We’re Renovating the Store!

Hey anime fan,

The Crunchyroll Store is getting a jump on spring cleaning with some website updates. While this won’t impact your ability to shop for your favorite anime merch, our updates will require you to re-enter certain information that you previously provided.

Beginning March 29, 2023, you’ll need to re-enter your shipping address and payment information to make a purchase, as existing information will no longer be available.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to create a better experience for our favorite Crunchyroll customers. (That’s you!)

If you have any additional questions, please check out our FAQ or contact our Customer Service team.

If you have an open order on the old system it does not show up on the new system until it ships. So you can only view it if you have the old email.

Another one officially bites the dust - swallowed up by the Sony Empire...

VRV Sunset FAQ: What You Need to Know

[pikagreg]

RIP. VRV was really nice for when CR was having problems and VRV would just work lol

[Tylerfan]

Never used VRV but this just feels wrong

[InuYashaCrusade]

Not a monopoly though right?

[neoz]

It is so odd because VRV really was just a hosting site to host other streaming services. But yeah big rip again figured as much as to reduce redundancy and save money.

[Nothing371]

Never heard of it.

now I am very upset.

[pikagreg]

To me the best thing VRV had was that you could link your CR sub to it and it gave you a second CR app for when things were dying from DB Super and Attack on Titan.

[Kid Boruto]

RIP VRV. I paid for the service a few times but hardly ever used it.

Any word on when Sorcerous Stabber Orphen: Chaos in Urbanrama Season 3 will be dubbed? I assume June or July as was the case with the previous 2 seasons.

Crunchyroll needs to learn that anime fans watch English and Japanese versions and need to understand to not hype up release dates for anime on their social media, unless the English and Japanese versions are going to be uploaded at the same time.

Funimation's video files have been dropped on Crunchyroll's server, so you'll now see the Funimation logo, when you watch some content on Crunchyroll. I really wish they would get the Gundam mess sorted out and add the English dubs and additional Gundam content that hasn't been on streaming yet or put on Hulu/Netflix.

Saint Seiya, dub, is streaming on Crunchyroll. Hopefully they or someone else is working on Blu-rays of all of Saint Seiya since everything but Saint Seiya Hades and the 4 Classic movies Discotek released is streaming on Crunchyroll. Hades is on Tubi.
