-
strajk- (@strajk_) reported@raisetom @Marte_Aleks Yes, because it will never be 0. It's a service issue which both of us already agreed on. The best way to combat piracy is to provide a better service, platforms like Netflix and Crunchyroll were the main force in combating pirating because they provided what the consumer wants.

viperion (@viperio76050352) reported@NAFCA_official I do what I can by buying manga and dvd's of anime when I can, but when it comes to those "legitimate channels," a lot of work is needed. Crunchyroll is a terrible service and not worth paying. I hope to see good services in the future that are actually worth paying.

The King Capricorn🥱 (@Hessiah__) reportedIm really enjoying the Witch Hat Atelier dub but its a little hard to hear what they’re saying… everyone talks pretty low compared to the rest of the audio so it almost sounds like whispering. This wouldn’t be an issue if crunchyroll had subtitles on dubbed episodes…
-
Yura 「Gozyu Styra」***** (@Ecchi_Zombie) reported@SirZombieCrocs 😔doubt it. TADC/Glitch actively talk to the theatres and made the call to action by telling their fans to try emailing them.... Crunchyroll probably just dumped it to theatres and didnt care about how long they would keep it there.
-
FantasiaProject (@ProjectFantasia) reportedCrunchyroll is a freaking mess! It causes nothing but problems that localizing here in the US can’t do nowadays.
-
Kei (@msj54540) reported@AbyMizuno @AmiPik1118 Crunchyroll does translate on-screen text most of the time, only recent shows have issues due to executive meddling

Pookie (@NightWalke72639) reported@OfficialTresure I'm on Volume 6/23 of the Manga, and lowkey, I plan on waiting for them to come out on Netflix, Hulu, or Crunchyroll, I'm not spending $30+ for 1 ticket, than drive 10-30 minutes to the movie theater just to watch it. That way I can watch it for free on top of reading the entire manga first. (And for the record, I will not spoil anything from the manga. If you buy it that's your financial choice, not mine. But Koyoharu-sensei was recognized by Togashi-sensei and in 2016 issue no. 42 of jump. She was allowed to draw Ryo for the issue with the final chapter of Kochikame. So whether you like it or not she is a popular mangaka with a lot of influence and a legendary writer. You can dislike Demon Slayer, it doesn't make that less of a fact.) (And before anyone asks, yes those are in the manga. I won't spoil anything important. But those are achievements she has and I'm taking them seriously because she brought up, Togashi-sensei. That's a name I'll always take seriously. You can take it how you want, but I am just the messenger.)

CyberKing (@CyberKingNova) reported@Eraserho3 @banirra09 (Disclaimer I know nothing about subtitling process) I had just assumed that other subs like fan subs would do translation notes and use Honorifics no problem, so I assumed it was a creative choice for the Crunchyroll subs to not use honorifics.

Revy the Tiefling (@WeebyRevy) reported@SaGa_NeilB We're already seeing JP game companies like Capcom pre-censor themselves just to avoid problems with the west. Anime already doesn't have all the fun, random ***** shots and the like anymore as it gets bigger in the west. Censor-heavy companies like Crunchyroll already stopped licensing ***** shows so they get pushed into smaller, niche streaming services like Hidive. Even at the studio level, one of the girls in Dandadan got covered up in a different outfit from the manga just to avoid problems with the west...
-
︎ ︎melyy (@fwmelyy) reported@WickedSalasa @sonngoku22 @belikegift6 Crashing Crunchyroll servers is light work and has always been light work for years, that’s not an achievement retard almost a lot of anime can do that. And weekly doesn’t matter one One Piece episode or a random DBS Beerus Remaster episode would crash those weak servers 😭😭😭
-
Andrew Ellis 🇧🇸 (@AndrewE17123890) reported@NextArk0 @Crunchyroll That explains it I didn’t know till later on that the creator of Spy family and Dandan help him on part 1
-
Suvikyi (@suvikyi) reportedI used to volunteer as a timer for fansub groups, back before Crunchyroll got big. I was one of those pirates that helped anime which did not have an official translation or license overseas find fans. I despise these people. These people who cannot respect cultural differences, who think the world should bow to their own views, who loudly proclaim indecency while being indecent people themselves. I have a strong detest for these people. I sometimes look back now and think that it wasn't worth it. Why did we put in all of that work only to have those efforts turn into something where Japanese creators are attacked by the people here? It's depressing.

