Crunchyroll Yearly Fee goes from £39.99 to £64.99 out of nowhere
- Thread starter MouldyK
- Start date
I pay monthly for it $6.95 US and got an email that it's going up to $7.99 in August for existing users and new users sooner.
... so that's why there's no difference in data usage...
I'm about cut cable and tried the free version.
I only use Crunchyroll for Dragon Ball Super, so that's the only way they're getting money from me.
honestly they've kept the same price for years now, I just checked my email and a yearly sub is going to $80 a year.
I'm good until 2020 tho, they probably wanna up the price because they're investing in more original content now.
Been subbed since 09 I think at launch? I'l stick around.

What? It's $69.99 CAD a year for Crunchyroll here. If you're paying monthly obviously it costs more though. And it cost me $59.99 last time I paid last year.

Got the email too for my month pricing in NA (will be the same for 3 months). Things have been stable more lately. I usually stream on my phone when I'm out and would have connection issues sometimes, but never problems on my PC or Xbox, that others have seemed to have. There's still A LOT of broken stuff though, especially with their manga stuff since the last Dec update... I really hope they fix that, because although the chapters trickle out slowly, I found a lot of good stuff on there, which sadly suffers from these bugged issues :/ (The one thing it has over the Shonen Jump app, was how it showed your chapter progress, MUCH better than SJ's update).
They lost a ton of content including the first seasons of their most popular shows and now a huge price increase?
If you think this increase will mean more licensed content, you're delusional. This is going to finance more branding events and original content that their subscriber base wants nothing to do with.
Also fuck them for abandoning the drama section and removing shows without warning.

That's £60 a year to £78 for you guys though.
So before buying monthly cost 50% more a year in the long run, £40 Vs £60.
Now it's only £13 more, so 20% savings only.
High quality content like that weird CalArts style cartoon doesn't pay for itself. I'm sure they're hurting after the Funimation slip and want to get as much from their dedicated base as possible. I think more people will begin to turn toward piracy though.
I have been with CR for a while, I miss the Funimation back catalog but will continue to support them. I just hope they can snag some older back catalog series from other services.
I just canceled my Amazon Music subscription, and then Crunchyroll increases on me? Jeez louise.
Still worth it for Mob and Jojo, but I sure hope that this increase means better service. Crunchyroll needs to include the ability to download episodes.

United States here. I got the same email. Yearly rates are going from $59.99/year to $79.99/year, starting on May 1. I also find it strange that CrunchyRoll auto-renews a week before the subscription ends, but looking into that, it's because they count one year as 360 days, not 365. Yes, I'm serious.
I also got it this morning for the NA. I am going to keep it. My nieces and nephew use it for Buruto and I use for MOB Psycho 100 for this season. I am more watching on Funimation and Hidive.
You'd think recently losing a large chunk of their content would be a bad timing for a price increase but here we are.
I don't watch a whole lot of anime anymore so next time my yearly sub ends I think I'll just switch to sporiadic monthly subs like I already do with other streaming services.

That's my question. I dropped Crunchyroll for VRV a little while back.
Remember, we will also be getting a tier system for Funimation. The basic will still be the same but they will less for the low end tier as before like offline viewing on the app.

Shit, this is a huge increase. I will keep my sub since I'm watching mob, love is war and promised Neverland this season, but after these series end I'm not sure if it's worth paying for the service.
I mean, you can say the same about ANY streaming service. Almost everything has had a price hike in the recent year: Netflix, Amazon Prime (at least as the whole package), Hulu... It's not too much of a surprise that these things raise in price. Every time Netflix goes up $1 people bail. It's just how subs are, and should be expected for prices to be raised. However, if Crunchyroll actually uses these price hikes to FIX their broken stuff, then I have no issues with it. If things stay as they are now, then that's the real problem.
If people had the means of pirating they would have by know. Or they can go to another service that also day 1 release. If it's aniplex release then those shows will go to hulu plus, funimation, VRV, and crunchyroll.
They're not going to fix their broken stuff. Last year their tech team got fired so a director could give the work to a friends outsourcing company.
