    @Mizzu321 @bunburyoudoujp But yeah, in this specific case it might be my misjudgment, because I've seen thrown that example as fuel for thrashing localisers with most of them probably not even understanding why it's bad, while OP actually correctly stated problem with Crunchyroll translation. My bad here.

    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

    @XperiARM @andipyon How do I pay the creator if the publisher won't sell it to me? Piracy is a service issue, look at Crunchyroll, Mangadex, Netflix and Steam, thanks to those platforms piracy has decreased, Crunchyroll and Mangadex in particular were initially pirate websites that became commercial

    @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.!

    @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.)

    @Crunchyroll I like how you guys are starting to promote the anime but please fix the subs so people can understand the story

    @Crunchyroll we had to scramble and someone send their link. Hopefully that does not gives issues because of your incompetence.

    @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

  • AstroNerdBoy
    AstroNerdBoy (@AstroNerdBoy) reported

    @tsukumotakumi @tenchizinn Part of the problem is Crunchyroll. When Pioneer/Geneon went out of business, FUNimation took over all of the Tenchi licenses. They kept stuff on Blu-ray and on streaming. However, Sony bought Crunchyroll streaming and FUNimation. Then Sony merged FUNimation into Crunchyroll. Because Crunchyroll is a streaming service, they don't do a lot of physical media releases. They want people to pay them eternally for the privilege to watch things. However, even here, when it came to all of the anime FUNimation had on streaming, for whatever reasons, Crunchyroll only put some of it up on Crunchyroll's streaming site. As such, OVA 1, OVA 2, OVA 3, GXP, Tenchi Universe, Dual!, etc. are no longer available. Crunchyroll only have OVA 4, OVA 5, GXP Paradise Starting, War on Geminar, AI Tenchi Muyo!, and Photon to watch. That's a reason piracy is on the rise in America for anime. Too many titles are not available to watch any more.

    @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.

  • catwonderer
    Loner (@catwonderer) reported

    @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.

    @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.

    @AmiPik1118 This is a huge problem on @Crunchyroll for a lot of shows too, shouldn't have to track down a Reddit post or pirate just to understand the thing the shot is focused on.

    @Anania00 I don’t know why we legitimize the crunchyroll awards when the general opinion is that company is awful

    @LameAdnBlame @azusa_maxima You can tone down the condescending laughing if you don't want to come off as aggressively hostile. Companies work with YouTube now, auto copyright strikes surged, any 20 part uploads fly under the radar with under 50k views while crunchyroll and bandai upload their own series.

    @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.”

    @Crunchyroll The first season looked good while being boring, so… I’m sure I’ll watch it when I have nothing better to do if the production quality is still good.

    Sean Burke (@SeanBurke644006) reported

    @tengudosyobo I think the issue ppl can be asking with Crunchyroll and official liciences why hasnt the money gotten better to creators, animators or vas. For example one of the voice actors for demon slayers only got 145 dollars for the first film

    @RemsOnlyKnight Yeah, it sounds fine The only real issue with the dub is that the script is the same as the AI generated crunchyroll subs

    @KyoukiDesu_ @Crunchyroll 😭she’s not the issue per say just the author he don’t want to end the series. It’s going to reach 600 chapters soon.

    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.

    Potte (@pottetan) reported

    @Crunchyroll we had to scramble and ask for someone to send their link. Hopefully that does not give issues to our tickets because of your incompetence in forgetting such an important part of the presale process. Many people used links from Reddit.

    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

    @ALTA_smile @TonalWeaver It varies but most companies don't really care about their customers beyond profit Crunchyroll, which essentially has a monopoly over anime distribution overseas, is infamous for cutting costs, poor quality service and AI translations,