Justis Hicks (@HicksJustis) reported@animeupdates Im preachin to the quire, I know we know this and corporate dont. Its just so amazing that thry try to find ways to fix this with"experts"when all it is atleast for crunchyroll, bring back comment section,be serious in preserving anime and not removing them,better translatlations
-
Political-Eric (@EricThehysteric) reported@p9cker_girl this alone shows the issue with Crunchyroll along with many other issues the idiots their can't even translate
-
Another human (@Deletewhenevr) reportedDiscotek and MVM might have translators notes. Pirate sites AI captions would also translate it... Netflix and Modern Crunchyroll would rather you suffer with awful "localizations" and forget to add subtitles when words are being said like Nintendo.
-
SinscoShopToday 🚯 (@SinscoShopSoon) reported@torasabu77 @mattatiah95 @Rinne_yt Lemme tell you something interesting: a lot of people you see with harsh opinions on this website will fight tooth and nail to defend artists from getting their work stolen. Countless protests have happened on crunchyroll by overseas watchers because of how poorly they’re paid.
-
Doctor D0M3 (@Doctor_D0M3) reportedThe problem is that people always have the option to cancel but choose not to because of FOMO, I just dropped Gamepass entirely and PS Plus from Premium to Essential, use my friend's CrunchyRoll, Amazon, and Netflix and still plan to cut subscriptions without resorting to piracy
-
Iftekhar Ifty (@Ifty2006) reported@NightWalke72639 @Tipsall001 Theaters cannot be crashed r u okay bro? Also Infinity Castle movies won't crash Crunchyroll since all of them will be theater exclusive for very long time and then before official release majority will pirate so official streaming release won't have much hype
-
Jonathan Saint Fong (@thegreatestjc) reported@Dexerto Tbh. It is what it is. I would just be happy if people enjoyed my work regardless. I'll still make money. Look at what crunchyroll is charging their users.....who's gonna stay loyal for long? Probably not a lot of people.
-
Salty Shackle (@BEvil57046) reported@neongenesisms @IzukoKuroda That and he’s a paid shill for Crunchyroll, the worst streaming site available.
-
cxsh (@wunknown14) reportedgear 5 is the only one here that had crunchyroll coming forward claiming that it broke their servers. that said, we all know which of the 4 will be slandered the most don't we?

WildSouls (@wildsoulest) reported@kaminarumono77 1. Would you then argue that things like netflix or crunchyroll are unecessary then, because they serve the same purpose as steam does as a third party middle man between the consumer and the producer. Also what would be the proposed solution to account for not having a third party? 2. A manga version of steam is globally available and actually serves regional pricing, refunds Using Bookwalker as an example which suites for all of them on average , a large category of the selection is region locked, and gives zero option for regional pricing, offline support is limited with drm not making it available for for Ereaders so if you need a Ereader due to a disability your **** out of luck. While steam gives all of that, and more. 3. How is that steams fault in anyway that they can prevent or fix? Are we going to say that Sony, Microsoft, or Google are contrived/convuluted because they make to much profit off their store. Steam obviously invest that profit back in to company by improving the store, SteamOs, the steamdeck, the vr, making games etc.

Josh (@Dingleberry221) reported@Crunchyroll You guys were god awful. I subscribed April 15th and didn’t get an email and had to get it through an agent. Today the link that was provided by the agent didn’t work and I had to rely on Reddit. Please don’t host any presale again. Sincerely everyone

Verratus_Dominatu ✌️😈💜 (@Verratus_Speaks) reported@animetrends Also secondary point I just realized. People used to consume products like this all the time for free on TV. Anime doesn't typically air, especially not super commonly in the US on any particular TV channel, or other free service. The closest is Crunchyroll for a paid subscription, but they suck for a dozen different reasons. Maybe stop bitching about the pirates and go ***** about Crunchyroll, Netflix and other streaming services and their God awful business practices that drive people towards piracy instead of legitimate consumption Through a convenient and well priced service. Or you can go to war with pirates, which you have no way of ever actually stopping in. Will only serve to upset your fan base, and also, if anything, make you either more hated, less popular, or make less money from people who otherwise would have given it to you. You can try that strategy too. It's an interesting one. We'll see how it works out. Historically? not well.

leonis (@leoniisx) reported@YA9516 Honestly I think the only problem with this anime is that Crunchyroll is one of the producers… Which means if the show is a success they make some money from it…
-
Noodle (@iloveNoodlez) reported@Crunchyroll The way the link was embedded in the email could've been better. On Android no issues the link opened Ticketmaster but on Apple - it kept opening the Crunchyroll app for my friend so he had a hard time getting around that to buy tickets. Even though he got an email + code lol
-
Get a brain (@GetABrain0) reported@toeiamination & @Crunchyroll wtf are you and your team doing,. you dub things and add subs in the "dub" language,.. but your timing on one piece is awful..... the "dub" subs are like 5 to 15 secs off of the show, to what is heard.. do better wtf.. like it has a qc process right?
-
Crutch (@Crutch37257774) reported@kyuusyuha_001 Our corporations **** with customers, so we don't want to give Netflix or Crunchyroll any money (people that have money at all). Your corporations **** over the creators by not paying them, that's why you want to support the artists. The issue is that our goals are different.

eris (@Nashranamri) reportedmuse asia being delayedon yt by trash Crunchyroll by 2 weeks when they fail to serve quality update on their site is why piracy is back

Chinonyerem-Senpai (@Chi_Chinonyerem) reported@anaero_chukwudi @jewels_uduehi Fair enough, let go pay for Crunchyroll subscription then. I just wanna support their work man
