The Wrapped trend reached the dustiest corner, from Crunchyroll to Rappi, it seems that everyone had the need to condense the compilation of their year, from the food they ate to the series they watched, of course, starting from the perspective of: how time stopped in each of these activities that are part of everyday life.
However, although Wrapped is very fun, they are causing a new wave in which the audience seeks to live in an image and freeze the passage of time, sacralize it? Well, it’s not that big of a deal, is it? At the end of the day, we talk about moments that we consider important and how that part is managed to mark a period of our life.
What did you get in your 2024 Spotify Wrapped? Do you remember the one in 2023? Did you build a time capsule for 2026? Managing time and space are human issues that have structured our existence since the beginning of time: the inability to live in disorder, the beginning of anxiety: periodizing, labeling.
Also, the Wrapped look like “the results of a test”, weren’t they tired of diagnoses? The results are thrown into a flirtatious image that allows you to “show off” or show off a certain part of yourself. You can also avoid it, if you want. However, this exposition between class and culture that sustains the dynamics of Spotify Wrapped reemerges as an interesting structure that once again exerts social hierarchies among the audience.
The strange thing is waiting for an algorithm to close your year. It’s not that it’s bad, nor that there are “better things to do”, at the end of the day, everyone considers the modern era under their own preferences and living styles, the end of the year lately is full of Wrapped and so on. However, the fact that Wrapped abounds is quite nuanced. Because? Do we need them? What do they really say about us? Here I mention a little about the original delivery of Spotify: Spotify Wrapped: the selfie -with filter- of your musical taste.

Did we really need a Crunchyroll Wrapped?
Crunchyroll Wrapped allowed us to see how we spend hours and hours watching anime, however, the otaku labels left a lot to be desired; and loading the results too. Yes, it’s good that the platform has become trendy, it was entertaining and gave us some nostalgia, and although it didn’t give us the aesthetic vibe at the level of Spotify Wrapped, it did make our hearts vibrate. Seeing the hours we spent on the platform also made me want to uninstall the application, I wonder if the same will happen to Spotify users after seeing their Wrapped…
Additionally, Crunchyroll Wrapped tried to add its own touch, which definitely fell a bit short, in the end, from the design of the stripes to the labels that designate you — “Misunderstood and attractive vampire” or “Mercenary with a heart of gold (literally it is cursed and heavy)”—. Of course, people from the guild understand it and we match, with the definitions, in general they are “fine”, they are as humorous and extravagant as the otaku themselves. Although I would have liked a little more care with spelling issues, it didn’t happen, lately there are many oversights of that type.
What was your arc in 2024? I hope that the staging of the most special anime has allowed you to travel a lively and warm path. After this, did we need this quality of Wrapped? The platform’s marketing setbacks are becoming more and more inappropriate. The Crunchyroll Wrapped was entertaining but pretty robust. And the platform does not work perfectly, remember that its interface has problems with the most requested releases.
Perhaps the audience would prefer that the dialogue boxes return, to socialize the anime again, or at least, that the most anticipated debuts arrived without the risk of over-reproduction throwing away the page. Did we need Crunchyroll Wrapped? Will you expect it remastered by the end of 2025?

The problems that Crunchyroll faces after the end of 2024
The highlights from which Crunchyroll will not be able to dissociate itself after the end of the year are the following:
The question about closing the dialogue boxes in each of the series. The exclusivity and lack of the most popular titlesThe limit on One Piece episodes The new path taken by the marketing line The acquisition of Funimation and the possibility of a monopoly on the platform
Crunchyroll faces different conflicts that make the platform have to be more careful with its marketing moves. It is true that it has a wide catalog of anime, however, the different restrictions on deliveries are beginning to cause conflict in the community, which, he considers, was previously notable for its commitment to anime and the correct delivery and concern for expanding. In the series, however, it seems that the objectives have changed and the management is new. Also, it seems to be just the beginning, what’s coming for Crunchyroll soon?
And you, what do you think of the challenges that Crunchyroll has for 2025?
