Eureka 7 sub-studio back at making original mecha (suit) anime after almost a decade. That's a dream come true. Hopefully, we get to see some Towa No Quon/Star Driver styled action cause I'm hungry af.

What's with all the off-topic nonsense in this thread? I wish someone would get rid of the pointless back and fourth between EcchiGodMamster and MadanielFL ASAP.

Tbh any company that invested in the shitty COTE anime adaptation deserves to go bankrupt...

Nah, COTE was palatable and I don't care if it's just anime only POV.
Ex-Arm and Gibiate on the other hand was so bad that it was actually kinda funny.
Tbh, I blame Shueisha for Ex-Arm, they were the main producers behind it after all.
Like, no Cr employee was credited with "Chief Producer" in the credits

Cr was only 4th on the committee for that show, so they had little say on it.

I mean, there is even a Limo company who invested more than them in that committee lol

@MadanielFL 

yea i know they dont anymore, but the fact that they did is scary to people, cause that doesnt mean there aren't still people who think like that working for the company.. of course there are... its California of all states... i've even heard theres people who work there that aren't even necessarily anime fans and were just looking for a job

with japans growing reliance on foreign aid, people have all the right to be scared


i dont use sites that CR is involved in, i only use Goods Republic, Buyee and CDJapan sites that ship directly from Japan, plus i've been there before and spent hundreds, i've probably done far more directly for the industry than someone who simply has a CR account

offline though yea i've unknowinligly bought stuff lisenced by CR like from Hot Topic or w/e, as well as seeing some movies in theatre, but its never on purpose, i either didnt realize it or just forget, but its a mistake im now conscious of

im a die hard fan of supporting shit i want more of and as an artist, i know all about the need for freedom of expression

They have say.
There are even anime where they were the main producers, but they still didn't add any politics to those either. 
At this point I think it's all superstition, people thinking they will ruin anime, when nothing will actually happen. 
There has always been censorship, specially in Japan, where censorship laws are harsher than in the US
There's a reason why hentai in the US has less censorship than hentai in Japan.
I just find absurd to think Crunchyroll would encourage more censorship when they have never done anything like that. 

when a company that made high guardian spice and talked about how woke it is, airs censored versions of anime, changes subs, AND is located in California, arguably the wokest state has say in what and what not can be shown in an anime, people are going to be worried, i dont know why you can't understand that

they are scaring people, end of story, and im more inclined to believe the 100 videos criticizing the company than one person on MAL who doesnt seem to be bothered by wokeness

does japan have stupid censorship? ofc but there wasn't all this fear of anime being censored to the point where they felt the need to vote mangaka into politics until it got bigger and bigger in the west, theres a good reason for that... Ken Akamatsu wants japan to ignore western influence for this exact reason

you can literally read japanese comments fearing PC culture, this wasnt a thing in the past as far as im aware

 i dont know what to tell you, you either dont know what woke is or just dont really give a shit, if you want to keep paying CR you can, but you're better off buying shit directly from japan that way at least Japan gets all the money and its far more obvious  what shows people want to support, since everyone watching a show doesnt mean everyone supporting it

The team that made HGS doesn't even work at Cr anymore
Actually the creator of HGS even sued Cr, so the people who made that show don't even like Cr themselves lol 

Oh but I continue to buy merch from Japan alright. 
Tho you gotta be careful, cause depending on the series, your merch money might go to Cr anyways. 
Like with the Shield Hero figure that I bought, part of that money went back to them, since they were part of the production committe for that show. 

It's just how things work I guess.

if all they are doing is giving money for anime to be made and have no say in what and what not cannot be protrayed in the show, then sure, why would i complain about that aspect? but is that the case?? last i heard, production commities get to dictate that kinda stuff
and it still doesn't take away the other criticisms i mentioned
you can think that if you want to, the fact is diversity, inclusion, woke dialouge is being forced into pretty much everything in the west, so its only natural that especially with Japans declining birthrate and reliance on other countries for money that people would be scared of that happening to them eventually
theres more censorship now than there ever was before to the point where a mangaka is now in politics trying to fight it, why wouldnt people be scared?

why would you assume theyre lying?

why does his mistake with WEH mean he was lying? maybe he was just misinformed? is everything everyone on the internet says always accurate? aren't youtubers wrong sometimes?

i already said theres 100 videos criticizing CR, by many different people many of them making the same criticisms, are you just gonna dismiss them all as trying to scare people?

i already told you seveal reasons why i dont support Crunchyroll, stop talking about subs.... licensing the odd ecchi show doesnt mean anything as anime was ecchi long before CR was a thing, so its kind of an unavoidable thing to do regardless


and uh yea... ofc people are going to be scared of Japan talking about diversity and inclusion when its gotten completley out of hand and woke af in the west


So idk why you are so scared that the woke west will ruin anime, when they haven't done anything in the production side of things...

