I always have torrents running on my netbook during lectures. (So when I'm finally off class, all my torrents are done and I'm free to watch all I want.) And, as you mentioned, there are tons of ways around school restrictions. For example, Peerblock has .edu lists. Still, I'll admit I need to become more internet saavy:) |
Zalis said: RedSuisei said: 720p I can understand, but 1080p? How many anime are actually animated in or worth 1080p? 1080p = mostly placebo-quality upscales, for people with 1080p monitors to feel good about their purchase, when taking 720p files at half the size and resizing them to 1080p will give roughly the same results. Okay, I can maybe see the point of 1080p on shows like Gundam 00, Macross Frontier, or Code Geass. But come on... White Album? Kiss X Sis TV? Ladies vs. Butlers? Really guys? Heck, on some shows like Magical Index or Sorakake girl, I see people questioning if they're even worth 720p, let alone 1080p. [/OT Rant]Torrent? Go to the right place then you can even get 720p or 1080p Blu Ray rip. Hey chill out mate, I myself also never thought 1080p was worth it unless for some rare titles you mentioned above, and some other mecha anime. Since I saw your name on BakaBT quite often, you should know how people's attitude towards 'best quality possible' right? I also never downloaded 1080p (unless by mistake, I've got 1080 Break Blade because I downloaded the wrong torrent) but many people won't settle fr any less than 1080p. |

LinaInverseLover said: not that i have seen but their video is just from the censored airing's of series that have them that they pick up since they simulcast..therefore they don't wait for the uncut version to air which usually occurs after its initial airing. Uncensored version of a show is usually only released on the DVD of that serie. johnkx said: I don't see why people would hate it Everything is free to watch unlicensed anime, except on HD Community is not that bad You can make groups and such So? What's there to hate? The companies are the ones who subbes the shows. Usually ends up with subs way worse than most sub groups. Have region restrictions and don´do a shit about it even when they said they would. The 2 main reasons why i hate them. I can barely see around 10-20% of the shows i like because of "Region restrictions". In other words. Even if i wanted to give something back i have no way to do it since i´m forced to download the shows i like anyway. |

| I love streaming sites... <3 and CR was awesome -someday- but when it got the sub-right and allowed only some countries to watch online and then the subbing groups' work became much worst than before i found an episode streamed subbed by them on an other site and it was freakin worse ... I totally became to dislike them ! PM: I'm not fanatic toward people who likes CR ='3 |

Actually, CR is just a medium to host the shows. All subbing is being done by the Anime companies that owns the rights to the Anime. So CR only takes your money so you can see the shows the same day as it´s aired on Japanese TV. If you wait 1 or 2 more days you will get the shows for free and much better subs. |

| I used to be a member a long time ago when it wasn't riddled with ads and that many ultra annoying fanboys and fangirls. The General forums are still okay but when you get into the popular anime forums on there, almost all of the topics are just ridiculous and way to many blatant duplicates. Like 10 topics about who is so and so going to fall in love with, in the same anime series forum...seriously it's worse than mal any-day...gag. |

I want to know why because im kinda on the fence :/ 1. People have to pay them to watch 480p or 720p videos when I can get a 1080p torrent for free somewhere else. 2. Ads are repetitive. 3. The community is filled with retards. 4. I hate streaming my anime. etc... |
| I can't hate it, because I've never used it before. I prefer downloading anyway. |
| Streaming is already bad, but paying to stream is ridiculous. Also, they obtained their position because of all the hard work from fansubbers, and now the way they work is like a stab in the back. In short, people hate them because they are sell-outs who rip people off. |
| I used to watch all my animes from CR. Until last year or last 2 years I don't rmb, they partner up with some great company and restricted my country from streaming god damn it. I thought they were everything to me back then lol. Meh, I heard they're ripping others off not really giving the good quality. +1 to what nullredirect says :D |

| CR is pretty good, they are one of the only companies I can think of that helps give back to the creators for streaming, which helps keep a regular inflow of shows. Many people who have bad internet or a low d/l speed hate streaming and would rather torrent or ddl. I personally prefer torrenting or downloading just because if you search for the right sub group they usually are consistent and have good translations. |

