I have no interest in watching some idiot on YouTube try to justify his hatred of Crunchyroll and his love for not paying for anime.

Crunchyroll at least has the decency to contribute money to the industry. People who favor piracy sites and don't contribute a dime toward anime have no room to talk about what's "bad" for the medium.

Edit: Yes, I may be jumping to conclusions about this particular YouTuber, but I've seen enough raving idiots on YouTube (and this site, honestly) that I'm not going to give your little hit piece the time of day.
Important Note: I no longer - in any way, shape, or form - consider myself a moral nihilist (even in my old, convoluted definition of the term). I very much do believe there is such a thing as objective good and evil. In addition, I apologize for any of the posts I've made that are rude, aggressive, or otherwise unbecoming.

I've always striven to walk a path befitting a follower of Christ, and now recognize some of my old comments here as misguided if not outright wrong. If you happen upon them, pray do not let them darken your view of the God I serve. He is kind, even if I, at times, have not been.

Idk what they're trying to do with that price either, Meanwhile Western movie which is blockbuster Collector Edition never been that high.
Even for seasonal TV series the price rarely goes from 60-120.

Well talk about business strategy we know Japan want anime for themselves, and those dumb legal streaming site has limitations for specific region.

That's not really their fault. They often can only get licenses for specific regions, so they can't stream to everyone without getting into legal trouble. Sometimes it's because another company got the rights to the show in the region in question; sometimes it's because they'd have to pay more money and they don't think it's worth the cost. They're not just locking you out to troll you.

Wasn't that means basically the company want it specifically watched only by that region so other site or license will be needed to allow the specific region?

Talk about greed lol it was right that Japan either want to keep anime for themselves, least that just my assumption, my 2 cents there.
Idk if there's similiar example but game industry open to every country unless there's a region ban under government/publisher different reasons, Movie/TV series wise already worldwide, so does some popular cartoon though there's censorship.

Video main points:

1. Crunchyroll is owned by AT&T. AT&T was fined several times for different things.
Video creator Googled "at&t fined". Basically 'shady behavior'.

2. Crunchyroll results in the increasing number of bad anime and the decrease in competition. They attempt to license everything which results in acquisition in quantity and not quality. Your monthly fee to watch a few hyped shows helps Crunchyroll fund their licensing of bad shows.

3. His solution? A new system where people pay for shows that they actually want to watch and not a flat fee for everything on Crunchyroll. This would result in studios that are forced to release good shows in order to make money or nobody would watch them.

Damn that sounds like a terrible idea. I mean unless they were selling shows for like a quarter youd just end up paying way more. Sorry if I'm misinterpreting anything I don't care enough to watch the video though.

If anime industry is dying, its totally on their hand and their hand only. They focus so much on their little merch and stuff to help them out in a bind but yet fail to focus on putting actual effort to their show/work.

I understand focus on what sells, but that's inexcusable for poor quality. They also need to shift focus on a much broader audience. They need to understand the medium is globally recognize, and need to learn to shift their market profit into a global matter rather than regional/national.

the TL;DR:

1. Crunchyroll claimed to give a significant portion of the revenue back to the anime industry, but this was - according to the video - before they were bought by AT&T-Cherning. AT&T, in particular, is known for deceptive practices and were ordered to pay the government millions of dollars for false advertisement.

note: although the video claims AT&T-Cherning owns 80%, they now bought all the minority shares owned by TV-Tokyo, so AT&T-Cherning completely owns Crunchyroll as of now.

2. Crunchyroll is the reason for so many low quality anime - they buy the trash released by the anime companies (quantity over quality). part of the subscription fee is used to pay licenses for low quality shows

3. if many people stop paying Crunchyroll and start pirating, it will force Crunchyroll to offer a better service.

4. they should instead let us watch an anime series in all it's visual and audio glory for $1 / free

tl;dr of the tl;dr: as one would expect, it's another video of a shameless pirate trying to justify not paying for anime and thinking they're doing good to the anime industry
You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

Thanks for the summary. Wasn't about to waste my time watching this lol

But that solution of his is beyond retarded. That wouldn't force creators to make good content, that would force them to make eye-catching content so that more people would 'buy' the show so they can take a look at it

Amazon Japan costs $30 per year, and a few other sites offer free anime streaming, with some caveats.
you can also have a direct subscription to TV Tokyo (something like $10 a month or so iirc) and have access to their entire anime catalog. there's also the option of renting the anime for a dollar or so.
blurays are indeed expensive, but not requirement for watching the shows in Japan.

It's not really a requirement to buy the expensive BD, but I think people would love to buy them to support the Anime Industry, yet the price is too expensive, which is one of the biggest reason why people can't support them.

Currently alternative means to support them is good enough.

Yeah, that’s true.
Also, streaming services outside of Japan will never be good enough if Japanese companies don’t even want to try to create good business model in Japan.

Yet it's amazing how they survived for 100 years.

Japanese Industry is clinging to outsourcing even in making anime, if you've noticed, there's a lot of Korean Names in the Credits and it's the Western Companies are now entering into the market to produce some anime and they're also the ones who are promoting it with their streaming model.

I doubt that they are stupid enough not to notice their problems, so it's just a matter of time till they change their strategy or they will fall and Korean and China will dominate the Industry.

"Greed?" In the words of Gandhi,* "This is a business, not a flippin' charity! We're here to make money! Money! M-O-N-E-Y!"

Jokes aside, companies make their products so they can receive money from the people who consume them. One of the main points of a business is to make a profit (ideally as large as legally and ethically possible.) They're not (primarily) working for the heck of it: they're working because they want to improve their lives, just like nearly every other human being on the planet. They're not under some obligation to make the product available and affordable for everyone that wants it.

If you want to point to "greed" in the anime industry, look at the way the animators are treated and how they often can't even make ends meet on the wages they're given. Trying to maximize profit is natural. Paying your employees abysmal wages - all while expecting intense, high quality labor and forcing them to work until they literally become ill - is greedy and outright abhorrent.

So, yes, anime companies are greedy, but not for the reason you're pointing to.

*Not actually said by Gandhi

Garbage video with innumerable logic holes I could drive a mac truck through and BS that illustrates quite well that he doesn't know what he's talking about or understand things like cause and effect or basic economics. Lastly proposes a "solution" that would simultaneously destroy legal streaming in the states and any chance of Japan making anything other than idol schlock, shounen battle garbage, and echi shows (aka the things Japan wants to watch because they wouldn't care about rhe rest of the world if we had no money for them).

AT&T, in particular, is known for deceptive practices and were ordered to pay the government millions of dollars for false advertisement.

note: although the video claims AT&T-Cherning owns 80%, they now bought all the minority shares owned by TV-Tokyo, so AT&T-Cherning completely owns Crunchyroll as of now.

2. Crunchyroll is the reason for so many low quality anime - they buy the trash released by the anime companies (quantity over quality). part of the subscription fee is used to pay licenses for low quality shows

3. if many people stop paying Crunchyroll and start pirating, it will force Crunchyroll to offer a better service.

4. they should instead let us watch an anime series in all it's visual and audio glory for $1 / free

tl;dr of the tl;dr: as one would expect, it's another video of a shameless pirate trying to justify not paying for anime and thinking they're doing good to the anime industry


Well, at least they're smart enough to know that they aren't helping. ;)


still gve more money to japan industries than pirate tho...

Prove that it's getting better.

Also, where did I say that it's because of CR? It's getting worse because Japanese companies pay their workers shit wages, while pocketing a lion's share of the profits. CR isn't making that worse, I'm just saying that they clearly aren't actually helping either.
