Shutting Down CrunchyRoll Premium...

The Issue

I'm TheDibber11, a small YouTuber who wanted to watch all episodes of The Helpful Fox Senko-San to put them in a tierlist & rank all of them individually too, sounds too easy, right? Well for some unknown reason, to my dismay, I couldn't watch even ONE episode without subscribing to CrunchyRoll Premium. This experience is not fair to me, and it can be a barrier faced by many others, especially kids who just want to enjoy their favourite shows and individuals who are unable or unwilling to spend money on streaming services.

CrunchyRoll's business model, which restricts access to content behind a paywall, is unfair and excludes a significant portion of the anime community. According to Statista, as of 2020 there were approximately 60 million people in the U.S alone who watched anime regularly. However, not everyone can afford premium subscriptions like CrunchyRoll's, mainly people who just want it for free.


We believe that all of the anime on CrunchyRoll should be accessible for everyone regardless of their financial status. By eliminating CrunchyRoll Premium and allowing free access to all its content, we can make this possible while still supporting creators through ad revenue.

Let us stand together against this exclusionary practice and fight for equal access for all anime lovers. Sign this petition today!