You can say the people who made Top Gun Maverick are woke, which would be contradictory, which is what I'm trying to say here. 

I'm not saying all their videos are clickbait, but they simply aren't trustworthy and could be lying to you at any point. 

I still haven't forgotten when Rev made a whole conspiracy theory blaming Crunchyroll for the delay of World's End Harem, which obviously makes no sense since they were simply licensors and had no control over that. 

The lie was so bad that he even had to delete the video. 
It just shows you how he is more worried about making you angry so you click the video than actually spreading the truth.

And yes, people have already claimed Kadokawa is "woke"
Because in this time of culture wars, everything is woke...

Oh no, Kadokawa said they respect other people's difference, how scary, the woke virus has plagued their minds. 
Next the season 2 of Redo of Healer will have a black female transgender protagonist, how awful, the SJWs will ruin everything. 

Yeah I just think people who use terms such as "woke" and "sjw" in 2023 are still stuck in 2016. 

Because to me it's very stupid to say "this is woke and that's it."
It's almost like things have layers to do them. 

Is Crunchyroll woke? 
Sure, to you it is. 

Does that change anything?
No, it doesn't, they will continue to produce anime as it is and nothing will change. 

So idk why you are so scared that the woke west will ruin anime, when they haven't done anything in the production side of things...

well regardless of what you think of them, i said theyre only 2 examples... theres 100 videos criticizing CR, but i guess you'll just dismiss them all as clickbait to outrage viewers

and i named several examples of why they don't deserve support yet you keep harping on the subs thing...


what has Kadokawa done that could be considered woke?


is HollyWood not woke because Top Gun Maverick exists?

you watch both HeroHei and Rev and dont see what the issue is with CR?

(240) Stop The Cap Meme Sound Effect - YouTube

pretty much all their videos about the company are negative and theyre just two examples


why are you so hung up on the subs thing lol? i named several other reasons why CR is shit, but yea, one recnt example is changing the subs in Onimai to some gender shit, i'd have to find it

if all they did was translate anime/dub anime as accurately as possible and had no say in the way anime were made as well as treated their own employees properly AND actually increased the pay to animators, i probably wouldnt have much of an issue with them

doing the odd good thing here and there doesnt mean anything when Japan was already doing that stuff before
Is Onimai your only example?

Because if so that's a pretty bad example, since that whole controversy was that Crunchyroll was supposedly "erasing gendered language" which is totally not true cause the Onimai subs use gendered language multiple times. 

I mean, even fansubbers agreet that controversy was dumb and that it wasn't a wrong translation at all. 

But we all know that Hero Hei and Rev are clickbait and outrage farmers, so they are the type of people who lie to you and don't really care for the truth. 

I'm just trying to understand why this hate for them even exists. 
Like if you hate them fine, I don't care, but I just think if you are going to hate on them at least have actual reasons, saying they are woke and change subs while not providing good examples isn't a good a reason. 

Because for me, the company who funded Harem in the Labyrinth is far from woke. 
Cause if that was the case, I coud say Kadokawa who produced Redo of Healer is "woke", see just how absurd that sounds...

idk man, I'm always looking up channels like Hero Hei and Rev, and yet I haven't seen a single case of "woke" stuff on their subs. 
You could at least link one video if those things are so common. 

I also know that pirate sites have no problem using Crunchyroll subs, and from checking the episode discussion there, I see that people there have no problems either. 

And, if my subscription money is being used to make a harem ecchi anime with sex slaves, then I'm more than happy with that. 
I thought you also wanted that, unless you think more anime is a bad thing, and every time they help make more anime you are unhappy?

What am i supposed to do? link you 100 videos and screenshots showing show shitty CR is? theres no way in hell you're always caught up on controversies and think CR is a company worth supporting unless you just don't care

i mean yea, the anime industry is super shitty too but at least its the origin of the medium and buying stuff directly from japan does more for the industry than a subscription to CR anyway

I honestly don't understand why you think they would censor anime, considering they stream a bunch of uncensored anime already.
Plus they had no problems investing money on anime filled with fan-service and sex scenes...
Also I haven't seen any "woke shit" on their subs either, like I don't even know what that means, cause I haven't seen any controversy regarding "woke" stuff on their subs...

you obviously don't care enough about wokeism to pay attention to or even notice it then, that seems like that issue here

Oh but I’m always up to date on whatever controversy is going on.
I still remember how people had a meltdown over Nagatoro saying sus, or the whole HGS thing.

I’m well aware there are controversies regarding Funimation dubs, but I just haven’t seen anything similar with Cr subs…
