The truth of the internet is that no service is entirely bulletproof. While it’s not a surprise when games might experience issues, it’s a much bigger deal when it’s a streaming service. We have all the answers if you are experiencing issues with the service in question. This guide will give you all the information to help you determine if Crunchyroll is down for everyone and general tips on how to check the server status.
Where to Check Crunchyroll Server Status
As with many of these circumstances, your best bet to find out if a problem is widespread is through checking the Crunchyroll Downdetector page. This doesn’t rely on Crunchyroll to acknowledge anything, as it is comprised entirely of user reports.
Your next stop should be the Crunchyroll Twitter account, but it is mostly for self-promotional work and anime announcements. That makes it unlikely it will tell you anything unless the problem is massive.
These are really your only options, as the Crunchyroll forums were closed down, and there’s no quick/direct link to customer support.
Is Crunchyroll Down Right Now?
As of 10:10 AM ET on Dec. 19, reports on Downdetector started to spike and have reached a high of 1,662. This certainly suggests that Crunchyroll is down for many users. The issues seem to be localized to the Crunchyroll app, according to many posted on social media.
As you might expect, Crunchyroll hasn’t spoken up about any issues on Twitter, so it’s hard to say how aware they are of any problems. So far, the only tweets made recently are about Jujutsu Kaisen and Shangri-la Frontier.
Hopefully, if you have been having issues, they will quickly be rectified, and if Crunchyroll is down, it won’t be for long. Look at our links below for more of our recent anime news and features.
