CrunchyRoll.js is capable of downloading anime episodes from the popular CrunchyRoll streaming service. An episode is stored in the original video format (often H.264 in a MP4 container) and the configured subtitle format (ASS or SRT).The two output files are then merged into a single MKV file.

Motivation

CrunchyRoll has been providing an amazing streaming service and offers the best way to enjoy anime in a convenient and legal way. As a streaming service, video files cannot be downloaded and watched offline. Understandable from a business perspective and considering possible contract implications, but annoying for users. This application enables episodes to be downloaded for offline convenience. Please do not abuse this application; download episodes for personal use and delete them if you do not have an active premium account. Continue to support CrunchyRoll; without our financial backing their service cannot exist!

Legal Warning

This application is not endorsed or affliated with CrunchyRoll. The usage of this application enables episodes to be downloaded for offline convenience which may be forbidden by law in your country. Usage of this application may also cause a violation of the agreed Terms of Service between you and the stream provider. A tool is not responsible for your actions; please make an informed decision prior to using this application.

Configuration

It is recommended to enable authentication (-p and -u) so your account permissions and settings are available for use. It is not possible to download non-free material without an account and premium subscription. Furthermore, the default account settings are used when downloading. If you want the highest quality videos, configure these preferences at https://www.crunchyroll.com/acct/?action=video.

Instructions

Use the applicable instructions for the interface of your choice (currently limited to command-line).

Command-line Interface (crunchyroll)

The command-line interface does not have a graphical component and is ideal for automation purposes and headless machines. The interface can run using a sequence of series addresses (the site address containing the episode listing), or with a batch-mode source file. The crunchyroll --help command will produce the following output:

Batch-mode

When no sequence of series addresses is provided, the batch-mode source file will be read (which is CrunchyRoll.txt in the current work directory. Each line in this file is processed as a seperate command-line statement. This makes it ideal to manage a large sequence of series addresses with variating command-line options or incremental episode updates.

Examples

Afte exchanging a couple of emails with the Crunchyroll support team this is what I found out:

iTunes is only managed through iTunes. We can't see or touch your iTunes set up. So you can edit your web created accounts all different ways and they won't effect whatever you set up in iTunes. We don't even know the name of the account you set up under iTunes.

You need to go through iTunes to find the account. Then you can use that account on the web or on different devices. We can't connect to it, change it, or even see it without you first telling us it's name.

iTunes is controlled by you and Apple. That's part of the iTunes design. I recommend you contact iTunes support. They can reset or refund or find any info you need about your iTunes account.

Non iTunes accounts we can completely help you with. iTunes ties our hands.

Wish there was something we could do to help, but from past experience iTunes support is usually pretty fast at sorting these out.
