  The Physical Copy market is in a CRISIS! Please Share this. Here is why: Say you want to cancel your subscription and buy Blu-Ray discs. Really build up your collection of Anime.. Step 1: Write down EVERY anime you want before Crunchyroll removes it from your personal Crunchylist. Step 2: Create a wishlist to buy them Step 3: Attempt to locate ANY Physical copies that are available, AND compatible with U.S. Blu-Ray players. Sounds simple enough right? Here is what you don't know: After Funimation merged with Crunchyroll, all physcial disc production from Funimation stopped, making the supply for certain anime limited, and demand high. Scarcity drives up the price of these disconinuted copies. Some go for resale between $150 & $500! Newer copies $35-$60. Now. IF you find your physical copy, and buy it, there is a chance it will not work with your Blu-Ray player, because its possible its only compatible with players from Europe and Asia. So theres another $200-$300 for a working Disc player. Now add up the total of your ENTIRE WATCHLIST! Hell, add up ONE 3-season anime,every season is another $25-$35 if its a newer season. You'll spend $90-$100 on just a single anime. In Summary: This is a Monopoly in the works! How do you stop people from buying physical? Increase the cost of physical copies. How do you increase the cost of physical copies? Remove them. Scarcity drives prices up, people stop buying physical, and everyone flocks to digital. This is just one reason. The other? Is convenience. They know they can make production of discs in a single location and by order. They don't need mass production of discs, just a single location that makes discs by the order. The resale market would eventually heal due to a surplus of movies. This is intentional inflation in the media market. Games, Movies, Anime, all of it is at risk if SONY gets their way with the removal of physical copies. It will not surprise me if Sony announces the discontinuation of blu-ray players next.

  @SelflessGiftx @MangaAlerts You’re right that licensing is an issue and Crunchyroll isn’t available in Japan. But thing is if a show is removed from streaming and isn’t physically available people will resort to piracy. I thought Crunchyroll’s mission was to protect the anime industry from piracy?

  @iammal @animeupdates The problem with Crunchyroll, however, is that they are worse than what Funimation was, even with all it’s flaws, when it came to keeping up with licenses.

  @Crunchyroll canceled your app you incompetent company. After weeks of you ignoring requests to fix simple features, you deserve to not be a company. Why run a business when you don’t care about your paying customers?

  @Crunchyroll I have a fundamental question. Tomb raider King has no English subtitles. I can’t watch it. Also, I became a legend after my 10 year long stand. Episode three has nothing to choose from. I pay a subscription. Hello please fix.

  Good Morning, X! Another day of wine and roses.... What are your plots? Your plans? Your plunderings for today? Busy, busy, busy day! I'm half-assing at work and daydreaming about Pokémon Yellow & Pokémon Stadium 2. I'm trying to get a team of level 5s together so I can register them. Besides that, I'll be doing leg day at the gym and I plan on terrorizing Sony PlayStation some more. I can't stop, and I need my fix..... Every day I Iog in and tell myself that I'm going to talk about something else, but I just get more and more mad at SONY.... I'll rest when I'm dead. I have work to do, gang. Stay tuned. ---------NoDiscNoBuyALERT----------- Before I forget, here is a special message for our readers: KEEP HARASSING PLAYSTATION ON X- Keep the community notes coming!

  @makiirols This didn't used to be a problem when the people doing the subtitles were fans who actually cared. Now it's corporations like Crunchyroll and y'all refuse to pirate all of their shows so you get what you deserve.

  Having heard the Japanese from the scenes in question... I don't think crunchyroll did that bad translating this time. The other translation feels a bit like an old-school fan translation, with both errors and charms. But honestly, I think that Chibi is being nitpicky here.

  And for what? To increased their ******* bottom line a little. Oh... but it gets worst because I also heard that they coherence CrunchyRoll into not only their store behind a pay wall, and having people pay a second time, but enact a bogus return policy. -

  @Scratch_Point_Z companies only listen when they see that the user base takes a stand and they start having their revenue affected. if you have problems, do something. you can watch anime on other platforms like amazon, netflix, hulu, hidive and you can use piracy sites if people really want to create change, stop your subs crunchyroll has proven time and time again that they have anti consumer behaviors, they sold data without consent, they were hacked so they cant even protect your data/credit card info, they took away peoples purchased content during the merge from funimation, and they have been accused of union busting quite afew times.

  Physical. I have a right as a consumer to own what I purchase. If Corporations like Sony eliminate my ability to own my media be it games or anime (crunchyroll) then that should be grounds for a lawsuit. I remember when you could go to the store, got the Blu-Ray, DVD, AND Digital code all for $60 in a BUNDLE. Now look where we are. All sold seperately, or not at all. Subscription only. Digital ownership is NOT ownership. It is simple a corporation giving you permission to watch it on their servers. WAKE UP! Support physicial media while we still can!

  @peacecommander2 There’s the fact you clearly didn’t understand what I just explained, and then there’s the fact you cannot prove these supposed bots even exist. “A bot costs $10” is not evidence that Re0 fans actually bought any but is just an accusation you invented because the numbers clearly upset you, also crunchyroll likes are one isolated metric on a platform that has repeatedly mishandled Re:Zero through subtitle problems, translation errors, licensing issues and the AI subtitle controversy. A lot of Re:Zero fans simply watch it elsewhere (and even reaction channels that usually only watch Anime on CR watch Re:zero on fan translated episode or Muse Asia for that vert reason) so there is no reason to expect Crunchyroll engagement to perfectly represent the whole fanbase. Re0 tho is ahead across virtually every broader popularity metric people actuall use (even in Japan using Abema, Re:zero blows MT off the surface) and it has won five Crunchyroll Anime Awards while Mushoku Tensei has won none. Those awards are also decided through fan engagement so apparently Crunchyroll users are legitimate when they like an episode but suddenly unreliable when they vote for Re0. You have no evidence of bots, you ignored the platform specific explanation and you dismissed every metric that favors Re0 but are clinging to the one that favors Mushoku Tensei. You’re just coping gang, let it go.

  @LucasGnagy @mantis_bunny You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. The Switch 1 did have a browser, just no dedicated browser app. Apps like YouTube, Crunchyroll, etc. just opened an embedded browser to their websites. Please go do some actual research as to how these systems work

  @ChibiReviews The "anime creators" being silent on the matter doesn't surprise me in the slightest at all because they were never truly anime & manga fans at all if they truly were then otherwise they wouldn't be paid out by crunchyroll entirely but to assure everyone this still won't work

  @naranciagaming Unfortunately not a MAL issue, on any anime sites that allow comments they'll be full of homophobia and bigotry. I believe that's why crunchyroll took down theirs because it was just vile as ****

  @autopilotgod And I do think it's a rarity when you got a platform that doesn't promote crap that butchers everything it touches Plus Crunchyroll has the worst track record known to mankind. It's funny how you treat my words like gospel but truthfully I'm a nobody. 😐

  Paying separately for Netflix, Crunchyroll, Canva, and ChatGPT is not a lifestyle, it is a clerical error you have been making on a monthly basis, and Groupy is the correction.
