Stop stealing from Japan! RREEEEEE!
Good. Kill all streaming sites. Zoomer faggots won't be able to watch anime then
Netflix and amazon are taking over anime streaming
>>288208830Good. I hope Crunchyroll dies.
>>288208830>Jack up prices>loss moneyAll is right in the world
>>288208830Zoomers are too retarded for torrent, in reality people got tired of paying 10 streaming services and now Netflix, prime and even Disney have tons of anime.
>>288208830>ai>crunchyroll>facebook post>streaming
I'm fine with this, fuck Crunchyroll, here's hoping they die outright so normalfags finally fuck off from anime I wish, in reality this is probably just them moving from Crunchyroll to Netshit or Amazon, but either way, fuck Crunchyroll.
After a year so bad, that is not a big surprise.
>>288209019>either way, fuck CrunchyrollAgreed. I've been around long enough to remember that they got their start charging people to watch low quality streams of free fansubs. I don't care that no one currently involved with them was actually there for that, I'm still not going to support them.
>>288208830not enough, we need that line to go further down
>>288208830So that's why they went on a warpath against all pirate sites, kykeroll was simply lashing out in yandere fashion against all anons for not choosing it.
You do know where your subbed anime comes from right? no one does fansubbing anymore for free
>>288208830Is the western anime hype over yet?Also kill yourself for posting a shit thread.
>>288209474>You do know where your subbed anime comes from right?Bilbili, MUSE, Netflix, Amazon, HIDIVE, etc. etc. etc.Crunchyroll will not be missed except by paypiggy retards.
>>288209474I'm willing to learn Japanese if Crunchyroll dies in exchange.
>>288208830Big caveat: The decline mentioned is specifically Crunchyroll's Japanese-specific branch located in Japan.Their Western business is still raking in considerable revenue.https://gamebiz.jp/news/426150
>>288209474Shows with no subs or very late subs are still getting fansubbed, even this season.On the other hand, if fansubbing were to become a mass phenomenon again, it'd probably be mostly MTL based.Western anime companies are not needed and should all fucking die.
>>288209786Of course it had to be pure clickbait.
>>288208849so where we superior torrent masters will get the subtitles?
>>288210092There's nothing superior about you, ESL-kun.
>>288209786Good, I need them to keep making dubs.
>>288210185go back and kill yourself normalfag
>>288208830>streaming>cr>japanNo, we deserve better than the localization slop we've been getting.
>>288210116yeah, that's the joke.
>>288210185Genuinely one of the worst posts I've seen on /a/ ever. I actually wish you'd die in your sleep
>>288210210I also have sex.
>>288210240I don't think about you at all.
>>288210240Dub > SubAlways.
>>288210280Imagine being this committed to being a retard.
>>288210185You actually need to go back
>>288210246>>288210255>>288210280boring ragebait
>>288210312It's my first comment here. Most are against you.
>>288210312>I haven't heard the dubbed OP to RayearthYou are missing out my dude.
>profits down by 69%>profitsBut it hasn’t cut much into their overall revenue? The company is still profitable, which is bullshit for any anti-loli concern in the current year
>>288210387I'm really not missing out on hearing the same six or so people phoning it in in every role in every series.
>>288210410Those people all retired, your argument is as illogical as a woman.
You hired trannylators, you deserve the dip. Enjoy your "sus" profits, senpai.
>>288208830This dumb shit company got hacked and my password that I use on all my accounts got leaked. I had 300 dollars stolen from me. Fuck crunchyroll
>>288210185Exquisite bait
>>288210441I hereby crown you the King of Retards.
>>288210441If it only cost you $300 to learn good opsec you got that lesson cheap.Don't reuse passwords and get a manager, retard.
>>288210092Fansubs
>>288210426Am I hallucinating or did subtitles used to just include common otaku words like "tsundere"?Like, why even localize this sentence? The audience for this should just know what tsundere means unless they are posers.
>>288208830Total Crunchyroll Death!
