Dubs Using a VPN to watch One Piece with English dub — Is this doable without any issues? (not looking for cheaper subs!)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Quick post regarding using a VPN with Crunchyroll. I live in Spain, and unfortunately, the English dub for One Piece isn't available in my region—we only have the Japanese audio with local subtitles.

To be completely honest, I just find reading subtitles super tiring after a long day, and I understand English perfectly fine. I really want to just sit back, relax, and watch the show with the English dub by connecting to a US server.

Just to be 100% clear: I am NOT trying to bypass regional pricing or get a cheaper subscription. I already have an active, fully paid account in Spain and I'm happy paying my regular rate. My only goal is to access the English audio track for One Piece so I don't have to glue my eyes to the screen reading subs.

I just wanted to ask: Is this actually doable without running into any issues? Does Crunchyroll allow this smoothly, or will I hit VPN blocks or account trouble?

If anyone else from Europe is currently doing this to access English dubs, I’d love to hear how it’s working for you.

Thanks in advance!

Streaming | Technical Issue Constant pausing/buffering

1 Upvotes

I dont know if anyone else has been having this problem but for the past 2/3 weeks my crunchyroll has become completely unusable because of the amount of pausing its doing itself. I can't go ONE second without it automatically pausing and unpausing itself no matter what show/movie im watching, even if the quality is at the lowest. I've tried uninstalling the app, checking for updates, clearing the cache, using mobile data/swapping to stronger wifi, restarting my phone, and in the time that it's done this I've even gotten a new phone for unrelated reasons and it still wont stop. Autoplay is off, Bluetooth is off & i cleared the history. I've run out of ideas on what could be the issue, my internet hasn't changed at all since it started and has worked in the past, if anyone has any ideas they'd be greatly appreciated!!!

Store The new store is shit

61 Upvotes

I feel like I'm probably not alone in this, but the new store is garbage. They got rid of all the manga and then they put the store by him to paywall so people who aren't members can't buy. They think that they're so exclusive they can charge people a membership just to shop. Even though nothing they have is worth a membership, you can get everything they have somewhere else. The only reason I was even paying for the highest membership was for the 15% discount on the 7 to 8 manga I was buying every month. And the occasional figure every once in awhile. But now they got rid of the manga. And now it looks like they're focusing on dropping new apparel, which is incredibly stupid.

I honestly don't know what they were thinking. It seems like they got rid of a bunch of stuff. I get it. Maybe they get rid of stuff cuz it wasn't selling but it just seems dumb. They really gave a lot of people a reason to either downgrade their membership or just stop using crunchyroll all together. I guess it does make sense why they got rid of manga after all though. That's a physical thing and Sony owns Crunchyroll and Sony doesn't want you to own anything. I'm surprised they still sell blu-rays and DVDs on the store. I'd be willing to bet that shit's going away soon too because Sony doesn't want discs anymore. No physical media according to Sony.

Streaming | Technical Issue Dub with Sub issue

5 Upvotes

I recently reactivated my subscription to Crunchyroll. When I had originally had it, any time I wanted to watch any anime, subtitles would show up, specifically in dub. As blasphemous as it is, I need subtitles even with dub because I suck at keeping up with what’s happening. I tried to watch COTE with dub and sub, but when I clicked on the option, no words appeared. The setting said it was on, but nothing appeared. I then switched it to purely sub and the subtitles were there. I did some searching and tried many of the troubleshooting methods, and none have worked. This is only so strange because, before I could watch anything with both settings equipped and it would be fine. It’s also weird that both settings actually work when I watch Solo Leveling. That is the only one I have found so far that works.

Am I just missing a setting or stipulation?

Edit: I meant cc not dub

Account/Membership My Crunchyroll account was deleted when I clicked on request to Delete Personal Data (for third party use). I can't get hold of their support and don't know what to do. Can someone help me?

The only way I was able to open an issue ticket was through their website and finding that page was super hard. That was back on Friday. After I sent proof of my membership and email confirmation, I never heard back from their support team. I do autopay monthly subscription and has been a subscriber for years now. I'm so upset and I don't know how to reinstate my account.

I’ve been rewatching FMAB and everything was fine until recently. Subs just started covering the entire screen. Thought maybe it was an issue with just this episode and went back and forwards and still same thing.
Only show with this issue atm
Tried on browser, phone and tv app. Same issue
Anyone else have or have had a similar issue?

Store Anime Figure Preorder Question

2 Upvotes

I purchased a Marin Kitagawa figure in early January for preorder. It was scheduled to ship out by the end of July this year, but it hasn’t shipped out and the status still shows as pending. I am wondering if anyone else has preordered a figure around that time and is experiencing the same issue? I have tried to check the website to see if there’s an update, but unfortunately I have no access to the website since I’m now living abroad in Japan and the website is blocked.

I ordered a couple other figures for preorder some years ago and I’m not sure if they still have the page available to check the status of preorder figures, do they still have the page available? I wanted to ask here before I bother my sibling again to check the website. Thanks for any help!
