Report Issues via Crunchyroll Website
The Crunchyroll website offers the most comprehensive way to report issues. Use this method for complex problems that require detailed explanations or screenshots.
Access the Help Center
Visit crunchyroll.com/help or scroll to the bottom of any Crunchyroll page and click "Help" in the footer. This opens the Crunchyroll Help Center.
The Help Center contains FAQ articles that may solve your problem without needing to contact support.
Submit a Support Request
In the Help Center, click "Contact Us" or "Submit a Request." You'll need to log in to your Crunchyroll account to proceed.
If you can't log in, there's a separate option for account access issues.
Fill Out the Support Form
Complete the form with:
- Issue category (streaming, account, billing, etc.)
- Subject line (be specific and concise)
- Detailed description of the problem
- Device and browser information
- Screenshots or error messages (if applicable)
Submit and Track
After submitting, you'll receive a confirmation email with a ticket number. Use this number to track your request status.
Response times vary from a few hours to 2-3 business days depending on issue complexity.
Report Issues via Mobile App
You can report issues directly from the Crunchyroll mobile apps for iOS and Android. This is convenient for app-specific problems or when you're away from a computer.
iOS App Reporting
Tap the Menu icon (three lines) > Settings > Help & Support > Contact Us. Select the issue category and describe your problem.
You can attach screenshots directly from your photo library.
Android App Reporting
Tap your profile icon > Settings > Help > Contact Support. Choose your issue type and provide details.
The app automatically includes device information (model, Android version) with your report.
In-App Feedback Option
Some screens have a "Feedback" or "Report a Problem" button. Use these for context-specific issues like incorrect episode information.
This routes your report to the appropriate team directly.
Report Issues via Social Media
Crunchyroll maintains active social media support accounts. While not ideal for complex issues, social media is effective for quick questions, widespread outage confirmation, and routing to the right support channel.
Twitter / X Support
Tweet @CrunchyrollSupport or DM them. Include your username and a brief description of your issue.
Response time: Usually within 1-4 hours during business hours. Good for quick questions.
Facebook Support
Message the Crunchyroll Facebook page or post on their wall (though DM is preferred for account-specific issues).
Response time: Variable, typically 4-24 hours.
Reddit Community
Post on r/Crunchyroll subreddit. While not official support, the community and偶尔 Crunchyroll employees may help.
Use for general questions and troubleshooting before contacting official support.
What Information to Include
The quality of information you provide directly impacts how quickly support can resolve your issue. Include these details in every report for faster resolution.
Account Information
Your Crunchyroll username, email associated with account, and subscription tier (Free, Fan, Mega Fan, Ultimate Fan). Never share your password.
Device Information
Device type (iPhone, Samsung TV, PS5, etc.), operating system version, Crunchyroll app version, and browser (if applicable).
Issue Details
Specific anime title, episode number, timestamp where issue occurs, exact error messages, and steps to reproduce the problem.
Troubleshooting Already Tried
List the troubleshooting steps you've already attempted. This prevents support from asking you to repeat basic steps.
Screenshots or Recordings
Attach screenshots of error messages or screen recordings showing the issue. Visual evidence dramatically speeds up diagnosis.

Alternative Solutions
While waiting for support response, try these alternative solutions that may resolve your issue faster.
- Check Service Status: Visit downdetector.com and search for "Crunchyroll" to see if there's a widespread outage. If so, wait for Crunchyroll to fix it.
- Try Different Device: If the issue is device-specific, watching on another device may be a temporary workaround.
- Community Forums: Post on r/Crunchyroll subreddit or other anime forums. Other users may have experienced and solved the same issue.
- Fresh Install: Uninstall and reinstall the Crunchyroll app to fix corrupted data issues.
- Network Reset: Reset your network settings on mobile or restart your router for streaming issues.
- Update Everything: Ensure your device OS, browser, and Crunchyroll app are all updated to the latest versions.
When to Follow Up
If you haven't received a response within the expected time frame, it's appropriate to follow up on your support request.
Follow Up via Website
Log in to the Help Center and view your support requests. Find your original ticket and add a comment: "Following up on this request, still waiting for response."
This bumps your ticket in the queue without creating a duplicate.
Follow Up via Social Media
Tweet @CrunchyrollSupport with your ticket number: "Still waiting for help with ticket #12345. Issue: [brief description]."
Social media follow-ups often get faster responses than website support.
When NOT to Follow Up
Don't follow up within the expected response time frame. Also don't create multiple tickets for the same issue - this delays response by fragmenting the conversation.
