| i used to use the site when it was illegal and the early stages of legal when Strike Witches was simulcasted but then found torrenting/downloading better then waiting and using like Horriblesubs instead and such since i do appreciate what they are doing i just rather avoid streaming. the wait for non paying members is a lot longer then it once was but i personally have no issues regarding their subs since most of the time if they have something i grab Horriblesubs rips since i find them more trustworthy then the bulk of fansubbers nowadays with so many good groups dead now such as Eclipse for most recent..so i for one am not a fan of the site in general but appreciate what they do and am glad they do what they do. |

| Crunchyroll was a great site. I got loads of my C/J/K - doramas off it. But, it's been very long I stopped depending on it. |
We are the United. Even in defeat we stand united. |
| It was convenient being able to watch the complete Eyeshield 21 series on Crunchyroll, so I do like the site. Although, I don't have a paid account, I just watch the free series on the site. I do like to buy anime DvDs though, but I do try to wait until their decent priced, I'd rather wait then buy something the moment it comes out for a higher price. |
| So I hate CR now! Kill me with rocks like a witch! Jeez, so it's my decision if I hate it or not and none of has the right to juge me (some idiot said that those who hate it are "trolls"). So why do I hate it? (for others I don't know, I can explain only my oppinion) First of all what they did was (yes indeed in their right and I believe the right thing to do) just so stupid, the whole "delete all animes" thing and "pay if you wanna watch" stuff. It all seems to me like in few years I'll have to pay someone to breath. Also I think they didn't do it because it was right or so but just because like everyone else they just do everything for money. So what now? If you're underage or just don't have the opportunity to pay (stuff like low budget and stuff) you don't get to watch your fav shows? Well that's just stupid. When all that stuff happened I was still underage so I didn't have all that is needed to pay them, even if I wanted to. Besides now when I have everything I need I'd never pay them (think of me as cheap, or selfish, or whatever you want, but I live only with my little sister so I have to take care of her. And she'd never stay hungry cuz of animes)! Then comes the people on the site! (well atleast then...duno for now) If you have less than 10 000 CR points or whatever it was your oppinion is not worth paying attention :D Most of them were so full of themselfs...I just got sick of it. So that's how I got to hate CR! Here I don't need to pay to listen/watch/read/download my favourite music/movies/shows/animes/manga etc. I open the site and download or just open online. So I was infinitely disgusted when they ruined the site. But still yeah, I'm aware of the reason this kinda stuff happens(not only with sites)... But there's always a place for everyone...since I won't lick their a*ses and pour money I need in theyr throats I found plenty of new sites where I can watch and download for free. |

| Meh, its a much more mainstream community than MAL i think (not that mal doesn't have its fair share, im just saying the ratio of crazed fanboys to socially inept critics is better here). I still visit crunchyroll, but only to chat with a couple friends that I've made there. All my viewing is done elsewhere. |
 |
| because im not wasting money on non HD video. |

| I don't really care for streaming and after checking out the site itself there's not much on there I'd really want to watch. I don't hate CR, but I don't have any interest in it either. |

It's true that sometimes they don't show some series I want to watch but sometimes they do show something I do want to watch, so I like them. |
| I don't hate cr really, it's just that I don't use the site because the videos don't load properly so whats the point if I can't watch the videos. I do stream from funimation though. |
 |
| I watch quite a few of my shows on that site- I just occasionally prefer to stream over download if I can't find a torrent w/out a virus or I don't know if I'll like a show. And that way I can check it out while supporting the creators. I don't bother with the forums, though. |

Well, that's good for you. ^^ I think another reason I wouldn't is because if I'm going to pay money for animu, I'd rather have physical copies of it that I can watch on my TV. I don't particularly like watching things on my computer, so why would I want to pay to do it when I could just buy the DVDs instead? @Sweetpea: As far as I know, I've never gotten a virus from downloading anime via torrents. What kind of sites were you downloading from? O.o |
|
| I think the general idea behind paying for crunchyroll is the simulcasting, you know you can watch it as it airs in Japan, and pay for it as you would a television subscription. So saying you would should just buy the DVDs isn't all ways applicable. |
feder said: @Sweetpea: As far as I know, I've never gotten a virus from downloading anime via torrents. What kind of sites were you downloading from? O.o It was mostly the sites that I got the torrents from- I have had a few that are generally reliable for a while now, but there were a few years where downloading was likely to crash my computer. But I have also have had incidents with buggy torrents from... anywhere. They're sort of random when and who I get them from. But a lot of the series that I watch on Crunchyroll- I don't pay anything for them. I mean, I would if I wanted the simulcasting, but I am too cheap for that. But most of the series that aren't being simulcast.... totally free. |

