The only reason I don't use legal sites is because I can't watch 90% of shows because they are region locked
You could use an VPN
Or start hoisting the skull and crossbones. At least the seven seas are consumer friendly.
I dont use illegal sites cause Im fine with ads and dont wanna risk my pc to malware
@@sebastianharbom2137 VPNs are blocked on my University internet, and yet nearly EVERY pirating site isn't. It's a fairly easy choice. I didn't even know a single pirating site until about 2 months ago, and now I'm watching loads of stuff that isn't on Crunchyroll due to region lock or exclusive licenses. Amazing shows like Violet Evergarden, Spice & Wolf, Made in Abyss and Dororo that I would otherwise have never seen solely due to the shit state of the provider industry.
@@popepepe6042 just boot up a virtual machine if you're that scared or use a portable hard drive for everything and just reinstall windows if you catch a malware exe. Compare and contrast. Use Firefox with ublock origin, ghostery, and https addons for minimum chances of malware infection. Don't give money to human rights violators!
You have to pirate one piece, it's just the logical thing to do.
Luffy would be proud
Unless you have a bandwidth cap. Doesn't it have 200 episodes or something??
you'd use up your bandwidth watching it on a legal streaming site anyways what's the difference?

My main issue is there's no one site that has every show, if there was I think most people would pay for anime. Of course the problem is if a company got to that point they'd have a monopoly and could jack up their prices, so there's no perfect solution.
wouldn't that website hold a monopoly over every anime ever; isn't that against the law for the reason that it makes it impossible for anyone else to compete, essentially giving most of the revenue to one company
William Torres Not if licences weren't exclusive. Publishers in Japan seem oblivious to the sheer amount of money they're losing by making these exclusive deals.
Kissanime
Talon : no, because in france for instance we only have access to some anime, not everything of the crunchyroll catalog already, and funimation is not even available AT ALL
If there was a site like that, it would cost as much as several existing sites combined. And monopolies aren't known for being cheap, innovative, or consumer-friendly. If pirates are whining about paying multiple sites because they expect to get everything for the price of a CR subscription, they're not going to pay more for a site that has "every show."
Besides, neither Netflix, Hulu, nor Amazon has every US movie and TV show ever made, yet people still pay for one or more of those sites. I'd say part of the problem lies with the anime viewerbase's culture of entitlement and unrealistic expectations.
Crunchyroll: "Sorry, not avalible in your country, this is USA and Japan only content"
Me: You said it, not me *pirates*
@Roger Dodger Its not just anime. Try watching Hulu outside of the US.
@@altrag pffpp just try fmovies.se I watched the whole 1st season of the Simpsons with adblock on and it's not just piracy I use it for, I also use it for sites like porn hub and the rule 34 site

@@Kentaloupe I watch it every Tuesday on hulu

literally the worse thing anime sites have is pop up ads while HULU literally makes you watch adds even though you pay for the dam service.
for me I didn't have to watch the ads. you would probably have to pay extra for no ads, now I went back to pirate websites due to getting rid of hulu.
@@yukaenvy5446 yeah but hulus ads aren't introducing viruses...
@@zo7627 You still shouldn't pay to see ads. Also, ads don't introduce viruses unless you're technologically ignorant, most of the time they're just on the side and if you don't click them you're fine.

