Deeper look: async and Crunchyroll

The biggest product difference is async co-watching: AniDachi is built for groups who cannot align on a single start time, but still want one shared watchroom, reactions, and progress. Teleparty's strength is a wide net of services for people who are online together.

For marathon shows or seasonal simulcasts, that async layer usually matters more than having ten streaming logos in the same extension—especially if everyone already subscribes to Crunchyroll.