>>288210584Nah, you're right.It's just how the modern era is, every localizer is just a failed writer so they're not really thinking about the audience who would be interested in the original work, they think they're appealing to some audience that's interested in THEIR work and wants to see them "leave their mark" on someone else's shit.
>>288209786What does the Japan branch actually do if they don't provide streaming services in Japan?
>>288210584You have no idea how many Pronoun Bio and Flag Names who hate video games and anime get into trannylating with the sole purpose of being annoying people to "own the chuds"The same energy as a little sister trying to annoy her brother by making his action figures have tea parties and be married playing house.
>>288208830FUCK OFF BACK TO INSTAGRAM YOU FUCKING FAGGOT
>>288210818Malding
>>288210092You should know japanese by now
>>288210584They did. Sometimes they would throw in a TL note at the top for the retards such as "keikaku means plan".It was better times.
>>288208830Crunchyroll need to die.
>>288208830I unironically see no merit in Crunchyroll's continued existence.Their business model is to position themselves as a middle-man between normies and something that's always been easily accessible for free.Hell, it was common sense that watching fansubbed anime was the way to do it, and it was normal until there was a mass migration of redditors who were so fucking consumerist they couldn't fathom not paying for shit.Fansubbing was free and normal before, and it can be free and normal again. Hell, Crunchyroll is just going to replace their translators with AI anyway, and even if AI is evil and shitty, it's still better than the retards Crunchyroll hires anyway.What utility do they even have as a company other than putting shit that's been free for decades behind a paywall?
>>288208830Crunchyroll fucking sucks. They sold out and now they're getting what they deserve.
>>288210616>they think they're appealing to some audiencePretty sure they love just breaking the hobby on purpose, they know it's making (You) angry (and for good reason too).
>>288208830The biggest issue I have with them is that they bought out Right Stuf Anime and there are tons of BD releases that are currently in limbo.
>>288208857>from shit, to absolute shit, to absolute fucking shit, to the biggest shitYay we won...
>>288210426Didn't one of them openly admit that they just really REALLY hate the concept of tsunderes? None of these people can possibly be called a "professional".
>>288209630>>288210092>>288210908I am become japaneset. watched yugioh for 20 years
Shill your social media clickbait elsewhere you third world zoomer filth
bragging timewho here never paid to crunchywho here never paid to localiz*r (hard r)
>>288210712Think about it, anime in Japan is just like television here, no one service has enough leverage to carry all the shows and in JP all animes are probably just scattershot fragmented over 10 subscriptions just like western TV.
>>288208830Based, hope it keeps dying
>>288212184It won't, it will only get worse.
>>288208830Studios don't see shit from stream sites
>>288212090I've never used crunchy. I learned to torrent in the early 2000's and never looked back. I buy BDs of shows I like/want to support.
>>288208830lol
>>288210809they learned japanese despite hating japanese games and anime just to own the chuds? that's some dedication
>>288208830>CrunchyRoll losing profitentirely deserved for making their service worse AND more expensive.Don't use a drug dealer business model if you don't want drug addict costumer satisfaction.
>>288209474>no one does fansubbing anymore for freeBecause there's no need for them when someone else is already doing the work, duh. If official subs were to disappear overnight, naturally we would eventually return to fansubs like in the old days, except we would be dealing with MTL shit this time around, much like the scanlation scene, but that's still better than Crunchy's shitty subs.
>>288210410Watch the ENG intro then switch to JP subs
>>288210584Yeah, when they were translated by fans for fans.Now they're translated by corpos for the masses.
>>288210584>tsukkomi>boke>manzai>jelly filled doughnut
>>288209474We will RETVRN to fansubs if/when CR isn't around. Look at Thunderbolt Fantasy S4, when it was airing, it seemed as though CR wasn't releasing it like it did with past seasons, or at least it wasn't doing simulcast. When it sunk in on anons that no CR subs were coming out, within a single day, anons banded together and started putting together their own translation. And they did it weekly, like the old days. The threads were also great and genuinely felt like old /a/.
>>288210584All according to keikaku
>>288208830>anime goes woke >stops selling Funny how that works.
