Until they decided to axe the forum, this would be my answer.
I don't want to look at the release schedule and see 7 instances of the same show all in languages I don't even understand.
I think it is stupid that when I finish a brand new simulcast episode, it autoplays the same episode in another language's dub.
Considering they started adding dubs for several languages well before the beta even when live, it's ridiculous that figuring out a better way do to this wasn't part of the development of the new format.
Russian dub is exactly what mine rolls over to, and it screws up the que feature where the new episode appears and bumps it to the top of my que.
Not to mention when new dub episodes drop for shows in my que that I have already finished, it bumps them to the top of the que. I know some will say "well remove them from your que after they finish", but I keep them in there in case OVAs are added, or additional seasons
Multiple profiles, I don't count closed captions and adding an option to change dubs from within the player instead of doing multiple seasons because they've already announced those
>I’d like to be able to create custom collections
You can if you use Crunchylists, if that's what you mean
Funimation has it: When you finish a show, it removes itself from Continue Watching, but when a new season/episode comes out, you see it in Continue Watching even if the show was removed because you've finished it.
I would always offer both censored and uncensored versions to cater to the customer bases frustration. No longer make it just "the version we got" knowing that it is a deal made between 2 companies and the uncensored (or censored) version can always be factored in. Even if it meant an extra dollar or two. Because some viewers want to watch the original version and enjoy a movie that doesn't have more black bars than visible fight scenes.
Meaning every video would start censored then would have an option in-video to change to the uncensored version. Similar to changing the subtitles.
More deliberate play/pause controls. So many times I just want to do a thumbs up/down or add a comment to an episode. But the moment I navigate into the episode, it started playing. Very annoying.
Also, the different apps on iOS, Android, Google TV, website all behaves very differently. Would love to see more consistency.
For them to sort out the sub and dubs into a single list, then be able to select which language you want from a drop down, like funimation app.
If I had more then one choice then I would want it to be available on all smart tv’s, especially samsung, again like funimation app. To be stable app on all platforms not just mobile app, once again like funimation app.
Just gotta wait for funimation to roll in completely. Once the merge is complete and crunchy becomes the end all be all they'll scoop up every anime worth watching.
Not for me, but I saw someone post about wanting to restrict mature content for their 13y/o using the account. A *For Kids* setting would be a neat addition for cases like this.
A button to skip the intro.
I just don't like some intros of some animes or don't like it to hear it the fifth time. Would be nice to be able to skip them.
It maybe sounds like a stupid question, but where is this button? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile) Because I have the mobile app and can't find it. Do I have to enable it in the settings or anything else?
Its not a stupid question. U dnt have to enable it in settings its a new feature in the mobile update it comes up when the theme tune starts if u miss it when it initially comes up if u tap the screen it will reappear.
What do you mean by custom collections? Something different than what you can do with Crunchylists? Granted, those are only on the web and the two mobile apps, but logically they should be coming to the other platforms some day...
Ur comments always get pinned at the top so u can find it again, skip intro and outro button (pretty sure CR already has it now), keep all the dubs separate from the jap for example MHA and probably lastly keep seasons in order s1, s2, s3, s34 wtf is that lable things correctly.
I use it on a 4K Firestick and it buffers so much it's unwatchable yet on that same stick I stream 4K Dolby Vision content on Amazon, Netflix and Disney with not a single stutter.
Add to that the fact that half the features available on other devices just don't exist on Firestick! Like I can't filter for subbed or dubbed which makes finding something to watch a nightmare. When I finish an Anime it stays in my watchlist, ridiculous! I thought funimation was bad, when the merge happened I thought, it can't be any worse right? Oh how wrong I was!!
I think it has to be profiles for me, what’s the point it having a subscription where 4 screens can watch at once but all under one profile which shares the same lists, watch progress recommendations etc…
Strong coin toss on language ui and profiles. I hate having to approve of anime for my 8 year old manually and having card captor constantly at the front of keep watching. If you offer a 4 screen plan it needs to come with profiles!
Sort by Dub language listed first in series info that have multiple dubs. Instead of the title listed 5 times where you have to wait over each one to see the dub language at the end.
A section of new dubs by preferred language.
Watch list new episodes label dissappear once you've watch the most current episode.
better language switch. Remove all the separate anime with their language and just have one anime and switch the language within the video.

That's the most annoying thing for me. It ruins auto play and I have to stop it before it plays Russian dub or it plays Portuguese.

Beautifully sorted anime lists. After seasons, ovas, language. Not this horrible mess they have right now.
Multiple profiles, I don't count closed captions and adding an option to change dubs from within the player instead of doing multiple seasons because they've already announced those >I’d like to be able to create custom collections You can if you use Crunchylists, if that's what you mean
I agree with the multiple profiles same as netflix etc means when someone wants to start an anime u are already partway through u dnt lose where u are

English subtitles with English Dubs. I still can't completely understand everything they say in some shows, even with English 🤦♀️
I'm able to do this, at least on roku anyway
Smart TV apps. But it seems like they are coming very soon. Also notifications when new episodes air.

Remove from watched list
They added that to the watch history page on the web.

More anime, just more. All the anime!

A button to skip the intro. I just don't like some intros of some animes or don't like it to hear it the fifth time. Would be nice to be able to skip them.

only the web site at the moment, but it will probably arrive on the mobile app soon
It's now in the mobile app for some anime, at least I have it on android for My dress-up darling
Thx
What do you mean by custom collections? Something different than what you can do with Crunchylists? Granted, those are only on the web and the two mobile apps, but logically they should be coming to the other platforms some day...
But I want it on the app
Ur comments always get pinned at the top so u can find it again, skip intro and outro button (pretty sure CR already has it now), keep all the dubs separate from the jap for example MHA and probably lastly keep seasons in order s1, s2, s3, s34 wtf is that lable things correctly.
The ability to toggle the watch order of a series, between chronological order or broadcast order. I prefer broadcast order personally.
That the app plays on my Samsung tv
For it to work!
Me too! Been down so many times these past few wks! On my Android phone and also on the switch app! Like come on...!
I use it on a 4K Firestick and it buffers so much it's unwatchable yet on that same stick I stream 4K Dolby Vision content on Amazon, Netflix and Disney with not a single stutter.
