That reminds me I have to sign up for Hidive for Takagi San season 3.
Just be prepared for how bad it can be. There are no console apps except Xbox, which works but is not great.
The mobile apps have streaming issues over Chromecast (first gen anyway).
My advice would be to use a web browser for playback if you don't have an Xbox.
I planned to watch it on PC. I'll sign up for the free trail and watch as much of the stuff I want to as I can near the end of this month
Hidive is fine on PC and in app but the last time I used it with chrome cast it used yellow subs only which is too old school for me. Shame since they have a good few shows I would like to watch.
You can change the colour of the subs on Hidive, the option is under your account details on the menu.
Been a while since I used hidive but last year that only worked for videos in app. Not when they were casted to the screen.
Eighty-six is back this Saturday with the last episode the following week.
In a move that will shock no one, now the CR/Funi merger is happening Sentai are removing all their content from the platform to stream exclusively on HiDive.
Seems like Crunchyroll are pretty much nuking the ad supported streams with all Spring 2022 shows being premium only excluding the first 3 episodes of the titles listed in the article below.

I don't know what the ads were like elsewhere but I only ever got "get CR premium" ads before before I subbed to premium.
The only positive I see is that premium is reasonably cheap here at €40 a year, it's over £70 in the UK iirc.
Is there a yearly option? Mine's €4.99 per month. Still the UK would be about €20 a year more expensive than that.
I see CR have copped on to the existence of ad blockers. 😅
Yeah, if you go to premium membership status in your settings you should be able to change to an annual plan.
They've kind of hidden the €40 annual fan plan on the sign up screen only showing the monthly fan and mega fan plans and the €65 annual mega fan plan. The €40 sub is still available by switching from the monthly fan subscription after signing up for the trial.
Has anyone started watching Kakegurui the live show version on netflix beyond me? I watched both seasons of the anime but they done a normal series out of it now instead that's following the same format but fills out parts differently. I esp. like how they have handled the whole "thinking part" of the anime where a lot of the story is playing out.
I tried to watch it but about 2 minutes into the first episode I had to turn it off because for some reason Netflix subtitles insist on replacing last names with first names (western name order) and it throws me off hearing one name and reading the other.
How did I miss that Legend of the Galactic Heroes is back?
Back for 24 episodes too.
Curious if anyone is watching Tomodachi Game? Have to say the episode 6 twists were pure beauty and I really enjoy it.
I'm a few episodes behind but I like it so far
After twist one I skimmed over the previous episode and the clues were there all along. Twist two was more funny than anything else.
I'm assuming you mean the kiss and not the fact this is his second run of the game?
Yeah
Anyone else have constant buffering on Crunchyroll lately? It's not my internet and I've tried different browsers and devices
I know people who constantly have those issues too but haven't experienced them myself. About the only issue I usually have is the infinite buffer on the Xbox app, if it doesn't load within 5 seconds it won't load at all on that app.
I have way more issues with Hidive. If it buffers the audio desyncs, it never updates your viewing progress and if you watch an episode of a series in your queue it is removed from it.
After a bit of checking it seems a lot of people are having the same issue in the last few weeks.
Yeah the updated ps4 app is unusable for me and even the web view is unreliable. I've only been able to watch episodes using the switch app reliably.
Maybe it's 4d stealth marketing so people will pay for the download to device subscription tier.
Just finished chainsaw man..looking forward to seeing what way season 2 goes
I hate what they've done to Trigun