>>288212582>learned japaneseIf by knowing jap 101 plus running google TL counts. Also, you don't need to actually learn japanese if you're gonna make up your own script anyway. A lot of these types are surface level fans, they like the big name works or the trendy viral memes, get into it and then when they try to get deeper into the world, they find the materials too "problematic".
>>288212582If you've been on the internet long enough, you've seen plenty of losers shitpost for literally 18 hours a day on an autistic crusade that doesn't even make sense. Now that transgenderism is a thing it has attracted those people like flies. They genuinely have nothing better to do with their lives.
>>288212582Spite is a powerful motivator.
>>288209786no it isn't, stop letting your browser translate the page, it just says crunchyroll is a subsidiary of sony
If a business is shit like Crunchyroll, then they deserve to fail.
>>288210712
I miss fansubbing.
>>288213447Dog you're retarded.>The May 19 issue of the Japanese government's Kanpo gazette reported that the Japanese branch of Crunchyroll's net profits for the fiscal period ending in December 2025 were 453 million yen (about US$2.85 million), a drop of 63% from the previously reported 1.239 billion yen (about US$7.79 million) in 2024.
>>288212582They mostly just rewrite mtl.
>>288209368wow, a rare inori post~
>>288209474I will learn nipponese if it means less normalfags infesting my hobby
>>288208857and they arent actually subbing anything
>>288208830stop funding shit like high guardian spice
>>288213811How did those idiots even think there's a demand for that crap lmao.
>>288213825Hubris
>>288213811And gookshit. Especially with poor adaptions/animation.
>>288208830Betraying Japan by rigging that ZANICHI anime Solo Leveling into AOTY caused this btw
>>288208830>Shit selection of anime>Shit quality>Unreasonable pricing>Horrible practices>WHY ARE PEOPLE PIRATING US!?!?!?Streaming services ironically doing everything that pushed people to pirating in the first place will never be both funny and sad.
>>288209474>your subbed animeDon't care, I'm watching raw straight from Jap TV now. All the filthy companies getting rounded up and dealt with would just lead to fansubs being revived anyway.
>being happy about CR dying>but you watch their subsStop being a thief. Without them you wouldn't be able to watch anime.
>>288214092WrongDeath to CR. And death to Daiz.
>>288212582>they learned japaneseThose cunts literally brag about not knowing japanese and doing bunch of rewrites.
>>288208830CrunchyRoll needed that money to bring high quality anime to the west!
>>288208830>profits declineddisingenuous as fuck headline, they still made a profit
>>288211870May Allah destroy them
>>288208830Fuck the dubbing industry for what they did to Vic. The only good outcome is that Marzgurl is a nobody failure and her Manlet husband works at theme park cafeteria.
>>288208830Professional quality fansubs
>>288212155yes this is true, you got several dozen streaming websites here in Japan that you have to subscribe to if you wanna watch every show. Or you have to pay for several different cable TV providers to watch them as they air.
>>288212582there was a lot of news with many "controversies" about misstranslations that the trannylator doesnt even know nipthey are basically failed writers that latch onto anime, because they are willing to take the corpo pennies for "work" that any real translator wouldnt accept
>>288211974hey, at least Netflix and Amazon employees are trained to use ChatGPT
I'd fucking pay the 15$ or whatever it is if they have everything and there's no glitches and delays and all of that shit. Seriously i would pay right fucking now
>>288213811That was 2021. They haven't produced English original content since then.
>>288209474I'm using AI if it go downIt's like pottery...Streaming started with youtube...now it'll end with youtube...(Youtube AI can sub videos.)People will be back to streaming anime on Youtube to be able to read it with youtube AI ....amazing..
>>288208830Deserved
>>288213825>lmaoAs long as people like you exist, there's a target audience.
>>288209474I don’t watch seasonals
>>288212582They are terminally online enough that they’re willing to basically dedicate their entire life to internet shitposting.
netflix is actually better because they often have japanese subs as well as english, whereas crunchyroll never does
>>288211870Seriously, being a leftist should outright ban you from some jobs.
