The additional causes for a Crunchyroll error to occur include;
1. Network error
If your network service provider is down, you will be unable to access the Crunchyroll server. Because the app is an online video streaming platform, you need to continuously connect to a network that operates without any intermittent issues.
2. Poor internet connection
If your Wifi signal is weak, your device will struggle to stay connected to Crunchyroll. In order to stream a good quality video on the app, you need to receive at least 2.5Mbps.
This will help prevent any streaming issues to occur.
