Like really? 1) The reason why "fansubbing is dying" is a) because peoples are ripping their (CR, Funi...) subs. b) because most anime watchers are so impatient that they take the ripped subs rather than waiting for a proper subbing group to do the job. So obviously most of those subbing group stopped. Don't throw the blame to legal alternative like CR. 2) true. Most fansub team were not especially putting lots of efforts in this in the past though. It's a pain in the ass to do. 3) Yes, but that's not the same price to pay either. Buying BR from japan is extremely costly. You can get a year of subscription to CR for the price of 2 episodes in a japanese BR/DVD. 4) You can select 720p instead. And subbers were and are upscalling just the same. |

| Any person who watch streaming made of HS releases or download HorribleSubs resleases or from other team ripping CR and Funi subs should look at themselves before accusing CR of destroying fansub. Fansub teams stopped because there's no point in releasing something hours or days afterwards if everyone download the work of a team that basically do it without effort since he/she basically don't have to translate an typeset it. I subbed anime. Not a lot, but I speak japanese, ad I did translation both in Japanese->French and a little Japanese-> English (with heavy spell check needed in english lol~). And I helped in typesetting too, so I know how it works. And I know the kind of feeling to see watchers doing what I just said. CR ruining fansub? don't make me laugh. |

So did CR used to profit from your subs? |
| Hah? I don't see what you mean here. And None of the shows I subbed are on CR AFAIK. |
|
| Because we all have to pay for it. And why would you do that if you can watch anime without paying? And some people use the free version of crunchyroll which has a lot of ads and less anime. At least, that's what I heard. |
 |
| I used to be against CR, because you can just watch fansubs for free, but now that I'm older I care a lot more about the quality of stream that I'm watching, also no adds if you pay the premium price. I like to share my subscription with my sister so it's cost half as much that way, considering how often we use it, plus it's nice that it's compatible on mobile phones and various game consoles. CR makes watching anime more convenient for some. I used fansub groups and CR. |

Forgetfulness said: It's not so much a policy as it is an issue with time crunch and legal red tape.So does CR have a policy on subbing the OPs/EDs and stuff? Cause I would really like to know what the songs say and seem to recall seeing some show on CR that had OP subs, but it seems that's usually not the case? |
Forgetfulness said: So does CR have a policy on subbing the OPs/EDs and stuff? It's out of Crunchyroll's hands. Usually the music organizations are the most difficult to deal with. Take the case of Sakamichi no Apollon ("Kids on the Slope") which was subbed by the estimable Sam Pinansky. He wrote translations for the OP and ED songs, but the rights holders dragged their feet until nearly half the show had aired. After the scripts were approved, CR went back and intercut the songs with their translations in the older previously unsubbed episodes. So many people here seem to think that Crunchyroll (or Funimation or whoever) has control over things like region locking, song translations, etc., but all those decisions are made back in Japan. Complaining about CR not streaming shows in a particular geographic region, or not including song translations, misunderstands the nature of the relationship between the rights holders the distributors. The rights holders have all the cards. Nikoru-san said: I used to be against CR What does it mean to be "against CR?" Are you "against" the BBC, NBC, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Daisuki, Crackle, and all the other organizations around the world that deliver audiovisual content and collect money for their services from subscribers and advertisers? Did you think it was somehow wrong for companies like Crunchyroll and Funimation to make anime more widely available more quickly for a modest, or even no, charge? How is that something to be "against?" |

RainHeaven said: Drunk_Samurai said: Hopefully HS goes away so we can get real fansubbers again. Don't think that'll ever happen. Yeah it won't. I wish they never existed or instead chose to be a real fansubbing group instead. |
| Last time I tried to watch it, I was caught in an ad loop. My video didn't play. |

| 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.

