why do you refuse to support all the hardworking people in the anime industry!? explain yourselves!

Crunchyroll supports them less than me pirating shit, simple as.
I only care about One Piece and Dragon Ball and that's on Netflix. Why even pay for Crunchy?
Because it's an american company.
stop being gay
I don't watch anime. I'm a mangaonlyfag.
Shill your ecelebs elsewhere
Anime is DEAD. Why support a CORPSE?
Localizers are shit. For works I want to support, I buy JP manga (even though I can't read it) and other merchandise.
tell that to sloppers
people
It's been said a thousand times you newfag, you aren't supporting the anime industry by giving money to a third party licensee that pays a small one time fee, gives peanuts to translators, and pockets the rest of the profits. Not to mention Crunchyroll started as a piracy site.
I don’t understand how people can willingly pay $10 a month on a service that thousands of websites do for free. Plus the money doesn’t even go to the animators or studios
because crunchyroll is part of globohomo
Because why the hell am I going to pay for their services when this is the slop they're going to be feeding me? Either pirate or buy it raw.
If crunchyroll became a legal torrent site where I paid a subscription to download and keep the episodes I would gladly pay for it, but I will never pay for streaming no matter how much they insist on it actually working now
Why did you censor the channel?
I sometimes buy manga. Recently generally raws though so no money for localization companies. Sorry not sorry. Most recent anime I bought were the Hidamari Sketch and Patlabor boxsets. I would never pay for CR even if I bought more anime.
Crunchyroll is a product of Nip incompetence at globalizing their own streaming services and deserves jihad.
Advertising e-whores is frowned upon here.
Wasn't crunchy a piracy site in the past?
The few times I've subbed to Crunchyroll, their player barely fucking worked and I ended up having to download what I wanted to watch anyway. Genuinely the worst streaming platform I've ever used. And if they didn't practically have a monopoly on anime nobody would bother paying for their shit.
I'm not giving money to a company that disrespects my favourite series.
Shit thread
pretends to have courtesy while making Anon Babble tier threads
Genuinely kill yourself.
Correct, it was the biggest for it's time. They're just pulling up the ladder behind them
Buy an ad if you want people to see your offers. Begging for customers is also against the rules.
tl;dr GTFO
Because Elusive didn't get more nominations
I read that crunchyroll gives 50% to supporting the anime you watch, but that's still 50% being spend on their service, servers and marketing when file sharing is already a solved problem. If you were actually going to use crunchyroll you would also be watching more than one show which would further split the money from your subscribtion between a lot of bad and mediocre shows you don't want to support. Personally I want all of my money to go to a single show for maximum impact.
Though the whole argument is made even dumber when you consider that the amount of money you pay for crunchyroll is simply too little to even be considered support even if all of it went to the studio, if you really want to support the anime you like you should be paying tenfold through merch and events like the hardcore fans in asia do.
Something that makes it further stupid is that a lot of Japanese people don't actually pay to watch anime either as a lot of anime is broadcast for free on tv or made temporarily available to stream for free like when 15000 people tuned in to watch Girls Band Cry for free on youtube. Being a country where anime is as popular is it is they also have other options like watching at a friends house or buying a used dvd later on when it will be much cheaper. I do believe they also have streaming services that are much cheaper than crunchyroll.
Are they really though? I feel like most people who aren't hardcore or kids, don't pirate really also I own plenty of anime (mostly bought of the use market for dirt cheap).
No original anime?
Remember when only anime licensing company that was hated was 4Kids and they most likely won't have been if they did sub DVDs under another name. Like people use to be ok with fucking FUNi only thing people complained about was Dragonball stuff and that's before they started dubbing and subbing anime normally though.
If they didnt splurge the money on vanity projects like their stupid office and their darned "anime" with a trailer showing us the ultra dicerse cast (mostly women) instead of the actual fucking series...
TL;DR:
They dig their own grave, and I, for one, will not help them out of it.
Can't be bothered. I'd rather just read the plot summary somewhere.
No one wants dubbed censored garbage. I would sooner import the physical japanese version than watch a shitroll version.
Not to mention Crunchyroll started as a piracy site
lol, oh fuck I forgot all about that...TAKE ME BACK
Don't care, not paying.
I swear piracy is what companies use when they run out of excuses for why they're not making enough money for shareholders.
Put Slayers on your site you philistines
I don't want ameriburger mitts on the anime industry. It's a plague that needs to be eradicated.
I don't believe for a second CR is losing money or in a bad spot, but if they are they absolutely deserve it for buying out Rightstuf just to remove them from the competition.