>>288216375It does in some countries. But being on the radical right also can get you banned, so you would whine about injustice or something.
>>288216316So, OVAs and movies only? Or just seasonals from years back?
>>288208830Maybe if they weren't absolute trash at every single level, they'd make more money.
>>288208830>former pirate streaming site crying about pirate streaming sitespoetry
do we really have to write laws about misleading article headlines that mislead by not having context required for the sentence to mean anythingWhat will it take for 4chan finally ban OPs that dont include a link to the source articleIs moot waiting for EU to regulate it for him? What the fuck
>>288216402>not wanting this shit constantly shoveled down your throat makes you 'radical right'public school teacher taught you good
>>288208849I doubt Crunchyroll is used by Zoomers. It is predominantly Millennials and Gen Xers like (You)
>>288217282>durr hurr
>>288208830>country blocked content>catalogue full of literally fucktons of isekai instead of other good titles>censored subsYeah, I'm totally surprised
>>288217282>>288211870>>288216375There's nothing offensive about "male fragility" and it is weird to demand firings over it when you tolerate harsher words like "pussy", "cuck", "soiboy", "wimp", and "simp" all the time.
>>288218693>There's nothing offensive about "male fragility"It’s tumblr man hating troon lingo>you tolerate harsher words like "pussy", "cuck", "soiboy", "wimp", and "simp"In translations? No.
>>288208830Other services are entering anime
>>288218693>There's nothing offensive about "male fragility"correct. the offensiveness is shoe horning it in for political good boy points, its no different than a frieren dub adding a line "you can tell a demon from its hooked nose"

Why's this garbage thread still up
>>288213811>>288214181>high guardian spiceThis was the fault of AT&T and Warner Bros. management giving a cartoon network reject to Crunchyroll after deciding to expand into creating original content.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrunchyrollPrior to any management by restrictive American companies, Crunchyroll did Pro-Fiction stuff like pic rel. Its downfall began after Japan won its bid on Sep. 7th, 2013 for the 2020 Olympics. Cherin Group bought a controlling interest in Crunchyroll on Dec. 3, 2013. Then, a joint venture (Otter Media) was established between AT&T and Cherin Group to manage Crunchyroll on April 22, 2014.In Janurary 2018, AT&T (which also owned Warner Bros. at this point), bought out the final 20% of Crunchyroll owned by TV Tokyo. August 2018, AT&T bought out Otter Media and became the sole owner. Then,https://deadline.com/2018/08/ellation-launches-division-to-create-original-content-names-women-in-animation-president-margaret-dean-studio-head-1202449733/> the launch of Ellation Studios> Margaret Dean, former general manager of Stoopid Buddy Stoodios and current president of Women in Animation, has been named head of studio for the new division.https://www.thegamer.com/high-guardian-spice-interview-raye-rodriguez-crunchyroll/> I created High Guardian Spice in 2013. It started as a 5-minute storyboard pitch for Frederator while I was interning there. It didn’t get picked up> Eventually I pitched it to Crunchyroll in 2016 and they liked it a lot, though they didn’t have the bandwidth at the time to make it as a show. We started developing it as a comic in 2017, then I repitched it to them as a show when Marge Dean started at the company in 2018, and it quickly changed from comic to TV show!https://www.skwigly.co.uk/the-fear-of-trans-stories-in-animation/> Like, when I had pitched High Guardian, I was pitching it as a kids show for like Nickelodeon, Frederator, Cartoon Network etc, so I was kind of downplaying the queerness of it.
>>288218693The offensive part about it is that it's paid propaganda that is destroying actual content.That's a completely different thing than people just having freedom of expression, but I guess a corpro-leftist cocksucker like you can't understand that.Here's a hint for you; I'm not getting PAID to call you a fragile pussy, nor am I ruining a product to do it.
>>288227885Yeah AT&T was being run by a fucking retard that fucked up the Time Warner Merger only to end up getting booted and AT&T willingly selling off Time Warner to escape that shit.
