Crunchyroll is adding new accessibility features to make watching anime easier, more flexible, and more assistive for everyone. These updates let you adjust playback, customize captions, and use helpful tools like screen readers.
You can change the playback speed to slow down or speed up an episode—perfect for catching details or moving through a scene at your own pace.
No mouse? No problem. Use keyboard shortcuts to control playback, navigate menus, and explore Crunchyroll with fewer clicks.
Audio descriptions narrate what’s happening on screen in real time. This feature helps you follow along, even if you aren’t looking at the screen.
Choose the size, color, and font of your Closed Captions so they’re comfortable to read. This option is available on supported devices.
More languages with Closed Captions
Closed captions are expanding to more languages, so you can watch in the language that works best for you.
Screen reader support
Screen readers like NVDA and JAWS can now read the buttons and menus on Crunchyroll, giving you smoother navigation and control.
Flashing content warnings
You’ll see a warning before shows with flashing lights. This gives you the choice to skip or continue depending on your comfort.
