      Well, with some shows u get to watch 3 episodes of the newer anime for free (spy x family is an example) they give u episode 1 episode 2 and episode 3 then episode 4 u gotta upgrade. It used to be that u was 1 week behind premium members. For example an episode 18 came out for premium, episode 17 would then unlock for free members to watch a week behind.

    Another thing to look at is that Funimation used to dub damn near every series they had regardless of popularity with one of the few popular exceptions being the monogatari series but with Crunchyroll they only dub stuff they view as popular

      I know. I missed that I have a favorite animethe 1st season hot a dub but then the 2nd season came on crunchyroll and they skipped over it.
      It doesn't help its a baseball anime that it isn't very popular at all except in Japan

    I think the issue with anime streaming services is mainly the exclusivity model. When one streaming service acquires the exclusive rights to distribute an anime, it effectively forms a mini “monopoly” around that show. Now, if you want to legally stay up to date on seasonal anime, the shows are split up across many different streaming services. This also results in the lovely situation where multiple seasons of the same show are split amongst various streaming services.
    So basically, the two scenarios are:
    1: You have one company distributing anime. You only have to subscribe to one service, but they can raise prices as much as they want. Also they don’t have to worry about providing a good user experience (software and such).
    2: You have multiple companies distributing exclusive anime. You have to subscribe to many services, and they can still raise prices as much as they want (albeit to a lesser extent). And many still don’t care about decent software.
    Or the hidden scenario:
    3: Anime is distributed with non-exclusive rights by multiple services, making them actually have to compete with one another over their price and usability.
    I acknowledge that this would be very hard to do in practice, but I think it’s a nice concept.

    On one hand I'm glad there isn't a monopoly on the anime industry like one company with most or not all old/new anime to come out but on the other, when you gotta have 3, 4 or more subscriptions to watch anime that sucks too. And I don't think it's going to get any better but hopefully better times come plus you can always sail the seven seas.

      True. Crunchyroll will always be that niche option until the bigger companies can outpace them.

      Considering you use DVDs in assuming you don't cause no one in their right mind would use physical media as their way to watch anime.

    • @markwatson8714
      @markwatson8714 Před 6 měsíci

      @@ben99ny69 What's wrong with those prices? Generally speaking they're only expensive when new, when an entire season can set you back thirty five quid on BR or twenty five on DVD. They rapidly drop down to the ten/twenty quid price point though (in fact I was recently able to get the entire of K-On, including the movie, on Blu Ray for fifteen quid from Amazon). That's ignoring of course the fact that you can always buy second hand - which netted me both current seasons of Re-Zero on Blu Ray for five quid each courtesy of Cex.
      Amazon are also starting to do the same thing they do with their music store where if you buy the physical copy of something they have on Prime, you get access to that digital copy on Prime too.

    I only use hidive , Crunchyroll and occasionally Netflix as a handful of those shows don’t interest me aside from Edens zero season 2 , Tonikawa s2 , Urusei Yatsura remake , birdie wing golf girls story , muv luv alternative etc but I don’t use Hulu anymore nor disney aside from the future avengers . Also blu ray sets are somewhat manageable compared to the imports of japan and oop price gouging sets of expired / defunct anime shows movies * $500 for Megaman exe anime vols , fate zero blu ray imports aniplex USA* but those are just my thoughts and theory.

    I can’t believe people don’t just rotate subscriptions. Remember pirating affects anime studios because they really on companies to license their products. Everyone that pirates should be grateful to people that pay to watch the content. In my opinion.
    If everyone pirates and companies don’t see viewership then they start cutting it off.

    It’s hard to watch Tegami Bachi Officially, Like Crunchyroll Took Off Season 1 of Tegami Bachi and Now you have to be premium to even watch it. Sadly it hasn’t been released on Blu-Ray, but I hope this year for its 15th anniversary they do something, but since Pierrot is so focused on milking Naruto, I don’t think they will..
