| Noooooo I just really got into Crunchyroll |
| Sounds way better than CR, and also like the income will actually be providing something worthwhile to the industry. So, as a legal option, I think it's a better one than what we've got currently. In terms of fansubbing it's not gonna change anything, given the fact is every fansub group just steals and rewrites the scripts from official streams - that won't change, it'll just make them use this site to rip from instead of CR. Though, whether it'd actually go anywhere or not, I don't know. Nico Nico tried anime simulcasts with english subs and it pretty much flopped in a few months because CR is just already so well known to big numbers. |

| its about time IMHO, a CrunchyRoll like website is badly needed by Japan for them to directly profit from the internet, at last Japan is catching up to the internet business world P.S. i want to post this news a while ago but good thing somebody already posted it |
| It's about time. If they do this right, they could revive the industry. Foreign audience will finally be seen. |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| A competitor to region-blocked CrunchyRoll? Hell yeah, I'm all for it. |
| I'm really excited for this. Hopefully this will help the anime industry make more profits than usual. |
| Shoot, Sunrise, Toei, and Aniplex! 500 titles. Not bad, I hope they bring the best. Would subscribe. Does it mean that the newest seasons is going to be streamed live also? |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| More profit = hopefully more quality anime made. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| 500 titles legal streaming? Not bayd. will go for it. |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |

| i dont understand the big deal about this arent there a lot of streaming sites on the internet already that offer more anime streaming |
| RRRRRRRRRR |
beavis2323 said: i dont understand the big deal about this arent there a lot of streaming sites on the internet already that offer more anime streaming This is legal anime streaming that isn't region locked. Only other competitors are Cruncyroll and Funimation's youtube channel. |
beavis2323 said: Because most if not all of them are illegal and don't offer HD streaming.i dont understand the big deal about this arent there a lot of streaming sites on the internet already that offer more anime streaming And the legal companies that do offer it kinda suck (don't have all titles, not available in many countries, etc.). ...Or what Raikov said. |

Plus, if we support something like this then eventually it'll have more anime than those streaming sites. |

Myself included. EDIT: Ninja'd by 4 seconds :( |
| This doesn't mean that CR is dead, at least not unless the idea catches on and everyone starts doing this. I'm interested in this though. Does it actually say anywhere that this isn't region locked? Can someone link me to where it does if so? Because several people on here seem to be claiming that it isn't. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I don't care about HD quality.... But it is nice to support the industry directly.... I'll have to add this subscription to my current Funimation subscription. I was going to resub to CR but I'm going to wait to see how this turns out before deciding anything indefinitely. |

| This is great news, and I doubt it will kill Crunchyroll. At any rate competition is always a good thing, and if this new service is any good, then Crunchyroll will have to step their game up. What this means is that we'll get better streaming services, with better prices and/or better quality. Very good new indeed. |
The forums are dark, and full of ego. |

Their subs are pretty good in terms of quality, I imagine they would employ the same tactics? |

| Good riddance. I'll even subscribe if they don't region lock it like Crunchy did. |

Does it mean that the newest seasons is going to be streamed live also? It says so in the article. Might even stream sooner than CR did. Sweet! I hope they add that on screen chat text feature like Nico while live streaming! lol. |

| Thanks a ton for sharing, but that title completely missed the target, and it’s really misleading the awesome bit of news here. Besides, it’s not even correct, competition ≠ demise. Anyway, it's about damn time! Hopefully we won't have to worry too much about this stupid, stubborn, languid, and antediluvian industry much longer (I could call it many more names, but I’ll stop here). With this, they seem to be getting smarter. I hope this is just the first step. And I really hope they do well here. I know for sure I’ll be subscribing – even though I know I’ll never use it – simply to pay something back for all this hard work I’m downloading. Fully pledged. Can we sticky this news or something? It’d be awesome if every anime site could advertise this (barring competitors, of course). As well, it’d be nice if Toonami / Adult Swim / whatever they have here these days could advertise, but of course they probably won’t. Boy am I excited. Completely made my day. |
| LF> Ps3 App. |
| This sounds awesome! Hopefully it's available globally and can be streamed on my PS3! I dont see how this means the death of Crunchyroll. Just means they have to up their game to stay in business. |
| What a way to cut out the middle man. |
| If this isn't gonna be region-locked, then I'm (most probably) switching to streaming. If there is a legal way available, for so many titles at that, then I am more than happy to switch to those means. |
 |
| Dont care, will still use torrents. |
 |
| Very interested in seeing how good it will be. If it's going to be good then I'll be happy to support. |
 |
| Just because this new streaming thing is coming out doesn't mean crunchyroll is doomed. For example we don't know how well their translation will be and such. Hence my expectation of this will be a bit low. |
