    Please look into user, ********. This individual is actually a recently banned user, *******, who just created the new username, Amelia42, and is now continuing to spam the comments board with the same exact content as Solar69. This user is also posting copyrighted images that deplict a cartoon character, *************************, from a show called Family Guy. There is also another user, bitmizer, who is also spamming the comments board with similar messages and is even aggressively promoting Solar69's uses name.

    I bought an item before crunchy roll bought right stuff. Since then i have followed up five times on this issues with the item just trying to get information. Their customer service cannot handle nor help. All they can do is escalate the issues to ecommerce, when they do that it no. All communication is **** and never hear anything. Ask for a direct POC they cannot give. So i in the dark on this and would like some simple answer. Not trying to atart trouble just want to know when this item is supposed to ship. Order number SO3799612

    I have an issue with two orders from Crunchyroll store, February 14th I pre-ordered this item from Crunchyroll's store (******************************************************************************************************************************************) for $179.99. (Order #*******) the item has been in stock for months now and I have emailed them several times and have yet to get a response on why this has shipped, it has been past 6 months so I can't get my credit card company to help me. I would like for this company to ship out what I paid for.The second issue is with an order I placed on November 22nd, I bought two items that were advertised to ship with extra faceplates, the items arrived but they did not come with the extra faceplates the packing slip/invoice says "with bonus" on it so the order is incomplete but Crunchyroll will not respond to my emails. I would like for this company to ship the extra faceplates.I have bought over $400 from this company and they have not delivered what was promised to me and refuse to solve these issues. I have attached images of the order numbers for these orders.

    There is a user on your platform, *******, who is massively spamming the comments board with the exact same postings on the majority of your shows. I reached out to your support already about this, and they pretty much blew me off. The problem with this users comments, is that its creating a negative cult following where other users are also creating posts to get other users to "say hi" to Solar69. I even saw one recent user asking for personal Discord information from Solar69, which I am pretty sure breaks your terms of service. I also want to add that anytime one user brings up the issue about *******'s repeated spamming, other users will reply with very negative comments against the user who brought up *******'s spamming. Please look into this behavior as Solar69 is creating a negative environment for us users and is breaking the terms of service agreements due to spamming. If you need screenshots, please let me know.

    I have an unfulfilled order with Crunchyroll. I preordered 2 of the Genshin Impact - Statue of Her Excellence Almighty Narukami Ogosho Figure. It was originally slated for July but was delayed to August which I understand happens and *********** sent an email stating theirs was delayed to September. Again I understand as they need to receive their stock to be able to ship it to me. The figure supposedly released in September with multiple people showing as having received their order. It is now December and mine has not shipped. The figure has changed to "in stock" "sold out" then back to "in stock" where it currently stands Since that September date. I contacted *********** about this and never received a response about this order other than the automated message weeks ago. I reached out through their social media last week and still nothing beyond the automated message of they will be in touch soon. I received an email today from another site stating that there will be a reprint of the figure date for a release early next year. I just checked the listing again today on Crunchyroll to see if the delay date was changed and surprise surprise my order is now listed to the release date of the reprint release, NOT the original release date. The original vs the reprint are marked as different figures when they are made. I don't know what is going on and why I still haven't received even communication about my items but changing what I am receiving is not ok. I just want my items.

    I pre ordered a Persona 5 - ******************* and Morgana Car Scale Figure for $146.43 on January 15th, 2023 through Crunchyroll.com on a guest account. I received an order confirmation email, and I looked through my bank records and I was charged immediately with no refunds. The item was set to be released by November 31st at the latest. Currently on the website it is in stock (as of writing this on December 7th.) When i've tried to look up my order number to track my shipment, the website says it doesn't exist. I've tried contacting support for a month now, since November 16th when I sent my first email on my alternate email address ******************** After over a week of no responses, I attempted to contact chat support. On November 24th, I chatted with ************, and on November 29th I chatted with *******. They both said my concern would be escalated and to not worry. I've replied to all the emails i've received asking for updates, with no response. My order number is *******. I do not have an account number as I used a guest account to buy it, but I did make my purchase under my email address ******************** Crunchyroll has not tried to resolve my problem, and I just want my item to be delivered to me, or at least a replacement of the item.

    Despite numerous lawsuits they still refuse to fix the apps ui. It is horrible. New episodes are not available on time. And they lied about bringing the English dragon Ball z movies over from Funimation when they told us to cancel over a year ago. This company is one of the most corrupt and vile entities. They are a disgrace to business and belong behind bars. I demand a refund for the last 3 months as jjk and one piece episodes are not made available on time. I have proof of this on multiple devices. This service is too poor for them to charge for it yet. They need to go back to the drawing board, before the government steps in. I am also taking the liberty of reporting your incorrect translations to the Japanese studios who you disrespect regularly. Get translators who actually speak Japanese or else refund our money. You advertised subtitles for anime but fail to deliver. The subs are consistently incorrect and manipulate the narrative falsely.