Yes and that’s why you don’t buy the 5.99 subscription, you get what you pay for
When people ask me where I watch One Piece and such, my only answer is:
"The secret Ingredient is crime"
Piracy²
“Well, you see, you should be like the people in One Piece.”
“Pirates?”
“You’re a quick one…”
It's the pirate's life for me
I have Crunchyroll premium so I watch one piece there
I would say the law requires i answer no
A deaf person would think this is a One Piece review.
I thought I was pirating one piece.
But the title...
One piece are pirates, hence the one piece background anime, his point is still valid
We really should start to pirate anime, also... a english dubbing company needs to buy the rights for One Piece from Funimation so we can actually get Punk Hazard dubbed... Man at least with 4Kids we were about to get to Dressrosa Arc... oof
I loved the One Piece scenes in the background. Made the vid more enjoyable imo.
A good example of a good pirate combatter is Steam. Lots of people favor Steam instead of pirating, just because of how fuckin convenient it is.
GreenSoap Yeah Valve is good, i mean Gaben
I like GoG, but as it is it only serves as an alternative for most people, because Steam just excels as a platform.
Gaben make fair sales.. 80% discount is good.
Honestly this is so true lol
I pirate everything but not games I just buy em on steam if I can't buy em on steam I don't buy em
Yeah, you don't need to go trough all the setups and steps, you just buy it, download it and play it.
Just wanna add another point: a lot of legal streaming sites have a lot of region locked content, so in some cases you are trying to buy the service legally but you cant because it's not available in your country. Also for the "just use a vpn" argument, yeh let's pay ANOTHER subscription just so I can pay for a service I can get for free.
alsofor those, just use a vpn argument -> isnt paying for subscription going to give me convinence and smooth experience than the ad filled kiss-anime alternative. Like how steam did to installing games
Vpns cost hundreds of dollars. I fucking hate this shit.
There are many decent free vpn services
@@rackzgotmee I tried a free VPN on Netflix once to watch a show that is only available on USA netflix. didn't work.
@@shre6619 lol that isnt the only site, animeowl lets you turn off adds for free an even lets you choose the quality of streaming including 1080p.
Here's another reason why piracy wins over legal streaming. SOMETIMES, OLD SHOWS ARE REMASTERED IN 1080P. In 2020, El Hazard was remastered for bluray. Is there any way to watch that version legally? Only if I bought the expensive Japanese Blu Rays, then downloaded subtitle files, ripped the blu rays, and did a crapload of muxing work. Imagine if Crunchyroll did an ad saying, "whenever a blu ray remaster of a dvd quality show we have is released, we will update our dvd quality videos with the blu ray quality video." That would at least be something.
That's illegal. They'd have to pay the company that remastered it, pay someone to sub it (or do what you said, use the existing subtitle file) and pay someone to look for remasters, or pay someone to make an ai that looks for remasters automatically. Either way, its a mega loss to them, for not a lot of potential.
For a good feature, it needs to be cheap to implement and provide clear potential. The problem is that these companies are horrible at recognizing the potential and hella low ball it. They dont see the value in "qol" features.
i own that expensive japanese blu-ray
I'm kind of sick of the "this series is not available in your region" thing
Regions are annoying huh?
guess what, there's a chrome extension for that.
yeah, but that's still not legal and can get your account banned
Gea Force Well I’m already paying for the service, so they can piss off
wait, you guys pay to watch anime?
Man even Netflix is doing more for anime than crunchy roll and funimation
Yeah cause their making their own Netflix originals anime that are actually good violet ever garden, Beastars, bna and more.
@The Deathless story 7/10. Characters, action, and music 10/10.
Funimation doesn't even got Jojo's
I prefer SAO on Crunchyroll
@@LarryDevaun 7ds 🥺
Two main reason to pirate:
1: The series is no longer available or not available in your country (and no way to directly import from Japan)
2: Localization companies (ie: Funimation) altering , censoring and /or injecting a political or social ideology into the local release.
torrent gundam but buy gunpla to make up for it
Localization literally means to change it for the Region.
@@cakeisyummy5755 but instead the companies insert this cringe political shit that makes no sense in the context of the anime (they actually change the context) that will be redundant in like 10 years to people who watch their dub in the future
@@CKangZ can you give an example of this happening
@@WhayYay
Over the past 15+ years, American-based anime import company FUNimation has had a series of incidents in which individuals working on the dubs of their various shows have altered the dialogue in individual episodes to include references to then-current sociopolitical matters within the United States. Shows known to have been affected by this include “Crayon Shin-Chan”, “Prison School”, “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid”, and “My Girlfriend is a Gal”.
This alone has been enough to upset not just anime fans the world over, but even reportedly some Japanese studios, as it brings controversy to shows that didn’t originally have that specific controversy going.
However, it’s not the only issue FUNimation is dealing with right now.
FUNimation paid a high price for the license to the series “Interspecies Reviewers”, a price they paid sight unseen. Because of this, it wasn’t until they were dubbing the first episode that they realized it was incredibly raunchy, at which point the voice actors balked at continuing. FUNimation halted production, only to sit on the license for several months thereafter. While people were waiting for FUNimation to figure out what they were going to do (they eventually sold the license to Nozomi Entertainment, which has a division that handles “adult” material), individuals employed by FUNimation took to social media to lecture everyone about how “if you can’t get it legally then you don’t need to have it” in response to people demanding that the series at least be subtitled.
FUNimation also botched the home video release of at least one recent “Dragonball Z” movie, such that the US release had a green tint to it that the theatrical screening and non-US releases didn’t have.
Several FUNimation employees - including top voice actors - have used their social media accounts to express controversial political sentiment, with many of these individuals getting into fights with fans and critics alike over them.
One of FUNimation’s top voice actors, Vic Mignogna, was hit with numerous allegations of improper sexual behavior right after the aforementioned Dragonball Z movie was released, a film where he had a major starring role. Some of these allegations fell apart instantly, but the fact that allegations were even made enough for FUNimation to fire him after what was essentially a kangaroo court. Mignogna has since gone through several rounds of legal action against a number of his co-workers and others in an effort to try and clear his name.
…Meanwhile, several individuals who had accused Mignogna were themselves outed as predators and criminals, such as one individual who was caught soliciting minors and another individual who had a criminal record for assaulting their ex-wife.
…And if that wasn’t bad enough, a series of audio recordings, images, and video recordings have surfaced indicating that contrary to the moral purity many of Mignogna’s accusers - and others at FUNimation - proclaimed in public they themselves often engaged in unprofessional and even lewd behavior on a regular basis, including a raunchy parody of one of the shows they have the license for.
Put it all together, and those people who know about FUNimation’s assorted scandals and incidents do not trust them anymore, and do not want to support a company that allows its employees to behave in such a fashion as has since been exposed. It’s to the point now that whenever FUNimation announces another license there’s a surge in traffic on pirate websites to get that show in its raw Japanese format. There is also reason to believe that their actions are on the minds of many Japanese studios and media companies, and that it’s part of why there has been a push to find new ways for these companies to deliver content directly to foreign audiences.
- Kissanime killed for no reason other than schmoney
- everyone who watched anime on the site wondering why crunchyroll charges for fucking beta features and other stupid shit
- "beta feature you can't complain"

