| Aside from the "Crunchyroll Studios" stuff that CR snuck in there, it doesn't look that bad. They still have some ways to go to catch up with Netflix originals (even the Western produced stuff like Castlevania and Dragon Prince), though, which is odd considering CR is the animation-specific streaming service. |

JustAnAnimeList said: Bunch of shit I'm not interested in. I've given those manwha a chance when there was still some hype surrounding them and didn't like a single one of those. And by the looks of things they're nowhere near the level of popularity they once had, so it's weird that they're getting anime adaptations now. ProfessionalNEET said: What exactly does "Crunchyroll Original" mean? Does that mean Crunchyroll itself is producing them? Seems plausible, but at least one of them (In/Spectre) is already being produced by a different studio (Brain's Base). Also, some of the previews had people speaking in Japanese, suggesting that other "Crunchyroll Originals" are in fact being produced by Japanese studios. However, they did show at least one show that they clearly are making themselves (High Make-Incels-Seethe Spice). So, at least in that case, they appear to being doing more than just licensing. AFAIK Crunchyroll is part of the production committees, so they're actually helping fund the production of those anime, not doing it themselves. Apparently it's cheaper for them to be a part of the production committee and get all the benefits that come from it than buying the rights for streaming, or so I've read in a article once. https://myanimelist.net/anime/producer/1784/Crunchyroll_SC_Anime_Fund If you check out that link you'll see that quite a few anime have received funding from CR, although how much funding CR is providing compared to other sponsors is a complete mystery. Some people say Shield Hero wouldn't have happened without funding from CR but I don't buy that at all. It's a highly popular series, both in Japan and on the West and isekai is booming, Shield Hero would've gotten adapted sooner or later with our without CR's money. Last time I checked, being a sponsor doesn't give you any right to be called the original creator... |

| Pretty hyped for Tower of God and for some more Noblesse |
| "Tower of God" is one of the only shows i'm hyped for tbh. I'm already enjoying "In/Spectre" and i'm interested in what "The God of High School" has to offer. |
 |
| Props to them for finally trying to give people a reason to subscribe. Still not enough for me though. The high guardian spice fiasco made me jump ship and I will never go back. |
 |
| I'm really looking forward to the God of High School. Seems hella original and interesting. |
 Throughout my life, the moments and people who define me... They have all been illuminated by sparks.  |
| I've heard some great things about the Tower of God's story, so I'm looking forward to it. Never heard of any of the others :/ |
    - ✼ - 👏 hyped for 2022 lockdown 👏 👏 all good things come in threes 👏 - - ✽ - - |
| Come to think of it, I wonder if they'll dub any of the shows that are being made in Japan. Crunchyroll makes dubs sometimes, IIRC. If they do, that's gonna be at least one step better than what Amazon does, which I hear is basically that they never even bother to dub stuff. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| I've heard a lot of great things about the in spectre and tower of got sources so I'll probably check it out Other than that I don't think there's gonna be anything else I'll be watching, but I hope they'll turn out well for anyone who's gonna watch them (except high guardian spice cause I'm sure almost no one is interested in it) |
 |
| i wanted to read noblesse and tower of god but didn't had the patience back then. if i had time i could watch these... which means i probably won't |
  koi no yokan. |
