    Pirate streaming sites are so weird because with anime sites, they tend to work even better than paid services like Crunchyroll, whereas western movie sites work like everything is being streamed from some laptop in estonia

    @tatayoshua @yamanakanobody @brave I will also go further, I hated the transition from funimation to crunchyroll. After funimation was bought by Sony, security became an issue, and my account was hijacked a few times, forcing me to transition with no customer service available.

    @TaelArts Get manga publishers to actually invest in a good translation/localization team whilist making acess to said work convenient and affordable and you'll see piracy for this sort of media drop, alas we're dependent on Crunchyroll for a lot of stuff and I'm not paying them a cent.

    @neongenesisms @IzukoKuroda That and he’s a paid shill for Crunchyroll, the worst streaming site available.

    @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.

    @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.

    @Dexerto Who should I believe? A random author, or several market studies that followed after the massive success of services such as Steam, Netflix and Crunchyroll? Piracy is a service issue, piracy was at an all time low for that reason, only price hikes and bad service brought it back.

    @CCTakato @Crunchyroll I more talking about putting it in theaters. They could easily put it on streaming, but a theatrical... the name would be an issue for Sony itself

    @animeheadsretro Crunchyroll buying rightstuff really has been one of the absolute worst things to happen to the industry

    The Archivist (@Archive_Knarl) reported

    @AcSK1LLies In the long run Vic won, he still voice acts, still gets accepted at conventions that aren’t the big name cons, acts in live action stuff. While Funimation died, crunchyroll took over, fired a majority of the funimation people, and now Monica and her ilk barely get work

    @sudotadashi @Crunchyroll The fans itself is trying to use licensed anime or merch, many don't like groups selling or charging fees, but somehow the Companies just don't get the message or the idea, they need to evolve, otherwise keep losing and unfortunately, the creators get the worst

  • Ifty2006
    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

    muse asia being delayed on yt by trash Crunchyroll by 2 weeks when they fail to serve latest quality update on their site is why piracy is back

    @bob_mcblob @JanchoRZ @Crunchyroll What we got from someone on the production team they will fix anything for future episodes before airing but we don’t know if they ever gonna fix ep 1 ever also season 3 errors were fixed in dub

    @p9cker_girl @MofuMofuDraws Its time for crunchyroll to shut down…. If they cant remain faithful to the original, then they dont deserve any work

  • Deletewhenevr
    Another human (@Deletewhenevr) reported

    Discotek 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.

    @GyaruGlow As long as anime platforms continue to be awful, like crunchyroll, piracy will continue, also, doesn't the spanish police have other more important things to care about?

  • EricThehysteric

    @p9cker_girl this alone shows the issue with Crunchyroll along with many other issues the idiots their can't even translate

  • PotBlocked

    @Dexerto Sony (Japanese company) lowered the quality of Crunchyroll A LOT, and the other streaming platforms aren't much better. Who's surprised?

  • nektworks
    avi (@nektworks) reported

    Seems like Crunchyroll is changing their web video player for the worse: 1. No longer uses SubtitlesOctopus for *** subtitles, instead using hardsubs. Note that hardsubs were already used on the TV/mobile version. 2. No more direct quality selection.

    @AOIKEN72 As Gabe Newell once said. Piracy is a service problem. When piracy is more convenient, you have a problem. That is why Crunchyroll is suffering right now. I hate corporations and the bastards making a profit from theft. It's a situation where no one wins and we all lose.

  • wildsoulest
    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.

    I 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 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.

  • WeAreLegion86

    @Chimurry_Al @threenotes_jp Right. But if Crunchyroll were smart, they could act as a central "hub" for pirate sites, instead of trying to fight it. I know it's probably more complex than that, but it'd solve the quality/library issues in my mind.

    @bob_mcblob @JanchoRZ @Crunchyroll Dude have you not realized the people who do the translations at CR are the reason why ep 2 has no errors also they already noticed the mistakes and are fixing them

    @Albe_de_ta @Crunchyroll Nope. Chizuru is the worst bar none. She takes little to no responsibility for her actions. Faces no consequences. And she gets away with it because “She’s so beautiful.”