>>288227885 (me) Continuation:After 2021, Crunchyroll was sold by AT&T/WarnerMedia to Sony Pictures. Now, it's under the management of the awful Funimation, and Crunchyroll practically doesn't exsit anymore. What people call Crunchyroll is actually Funimation.Funimation has a continued history of unfaithful localizations and censorship that is well-documented. Additionally, Sony has its own history of censorship & restrictions, especially post-2018 and dominated by (America) Sony Interactive Entertainment.Despite this, some may notice that (Japan) Sony Music/Aniplex also manages Funimation/Crunchyroll, and they may express skepticism on the claim that (America) Sony Pictures can enforce restrictions. An example of Sony Group's branches operating independently was the remastered Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon. Sony Interactive Entertainment/PlaySation censored its art book, while Aniplex included it uncensored for the Nintendo Switch. See image attached. (Note: Nintendo, particularly European and American branches, have continued to enforce their own censorship policies/Anti-Fiction restrictions.)Contrary to the Sony Music/Aniplex's management, the Crunchyroll platform is not accessible in Japan. Furthermore, it's directly managed by Funimation. Therefore, pro-expression Japanese management must be limited, and Sony Pictures & Funimation will always unsustainably appease American Anti-Fiction activists.It's unbearable how Crunchyroll consistently cultivates dislike or apathy. Anime fans see news like in >>288208830 yet we will never consider advocating for Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll will never be the place for anime fans because of censorship, vandalized/unfaithful translations, their refusal to create and support high-quality .ass subtitles, and their out-of-touch management.I want a Crunchyroll that we can all shill. Crunchyroll is an anime-only platform, yet their management actively ensure anime otaku must despise the platform.
>>288221776>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>dub
Reminder that Crunchyroll started out of a streaming site that stole anime and K-drama fansubs and called them their own. Also don't forget that CR bought and killed Rightstuf, one of the best western sites for buying English anime/manga.
>>288217297Completely incorrect. Every single zoomer uses either CR or YouTube to watch anime if they watch it at all.
>>288230003I'm a zoomer and I torrent. Don't use absolutes in an argument because one contrary example renders it incorrect. "Gen Z (do not use marketing terminology) are more likely to use CR or YouTube to watch anime than older generations" conveys your ideas better.
>>288224635NahBy the time anitaku went under it had 10x more views than nyaa on the same month.Piratefags used nyaa stats to prove jop pirate more than them but forgot westoid thirdworlders are all in on streaming lol.
>>288229526They also were the first pirate site to partner with actual anime committees from japan to share profit. But ad revenue was shit for them and the japanese side went "or you find other way or you are dead".
>>288229526>CR bought and killed RightstufIt really was Sony.
>>288230642>but forgot westoid thirdworldersThose are not people so would not be included with any stats.
>>288208830>B-B-B-BUT GAME NEWELL SAYS PIRACY IS A SERVICE PROBLEM! IT'S CRUNCHYROLL'S FAULT IF PEOPLE PIRATE!What the fuck do people want from crunchyroll? They do simulcasts and translations of like 7 languages, the pirates just steal that shit. The streaming quality seems pretty good, especially compared to some of the shitty piracy sites I've used with shitty ads and constant buffering.What the fuck is crunchyroll supposed to do? People say "I pirate because crunchyroll is shit" but you were always going to pirate no matter how good crunchyroll was
>compared to some of the shitty piracy sites I've used with shitty ads and constant bufferingFor one, actual quality control. CR constantly has typos or outright formatting errors where they'll skip or fuck up lines.
>>288231054Opposed to fansub shit? Let's be real though, if crunchyroll had absolutely immaculate grammer, you would still pirate. You would still claim "CRUNCHYROLL IS SHIT THAT'S WHY I'M JUSTIFIED PIRATING" and when people ask you why it's shit, you'd either not answer or stutter about gabe newell's quote again
>>288231195I will never give CR a cent out of principle since I was around before they went "legit" and remember what a piece of shit its founder was.
