  1. Can I change my User Name?

    Due to the complications it can cause, it's not possible to directly change your User Name, sorry! If you really want a new User Name, you would need to delete your current account and create a new one.

    In order to verify your e-mail account, please follow the instructions below:

    The basics are covered in the Crunchyroll Library F.A.Q. so please read it. If you have further questions, you may want to ask one of the Library Moderators about it.
