    @no_otra_cuenta @Drake828 If you need to lower the level with insults, I guess you might the one with comprehension problem. Agian, if there was nothing happening, Kodansha wouldnt need to go on a ban spree with everyone against them. Not even Crunchyroll does this bullshit when ppl complain about their services...

  • RomNace
    YaNATO (@RomNace) reported

    @Tomoejp1236 I think that, with some initial support from the government while the service is in its infancy, an “Anime Steam” could be profitable very soon. The real problem I see is the licensing of the anime. (You can’t have the Netflix and Crunchyroll stealing the deals).

    @walpurgisnachti @strikersashi @azukiglg Back then very little anime was available to purchase. We were able to import goods and toys to show support. In modern day Amazon & Crunchyroll have made it easier to watch "legal" Anime. However and issue is the services have bad translations which leads to more piracy.

    @Stoopbets @Idontexistalr @Dexerto Look who's yapping. Disposable income doesn't mean anything if there's no quality service. And look, that's where America sucks. Do I need to point out just how bad Crunchyroll is to name but one example? At that point even having no service is better than that service.

    @Catherine_Duan No seems like everywhere is saying the same issue. I think crunchyroll ****** up….

    @animelarp @AnimexTwts Don't forget It's AI images they had ton of time to do lot of them before release with all tries & errors VS human made with only few days to design, draw it, put it in the render it with whole episode Then upload it & hopes that someone at Crunchyroll will change VOD at time

    @CCTakato @Crunchyroll Well I shouldn't say not but I'm guessing the name "Assassination Classroom" is an issue and the fact its with kids.

    @JuanDav63254336 @Mashiro_yuh @luzarak10259 Crunchyroll is awful we have constant complaints here about it. They also barely produce money for the creators.

    @NotNikSmh @ramennnnoodle And with how god-awful the Crunchyroll subs and translations are there are tons who would at least check out your subs so long as they aren't from that site.!

  • ClipsarianDaily
    Clipsarian's Daily ERB Posts (@ClipsarianDaily) reported

    *NOTICE There are many affected users who can't watch ERB react video to Sentenced to be a Hero due to Regional Block by Crunchyroll. To bypass this issue, it is recommended to use available built-in VPNs in your browsers or install legitimate VPNs to be able to watch #BFKingdom

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

  • Verratus_Speaks

    @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.

    @zt5019576939774 I agree. It is morally wrong to pirate. I do wish there was a better way to do it, but overseas partners like Crunchyroll have a lot of control. I wish anime creators to be well paid, and for overseas fans to enjoy their work too.

    @nori123412 @Segah02457547 People are dropping Crunchyroll because they are using AI slop, among other problems

  • BoostCrabb
    ISHIROn't (@BoostCrabb) reported

    @ChibiReviews The main problem will always be that the Japanese don't distribute their content outside of Japan; instead, it's sold through companies like Crunchyroll and Netflix that do everything but provide good service, and they are more concerned with censorship.

  • PotBlocked
    Dersey (@PotBlocked) reported

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

    @AyakaMods Not everything needs localization. Anime fans know what kun and san mean. Whoever made the Crunchyroll subtitles just complicated their own work for no reason and got worse results

    @magisxdv @CEkwealor20241 Ya unlike lotm which had delayed dubs,ai subtiles, cutting out content from original eps and 0 marketing. Tbhx none of this problem and had good marketing. Also I don't why he would say that when this is Crunchyroll ratings and not china ratings 😭😭😭😭

    @zhngtng347626 @darknessking089 The game hasn't had alot of promotion even overseas but that's because Crunchyroll is awful at it. Despite this it's doing well and that makes it even more impressive

    @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.

    @azusa_maxima I've avoided this topic because it seemed toxic as well, but my two cents on the issue is that there are both kinds of people everywhere. Right now, I pay for Crunchyroll (even with my issues for the platform) and buy physical medial when it's available.

  • Miros_Amon
    Miros (@Miros_Amon) reported

    @MadamLaconic @MadamSavvy "rest of your point doesn't matter" it absolutely does. the complaint is Crunchyroll treating SUBS like dubs by removing honorifics that defeats the purpose of having subs vs dubs as separate options you're deflecting from the actual issue

  • suvikyi
    Suvikyi (@suvikyi) reported

    @Crimson_Gaia Unlicensed content rarely got targeted in the same way, it wasn't until distributors decided they were going to make a large effort for official distribution that unlicensed work got hit with takedown requests, which is around the same time Fakku went legit and Crunchyroll took off.

  • GyaruGlow
    Marini (@GyaruGlow) reported

    I’m still baffled that Crunchyroll keeps getting away with how poorly managed their platform are with all the bugs and censorship (episodes missing, bad localization, ui bugs, anime’s being removed from the catalog) Also I want to bring attention to their latest data breach They still don’t protect their users: > No mass email notifications > No forced password resets, or compensation. > Limited public communication. Their responses have been short statements given only to journalists > Some minor in-app help. A number of users have recently seen new in-app pop-up warnings about phishing but that’s it In short: They’ve essentially told everyone to handle it themselves It really makes me angry because people’s data are important. Now it’s probably been sold to some group of hackers / scammers and the users have no idea about it

  • CyberKingNova
    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.

    @bunburyoudoujp That's the problem my friend, Crunchyroll it's an Sony company... Why a japanese company it's so compromised with the overseas people? Why a japanese company it's in a madness to farm more and more money at the point of ignoring their own culture to receive approve of foreigners?
