I'm pretty much done supporting danger-hair's and their shit stories, so all my anime is basically piracy. If I want to support the show, I'll buy a blu-ray. Fucking sucks, because there's no way around this censorous crap. Funamation with Sony, or Crunchyroll with this shit. Stick a gun in my mouth, fucking christ.

I hear you. Piracy, illegitimate as it may be, is a market force in and of itself...

And that's pretty funny when you realize that CR was originally a pirate site that managed to make some connections and acquired some shows legally after a while.

...though I'm sure CrunchyRoll no longer thinks so.

That's what Gay Ben said. He said to compete with piracy, you have to provide something better than what is available by pirating it.

Steam certainly seems to have made a lot of money doing that.
 
I tried legit-era CR for some Ultraman stuff. Gotta say the business model of "literally dangle the toys in front of the viewer during the show" is a pretty good idea on paper at least.

Didn't they removed some Ultraman series last year from their streaming service?

Did they ever give a date for the initial release? I do find it odd they haven't stated anything so that gives me two options:

1) The show is still early in production and they just showed some concept art originally. So it's possible they just showed a teaser as a way to generate hype. There are cases of shows have one off teasers only to suddenly spam announcements the year it's supposed to be released.

2) It's possible that CR saw the backlash to it and decided they best way to save the show's rep was to let things die down and then advertise again sparsely. It's possible they wanted to change their marketing strategy to make the show more approachable.

3) (unlikely, but a possibility) The show got canned or is delayed into the abyss. Even the new She-ra reboot got some attention after it's initial teaser and pre-production pictures. Seeing that we barely have any news isn't atypical, but it's still something to take notice about.

4) The danger hairs have squandered the money and are failing to deliver anything of quality. CR can't say anything or sue them else they'll lose their left wing cred and become a target. This will be quietly hand waved as corporate losses in an earnings call. The "writers" will appear start appearing in other woke projects with little fanfare, like a junior editor for Marvel or writer at Ubisoft.

I once heard that it takes 9 months to make an episode of Futurama and The Simpsons. If we've not heard anything by around March-April, then I say it'll be a case of 3 or 4.

Let's hope it's 3 at the most. 4 is being too nice as it allows this fucking blatant middle finger to what it truly is in every sense - Western animation (fans and also aspiring creative folk, in general.), to even remotely exist. For anime fans, this can be easily ignored and dismissed without much fuss.

They spent the budget on hair dye and hormones so they can't afford to pay their Korean animators.

Edit: noticed noone had linked this guys video from December, he goes over some info from CRexpo.

I honestly really like the pink hair girl's design, but you couldn't pay me to watch this shit.

You could just watch Madoka Magika (tho I don't recommend it):

I remember a time when Crunchyroll was primarily known for absolutely garbage subtitles and poor video quality and people would send you to literally every other fansubber group to avoid their shit quality.
 
Does feel like CR's ripe for a Facebook to it's Myspace, tbh. I doubt Kadokawa would care enough to keep its exclusivity with CR if someone else came along with a similar offer. Using the money to fund a single, smaller exclusive (web-style anime exclusive, perhaps?) would've been a far better route. Heck, have a Kizuna-Ai style host to make news posts and shit.

That's what Crunchyroll Hime was supposed to be, but whoever the artist for that was bailed the fuck out of there years ago.

Wait, did they actually fix their subtitles? :optimistic::optimistic::optimistic:

They're watchable, but not great. A few shows still suffer from questionable localization choices and a lack of proofreading. Nowadays I think fansubbers mostly hate them for stealing their audience and driving them out of the community.

I'll believe it when we get an actual trailer confirming it. I mean for fuck's sake, whenever an anime gets announced, a PV is created and released usually months or years before it ever sees the light of day. Crunchyroll couldn't even cough one up.