edandfredyall said: I see a lot that people hate crunchyroll. I've never actually used it but I was thinking of watching some shows on their but everyone says it's the worst thing ever. I want to know why because im kinda on the fence :/ 1) They have crappy subs 2) Most countries other than the U.S. and Canada are blocked out. Which makes it pretty much useless. Hulu and Funimation video are like this too. 3) They are hypocrites. They use to have fansubs and were basically "Fansubs are good" fast forward 2 years and that changed to "Fansubs are bad". ZenErik said: People hate Crunchyroll because they are looking to justify their stealing. Seems that some people will use any excuse to stream/download fansubs instead of at least getting a few cents to the creators. I do not understand these types of "fans". Except for the fact that Copyright Infringement is not stealing. Jigero said: Why pay for crappy streams when I can steal better quality? Also if you where gonna pay for that crap, why not just buy DVDs, or get a subscription to Netflix. Seriously Jigero? When did you start calling copyright infringement stealing? Phyleron said: CR earned it's bad reputation in the past. It's changed a lot, but reputations don't fade quickly. 1. They were actual thieves, earning profit from streaming anime illegally. Most of the anime community follows fansubs of unlicensed series, where a free translation service is provided for sharing a series among fellow fans. The DVDRip community is separate from the fansubbers, and even then the rippers usually encourage financially supporting series you like. Uh what? There are many fansubbers who sub licensed series. ZenErik said: I've noticed a few posts stating Crunchyroll not doing DVDs as a negative. Surely you've heard that they'll be re-releasing 5 Centimeters Per Second by now. Distributed by Bandai Entertainment. If this is successful, I assume that there will be more to come. This is disgusting. They could get better quality from some fansub group subbing. Asako said: This is funny for two reasons: a) MAL is seen as one of the worst anime communities around. I'm not sure what CR is like since I've not been there, but I find it hard to believe MAL can be much better. So what is exactly said about MAL on these other sites? What makes MAL so bad? Is it because most members support fansubbing/scanlating? FullMetalPrinny said: For me streaming is like my only option because of slow shared college internet so when I have down time CR is where I go to watch and I do have a subscription because I want to watch my weekly anime as its released such as Naruto, Bleach (yes i watch those), Faily tale, new season animes like Super Robot, Sora no, and Actually Panties and Stocking. Hopefully this can try to please everyone eventually as other companies will grow from it You could just watch those fansubbed. |
| I don't dislike Crunchyroll and can be willing to pay for them. It's just there isn't a whole lot for me to justify and plus, sometimes I don't like a bit of censorship, which can go on in some anime such as censored scenes, etc. But I hate crunchyroll before then. I mean, really. If anyone has paid Crunchyroll before the officials for your fix of animes, then you are literally idiots. None of it was going to the creators and instead, was feeding it to the greedy sods. For the life of me, I cannot understand what was good about Crunchyroll before then apart from having a lot more content and even then, it wasn't legal. I mean, fuck. People love anime, but they don't want to support them? I am still under belief that a lot of anime fans are still downright rotten who pull out the "I'm too poor card" as a excuse for pirating. If there is an option for a legal means, then take it. If not, then download your episode of Shinrei. But don't complain when somehow, all these legal options start to close because you complained about shitty translation or 'it's a week late'. |
| I've never actually used Crunchy Roll to watch anime. I have noticed, however, that no one on the forum knows how to spell. |
| Off topic, but to Sweetpea: All this while I also never got any virus, but I almost always download from BakaBT or Nyaa, or directly from the fansubbers site, so you might want to do the same to prevent viruses. |
| I've recently signed up to them due to someone i know using the site so i thought "why the hell not?" ...seems that its not as great as i thought =/ Where else can you get HQ anime other then CR? |

| Is it true that Crunchyroll censors anime? |
Drunk_Samurai said: Is it true that Crunchyroll censors anime? not that i have seen but their video is just from the censored airing's of series that have them that they pick up since they simulcast..therefore they don't wait for the uncut version to air which usually occurs after its initial airing. |

| I don't see why people would hate it Everything is free to watch unlicensed anime, except on HD Community is not that bad You can make groups and such So? What's there to hate? |

ENTER_KLACMAN said: That's mainly because they focus on new shows in Japan, and don't have the time or resources to do English dubs for them. Check Funimation's website, The Anime Network, and various companies' YouTube channels (like Bandai/Funimation) if you want dubbed streams.i read to BOO the crunchyroll they barely show an ENGLISH audio animes. where the ENGLISH AUDIO to hear? RedSuisei said: 720p I can understand, but 1080p? How many anime are actually animated in or worth 1080p? 1080p = mostly placebo-quality upscales, for people with 1080p monitors to feel good about their purchase, when taking 720p files at half the size and resizing them to 1080p will give roughly the same results. Okay, I can maybe see the point of 1080p on shows like Gundam 00, Macross Frontier, or Code Geass. But come on... White Album? Kiss X Sis TV? Ladies vs. Butlers? Really guys? Heck, on some shows like Magical Index or Sorakake girl, I see people questioning if they're even worth 720p, let alone 1080p. [/OT Rant]Torrent? Go to the right place then you can even get 720p or 1080p Blu Ray rip. |

on | "Don't get me wrong, I love Crunchyroll and everything they've done for anime," I saw that in the Ask Answerman thing on ANN. That made me laugh. Crunchyroll has done jack shit for anime. |
