| I don't hate Crunchyroll! It's almost the only way for me to enjoy anime legally where I am. I just wished they had a larger library. Maybe more classics. |
| @Angry_Bellsprout You seem really angry at Crunchyroll lolz. I don't hate Crunchyroll myself. In fact, its where I first started getting into anime. I avoid it now because it mainly only shows the censored version of shows. Why would I watch a censored version when there is an uncensored, higher quality out there that I can DL and have even when not connected to wifi? |

| I don't hate crunchyroll all that much. I just hate how when I'm viewing one episode theirs like 5 30 second advertisements throughout that ONE episode. I mean one or two is fine but anything past that is like "EHHHHH NO" Also I hope all you torrenters are buying the DVDs of those animes when they come out if you really like them. . . I'm okay with torrents, sometimes I torrent a game to see if it's actually good before I purchase it and same with anime. If I really really love the anime I'll buy it if it's/or when it's released. The fact is you should always support the makers by buying their product in the end. |

Angry_Bellsprout said: People hate crunchyroll because; 5.) videos go black as an 8 ball after two minutes of viewing these trash anime. *And there's your answer, sir!* Must be your shitty connection cause that never happens with me. Although I'm not going to lie cause of my connection every once in a blue moon it stops mid-stream and wants to play the next episode. -___- Overall its a great site to me and I can view all the anime since I live in the US. Depending on where you live you might get more than others or as you said just mainstream trash is available in your country. |

| I watch anime on other websites but I still use crunchy roll for most of the anime I watch. People hate just because they don't want to pay for high quality anime and they won't let them download it. These are the same people who don't buy Blu-ray/DVDs or support the anime industry in any way other than watching. You can watch for free but there are commercials, I don't have any problem paying them though. People say they are getting a better resolution by downloading, but it really doesn't make that much of a difference. You can't justify stealing anime and complaining about a site that you have to pay for but you will always get a quality stream every time. |

| I like CR, but the roster for this entire region is very small. I investigated what would become available if I shelled out, and it turned out nothing of interest would, therefore I still use my free account. On the bright side, the number of times I had to watch an ad is less than five. |

| I don't hate it, I'm watching that site closely to see if, as the derps make finding things more and more impossible to find, Crunchyroll will be the "find anime" place of the future. Currently, I stream. It is not illegal, I have no job so I can't afford to buy the stuff (most of which IS rather over-priced...) Streaming is a good solution for me and I've never NOT been able to find an anime I was interested it. I just have to go to different sites to find different things. |

sleeplesstown said: http://i.imgur.com/e0f2x.jpg I'm definitely not paying to watch something of this quality or something like Ika Musume with SQUIDDLY puns. Crunchyroll is the exact same as any illegal streaming site. They're doing the same thing, they're just giving the studio kick backs. At the end of the day, you're helping a middleman to profit from doing and producing absolutely nothing and leeching off of an industry like a cancer. At least if I pirate I get actual typesetting and don't have to give undeserving baka gaijins money. Not to mention streaming anime is and will always be horrible. This. |
| I can't stand streaming, personally. For people who do, though(for whatever reason), CR is a pretty good option. I just like having (mostly) better quality and running through a media player, not my browser. |

| This whole argument is ridiculous, Anime is basically /produced/ by middle men for the most part based on an existing Manga that they license from the author. The creators then make money in the form of royalties, a cut of what the studio sells the product for. Until such a time as the authors produce their own works and also distribute their own works you will always have middle men. Frankly most authors prefer to concentrate on the writing than worrying about the distribution. It's the same with music in many ways, it's convenient to have someone else to take care of the details you don't wish to take care of yourself. Music has a slight edge these days in that there are alternative methods of production and distribution. Musicians can records their own music without a professional studio and they can also sell their product in completely digital form online through their own websites. Anime tends to be more difficult because it is a fairly labor intensive process. I'm as guilty as anyone by downloading some of the anime I watch but generally that is because there isn't a more legal source to obtain it from. I'm quite grateful to places like Crunchy and the Funimation website for offering legal streams. It doesn't offer access to everything day of showing in Japan but the delay isn't too bad, nor is the quality of the product imho. |

So no Crunchyroll is not a good place for people outside of the U.S. and Canada to watch anime. sleeplesstown said: Zalis said: So just completely pirating an anime and not giving the industry any money is somehow better than streaming from a legitimate site? If you hate "middlemen" so much, go import the discs straight from Japan at outrageous prices. Even buying the licensed DVDs is better than crunchyroll. At least then the licensing company actually provides a service in the form of a dub or a physical copy and has to do some work. Crunchyroll is a leech, plain and simple. Fansubbers have a complicated relationship with anime studios, but it's not entirely a negative one despite being illegal. Haruhi probably would have never been licensed without fansubbing and anime in general would be a complete niche. Plus if I get a crunchyroll subscription, I can't really support the studios I want. The money could really be going anywhere. I don't want to give DEEN or Studio Pierrot any damn money. At least if I go and buy a boxset, a nendo, or a figma I get to choose which companies I want to support. I'd prefer even not contributing at all (aside from word of mouth) than getting a crunchyroll sub. I don't want them to be the future of anime in North America. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. They don't actually care about the industry, they did a complete 180 from their original venture when they ran into legal trouble. They just saw an opportunity to capitalize on their previous success. Crunchyroll is scum, same with all streaming sites. The only difference is semantics. When Crunchyroll was getting friendly with the anime studios, I wonder why nobody asked, "So what's stopping us from setting up our own streaming service and not having to give you any cuts? What service do you provide for us?" followed by the Crunchyroll suits sweating bullets and muttering, "Um... uh..." There you go. I despise Crunchyroll because they are hypocrites. They shouldn't even exist anymore. |

nullredirect said: Many of the greatest writers and artists in history never made a single cent (rin?) from their work, yet that did not deter them because they created for the love of creation and what their work represented. Actually most of them made a pisspot of money... or their descendants did. If they didn't make actual money they more than made up for it in social capital that earned them great acclaim. In some eras this was almost as good as money. |

nullredirect said: That is never going to happen as long as there are mangaka who actually care about their work. Most mangaka and animators already do it for love, because it doesn't make you rich and the work environment can be hellish. If they don't, then there is no real point in supporting a half-hearted attempt. Many of the greatest writers and artists in history never made a single cent (rin?) from their work, yet that did not deter them because they created for the love of creation and what their work represented. It's the same with any art or entertainment. The only thing you are doing by buying a crunchyroll subscription (or buy a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/Video Game) is lining the pockets of the "agents," distributors, and industry "professionals" who only seek to make a profit off of the work from actual artists and naive consumers. It may never die as a domestic art form but it can very easily die as an export business. As soon as there's no money to be made in it anymore then studios will mostly stop making and supporting it. That's business. |

"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Love CR, ya they dont have all the animes but the ones they do have great quality and perfect sub translations. Since they get the actually japanese script to sub it. |
  |
| Paid videostreaming? No, thank you. I wouldn't use it, even if it were free. Torrents all the way. |
| Because bandwagon |
| tfw no gf tfw i keep getting the banhammer on here tfw Koleare keeps banning me every other day tfw I'm misunderstood by le mod |
| LOL, Really? mmm. for one reason.. maybe (?) "They have to pay and don't like it" Anyway, I 'm of the view that should help the industry in such projects, watching anime in this form, if not exist legal stream of anime or anything else, use fansubs. |
| I don't hate countryroll, it's more like I don't know too much about it and don't need to use it. =o. When someone uses countryroll, I ask them why they do when you can just download episodes in high quality dubbed or subbed. |
