Chinese Animation 'Huyao Xiao Hongniang' to Broadcast in Japan
Synopsis
In a world where spirits and humans coexist and can fall in love with each other, the spirits can only see their loved one dying before them, as their life expectancy is superior to that of human's. Even when that human is reborn, the previous memories of the past life are erased from their memory. However, it is said among the spirits that a certain "service" is spreading. This "service" is provided by the "Fox Spirit Matchmakers," who can revive the lost memories of their former lover. When the spirits lose their lover, they can purchase the "service" of the "Fox Spirit Matchmakers" so that they could attempt to regain their former lover memories and start over a new love story. This story follows a young Fox Spirit Matchmaker who tries her best to restore lost memories and spread love. (Source: Press Release, edited)

As long as the story line is good, good production, and VA, idm. Also, people need to realize that anime isn't that popular when compared to manga and LN in Japan. A lot of people in Japan are often overworked and are short handed of workers.

Japan doesn't care. Support the industry or be aware the opinion of a non consumer has zero worth.

Bruh, there's no point in arguing with ignorant dumbasses like @AIDSKrillex who feels proud to steal anime. They're literally going to come up with thousands of excuses to try and justify their "pirate life" like "Why would I pay money to Crunchy if 100% of their revenue doesn't go to the producers?".
I mean, they're right. Not all of the money goes to the producers but it's not a fraction either. Like you said, a lot of anime wouldn't be here in the West legally if the licensors only pay a pube hair amount. Japanese producers wouldn't give them the rights if that actually happens.
I also read an artical somewhere (I think it was ANN) stating how Netflix and Amazon payed 6 figures ($100,000 or more) per episode just to aquire a series. I also remember hearing about Funimation paying yet-again 6 figures to aquire the rights for My Hero Academia.
As for me, I feel very proud paying my hard earned money to both Crunchyroll and Funimation. I'm not some cheap/poor ass fucker. Like seriously, it would cost you more to buy a combo meal at McDonalds in a single day than paying $7 a month for Crunchyroll.
You people really are hilarious. If Crunchyroll really helps as much as you say it does, then why is the life of the average studio worker still hell? Why do they still make such pitiful wages? Your legal sites have done nothing to help them, and they never will. "support the industry" is more like "support these American licensers and publishers"

no that doesnt work that way. The japanese cartoon must be licensed in that fucking region before CR even release that shit. So basically, even you pay a fuck ton to CR, it still wont show all of what licensed in North America to, lets say, South East Asia because it wasnt licensed in that particular region in the first place.
Jesus Christ you fucking Americans always piss me off
but they dont license what I actually want to watch or read and only distributing mainstream dogshit which they think can sell in a particular region especially those niche titles that no one bothers to watch
I don't know if you misunderstood what I said,did you reply here without reading the rest of the paragraph? I'm saying you pay CR, but you don't watch the show in CR as they don't license all your shows but you download it in Horrible Subs. HS download is obviously illegal but at least, the money you give to CR can be directed to the anime industry. I'm suggesting you pay CR but at the same time download illegally. As I said, see CR as a form of crowdfunding. No excuse here then.
And if they don't license what you watch, then shouldn't the anime you want to watch be available in CR? Which country are you living?
As less than 10 percent of anime fans paid CR, we still can't save anime. Still better than pirate. China is the one saving anime.
Why would I pay on a company if they cant even give the service what I want? The company must think of its consumers not the other way around ffs
So you can support the anime industry. As I mentioned above,see it as form of crowd funding. Either that or don't complain when China take over anime industry. China is saving anime.

These CR friends actually think they're saving anime lmao

All I see here is an opportunity for a new country to get into the medium. Who cares if most of it is shit? That happens in every medium everywhere. The point is given the chance eventually something awesome will probably come out of it. So quit whining and get on the fucking bus already. Japanese anime isn't going anywhere, and if it ever did its mostly there fault for having a shitty unsustainable business model (especially pertaining to the horde of Western fans and money the industry doesn't even seem to really fucking want)

It because large majority of anime fan still download/streamit illegally. CR has like 10 million visitors but only 200,000 are subscribers. Now imagine if those huge 10 million actually paid. It's a question of quantity here.
LOL! And I'm suppose to trust a random internet user like you? If the anime industry are upset, then they wouldn't let Crunchy Roll stream so many anime and Horrible Subs wouldn't be able to rip off CR.
And fyi, anime industry record growth thanks to China.
The region issues happen because licensing is given to other companies of your region. You just need to find local publisher/distributors that own right to them, then you can still support anime industry this way as mentioned by ninjitsuko in this CR thread.
http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-976519/licensing-limitations
If you are not going to bother make effort finding your local publisher/distributor, then just shut up and stop whining Chinese taking over Japan anime because it certainly not 'your goddam anime'. To be honest,I'm not fan of Chinese anime, I drop Reikenzan but even someone like me who support anime industry legally, do not complain if China take over Japan anime industry because I can understand the responsibility and the need to put food on table for yourselves and family.
-EDIT-
Another method you can overcome this CR licensing issues is that you can pay CR,but instead of relying on them to get all your anime, you go get it from HS. This way, you can still watch all anime you want but still contribute to anime industry through your payment in CR. Use CR as a mean and form of crowdfunding to anime industry. No more excuse this time right?
@jc9622
True. If anything the cocky and arrogance one are those pirate because they didn't contribute anything to Japan anime industry and yet, they expect Japan anime industry to please them and still have the nerve to complain when China invest in Japan anime industry. Are you kidding me?

At least, the Chinese stream it legally which contribute to Japan anime industry. It's not that hard to figure out why economic interaction between China and Japan anime industry is becoming more common. Again, don't complain if China take over. At least, they contribute to Japan anime industry unlike you. Weebs has been taking free anime download for granted.
