RetroCrush Reviews

by Custersrun

When I log in to RetroCrush , I have to sit through 2-5 ads 30 seconds each before I pickup where I left off with the program I’m currently watching. Once I finally start watching the program it’s not but 3 - 7 minutes later and I’m watching the same ad (4- 5 ads) again chewing up my entertainment time. There needs to be limit to the ads, perhaps 1 and only 1 ad at the beginning, 1 and only 1 ad in the middle, 1 and only 1 ad at the end. That’s not to much to ask for is it. I know RetroCrush is free, but enough is enough when it comes to the ads. Perhaps mixing them up would be a good idea,( NO GOVERNMENT ADS) they always promise the world but never deliver. Maybe an ad about libraries, Red Cross giving blood, Good Will donating stuff you don’t need any more( it’s tax deductible ), those kind of ads. Again 1 at the beginning, 1 in the middle, and 1 at the end. I’m just one button away from deleting RetroCrush.

This is all retro anime content so it’s not like RetroCrush’s creator is authoring any of the content. So all that you can ask of them is to deliver it via a decent user interface. But it fails miserably at that. Too many details to give here... but RetroCrush seriously needs a complete overhaul by a top-shelf user interface and user experience professional. The crummy UI definitely gets in the way of the experience, even for a paying user. But when you’re not fighting the bad UI, there is some good content to enjoy here.

Not easy to use, especially on Apple TV. Give us a main menu a search and a favorites icon to click on the main screen. Up down left right click icon, that easy. Not being able to favorite series is inconvenient and annoying and is the main drawback. Let us favorite the series we want to watch, give us a quick Icon to access those series and mark episodes watched... this is not that hard. Saving series to playlist would also be convenient.

Good lord, for as much as weebs love bragging about being sub purists, you all sure can’t read. RETRO crush. Meaning they probably aren’t going to have your crappy my hero whatever.

they’re adding god awful asian dramas, but there must be some sort of demand for it. As long as it doesn’t take over, I guess it’s okay. Adding too many 2010’s anime. Is that already considered retro? I also wish that I could have a “watch later” option.

On a positive note, this is a cool app. They’re literally giving you free, (mostly) older, anime. All you have to do is watch some ads. If old people can sit through 30 minutes of commercials, you “zoomers” can sit through 5 ads.

Great selection of shows and movies. Stars docked for two reasons:

1) Poor browsing/search experience. With lots of classic content, it would be nice to be able to filter by year or decade. In-app search does not seem to work properly.

2) Not sure if others managed a way, but I could not cast to my TV. Cast button initially showed on app but was possibly an “Airplay” button in disguise (they are different). This button eventually just flat-out disappeared.

I’m confused and annoyed that when you favorite a show or movie that looks intriguing and look in the favorite tab I only shows one episode that you favorited so you would have to favorite like 50episodes of a show to get the entire series on the favorite tab, but if it’s a movie it works fine. But then the most weird thing ever when you favorite a show on the favorite tab it doesn’t show the name of the show that you favorited so if u favorite a show so you can remember to watch it later, then you watch it to find the second episode you might have to search every through every single show available in retro crush to find the second episode smh. I mean you could just put in some notes on your phone as a watch list but it’s just annoying honestly

by Kendersnitch

Great mix of classic anime, even if some of the newer titles seem a little random and out of place. It is weird to see Demon City Shinjuku right next to Card Captor Sakura. My only real complaint is the language options. Subbed and dubbed anime are listed as separate titles and don’t show up in the same categories. It would be nice to have both under the same listing, or pair them in some way.

by A Poppy Main

Overall it’s a great experience. Whether I’m finding old titles I’ve seen and forgotten, or finding ones I’ve never seen before, it’s full of gems that I want to keep watching. However, I would very much like to have RetroCrush be able to cast to my TV. I can use AirPlay, but that requires my phone to be on and RetroCrush to be open on the screen plying the video. I had hoped the cast button would display my TV and allow me to cast, but it appears to not work properly and it searches indefinitely for available devices only to show none. If this is fixed I’ll gladly change to a 5-star rating. Here’s hoping it works soon.

Ever since I first saw anime like Naruto and Death Note on their respective Toonami and Adult Swim blocks, even the brief glimpse of Gigantor that I caught one New Year’s, I’ve been hooked on the whole concept known as anime. RetroCrush, just browsing through the home page alone, is a great trip exploring the classic, hand-drawn master and trashterpieces of a bygone era for a potential otaku like myself. My only complaint is searching for the titles could use some improvement, i.e. a browse by year/decade feature to give some of the less popular or known titles in RetroCrush a chance to shine.

