Best Crunchyroll Watch Party Chrome Extensions in 2026

The best Crunchyroll watch party Chrome extension depends on whether you need live sync, async watching, or multi-platform support. We tested and compared every major option. Here's what we found.

1. AniDachi — Best for Async Group Watching

AniDachi auto-detects anime on Crunchyroll, creates one-click watchrooms, and is the only extension that supports asynchronous watching. Friends mark episodes as watched at their own pace and leave reactions for others to see later. AniDachi offers async watching and progress tracking — Free includes limited hosting; Plus starts at $7.99/month with a full refund guarantee.

  • Auto anime detection
  • Async + live sync
  • Per-user progress tracking
  • Real-time and asynchronous chat

2. Crunchyroll Party — Best Free Option

A simple, free extension that syncs Crunchyroll playback and adds text chat. No account required for the extension — just install, create a room, and share the link. It lacks async features, progress tracking, and auto-detection.

3. Teleparty (Netflix Party) — Best for Multi-Platform

Teleparty (formerly Netflix Party) works across Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, and Crunchyroll. Great if your group watches on multiple platforms. The free tier offers basic sync; premium adds audio/video chat.

4. Roll Together & Anime Watch Parties

Smaller extensions with basic Crunchyroll sync. Roll Together is simple and reliable. Anime Watch Parties supports multiple anime platforms (Crunchyroll, Funimation, Wakanim). Both are free but have smaller user bases and fewer features.
