crunchyroll-dl
This script uses the crunchyroll extractor from youtube-dl.
It provides a CLI for downloading anime from Crunchyroll, displaying all videos with season, episode number and avaiable language.
Most importantly it uses multithreading to significantly speed up everything.

Troubleshooting:
- If items from a Playlist aren't shown, they are not available. This most likely happens because you need Crunchyroll premium to watch them or they are region-restricted.
- If you get the error "(HTTP 403) Forbidden" Crunchyroll rejected the request. This was most likely caused by IP blocking. Try a different VPN or renew your IP.