| I'm hearing that Lorreen the mod is really being a piece of work behind the scenes. So I guess bad modding is another reason to hate crunchyroll. |
Sevy-Chan said: WORDI don't hate it. I just choose not to use it. This may be incorrect, but everyone tells me the site gives your computer viruses. I could give it a try someday, I just don't feel like it. assanime is just better animeseed was great but it was supposed to be shit down |
| Other user hate CR because their translation is the worse, one example would be... http://myanimelist.net/anime/31404/Netoge_no_Yome_wa_Onnanoko_ja_Nai_to_Omotta?q=Neto... However, users instead blame HS who rips from CR/Funi to throw their shits.. But guess what... Those people are fucking retards because it's not HS fault that CR/Funi made a mistranslation... Blame CR/Funi or the translator... Fucking noobs... Other users love CR because it releases legal anime, and supports the industry to keep it going... |
| It's mutual. They hate me too, or why else would they region lock everything away from me? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Because streaming anime is the inferior option obviously. |
 |
Pullman said: It's mutual. They hate me too, or why else would they region lock everything away from me? This. Idk if it's still like this, but I'm already too insensitive to care. Those region laws are annoying af. |
| Crunchyroll is the best legal way of watching anime that i can think of, even the free version is HD and its worth paying the full version, it streams the episode 2 hours after the release on japan Anyway, theres a bunch of other ways of watching anime, so its pretty much your choice. |
 |
| The only way I can see people saying crunchyroll sucks is if there cheap af and dont want to pay for it. |
| Just of personal opinion I believe it's kinda... pointless... You pay money to watch only a certain amount of anime, and not many dubs available (if you like dub)... You have so many FREE alternatives that have full HD, all animes/manga and with subs or dubs (like: kissanime.com) Yes Crunchy roll is ad free, but kissanime practically is as well (despite a few ads on the side of the page, thats it) I just think paying for something that is not only limited but the same thing is available for free is kinda stupid ... all in my perspective though |
| Some people just dislike paying subscription feed. -Mastergold |

| Cause only 3 shows are available in my country like wtf Most of the shows are REGION BLOCKED. -___- |
   |
| Because the one time I tried to watch something on Crunchyroll, there were ads every five minutes and the ad repeated like 6 times. |
| For me it's the limited anime entries like have you really check it out the majority of the anime are like all mainstream not that I hate it but I don't find the one's that I want and that's a deal breaker for me and besides there are way better places to watch at |
| Not a streaming services hater, but I very much prefer to watch stuff in my own media player since I can adjust the visuals to my own liking. For example when playing videos with VLC player I can change the hue or decrease/increase contrast or brightness... those settings can definitely make some anime way more enjoyable to watch. It's of course subjective, but just a slight change in contrast and hue made Netero vs Meruem fight form HxH look way more epic than it already was. Here's the difference (top one is original, bottom two are the ones I messed up with, and found them more to my liking) Sorry 'bout the bad quality of the pics, that's the only one I got my hands on at the moment. EDIT: Just found out I have a 720p episode of OwaSera here so I can use it as an example as well... Original pic at the top, pic with effect at the bottom (pay in mind that since I had to make image smaller you might not be able notice how much the lines are sharper as well) Of course, these are just personal preferences. I bet there are tons of people that prefer the original visuals or people who would go with much different changes than I did. EDIT2: Plus of course I can speed up and slow down videos easily, apply motion blur to some scenes, change the volume to just the right amount, even mess around with framerates. I don't wanna come out as someone who thinks everyone who's using stream services is a filthy pleb, but to me, those tiny changes I can do in media players really give anime that extra bit of oomph it needs when it comes to certain series. |

| Crunchyroll is probably the best streaming site as of now. And got better subs than most other legal streaming sites. If anyone hates crunchyroll , they don't know why they're hating it for. Side note: Hmmm. So this is what a bait thread from 2010 looks like |
 |
| As someone who runs a legal anime club... Crunchyroll is a godsend... they give their rights easily. |
The anime community in a nutshell.  |
| Cause it doesn't work everywhere... I'm not going to pay without even being able to watch. |
 |
Sure like Mononoke, Chihayafuru, Kemono no Sou-ja Erin, and Flying Witch. lycheejane said: Because the one time I tried to watch something on Crunchyroll, there were ads every five minutes and the ad repeated like 6 times. The premium service at $7/month has no ads and higher resolutions. You can sign up for a fourteen-day free trial, too. I'd say you didn't try very hard. |

| I see no reason to use it when you have Kissanime. |
| Idk, I don't hate crunchyroll but free version has little to no good anime in my country so I am not really sure what anime I will get if I pay for it. |
 |
| I don't necessary hate it but I want to use bank account as payment.. I dont have paypal, kredit or debit cards. I watch animes on Kissanime because no adds and there I can see every anime ever. Bad side on Crunchyroll is that there is not every anime ever. |
 |
| I don't understand why people keep bringing up Kissanime as if it's a legitimate alternative to Crunchyroll. The whole point of Crunchyroll is that they actually have permission to show the anime they have and that's something to be encouraged. We all know Kissanime has "everything". Of course they do when they are not getting permission to show them. You're also not helping the anime industry at all by watching shows there. |
| Doesn't work in my country and too many ads Also, doesn't have many old shows |
 |
| dafuq why is this 32 pages long?.... |
 |
| Personally, I don't mind Crunchyroll. But, there are some anime shows that are produced by Funimation and I don't want to pay for 2 services to watch a show that I can watch for free. Also, I understand that I should be supporting the anime industry, but I will do so when I can subscribe to a website that offers all the airing anime instead of 80% of it. |
