With the recent move of the Japanese ISPs to ban P2P networks, CR is not available for streaming in Japan, as of further notice.

It is not definite, yet, whether or not this IP ban will be permanent or temporary. Sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope this clears up much of the confusion for some of you.

As for other people who aren't living in Japan, but are experiencing a similar problem, we are currently looking into it. Suffice it to know that this incident only concerns CR users in Japan.


Thank you, and good day.

ah no!! oh well they could always watch them live on TVs!!!

aww.... I feel sorry for those who can't go here... ... but lets pray that they can come back here soon!...

Ah, too bad for the Japanese, but they have anime all over TV there anyway. And besides, if they really want to watch something online any anime can be found if you know where to look.

But I'm still happy I live in America. ^^
