Until a year ago I was appalled by just how badly Crunchyroll treated its subscribers. For 2 years in a row prices where increased and yet the broken promises kept coming. Management had put a total freeze on technology investment and it showed. However, I imagine as part of their major push to maximise their sale price to Sony, finally that much needed technology investment went ahead. We got a brand new app for all platforms. The website is currently in beta testing with US customers and overall feedback has been positive. The only last major embarrassment is there continual avoidance of the worst piece of c..p app I’ve ever used - the Crunchyroll Manga app. The only way it works is to install it, use it once then it’s broken, so u have to delete and reinstall it. As for content, now that’s where things have had a huge & I mean huge push. Crunchyroll had always been famous for having the most simulcasts each season (at one point it was 50 shows!) but now ore still a respectable 30-40 shows except now the number of dubbed shows has skyrocketed. Not only that they now dub in languages other than English (totally awesome move) - there’s Russian, German, Italian, Spanish, French, and more to come for sure. Nice those countries finally being cared about by the big players in anime. Maybe Netflix helped that shift but still Crunchyroll followed and it’s brilliant. BTW in my opinion the subscription is so worth it but not everyone agrees with me on that. If you can handle a free adverts then Crunchyroll’s 800+ library of anime series and movies is a real score (plus you don’t have to worry about malware & viruses like u do watching on pirated anime streaming sites, let alone the fact that the creators of anime need that revenue to get paid. Hopefully one day perhaps they’ll actually be paid properly unlike now.
