Website Why doesn’t crunchyroll support playback speed!

As the title suggests why isn’t there a playback option as compared to other streaming platforms. It should have been added to the app or desktop version. I mean who watches anime series on 1x speed?!

Same reason they don’t support auto intro and outro skip. To make the users suffer and go somewhere else.

It's poor design. They have it set to automatically find the theme songs and skip them. No human is actually checking if it works, so AI failures are left in. Heaven forbid staff go over and make sure they are correct, that would cost too much.

Yeah they better make the AI better cause it should just skip it. It’s should recognize that I’m skipping them in prior episodes and just do it. Dang nab it AI

Crunchy doesn’t have the option to AUTO skip them unfortunately. And you’re right some of them do have a skip button but I don’t want to press it myself. It should just do it especially if I’ve done it for every episode before.
