Crunchyroll announced last week that it has updated its video player for all users.
The new player uses HTML5 technology, and offers HD video to all users, including free users.
Since its launch, Crunchyroll has made some fixes to the new player, such as preserving volume settings between episodes, and correcting subtitle rendering on Chromecast.
It also currently does not offer the ability to change subtitle language or turn off subtitles from within the video, but Crunchyroll announced that this feature will be available “shortly” along with fixes to typesetting and support for iOS mobile web.