>>288230986I want them gonethey are a blight to anime
>>288231242I guess that's fair, but something tells me that if crunchyroll was always a friendly legitimate company, you'd still pirate.The crunchyroll founder being a piece of shit isn't why their profits dropped 63%. A couple of typos aren't why their proftis dropped 63%. Piracy is why their profits dropped. I mean, competition from netflix also contributed, but still no one has given any magical solution crunchyroll could do to make their service so good that people would happily pay a subscription like they pay for steam games. There's nothing the companies can do when their product is ripped and easily viewable withing 10 minutes
>>288231370and "localization" is supposed to help with that?how does owning the chuds help make a better servicetheir time is done. They need to be corrected from the market
>>288231370I don't pay for any streaming service. I'll occasionally buy physical merchandise/BDs/manga/eroge/etc if I enjoy a series enough. Paying for streaming is fucking retarded and always will be.
>>288231428Perfect. I'm not shaming you for this. I'm trying to get to the bones of the argument where people act like crunchyroll is inherently shit and they are the problem, when the real problem is piracy. If you don't want to pay for streaming, that's fine. But don't pretend that crunchyroll needs to "shape up" if they want profits.
>>288231450>crunchyroll is inherently shitThey are. What are you even trying to defend? They're grossly incompetent at the most basic fucking level.
>>288231477But nobody has said how they are incompetent. Other than some typos and I guess occasionally having problematic localization. But let's be real, you don't care that much about that. Or if you do, 63% of their proftibase leaving doesn't care about that. I don't have anything for or against crunchyroll, I'm just trying to make people face reality that piracy is their biggest problem, yet some people claim that "if crunchyroll was good, we'd all pay and no one would ever pirate!"
>>288231546Gaben figured out the problem 20 years ago: Its about service, not piracy. I suspect you are parroting jap talking points, they are stuck in the 90s regarding that issue, litigious and bitter against anyone that dares say no to their practices. Regarding Crunchyroll, everyone that works there should off themselves, no good thing will come to anime from an western company, NETFLIX already permanently affected what type of manga and anime is produced, and it will only get worse as the medium becomes less and less Japanese.
>>288214219Typo aside, the translation's not even correct. The sentence actually reads:>恐らく録画映像には、犯人に改変された僕の姿が…>It's likely the culprit's altered my appearance in the video footage...Both fan and officials subbers get way too loose with the wording and it always pisses me off. It's like, great, glad you guys understand the plot, but just put the fries in the bag.
>>288231546>I don't have anything for or against crunchyroll>redditspacinghow much do you get paidbut I'll bite: I hate cr. I'll do/say anything and everything to shit on them until they go away.
>>288231609The amount of times this Steam shit is brought up is retarded. Especially when people want a "Steam for anime" or manga or whatever. People complain about censorship on streaming sites but Steam does the same shit. I can't count the number of times I've seen people complaining about censored VNs or just games in general on Steam. Not to mention when they allow studios to remove older versions of games and replace them with remasters or phone ports. Imagine an Anime Steam removing the TV version of NGE and all you can watch is the Rebuilds. Plus their DRM, regardless of how much people want to say that doesn't matter because of such and such way around it. Retarded idea by retarded people.
>>288231711You are absolute right, still it is the best service for PC gaming available, even with all these faults.That problem could be mitigated by a little bit of Japanese initiative, but they rather take a quick buck from Gaijin and let them figure it out, only to sperg on Japanese twitter later about how piracy is ruining their business model. I am sorry but if their culture believes you are obliged to take shit from corporate assholes because a better product isn't financially viable enough, that's their problem.
>>288231711Do you even remember how big of a fucking mess PC gaming was before Steam? With bullshit like CD keys, install limits, half-baked DRM, etc. Not to mention even buying PC games was a shitshow as consoles became more and more successful with game shops relegating PC games to one shelf that was 90% just copies of WoW and Guild Wars.
>>288232256Stuff being shit before doesn't justify a new brand of shit.

>>288209474>kill the free fansub scene, resorting to VERY questionable means>OY GOY! You better support CR or you won't see subbed anime anymore!Nope. Someone else will pick it since the demand is strong. And if no company does it we'll go back fansubing. You are not necessary or irreplaceable
>>288208830that's what you get for shitting out unchecked chatgpt translations.
