| I was really excited for a second until "Sorry, due to licensing limitations, videos are unavailable in your region." =/ |

Crunchyroll is free as long as you don't mind 1 week delays on simulcasts, 4 ads per episode and the same heavily restricted catalog if you don't live in NA |
laCloud said: Crunchyroll is free as long as you don't mind 1 week delays on simulcasts, 4 ads per episode and the same heavily restricted catalog if you don't live in NA I feel Crunchyroll has been getting better with those annoying adds lately but it is lamentable to hear that Europe's catalog is much smaller than here in the NA. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a European company that is eating up all the shows by securing licensing rights at the speed of light? |

BakaKuro said: You know I just have to say it makes me so happy to see the dub industry grow in spite of attitudes like this in the fandom. The anime industry has long since given up listening to your opinions. Dubs are profitable. Full stop. Nothing you say will change that.and now the shitty dub industry will be getting bigger. with more shitty dubs that ruin anime with funi's bad tastes in western voice actors that dont fit the characters at all |
 |
| The subs are bad to begin with and sometimes they even cencored the anime, so they need to find someone better at translation just like 10 years ago the subs are superb. Well for me watching raw is also fine, plus raw are mostly uncencored if it is uncencored from the start. You can pretty much watch an anime even faster when its released by searching for it on google, many japanese website do provide them. |
| What can I say I'm a woman with class AO968 said: Come back to me when region-locking is a thing of the past (which is probably never). When half of the shows I want to see are restricted to the English-speaking territories, this will be of a very little value to me.

| Well, I'm not sure how to react to it... |
| Pretty darn cool. What's the problem with the region lock? That's never stopped anyone before. |
| Now, if only they could do something about those regional restrictions... I know it's probably not an easy feat, but one can wish.. u___u |

blue-y said: Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that because the license holders in Japan didn't allow Crunchyroll to release in every region? I've seen a lot of people complain to Crunchyroll about regional restrictions but I feel they are complaining to the wrong people. I think Crunchyroll would love to not have any region restrictions because that would mean more business for them.Now, if only they could do something about those regional restrictions... I know it's probably not an easy feat, but one can wish.. u___u |

| This really took me by surprise. I never thought in my wildest dreams that this would happen. Well, at least they can both profit well together. Since I assume CR is going to do all the subbed releases with Funimation doing all the dubs, I don't have to pay subscriptions for both anymore :D That being said, I wish the region-locks were dealt with for the less-fortunate people out there D: |
JunkYardHiro said: Pretty darn cool. What's the problem with the region lock? That's never stopped anyone before. Crunchyroll has a lot of region lock. But Funnimation has nearly 100% of region lock. Even their own youtube channel has region lock. |
 |
| the region locking is simply because CR doesn't buy the streaming rights to all they;re shows in every territory. End of the day the majority of they're paying viewers are in the States so thats where they buy the most show rights for. Smaller area's like my own Australia have less people using the service so its only economically viable to obtain a smaller catalog for those area's. |
Yaoi-Senpai said: If you, like me, had a SubPass then no need to cancel it. Funimation cancelled mine for me already. Gives me a free AllAccess until November 7 and a refund for the rest. With AOD/TAN's brief re-experimentation with simulcasting over it is one stop shopping for me now, Crunchyroll (or raw for stuff they don't get).I'm so happy ^^ I love watching anime in Crunchyroll and I love buying DvD from Funimation. Now I will just un-subscribe for Funimation. ... |