Jto182 said: CR is pretty good, they are one of the only companies I can think of that helps give back to the creators for streaming, which helps keep a regular inflow of shows. It´s actually the companies that buys the shows from the creators that earns anything on CR. Not the creators themself. If i remember right, one of those creators actually went bankrupt while they where airing their shows on CR. Jto182 said: Many people who have bad internet or a low d/l speed hate streaming and would rather torrent or ddl. That is one of the reasons. But the biggest is that after CR was bought they introduced the Region lock. So if you don´t live in the US you can forget to see almost every damn show they have. |

Some honorifics cannot be translated such as san, kun, and chan. I once saw a group translate san as dear. Leaving in honorifics is the best way to go. |
| meh i really dislike CR because their video player really sucks (understatement), however i do have a membership to CR. despite this i still download horriblesubs or other fansub groups for the shows, i feel like if i am at least paying to stream the shows on CR then dling it to my hard drive is somewhat justified. I will also buy dvds for stuff i know is good despite having most likely already watched them via fansubs, in both ways i feel like im doin my part supporting anime outside of japan. so i guess im in some sort of grey area. |

Well, my apologies about the assumption, but the term 'otaku' is nothing short of an insult in Japan. Trying to use that word in a positive light doesn't work out so well, especially considering you care about the culture. That, and you won't learn much about the culture at all through anime alone. |

Obviously the casual watcher will accept the standard translation because they don't care about the culture, they just want to watch the show. Well, I kind of agree with what you are saying... kind of... I think that it's good to include things like honorifics in fansubs; as you say, "casual viewers" will not be able to appreciate (or more accurately, understand) those terms. Since anime is essentially a special club that only some should be allowed access to, translating subtitles as clearly and completely as possible into English is something that could compromise that exclusivity. There is a risk that anime may gain more mainstream acceptance. Something that, quite obviously, we want to prevent at all costs. Imagine it; a nightmare world where everyone knows about anime! It would mean that anime would have some legitimacy! How terrible would it be, if instead of arguing or trying to prove our hobby is something more than simply children's entertainment, people just thought that anyway! I'm not sure about you, but I want anime to be as elite an interest as possible. I don't want anime to be something that is readily available for everyone to enjoy; I want it to be something that only the entire population of Japan and myself can enjoy. So my question is, why stop with mere honorifics? We should be trying to filter out as many people as possible, so only the select few can enjoy anime. Including honorifics is a start, but we ought to do more! I propose that we put an end to fansubbing altogether; that way, only people who speak Japanese will be able to enjoy anime. Since Japanese is such a difficult language to master, very few people will have the patience or the drive to learn it, for the sole purpose of being able to watch a few weird cartoons. Then we can go back to the good old days, when only a small handful of Westerners had any knowledge of anime whatsoever! Wouldn't that be just great? BTW, I am sensing a hint of disdain against the otaku community in a few of the comments which is frankly disgusting. Hmm. I wonder why they would think that? |

People have to pay them to watch 480p or 720p videos when I can get a 1080p torrent for free somewhere else. My only question is, "Why do people hate Crunchyroll rips so much?" On most group comments for individual shows, people always say things like "Just CR rips," "Not a real fansub group," "Doesn't even do their own TL, just rips shit from CR." If that's the standard, then shouldn't groups like Thora, niizk, KAA, Coalgirls, and every dual-audio ripper, fansub remuxer, and any other releaser that doesn't do their own translations suffer the same treatment? Of course, if MAL didn't take the myopic stance of labeling every unauthorized anime releaser a "fansub group," we might not have this problem. |

I'm sorry. Although, you did seem to have something of a cocky attitude about what you said. I'm not sure if that was your intention, but that is how I read it. Anyway, the long and short of what I was saying is, it's better to make anime as widely available as possible. Particularly as you seem to be concerned about people showing disdain towards Otaku. I think the best way to avoid that problem, is to help make it more accessible to people. |

wardy said: i dont see why people even say paying for high quality streams. when you can just torrent the weekly 720p version that usually always comes out and is subbed at the same time as the 480p. Then if your a streamer due to space on hdd issues. 1) Buy Bigger Hdd or 2) Delete the episode after you watch I prefer it because it helps the mangaka,Directors and Studios of the anime. Anime is going to die soon if people don't buy volumes and dvds of it. |