There’s still a lot of really good ones so… FUCK THE INDUSTRY.
I have a paid service but this message will always get me to pirate: "This anime is not available in your country"
Got any of dem animes? -Insert DaveChappelleCrackMeme.jpeg -
Streaming services are so incompetent at their one job.
Herp DeDerp That's exactly the reason, thank you! I'm not paying for an incomplete service.
What makes it worse is that people know that they are getting an incomplete service but they dont actually know how incomplete due to the lack of infomation on the net.
Herp DeDerp well another problem with them is that they have to get streaming rights in the first place, so the amount of anime is very limited
"Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem, If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable." -Gabe Newell
Region locks don't explain piracy in areas where content *is* available, though. CR and others offer US customers access to anime 24/7, in the same format pirates prefer (streaming), purchasable from the convenience of their personal computer, and (Netflix aside) as soon as it airs in Japan. Sure seems like a lot of anime viewers just don't want to pay subscription fees or pay the time cost of waiting a week and watch ads -- looks like a pricing problem to me!
And now he is the crack dealer of the game industry.
Zalis116 I watch multiple animes. I rather pirate than own multiple streaming services to watch my favorite anime’s.
If that’s the case you’re making for pricing problem, than hell Yeah, it’s a stupid, unnecessary pricing problem that legal companies made for themselves.
If my fansub site started charging 10/month to download their anime, I would still go there rather then pay 6 for CR. Not even considering exclusive licenses.
So why not subscribe to the one that fits your needs the best, and pirate what isn't on it? It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Steam doesn't have all video games, yet people don't go around saying "I refuse to buy any games until they're all in one place."
Generally, licences are a problem for ALL streaming services
Why innovate if we're the only ones with The Office?
Why innovate if we're the only ones with One Piece?
reasons why I pirate
a: free shit is fun
b: the best release of a show will always be the pirated version, subtitles will be better, encode will be better. many times the blu rays & streaming sites will have visual issues, and more experienced encoders will fix the source issue using filters. the typesetting in legal anime is abysmal compared to what some fansubbers can do.
"Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem."
-Gabe Newell
for example in turkey it was pricing problem. i was stop piracing games after stream offer special price for turkish people that have make us buy games with like less than half of the it worth because that is how steam saved us from currency exchance rate problem
I pirate games, but I legit feel bad for it, because I'm poor. I play them on a budget laptop. But I made a promise to myself that I'll buy all of the games I enjoyed, just because it's the right thing to do.
With anime I don't feel bad at all.
EDIT: 2 years later and I got me a gaming laptop (I spent half of the week in a house and the other half in another because of my job, so having a PC is impractical). I bought pretty much all of the games I pirated and beat for the last 10 years.
@@danielbueno8474 yeah good idea because just like you sad i even bought games on stream that i pirated before and not even play them anymore XD
True. If each service can provide what you paying for specifically than you'll buy it. Funimation used to be the go to for dubbed fans and was worth the money until they where barred from having many of the seasonal shows that their service was 'advertised' to be providing ( dubbed anime ). You brought it cos it was more convenient and safe now you avoid it because it's no longer providing the value you place on it.
There’re many options to watch live sports games but still millions of people choose illegal streaming because they don’t want to pay.
Damn, even pornhub has a buffer bar.
Wol f LOL
Wol f PornHub also has anime!
Wol f ironically pornhub is one of the best streaming sites I’ve used, and I don’t even have any sort of account. I guess to be fair the porn industry is fucking huge in America, but I still find it funny. Porn is great.
Pornhub is honestly a great site even aside from the porn. in the years i've been using it i've never had an issue.
Pornhub is actually kinda better than youtube, in some aspects. Heck, youtube even stole the thumbnail gifs (except youtube did it worse).
In my case, I am a teen living in my parents' house and with their financial support. They don't like anime and I don't really have the money to get any of the anime specific streaming platforms so I really have no other option than pirating to wach anime

