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 10:50 AM ET on Jan. 23, Crunchyroll is experiencing some issues. These don’t seem too widespread, but comments on the Downdetector page mention server issues and the main website not loading. I got the site to load, but it was very slow, so I am unsure if trying to watch something would be successful. Others are commenting that the service has returned, so this might have just been a hiccup.
Either way, it might be wise to wait a little bit because it’s unclear if everything has fully recovered from whatever went wrong.
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 One Piece and Demon Slayer.
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.
