Frequently asked questions

Which is better for groups that can’t always watch live?

AniDachi currently supports live rooms, so a synchronized party needs a shared start time. Your own Plus/Pro access and recording permission let you save personal progress for later viewing. Async catch-up and shared group progress are coming soon.

Do all viewers still need Crunchyroll?

Yes. Everyone still streams from their own Crunchyroll account. AniDachi adds live watchrooms, sync, chat, reactions, and voice/video on top of personal streams.