Me who buys the manga and LNs of almost every anime I like: "Nah, I'm good"
I buy manga box sets, light novels, Japanese video games, and merchandise if it’s an anime series I really love like One Piece, so yes it seems that I somehow the anime/manga industry works more than shills that shill for Funimation and CrunchyRoll.
what confuses me is that when youtubers try to guilt you into "supporting the industry," they always seem to mention the overworked, underpayed animators as if that's supposed to convince you to pay the companies that are overworking and underpaying those animators while clearly not struggling to pay themselves.
Tohob COUGH cough MOST PPL COUGH
+Tohob That's what I was thinking.
It's basically the same reasoning that people apply to arguments about tipping waiters in restaurants. The argument is because they are not paid well. It's not our fault, it's the employers' greed that is thrown at us as a form of blaming.
Unless you work at McDonald's.
McDonald's employees don't keep their tips. It goes straight to the Ronald McDonald house. While I'm a little upset about that, I also can't be at the same time. That goes to children. :I
Yeah but here's the thing tho
It's kind of the law
You know
That thing that prevents you from killing that one guy who bumped into you.
That thing
So you should probably follow it if you don't wanna get a 250,000 dollar fine or spend up to 20 years in prison
Why most people outside of the US don't have a Crunchyroll Account? Because we don't even get 10% of the Content that people in the US get. Here in Germany for example we have no One Piece, no Dragonball, only half of the Naruto Episodes available. So people go to illegal sites. I use a VPN to get all the content but legally that's also a grey area and most people don't know what a VPN is.
Nina Felwitch its starting to look like it’s happening here in the US too, after Crunchyroll and Funimation teamed up almost all of the other streaming services completely dropped most of the anime that Funimation dubs, Netflix is the best example. Crunchyroll and Funimation have raised their prices in the last year or so because of their “exclusive content” and Netflix has been dropping tv shows nonstop that aren’t exclusive and raising prices, despite the fact that the majority of their customers only use their services to binge watch tv shows.
What do you expect from using an American streaming service? Obviously the U.S is going to get more shit
+lilpeoplez
Yup

