It all starts today. anyway, better look at the link below http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-09-08/crunchyroll-funimation-announce-partnership-to-share-content-via-streaming-home-video-est/.106234 Today is a good day.

| This'll be great, looking forward to it. |
 |
| dont care there is something called kissanime |
 |
| If that means less having to torrent stuff then that's great, assuming Funimations entire library becomes available on CR. |

| Who watches anime legally nowadays, it's illegally or nothing. |
| Well I have CR but I still stream from other sites for the shows they don't have. That said, I think it's cool that they made this partnership. Whether the price of subscription will rise doesn't matter to me because I can afford it. I think it's worth what I'm paying for now, so with more content an increase is understandable. |
 |
| Ehhhh.... Mhhhh.... Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Please explain it to me what's happening since I have no clue what's going on. And thanks in advance |

 |
| This is solid news. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| Daily reminder that YOU ARE A PIRATE |
| I smell a cartel :> But honestly it doesn't concern me since I don't stream. Good for them. Only time will tell if it'll also be good for the consumers who subscribe to these sites. I'd rejoice if home releases ended up being cheaper because of it but I highly doubt that. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| TL;DR Cancer + AIDS = Cancer-AIDS Anyway, back to kissanime |

| I'm not huge on dubs as much as I used to be and had been debating on getting Funi's sub only subscription to view their titles for a while. Guess I don't have to do that now with the partnership and just stick with my CR subscription. I can easily say that I'm happy about this. I also think it's cool that Funi as a result knocked their subscription price down, something I'm sure the dub fans will be happy about. |
 Eat your hamburgers, Apollo. |
| This is great news for me since i accidentally subscibed for 1 more month on Crunchyroll :D |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| just merge the 2 companies already but i guess that will happen sooner or later and this partnership is just to kick start that merger |
| If anything, I'm just excited for the 91days dub *.* |
| It's interesting to see how times change; When I joined the site barely a year ago everyone was down with PPV services, now everyone seems to be down with the pirate way of life. |
 |
| I don't really care, until they sink my boat, I'll sail across the high seas forever! |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |

jc9622 said: Crunchyroll said: Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Phantom World and Gintama is going to get an English Dub? Holy shit! I'm surprised. Especially at Gintama. So based on what I've read, Crunchyroll is going to dub all of the listed series above and not Funimation? Hmm, I have my doubts but I'm still excited nonetheless. In addition to Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Crunchyroll announced plans to release Berserk (new series), Twin Star Exorcists, Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club, Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, Myriad Colors Phantom World, Big Order, and Gintama on home video with English dubs Man, Crunchyroll and FUNimation are giving me more reasons to keep subscribing at their services. I'm not sure but what they meant is that less than 3 months ago crunchyroll anounced that they were dubbing these. However now, i think it might going to be FUNimation who will handle the dubs for them |

jc9622 said: well, i said ''might'' but im pretty sure its gonna be funi now that they're doing pretty much the dubs for every anime funimation and crunchyrol has and will have in the future.DatRandomDude said: I would honestly prefer if FUNimation dubs the series because they have way more experience in dubbing and are currently the best dubbing studio in the industry. If Crunchyroll is going to dub all of the series they listed but they're guaranteed to get assistance from FUNimation's ADR Directors then I'm all for Crunchyroll dubbing anime. Right now, I'm skeptical.I'm not sure but what they meant is that less than 3 months ago crunchyroll anounced that they were dubbing these.

| It's not a bad thing. They have to compete with kissanime and other streaming sites with bigger libraries after all. |
| Also, now Sentai is getting fucked really hard now. Stuck between what they already have and anime that no one wants. |

I'm glad this is finally here but this seems to be more of a strategic economic flare for the community. |

| I don't care since Kissanime has both subs and dubs, has almost every anime in existence in great quality, and it's free. |

DatRandomDude said: This is the thing I'm most confused about, how is Sentai affected by this. AFAIK they barely do dubs, and they're subs are mostly on CrunchyrollAlso, now Sentai is getting fucked really hard now. Stuck between what they already have and anime that no one wants. I literally cut my subscription few weeks ago, but this really makes me want to re-sub again. |

Well, speaking personally I don't mind paying for Crunchyroll, their service is cheap and I can easily pay it with pocket money at a convinience store and . Plus they have an ample selection of obscure nonsense that nobody watches, they were the ones that introduced me to Furusato Saisei Nippon no Mukashi Banashi and Kyousougiga after all. Funimation on the other hand.... I have serious issues with, their translations are retarded (Both dubs AND subs), their service is expensive as all hells and I can't watch 70% of their content because it's region locked. I may actually skip the next Crunchyroll payment depending on how this plays out. So I can see why people are resorting to piracy more and more. A wise man once said "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem" and this may actually become a problem, in my case I will become a pirate if the site fixes the region lock exploit as free streaming sites can offer the same service 24/7 without a region lock and without a subscription fee that will feed low quality subs that I can also get for free. |

| Aside from the dubs I think that it's probably better that CR is getting titles they didn't have previously have out of this like Psycho Pass and Bebop. |

The only 'issue' about it is that most of these users actually go to an illegal streaming site instead of downloading, supporting the hosting site. When all they did was steal other fan sub's work and host it, you may say it's good for the fan subbing group because the audience are exposed to which group subbed it but most of them glance through that and forget/don't care in the first place. Most of the group fan sub for free and don't really ask for money, unless they need money to keep their servers up or something. Some of them give you the option to donate too, but not many do that. TL;DR: illegal streaming sites makes money when the group they stole from doesn't make much/no money at all. |