>>288209474I had enough of anime anyway.
>>288209474I'll just watch raw. we watch anime to see pictures move, the dialogue is cringe.
>>288232713Please. Chat GPT is far better than CR trannlyators.
>>288208830I wonder how Crunchyroll would be in an alternate timeline where it's a Valve-tier company. What could they have done differently?

>>288217297Lol dumbass, millennials and gen x were from the torrent era. Just admit it like all your fellow zoomiggers: "hurr durr torrent is too complex and difficult to use, I prefer muh streaming sites"
>>288208849>>288230552>but I'm part of Z and I don't do that!Nah I'm also a zoomer and I can admit we use streaming services for the most part.Most zoomers "into anime" are posers too. Their watchlist consists of Death Note, AOT, Vinland Saga, etc. Because it fits a certain aesthetic they're trying to express. They genuinely think there's no experience like AOT and everything else is "The time I got hit by a bus and got transported into a world where I'm not a loser" slop.
>>288233506Gen Z is a generation entirely comprised of normalfaggots, there is no counter-culture present at all.
>>288208830it's not even about piracy. the reality that there are already enough overpriced streaming services, and the mainstream audience would rather pay for a service like netflix or hulu, that offer way more options available to them + anime, than a service dedicated entirely to anime. actual "anime" anime that isn't just jjk and frieren are still seen as "weird" to the mainstream audience, which is why the rest are dumped on crunchyroll, a platform for all the "weird anime fans". a platform like neflix would heavily censor it, so their audience doesn't feel "weird". yet crunchyroll still has bad actors mistranslating and censoring their content. now the anime fans can't even watch anime.
$15 USD 1 off payment for downloadable digital copies of 12 standard length anime episodes, untranslated or soft subs.If you need me to make an account for your webstore fine but I'm not paying for a subscription.I'm willing to pay to watch anime, it just needs to be via the criteria suitable to me.But noooo there can't be a 'digital downloads' section on the storefront Trigger's website links to that has affordable prices, only the expensive blurays and dvds to import.

The antisocial freakshows wearing programmer socks on /a/ believes themselves superior to a company that actually helps keeping anime studios alive. Naturally this low IQ mindset will fuck their faces should they get what they want (piracy only option). But anything to dab on da normies who still has their dick

>>288235918No, you are just tired.>>288209474Every company uses AI these days. If they all died people would use AI. Nothing would change except these fuckers would not be getting any money.No, I'm wrong, the translation will probably get more accurate because there'd be no agenda behind them.
>>288237168>he translation will probably get more accurate because there'd be no agenda behind them.The translations will be trained on the agenda pushers' work.
I hate crunchyroll but Hime is so erotic... I want to fuck her with my pirate cock
>>288208830Stop trying to inject identity politics and then we *may* consider supporting. Everyone is so sick and tired of your virtue signaling and hijacking every media we like (video games, anime and manga). You willingly shot your own foot and now trying to pin the blame on consumers in confusion for voting with their own wallets. Stop crying like a little bitch. You reap what you sow. People are willing to do translation on their own rather than getting exposed to the propaganda on one thing they want NO politics involved whatsoever.

>>288236419>that actually helps keeping anime studios aliveFrankly said, anime was fine with Japanese money alone.The Japanese enthusiasts and, for children's shows, the Japanese mainstream were more than enough to finance all the anime you could ever wish for.I am paying my fair share, but I'm left wondering, if I'm not rather hurting anime with that money. "We", the West, are so completely fucked in the head, that any influence from "us" can only be bad.I'd prefer to buy a subscription with a platform run by Japanese in Japan and with the option to watch without subs, because fuck having letters thrown at you, even though you understand the original Japanese dub just fine.
>>288208849Zoomers rent free in your mind
>>288238531Only because they'll never own their own home
>>288210584Because in their eyes that is a lazy/incomplete way of translating, or something to that effect.A lot of the old anime/VN fan translators who are still around think this way, mainly the ones who went legit and made a career out of it.
