SolvyTwerk4Jesus said: For 3 reasons. 1. Because stealing is cool to them. 2. Because they think the retards at UTW are less retarded than the retards at crunchyroll. 3. Because they cant get crunchyroll in their country. I use crunchyroll for shows like Gacchimon because the subs and the video quality dont fucking matter. Copyright infringement is not theft. |
| Because they're not available in my fucking country. |
 |
| Every time I try streaming an anime on Crunchyroll it freezes half way through... other than that I don't think it's too bad. |
| Because regional restrictions and BS. + No download option. |

jiyuudansei said: Why? If you don't want to pay for it, you get low video quality and far less animes to watch as opposed to nearly all animes and great video quality when downloading fansubs. You gotta earn money some way, if they didn't they'd be a non-succeeding business and there wouldn't be close to as much anime as there is on there cause they share revenue with the studios they have set up deals with. |

| I am an internet persona! |
| Because others can't be bothered to make bothersome accounts or pay for anything. It gives you much better video quality although having to pay is a big no no for a lot of people. If you are definitely not going to pay (shame shame) then 'Anime Lab' is basically a free crunchyroll, Haven't seen the vid quality though. |

DynastyStar said: If I were to level some... annoyances I have with Crunchyroll is the amount of ads that they have you play, and lack of variety for ads. You could pay that measly $7/month for a subscription and have no ads, you know. |
| I never even visited it. I just heard that you have to pay for it, and I don't want to pay for something I can do for free. Simple as that. Also, I am extremely satisfied with streaming site that I use. |
 |
| Upon getting my android phone one of the first apps I checked were Crunchyroll. The first 7 or so animes I tried to search all came up with blank results. Fairly big animes too. Uninstalled it. Awful selection aside, I also hate the wastefulness of streaming. I'd pay for a Steam analogue, but not a netflix analogue. |
 |
| Nice try CR. CR a shit. They do what fansubs does, but makes you pay for it and deliver mediocre material. They used to steal animu from nips like every other fansub, then when found the gap, monopolized the whole western distribution and makes you pay for the high-quality release if you don't wanna watch the shitty 2bit steam exploding with advertisement and shitty packet loss. The don't support the industry neither helps actual advertisement on the lands they are active and only gives substantial attention to NARUTO and fighting shounen crap. Their subtitles is awfully timed, the typeset sucks and back in the days they got some of the DUMBEST fansubs to do it for them, resulting is some of the most comical lines and/or blank lines when they didn't know what how to translate (e.g: Haikyuu). But above all, you're obligated to stick to the steam. Streaming animu, in 2004+10, no fucking way. Also it would be nice if they learned how to karaoke. |
| Ads every 5 minutes |
| I don't hate it, but I can't stand the mediocre subs. |

| Maybe because you have to pay for it? And for the people who are using it for free, have to sit through adds? |
 |
| Because it supports the anime industry and fuck that right? |

| I've had a CR subscription for almost 4 years now and use it heavily, but I've noticed their subs can be kind of shitty on some shows. It seems pretty variable. Other than that, I wish they'd get more of the seasonal shows, whereas right now they seem to get around 1/2 to 2/3. I have a Funi subscription and Hulu+ to try and bridge the gap, but for some shows I still have to torrent or use IRC. |

| People hate CR? I just don't care about it lol |
 |
Because on crunchyroll you get this: Instead of this:  |
| Crunchyroll has grass on it? |
| Why should I hate Crunchyroll ? Because they tried to get into the german market causing troubles for the anime publisher for DVD and BlueRays. Why - ? Because if the people would prefer streaming it instead of buying an hardcopy of the medium, the all existing publisher would make less money ... But until now it is just a small blow of wind . |
 |
| I don't want to pay for stuff I can watch for free on literally thousands of other sites. And if I don't want to pay and want to watch airing stuff I have to wait a week and possibly run into spoilers in the meantime. I also just don't like how their website's set up; not sure why but it bugs me. |
| You have to have a credit/debit card to get a membership. It's annoying. |
| Because it freezes every five seconds. I don't hate it but when it does that it gets really annoying. |
| I stopped going on crunchyroll long time ago, didn't like the subs. I mean I used to watch Naruto on that site and didn't have a problem with subs. But when my brother downloaded some episodes with better subs, I stopped going on to that site. |

JumpinJackCrash said: Dat plot synopsis at the right hand of the screen, telling you what'll happen in the episode you're about to watch. Also doesn't always have currently airing shows on it. Damn ads interrupting in the middle of action/sentences. You could always not look to your right or just use the fullscreen option. Adblock. |
Cakedog said: SuperRed said: You could always not look to your right or just use the fullscreen option. Adblock. Or be smart and choose not to deal with that at all. It depends I guess. Since "fansubbers" are lazy now. We're going to get shitty translations regardless due to all the CR rips. So there's either no point in watching currently airing anime or hoping that there exists an actual good group out there for the shows. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1278419#msg34721031 This post of mine covers the rest of what I'm talking about. |

| Because if you go on reviews for SAO: "BEST ANIME EVER! SUCH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! DEEP MOVING STORYLINE!" ... my ass. |
 |
| I used to be on /AMP/, but otherwise I don´t know much about crunchyroll so I don´t know why people hate it. |

| Since they were a fan site that went legal. |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| I can definitely understand why some people may prefer other cheaper, higher quality and less legal services for their anime, but I don't see how any hate can be justifiable. CR is doing more good for the anime industry in the West, second only to BD sales. |
| ...Well, I already responded like 3 pages back before somebody bumped this thread. |
 |
| They sucked because they removed Sasameki Koto from their catalog... the first anime I watched on CR and the anime that got me into anime. rip in peace crunchyroll, u r ded 2 me |
