Not sure I want to pay another 8$ a month Typically I subscribe to multiple platforms like Netflix, Crunchyroll, and even HiDive simply because I can afford to do so. But really any platform is only worth it if they offer things one actually has interest in consuming. If you are on a budget and want to watch stuff on HiDive that isn't available for you on others platforms, a way to be able to watch all the Anime one wants legally is to simply wait till a season is over and pay for only one month and consume the stuff you missed the previous season (You can even do this by waiting till after a full year passes and simply consume everything that finished airing the entire year). I do similar stuff with subscriptions completely unrelated to Anime where instead of paying each month I will only subscribe for one month each year. Even back in the early 2000s typically if something wasn't airing in the West on any TV network one would have to wait till it got physically released on DVD. Sometimes it could take up to a 5 years to almost a full decade for some things to officially make it for the Western domestic market and still looking at investing the money to rent or buy the stuff just to consume a single Anime title. So I tend to be under the mind set of being extremely patient when it comes to this medium. Legal streaming is simply just an extra privilege to me to preview Seasonal Anime to give me a better idea on what I intend to buy once it drops on a domestic physical release (because I collect Anime on Physical copies as a hobby). |

| @ColourWheel That's what I plan to do with Hidive. Didn't have any anime to justify my subbing to it when Crunchyroll had way more stuff for me. But I'm at the stage where there is enough on Hidive right now I can get my money's worth. So I'll be using a month sub to wtahc them all very soon then I'll unsub again for a while. |
 |
| nope, just watch it for free on 'those sites'... shrug... oh and HIDIVE is NOT the next big app. haha... yeah... looking at Sentai's weekly schedule for July 22-28 they're streaming... 6 new titles sub and 3 previous seasonal titles' new dub content. there is also no comparison between Funi-Roll's libraries of titles VS Sentai Filmworks' library. if there are specific shows you want to watch on HIDIVE that Sentai got exclusive rights to, that you can't find elsewhere except 'those sites'... sure, it'll be good for you. if you want subs n dubs in more languages than Sentai produces, which i think is STILL just English and Spanish... go with Funi-Roll who is presently sub/dub in 7 or so languages now. it really all boils down to 'do you wanna pay for it'? and 'is it a good cost : benefit'? |

| There should be a "None" option in the poll. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| Currently subscribed to both, largely due to a promotion where an annual HiDive subscription averaged to $4/month (pretty sure it’s over now though). Normally though CR is the only one I subscribe to continuously, other sites (HiDive, Netflix, Hulu) a couple months out of the year. Will also use legal ad based services like Tubi or RetroCrush sometimes for older series. And currently watching Blue Archive for free on their official youtube channel. |

| The good thing about Hidive is that it's way cheaper than any other service out there, the bad thing is that the service itself isn't that good. But at least they tend to license some ecchi anime almost every season, and they usually stream them uncensored. |
 |
| I'd say, after my experiences NOPE. I voted for both since I've had both for some time- but STILL there were titles I couldn't find, and had to resort to piracy anyway. So if you're gonna have to resort to looking elsewhere, have just one of them. Crunchyroll has the far better catalog. I originally joined HiDive for Made in Abyss |
| The main reasons I subscribe to HiDive is one because they've got a bunch of dubbed titles I plan on watching (just finished Made in Abyss S2), and secondly they have a Roku app and it makes it so much easier to watch anime on a smart tv through an app on CR or HiDive. Ofc there are so many titles I can't stream legally (currently Sailor Moon R, Mahoraba: Heartfelt Days which was on CR until very recently and You're Under Arrest S2) so I still have to sail the seas, but for ease of convenience you can't beat a smart tv app, saves me having to hook up the laptop to the tv with an hdmi cable. |
 |
| crunchyroll is still better for now as they say |
| If you have what to watch and have time for more than one platform, then it's worthy, at least on a short term. I used to sub on HiDive occasionally (when it was available in my region lol), Netflix or Disney+ beside a yearly sub on Crunchy. |
| It probably is not. Especially with piracy sites still being online. |
| I haven't found any anime streaming service that's worth it both in terms of what's licensed in my country and what I'm interested in, so if neither was an option I'd vote for that. |
"Most anime makers are basically autistic" - Hideaki Anno |
| I have subscribed to HiDive before, but for specific shows, and only for one or two months at a time. I'm actually OK with the hassle of constantly subbing and canceling, so this works for me. Planning to sub again soon for Jellyfish Can't Swim At Night, Insomniacs After School and Ya Boy Kongming. They don't seem to have an app for PlayStation, though, which is disappointing but not a dealbreaker. |
| I just became a "diver" a couple weeks ago. I like the selection they have, my only critique is my account doesn't seem to remember where I left off in the series between the apps on my Roku and other devices. And for some reason they censored Immoral Guild but not other comparable series like Gushing, Why The Hell Teacher or To Love Ru. |

relying on apps for your anime is literally giving away your freedom, also fuck regional licencing restrictions

| @TheMechaManiac It gives me freedom to watch many anime without the high risk of having my PC ruined. I do use a free VPN to bypass a lot of the regional locks too. When I was younger my access to Anime was on three channels and bootleg VHS. So I suppose I look at it from a different angle then those who think pirating is the only way to go. |
|
| Where my option for neither? I've used both in the past and refuse to support either of them now. But for HiDive specifically, their ui is abysmal even after the "update". Many of their subs have glaring translation errors/localization fuckery. They rarely get more than 2 new shows per season. And to top it all off raised their prices this year. So if all that sounds good, sure take out a subscription. |
Reply to TheMechaManiac
@UberBat sure, you've got VPNs nowadays, but the prices are just not worth it imho. The offerings are getting increasingly split up just as it was back in the days of cable supremacy, except you have to pay much more for it.
Also nyaa is remarkably safe for a torrent site.

