One of the worst websites to watch anime unless you want it to buffer every 5 seconds. I have a wifi speed of 1GBPS ( 1000mbps ) and yet this site still manages to lag for 2 minutes after every 5 seconds. Dont waste your money on this

Don't give them the time of day
As someone who started using this site in 2016 it's severely gone downhill over the years with insufferable buffering, an overpriced subscription, and recently they can't even pay real human translators they just use AI thats so bad its not even correct half the time. Its also worth mentioning that the ads have also gotten longer with sometimes having to watch 2 or 3 in the middle of an episode. Don't waste your valuable time or hard earned money on this steaming pile of dogshit. I would rather stop watching anime as a whole than to ever lay eyes on this site again.

Falsely displayed a show I wanted to watch
Displayed a show I wanted to watch, signed up to watch it, and then they presented it under the premium subscription after I signed up. Cancelled the subscription but I'm on the hook for a month for a show I couldn't have even watched to begin with. Scummy behavior. Wish I could score 0/5.

Garbage
Not worth it. Small library with overpriced subscription. You're better off just searching Google for free. And why does the shows need to be region locked?

Genuinely one of the worst platforms, the amount of greed for what you get. It's one of the worse streaming platforms out there for a small size library.

It's such a bad platform and overpriced of what you get. I've seen illegal websites that provide better support and UI experience then Cruncyroll.
