How tf is it possible that there is no quality selector on tv app but there is one on pc and mobile. Why is it that on tv crunchyroll buffers so much ( and i checked my internet connection was fine ). Why tf there is still so many region locked content. I want to watch legend of galactic Heroes and not play games wondering which vpn if any will work if its still even on crunchyroll( it was ).
Also why cant i download episodes to watch offline on tv.

Thats my rant. Thank you all for listening. Have a good day.

As a side note question, I just realized it's been a while since I looked through all the streaming options for Anime. I'm happy with CR at the moment but are there others I should consider? I like to reevaluate any subscriptions I have every year.

Nah, after the merger with Funimation, they looks like monopoly in anime streaming. Aside of Netflix there is really no much choice. I could remember only RetroCrush, but they are in now way the competitors to Crunchyroll.

There's also HiDive (in the US), they don't have nearly as big of a catalog as CR, but they do have some pretty big exclusives that are only on their platform.

When you watch anime, you can't get around CR anymore. They have exclusive licenses for the vast majority of new anime There's HIDIVE, but you'd still need CR alongside it to actually keep up with the good stuff.