| @TheMechaManiac I've also got the added convenience of watching on my tv then sitting at my PC. I like to relax on the sofa and eat dinner whilst watching anime. Especially as I work too. The prices currently for Crunchyroll are still ok for me for what is available that I haven't seen yet. |

TheMechaManiac said: The budget the studio receives to pay their staff comes from the production committee, the committee makes money from licensing deals such as official merch and overseas streaming, not to mention the fact that some licensors are in committees themselves.you still believe animators actually get a share from foreign releases? LMAO. Manga on the other hand only benefits the author and the publisher, many times the publisher is not even a producer for the anime adaptation of their own manga, and when they are, they usually rank very low on these committees. |

| @MadanielFL They should ngl and Kyoani animators actually are as the studio is also a LN editor and exclusively adapts its own LNs thus making lots of money and being able to pay and train its in house employees. You won't make me believe the CR subscription fees are going to animators. Actually, i don't believe even 1% of it goes to them. CR and western Distributors, who are taking a first share of your subscription fee, are parasites trying to make money off something that was very well done by passionate fans aka fansub teams (CR even used to be a fansub website). Then there are the production commitees with companies like Kadokawa and ANiplex taking another share of your subscription fee even though they did nothing other than money laundring. Then, at last, the studio can get some scrubs who won't even go to the animators. And that is only in the rare scenario where the studio is actually a part of the production commitee which is never the case except for rare instances like Ufotable or Kyoani. Most of the time the studio is payed a fixed amount by the production commitee to produce a show without being a part of said commitee and thus won't be able to get a share of later profits made by their show. I think you are begining to understand what i'm trying to tell you. |

This is like the equivalent of calling all car dealerships grifters because one usually can't buy cars straight from the manufacturer and the money one spends doesn't change hands directly to the people who actually work on the assembly lines that physically build the cars.

When one promotes illegal piracy the only parasites are those who are not actually paying for the stuff they consume when it's not typically something legally available for free to begin with. Without Western Distributors that legally license Japanese Anime there would be very little Japanese Anime in the west and likely no existence of "fansub teams" to begin with. As a generous estimation, well over 95% of all Anime that exists in the West can be directly linked to the very same western distributors that piracy advocates like to demonize. Being against Western Distribution amounts to being practically Anti-Japanese Anime when the way Japanese Anime has been economically dispensed legally in the West has pretty much remained the same even before the existence of illegal internet piracy. Streamline Pictures, Central Park Media, ADV Films, etc... If all these western distributors in the past had never existed before, all the "lost media" people like to go on about when it comes to this medium wouldn't even be available in the West even for even those who rely on internet torrents (As an example even on Torrent sites one is not likely going to find a decent ripped copy of "Akira" that isn't distributed by either Streamline Pictures, Funimation, Geneon Entertainment USA, or even the US branch of Bandai Entertainment). |

| OP to answer your question again. If you like enough anime there and your not sure to commit try it for just a month. I think new subscribers get something. And you if you decide it's not for you, you can just cancel the subscription to end that period |

I bought all of Tolkien's Books decades ago. I never felt entitled to see Peter Jackson's Movie adaptations for free simply because I own all the books. lol
| @ColourWheel Stfu corpo slave. Just because you are giving away your money each months to Crunchyroll doesn't make you any better so stop with the snob attitude. I couldn't give two shits about MAL's attitude regarding CR and i don't care how much they were paid for these lame ass ads as i am using U block and i don't see them. |

Completely unprovoked and out of the blue you literally called me out by name for no reason other than a failed attempt at shitposting.
If you are tiring maybe next time you should just shut the fuck and not "infest" these forums with lame attempts to casually attack other Users. If anything you are the one "infesting" this site with your advocacy of illegal pirating.

none. i pirate anime and buy the manga as any intelligent person would do. Also, no, this is not up for debate. I have already identified users whom i am almost sure are crunchyroll opps trying to infest this kind of thread like @MadanielFL and @ColourWheel.

| @ColourWheel Also i'm blocking you as you always have the worst takes each time i see you in a thread |
| I use both. Hidive is the cheapest streaming service so it'll be the last. And CR is cheaper than Netflix and hulu |
| Me? I'm no one. I'm just scum with a wish... |

Do you even know what that exactly is? Because I have never been a corporate slave before in my life, even right after I graduated from college over two decades ago. This whole "snob" thing is just in your own mind. You are literally getting triggered by your own imagination. I never had to make any comments about being "better" or not, something like that never even crosses my mind unlike how an Anime parasite would likely think I guess. Maybe you couldn't give two shits about MAL's attitude regarding CR, yet you cared enough about my "imaginary" attitude to drop my name just to try to make a cheap jab at me. Just because you are blocking Ads on MAL doesn't mean they aren't there and doesn't make MAL any less Pro-Crunchyroll simply because you are ignoring them. lol trinitroglycerin said: @ColourWheel Also i'm blocking you as you always have the worst takes each time i see you in a thread Blocking any User isn't going to help you since no matter what you are still forced to see anything they post on a thread whether you like it or not. Blocking on MAL amounts to basically nothing, specifically if one keeps actively engaging with the User they blocked. lol Better yet maybe next time think twice before trying to make a shitpost directly attack me when you were completely unprovoked to begin with. You got no one but yourself to blame for your own actions. Though, if it makes you feel better go ahead and block me. You were nothing to me before unlike how I seem to be living rent free in your head judging by your cheap jab earlier on in the thread. |