I love this so much! I downloaded this on my Roku and my phone and found lots of anime shows I probably wouldn’t have found without it! Though, some are only in sub and I find that quite annoying. Apart from that, there’s only few ads, maybe 1-2 for me when I’m watching a show, and they’re not too annoying! Super short and not many to watch. 100% recommend downloading this! Love it!!! 💖💖💖

For a free streaming service it is beyond compare so much so that it puts many pay streaming service to shame. The content is to die for you all most never see any bugs or glitches. This is costumer service at it’s best more so if you are a anime fan you get good content with out any stupid woke garbage messing up the story.

by Jboko124

Keep it up i love this ish

Id love a rating system implemented.
I feel like reading the abstract sums up the anime pretty well but seeing weather the community liked it would be really helpful in finding cool new shows. No need for a comment section that stuff turns ugly fast. But like a star system or maybe like “4 beckoning cats out of 5” sorta thing. No need to take it self to seriously. Keep it up love RetroCrush .

by Kuajwi

I am so happy that I was able to find a platform that I was able to show some of my all-time favorite anime from back in the day. I hope that this site continues to bring more of those retro anime and I will try to see every single one of them as much as possible. Thank you for what you are doing

by Death156469

It’s FREE they have subs and dubs what more could you ask for but I hope they keep on adding more like inuyasha and evangelion yes there are a lot of options but I hope they will continue to add more overall it’s an amazing app there are no adds which is the best part heck might even be better then Crunchyroll and Funimation combined they charge but these guys don’t so props to them for makeing RetroCrush

by Jbow214

The title of RetroCrush says it all. I fail to see how dumb some people are by giving this bad reviews just because it doesn’t have the newer anime. Retro mean older. So it plays losers stuff there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It’s free so of course there will be ads. DEAL WITH IT. I saw one person give it a 1 Star just because it did not have the anime they were looking for. Sad. It is great for what it has.

by Kyokotsukiyono

This is truly a great app for retro anime. It’s great for kids watching My Hero Academia and Naruto to see what anime was like and to gain an appreciation of how we got to today’s anime. I will continue to look and wait for more anime from the 80s and 90s to show up.
I would like to be able to watch without the ads if that’s possible but if not we will all survive.

by Mewnu

I have been on an 80s anime binge lately and somehow found RetroCrush???? I am SO HAPPY, they have a TON of throwback goodies, I love the constantly-playing shows like it’s a TV… so many shows. I’m thrilled.

Ofc there’s some kinks to work out.. like sometimes RetroCrush freezes on my Fire TV, and I wish there was an easier cleaner interface, and being able to favorite from home screen/search.

But overall I’m so happy this exists !!! I have it playing and it’s my fave ugh.

by Us3DPixel(iPhone)

I’m 100% behind the idea but please make your app work. On startup, it’s the this app logo over a while background and after about five minutes it’ll disappear and just be a white background. I’ve turned my phone off and on several times, along with deleting and reinstalling RetroCrush several times as well. It just does not work.

Edit: I got it to work but I’m not sure how.

by Weeweeboy13

We need more shows like these often Lee like we don’t get another these products nowadays it’s really interesting that now enemies becoming the best thing ever it’s like amazing thank you very much retro rush I love retro shows and I like anime and I love this this is very interesting in this is a really man this is so hyped I hope like there’s so much shows like this more often

by Otaku Teacher

This is an excellent streaming service if you love old school anime. Hence the title.

I have a crunchyroll account, but their library of older anime is limited. This has a much bigger selection of anime from the 90’s and earlier

Only fault is that some of my favorite movies, “Cashan Robot Hunter” and “Orion” aren’t there yet. But this site does a good job of updating their selection pretty often.

by Millenial Philosopher

Will update if fixed. Does not run.

by Mohammaed Khaled

I know RetroCrush just came out and it looks pretty promising but I’m unable to watch any shows on it due to my “territory” hope this problem gets resolved in upcoming updates

by DJ Jazzy Jet

I appreciate that it's free and I understand ads are essential for that business model but why is it playing the 30 second asiancrush ad four time in a row? Tubi is another free streaming service with similar material and it's ads are much less intrusive.

by Kittyanya

Love it has so many anime I remember renting when I was 18 and can watch them again. Why not 5 stars? The ads do get a little crazy slicing up your favorite shows out of nowhere. Free, yes. Annoying, yes.

by Zamden28

Lots of these shows makes me nostalgic, looking forward for more shows added. I hope they also add different dub options options like Spanish for example. That would be the most amazing thing for me

by Merpston

Having the option to add an entire series rather than having to go add each episode individually would be super convenient. Everything else seems pretty solid.

by LarranceC

I’ve been waiting SO long for an app to be made strictly for retro anime. Retro Crush has delivered. You can screenshot, stream to a smart tv or projector, and watch in subbed/dubbed. I love RetroCrush so much man

by GodzillaJake99

Retro anime is my favorite and finding some of these old anime is almost impossible and I’m so glad there’s a place for them now, thanks so much!

by The Yolk Of The Egg

This has a lot of obscure and old shows and it also isn't slow

by LLegato

Can’t believe all the anime already on here. Hope RetroCrush gets huge.

by Crimmy Sun

It’s simple, fast, responsive and has Samurai Pizza Cats. What else matters?

by Kallme25

This helps me a lot because retro or classic anime is my favorite

by Emery L.

Crazy that this is all completely free. The options are a bit scarce for now but definitely excusable considering it's a new service and again, it's completely free. Mostly everything seems to be offered both dubbed and subbed, and hopefully the selection will only grow! Very promising service.

by ShellzDuhh

I love RetroCrush for one because I am an anime watcher that likes to go back and watch older titles while watching newer ones. this app has plenty of titles to keep any classic anime lover satisfied!
