Crunchyroll's Trouble With Fan Translated Material
Crunchyroll, a media distribution site, has undergone some new changes lately. Most notably it has made a transition from a platform of user-uploaded content to a platform for professionally produced content. In short, they wished to get direct rights to the content released on their site. However, they have uncovered many problems while removing user-uploaded content to make this transition.
ANN was able to talk with Crunchyroll’s Vice President of Business Development and Strategy, Vu Nguyen, about the user-uploaded media. He stated that Cruchyroll was “working diligently” that all video content is approved properly. They wish to remove any and all content that is not authorized with their new partners. When also questioned about the URL problem stated earlier, Vu Nguyen assured that they would remove the unlisted URLs as quickly as possible; however, due to the size of the site this will take a bit of time.

- This includes their soft sub system, which allows users to submit translations by fans and embed them inside of the video uploaded.
- The public can still access unlisted videos by merely typing in the direct URL.
- Not every user-uploaded video is yet cleared, it seems to have been more time consuming than previously thought.

It has been said before, you don't have to pay, if you want high quality you do, but if you want a quality good enough to watch then the H.264 is fine, it is equivalent to .mkv only not bloomed, so the quality is not an issue.
As for lack of cussing, konoero does not mean bastard, and anyone who really thinks a kid show in Japan would drop the eqivulent of f-bombs is an idiot, dattebayo and a lot of fansub groups "romantize" text to make it more edgy and the like.

That is not true, I know it is confusing, but by watching stuff without the anime companies permission you are breaking International Copyright Laws, those state that even if a show is not distributed in your country you cannot watch it without permission from the companies that make it.
What Crunchyroll is doing now is allowing shows not licensed in most countries to be aired with permission from the Japanese companies, shows like Naruto, Gintama, and Shugo Chara are all being uploaded by TV Tokyo, a Japanese company.

It has the 1980s Gatchaman OVA, and an OVA called Catblue Dynamite(very good by the way) Crunchyroll doesn't do many dubs, it is more of a sub community, for dubs go Anime Network Online, Hulu, or Funimation.com

It's long and niche, so I doubt they'd try anything but a sub-only box set release.