In some countries, neither of the anime streaming sites are available, here in Argentina, the only way to watch anime is from piracy or the small selection they have on netflix
What's stopping companies that're actually _in_ Germany (AnimeOnDemand?) from picking up those licenses instead? Why are North American businesses obligated to serve the entire globe?
omg, this aged like a 19th century wine.
Finally, someone understands us “poor” weebs and why we use illegal sites
You don’t even have to be poor, you just have to have a working brain
You don't even have to be poor, you only need a common sense
Tbh yeah like why should I have to wait a week for a episode to come out and then another just to watch the episode for free WITH ads, it’s annoying
the main reason i dont get a subscription service is because ALL THE SHOWS I WANT TO WATCH ARE FUCKING REGION BLOCKED
Chyphix like boku no pico
the ones i like are owned by different companies so i would have to get a subscription to ALL THE FUCKING STREAMING SITES INCLUDING NETFLIX AND AMAZON and thats fucking stupid i would be paying like $100= every month just to watch one show on every site.
Why not get the one or two sites that appeal to you the most, and pirate what isn't on them? That'd at least be an improvement, from the industry's perspective, over just pirating everything.
Lookin at you, VRV. Puppycat whyyyy
primewire is your friend my good sir.
I started pirating because the legal sites didn't have uncensored versions of certain anime, like wtf am I paying for if you won't offer the anime in it's original form
Preach brother, for actual funny animes like Monster Girls and Highschool DxD the censoring is so annoying.
they are censored because is the tv aired version. The uncensored ones are on the Blu Rays
NoubyScrub what do you use???
@@somecomicnerd9575 Was using kissanime till they banned me for adblock lol
You wanted the sauce right?
I've always doubted how much I'm supporting the creators of the anime when i use a streaming site
Its like 8 dollars a month and I'll watch like 3 to 8 shows. Crunchyroll takes a cut so how much of that actually goes to the people behind the show.
It’s amazing to realize that things have gotten so much worse since this video came out. The monopolization that has occurred is going to make things like 10+ years ago.
Wouldn't monopolization, i.e. Funimation shutting down and leaving CR with >90% of each season's anime, be a step in the _right_ direction? UNS even says, "A monopoly would be preferable to what we have now."

The studios themselves admit that they don't make money from an anime from streaming, they get money from selling bluerays, since that's where they actually make money. Hell even the blueray is better quality and uncensored.
Uncensored? Are you talking about anime or hentai cause there is a bit of a difference.
@@devilscreation572 I'd assume Anime, because censored anime actually do exist. Tokyo Ghoul is censored on TV/websites and uncensored on DVD/Bluray.
@DevilsCreation Dude anime is censored all the time. Thats literally one of the biggest selling points of blu-ray releases.
Well shit I didn’t know that. You learn something everyday.
@@devilscreation572 Plenty of anime is also censored. But we're not talking about the crotch mosaics you see in hentai. We're talking bout the sunbeams/shadows/steam/whatever that gets done on "normal" anime. There's a lot of hot springs and showers and other such fanservice scenes where the girls are topless in a non-sexual context (at least as far as the story line is concerned!) That kind of stuff tends to get censored (even in Japan) for the TV release -- which is what CR and other sites tend to use as their source material -- but the Bluray edition has the censorship removed (depending on the quality of the show, sometimes that's the main selling point of the Bluray..)
.
That wouldn't even really be _that_ big of a deal if it was done well. But they tend to do it with an overly heavy hand and it starts looking very awkward and out of place. It becomes very noticeable after you've seen a couple of shows in both the censored and uncensored formats.
.
It would be like if HBO decided to re-film a "safe" version of Game of Thrones where the actresses all wear modern day lingerie in the sex scenes. You might not notice at first but once you realize how out of place it is in the setting, suddenly it would be all you can see when one of those scenes come on.

I agree so much, if I want to support a specific series I'll just consider buying It on DvD
Same, especially as I'm in college and can barely even afford one
Well, on one hand, they are immoral due to the way they treat their customers and thus you are equal to them. I guess.
Honestly, I don’t want to pirate and will look to YT first because it’s free and extensive. That said, there are plenty of shows I was interested in but can’t find here, at least not in English dub (fuck you, it’s my preference), so I look elsewhere from time to time, but rarely ever watch what is not on YT.

