Crunchyroll 17+

Let me start off by saying Crunchyroll is an amazing app but it still has one major issue and it’s the ads. Now as we all know in the top left corner of the screen it says Advertisements 1 of then how ever many it says it’s gonna show , then in the top right corner it says how many seconds it will last. Now here’s my problem I’ll get ads where it will say Advertisements 1 of 4 but the seconds say 205 Seconds left which doesn’t make any sense and I’ll tell you why the average advertisement is about 15 seconds long but there are some 30 second ones so using that logic 30 times 4 is 120 and that doesn’t match the 205 seconds that it says it will last meaning there’s more then 4 advertisements so let’s figure out about how many there is 205 divided by 30 is about 6.8 so let’s just round up to 7 that means instead of the 4 advertisements it says we get were actually having to watch 7 but here’s where it gets worse there’s 4 ad breaks when watching a 30 minute episode although the first ad at the start is usually just one but that still leaves the other three so let’s do more math 7 time 3 is 21 plus the one ad at the start of each episode making 22 now let’s do more math 22 times 30 is 660 seconds divide that by 60 so we get the minutes and we get 11 minutes which means a 30 minute episode turned into a 44 minute episode. All Im asking is that you please keep the ads short and fix this problem.

Anyways, we ALL KNOW the ads in this app are ridiculous. I know it’s a free app and all, and I do really enjoy it and don’t mind a couple ads, but there’s just one problem for me. I was watching mha, yes, my hero academia, and I had a problem occur.

So technically what happened, I got ad an, not bad right? After the ad, the anime wouldn’t load. I kept exiting the app, and everytime I went back in it would give me another ad and not load again. Mind you, my internet is not bad at all. You also might be thinking, “it’s probably just more than one ad, and the second one just isn’t loading, so when you go back in it loads.” But no. I was doing this for I know over 10 minutes. I got at least 10 ads and ngl, my night was kind of ruined because it kept happening and I ended up just giving up and going to bed. This might sound like a complaint, and it kind of is, but the moral of the story is to please just fix your ads. 4 ads isn’t bad, and it’s understandable for a free app with a ton of anime and more, but I shouldn’t have 10 ads in just one ad break. (and I probably would’ve had more if I had kept going.)

So anyways, a recap, I enjoy the app a lot overall, but sometimes the ads get out of control and just ruin the anime experience for you. Hope you found this helpful, xo

Great app to watch almost anything that u cant on Netflix. But I see constantly a specific anime, and the first season is dubbed, but the second season isn’t, that to me is the only issue, I don’t like switching languages every season so if u can release it in both ways that’d be great😃specifically Sword Art Online Alicization: War of Underworlds. Another issue are the ads, I think adding 4 would be fine if u made each add stop only one ad. There’s are usually 4 ad stops in an episode and when they hit it takes 30 seconds to load that ad and then play a 30+ second ad, and then another 30+ seconds to load a second one and a third. I think they load wayyyy too slowly and the ads back to back are too many. If there are 4 ad pauses please make it just one ad long and please load faster because in total if there are 4 ad blocks u spend abt 10 minutes watching ads because each pause loads 3 back to back ads. I wouldn’t mind 4 ads total but I also wouldn’t mind if ur going to keep the same amount of ads, that u just make them load faster instead of have me wait at a black screen for 30 seconds for an ad to show up and then repeat that for another two times. It’s a bit time consuming and sometimes I forget what happened before the ads even began to roll in and forget wat im watching. All in all, shorter faster ad breaks, and release seasons in both languages or just add that language setting in, not for subtitles but for the audio aswell, u know, dubbed.
