Crunchyroll Party vs Teleparty for anime watch parties
Both extensions sync Crunchyroll playback for live watch parties — but they target different groups. Crunchyroll Party is anime-only; Teleparty is multi-platform. Neither handles async catch-up — that's where AniDachi fits for serious anime friend groups.
