Like the title suggests, Crunchyroll has several critical flaws in a streaming service, the first and foremost is that the videos either don't play, buffer so much you want to claw your eyeballs out, or the quality swings from p to p.

Tip for consumers: Stop putting up this and go to some other streaming service that actually cares. Crunchyroll is a great app since you can watch almost every single anime in the world, but the only problem is the adds.

Sometimes you get 6 adds at the same time, its annoying but you get use to it after a while. If you really don't want adds you should get premium. Another thing is I wanted to watch the last episode of MHA but I couldn't because you had to have premium to watch it, and that kind of annoyed me. When you watch series it pops you out of fullscreen between episodes. And that is really neat to have so I can keep track of what I watch. Edit: They almost don't have any of the animes dubbed in English.

There are German and Russian sometimes tho. I bought a preorder for February release and its July and there still no word and it just keeps getting delayed with every new date. Every preorder figure i get is delayed and they used covid as an excuse but they did this before covid even happened. It is an excellent website for anime lovers but i only wish they had more English dubbed anime versions of the anime that i like.

Never had any problems, it's a high quality service that's worth every penny. The timing of the ads ruin the experience of the show you're watching, there's no warning they just pop up out of nowhere and they're very long. And sometimes the whole thing would just freeze for no reason and I had to reload it. I have been a premium subscriber for several years now. I got Crunchyroll for the manga more than the anime for a variety of reasons.

Now that the main browsers have stopped supporting Flash, Crunchyroll insists on using Flash as the manga reader. I actually got a comment back from support when I asked.

They said, basically, "We are aware of the problem but have no plans to change the platform. This isn't the first time I had a problem with their customer service. The last time was over a year ago when I asked a simple question about gift passes never use them and was curious about how they were being offered and received this nasty response from the agent. I didn't really care at the time. This time, it was about money so I'm more than a little annoyed.

My yearly pass was to be renewed but I received an email stating that the charge didn't go through. I figured it must be an expired card, went onto the site and could not find a way to recharge the bill. I contacted customer service with the issue and asked for help. The customer service agent gets back to me and says she has reset my account as she noticed an issue in the system.

I was told to wait 24 hours before trying anything. I waited and now I could not add a card to the system no matter what I did. The system would give me errors ranging from "invalid card number" to "you cannot have a second free trial in a single billing cycle". So I reply to my ticket email and state the issues. I receive a reply that they are having issues charging cards and she has granted me 14 free days and to use this new link link.

She then closes the ticket and I receive a survey email. This is where the problems really start. Previously, I received an email from Crunchyroll stating that I would be grandfathered for my previous pricing.

I explain this to the customer service rep and am told "well because your card wouldn't charge, you'll have to pay the new price" and she went on talking about how they never raised their prices in all these years never mind the fact that the service was overpriced for most of those years based off of content and quality of service.

I respond stating that I checked my card and it wasn't expired nor was there anything wrong with it. Basically, because their system screwed up, I now have to pay more. It's either that or this is by design to get you to pay the new price. In either case, sending out an email with a price structure and then changing it is fraud. So at this point, I have yet to get a response and I probably won't. That leaves me with complaining to my state's government.

I know that won't do anything for me personally, but at least it will put some notice out there. As predicted, Funimation and Crunchyroll had been vying for licenses to new shows each season by often becoming involved in the productions to help secure the simulcast streaming rights.

In the long term, though, the Sony-Crunchyroll deal has the potential to shrink the number of, and budgets of, future anime productions. But given the valuation of the acquisition, and the growth of the market over the last few years, it seems likely new players will step in to fill the spots once occupied by Funimation and Crunchyroll production committees.

While sometimes Crunchyroll does not seem to listen, they do take notice of which anime the fans wish for the most. For example, last year, fans wanted the classic remake of Fruits Basket to be on the catalog, and they complied.

They even worked together with the manhwa creator of Tower of God to make it come to life in Spring and are working to create more anime for the fans. While Crunchyroll does have some classic anime, their catalog is more tended toward modern and hot upcoming anime such as Sword Art Online or One Piece being some of the most popular anime on their website.

Granted, although the most popular anime on the website is because of the fans who watch it, this fact does not change. Funimation has classic anime like Future Diary and Black Butler for your viewing pleasure. So, if you are in the mood to go back to the past, Funimation is your go-to pick. This one is subjective, but fans of both have come to a quite solid consensus that Crunchyroll's queue design is better than Funimation's. While both Crunchyroll and Funimation have a queue system as well as an app, Crunchyroll has the upper hand.

You can organize each anime you watch by most recent or any order you want, and they tell you when each episode of an anime has been released. Everything is automatically organized by the most popular.

You can also organize anime by each season and any genre you like. When you log in to Crunchyroll on your computer or open up the app on your phone, you can immediately stream whatever anime you like without too much hassle. But if you want to know more about the anime you picked, the only thing they provide you with is a short description.

On the other hand, Funimation will tell you a lot more about the anime you have picked to watch. Cupquake said: ur trolling right? Cant i just add days to my entries and say that i have watched it? This sounds like a fun idea, but is horrible in practice.

Signature removed. Seems like another way to increase ones epeen. Sounds sort of like a freemium game. Cupquake said: marriage said: No no no, clubs will cost points to create and maintain monthly. Why on earth would I pay when there are other sites doing what mal does for free? It's just a list site, it doesn't offer you anything else really.

This would shove away many, many users lowering ad revenue and promote spammers. It could become an elite page at some point and I'd be glad I wouldn't be in it :v. Cupquake said: don't lie to me. It would also make you invincible from bans. Maffy said: Why on earth would I pay when there are other sites doing what mal does for free?
