Crunchyrank

About

Let's be honest: anything below 4.9 stars on Crunchyroll is probably garbage.

Okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration. But if you've ever scrolled through a seasonal simulcast page, a genre category, or the "New to Crunchyroll" carousel, you know the feeling. Hundreds of cards. A handful of gems. And a whole lot of forgettable filler clogging up the view.

Crunchyrank fixes that.

It's a tiny, zero-nonsense extension that reads the star rating and vote count already shown on every anime card, and hides (or dims) the ones that don't meet your personal bar. Set your minimum rating to 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 — whatever your patience allows — and Crunchyroll suddenly becomes a much shorter, much better website.

WHAT IT DOES

• Filter by minimum star rating (0.0 to 5.0, in 0.1 steps)
• Filter by minimum number of votes (great for ignoring obscure shows with three enthusiastic reviewers pushing the average to 5.0)
• Choose what happens to filtered cards:
    – Hide them completely (clean, focused browsing)
    – Dim them (keep them visible but visually deprioritized, in case you want to double-check)
• Optionally hide anime that have no rating at all
• Sort anime cards within any section by:
    – Rating, highest first
    – Rating, lowest first
    – Vote count, highest first
    – Or leave Crunchyroll's default order intact
• Show a small rating badge directly on each card, so you can see the score without having to hover
• Toggle the whole thing on and off with a single click when you want to browse unfiltered

WHERE IT WORKS

Crunchyrank works everywhere anime cards are displayed on crunchyroll.com, including:

• Seasonal simulcast pages (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall)
• Genre categories (Action, Romance, Slice of Life, Isekai, and so on)
• "Popular", "New to Crunchyroll", "Trending" and other homepage carousels
• Alphabetical catalog browsing
• Search results
• "Similar to" recommendation rows on series pages

It handles both the classic grid layout and the horizontal carousels, and it keeps working as you scroll and as new cards are loaded dynamically.

WHY IT EXISTS

Crunchyroll's catalog is enormous. That's great. It's also a problem. The official filters let you pick a genre or a season, but they don't let you say "just show me the stuff that most viewers actually enjoyed." Ratings are there on every card — you just have to hover, squint, and mentally filter thousands of them yourself.

Crunchyrank does that mental filtering for you, in the DOM, in real time. No server, no account, no tracking. Your settings, your thresholds, your browsing.

HOW TO USE IT

1. Install the extension
2. Click the Crunchyrank icon in your toolbar
3. Toggle "Enable filter" on
4. Move the slider to your preferred minimum rating (4.5 is a reasonable start; 4.8 is ruthless; 4.9 is for the truly jaded)
5. Optionally set a minimum vote count to ignore shows that only seven people have rated
6. Pick "Hide" or "Dim" depending on how aggressive you want the cleanup to be
7. Optionally pick a sort order
8. Go browse Crunchyroll. Enjoy the silence.

Your settings apply live — no page reload needed.

PRIVACY

Crunchyrank does not collect, transmit, or sell any data. Period.

• No analytics
• No tracking
• No remote servers
• No account, no login, no telemetry
• No ads

The extension uses Chrome's built-in local preferences storage (`chrome.storage.sync`) to remember your filter settings between sessions. That's it. Nothing leaves your browser.

The extension needs access to crunchyroll.com purely to read the rating numbers that Crunchyroll itself already displays on the page, and to adjust the visibility of cards accordingly.

TECHNICAL NOTES

• Manifest V3
• No background service worker
• Pure content-script, minimal footprint
• Works with both www.crunchyroll.com and beta.crunchyroll.com
• Handles SPA navigation and lazy-loaded content via a MutationObserver
