It gets even worse when a number of anime aren't even licensed for your country so you can only stream them via VPN. Looking at you Crunchyroll
Or when Crunchyroll has seasons 2 and 3 of an anime, but not season 1. Looking at you, FLCL.
Crunchyroll's UI on Roku and other TVs also sucks balls, and is prone to crashing on the slightest whim.
It's a completely piece of shit. I've never seen so many bugs in a streaming app
It's what happens when the devs have to spend more time making sure the DRM works than actually improving the UX of the platform. Pirates/Non-DRM users don't have that problem hence small FOSS projects can outclass big Streaming Services in UX quality.
