How tf is it possible that there is no quality selector on tv app but there is one on pc and mobile. Why is it that on tv crunchyroll buffers so much ( and i checked my internet connection was fine ). Why tf there is still so many region locked content. I want to watch legend of galactic Heroes and not play games wondering which vpn if any will work if its still even on crunchyroll( it was ).
Also why cant i download episodes to watch offline on tv.

Thats my rant. Thank you all for listening. Have a good day.

    Because Crunchyroll has a basically monopoly position and has no real need to improve their core business. Instead they expand on other things like games

    I think there is some sort of memory leak for the fire tv stick one anyway. If you load another app after every episode it should cut down on the issue if its what I think it is. So I will watch an episode then watch like an epic npc man or some other 2 or 3 min youtube skit type of thing and then go back and watch another episode and back to youtube and whatnot. Yeah its dumb and I hope they fix it but that whats work for me.

    Their roku app is hot garbage, and there is just no excuse for it at this point. Their firetv app is significantly better.

    They’ve just gotten the mobile app past Funimation standards, so the TV app is probably going to take a while to upgrade, which sucks. Missing out on a lot of users

    As a side note question, I just realized it’s been a while since I looked through all the streaming options for Anime. I’m happy with CR at the moment but are there others I should consider? I like to reevaluate any subscriptions I have every year.

      Nah, after the merger with Funimation, they looks like monopoly in anime streaming. Aside of Netflix there is really no much choice. I could remember only RetroCrush, but they are in now way the competitors to Crunchyroll.

        There’s also HiDive (in the US), they don’t have nearly as big of a catalog as CR, but they do have some pretty big exclusives that are only on their platform.

      When you watch anime, you can’t get around CR anymore. They have exclusive licenses for the vast majority of new anime There’s HIDIVE, but you’d still need CR alongside it to actually keep up with the good stuff.
