you either give people all over the world get immediate access to your product for a reasonable price, or it will be pirated.

Nah, look at what Crunchyroll does and look at how prevalent anime piracy still is.

Da

I could understand if Crunchyroll isn't available in your country, but you don't have much of a leg to stand on if it is. Unless it is something that has isn't on there and not licensed. Or something like the Gundam franchise, which doesn't seem to have a chance in hell of ever being licensed in the US again.

So what if you have to wait a week to watch the new episode of a currently airing anime series if you're only a free user. Check out another anime in the meantime.

weren't we talking about manga?

(Anonymous) 2014-06-28 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, my bad. The secret mentioned both anime and manga, so I went with anime. I don't know how good Crunchyroll is when it comes to manga.

Crunchroll's working on it and has a few that they simulcast (?) and a few other companies do too, but manga's a much larger industry in Japan than anime that for even a combination of companies to translate most of the currently running manga wouldn't be feasible.

ayrt

Yeah, I totally get that if you have no access in your country or if it isn't currently licensed, but it seems like for the most part it's people who just won't fork over the seven bucks a month or wait a week.

Anime's kind of tricky because for the longest time piracy and fansubs used to be the ONLY way you could watch stuff and that kind of culture continued even though the anime scene changed.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-28 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Ayrt

Exactly. Most of the excuses I've seen tend to be that they can't possibly wait a week to catch the newest episode. Which I can kind of understand being frustrated about, but damn. Busy yourself with something else while you wait.

Yeah. But Crunchyroll has been legal for how long? They've had plenty of time to adjust.

I once tried the free Crunchyroll trial and had to realize that all of the anime I wanted to watch weren't available for my region/country. I was more than ready to pay for streamed anime, but if Crunchyroll is going to cockblock me by not letting me watch what I want to watch, it's quite shitty.

That being said, I just went back to either ordering the occasional DVD from Japan or I wait for the licensed anime to be released here.