Here's another idea, not only get rid of streaming rights, but have older anime on the streaming server and also DON'T MAKE THEM REGION LOCKED!!!!
I mean what the heck is the deal with that???
Literally every anime fan who wants to support the industry has that problem. Even though I use Crunchyroll, it doesn't have the shows which are there in Crunchyroll in the first place and thats because of what u said, REGION LOCK !
They can't actually do that because that's the studios decision it's like how Demon Slayer used to be on Japan before the UK
They don’t have a say in that, stop bullying the sites and bully the studios
Piracy will always exist unless the actual sites stop serving a specific part of the anime community. Crunchyroll is just getting worse and worse that's why piracy is getting bigger.
"You need to support the industry!!!" If someone were selling horseshit and donating the money to a charity, would you buy it?

I mean there ARE full anime episodes on pornhub, I jokingly looked up a few a long time ago.... Yea yesterday was quite awhile ago.
Rob D View N yeah I found one too like your, um, friend. Like all the episodes were there. It wasn't full on ecchi or anything either
Jason Bright, is your friend named Soiama Wanqa? Because if so they told me too.
You can stream all of Madoka magica in HD on Porn Hub no lie
I have a Crunchyroll account, but I still pirate. Why? Because three fourths of the anime I want to watch aren't available in my country, since I don't live in the United States.
You can just use a VPN or a Google Chrome Extension to fix that in 5 minutes or less
VPN doesn't work well enough to some people.
just wear an eye patch and have your parrot say I give up and let's pirate it instead.
CR Unblocker, which is kind of a VPN Simulator works perfectly with 99% of systems, it's a Chrome Extension after all, and it's easy to use
That’s assuming this is a computer that is indeed up to date somewhat or even has the right programs for this. Which currently we don’t have a fucking clue. I got a gaming laptop but don’t have all the spectacular to run high end games.
Jacob FoxFires964 Did you just compare a browser plugin to a high end graphics intensive game?
One small nit pick; a lot of the arguments for "supporting the industry" were referring to the anime industry, not the streaming one.
It's the studios that make the anime that needed the money because for a long time their ability to make money was incredibly poor unless it's a huge name like Miyazaki or Mad House.
But you're absolutely correct about the rest of the video, streaming services can and should do better.
Geoff's video on piracy got removed. Yet this stays up. Even youtube supports piracy lol

When I started watching anime, I looked it up online and took the first free option I found. Didn't even think about it being piracy for whatever reason or maybe I didn't care. Nowadays I think "well I would swap over, but getting my entire list converted would be a pain, and apparently official sites don't have every anime anyway, so why bother?"
Why was it taken down for like a year?
Easy features I want from Crunchyroll:
No censorship
No censorship
Buffer bar
No censorship
Wider variety of shows constantly being updated
Featured partnered content creators
No censorship
Show recommendations based on how long you have been watching on the site (I.e. Veterans get veteran shows, newbies get newbie shows), interests, and MAL rankings
Recommended merch on each show page
And of course, no censorship.
I thought of these over the span of ten minutes.
so basically no censorship..?
I can't speak for all shows (mostly because I'm not actually sure which shows you're talking about) but I know that for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - which is the only show on CR I watch with any noticeable amount of censoring - it's completely out of CR's hands.
In order to air the show on the same day it airs in Japan, they need to use the TV edit, which is heavily censored due to Japanese law.
that and a bunch of other things. not to be outdone by no censorship.
I would also like a feature that recommends not only based off genre but also themes and storylines. For example, you liked Dark Souls, maybe you'll like Spec Ops: the Line.
The censorship is due to them getting broadcast versions of the show which have to be censored in certain depending on when it airs by Japanese law. Also if there is an uncensored version that excise it’s usually an exclusive deal with a cable channel in Japan.
Whoa thanks for the shout out bud. Much appreciated and great vid!
I think I laughed more in this than I should've. And I guess I should add my two cents.
So ya. Everything you said I pretty much agree with. People say 'support the industry' but the industry's already been supported by the big corporations paying them big bucks for those exclusive licenses that are indeed hindering the streaming experience. I know some people will say we dont know that for sure without any financial statements or concrete data in your face stating exactly how much the industry has been paid. But take the subtle hints. Digibro just made a vid about how there's too much anime. Thats because the market has grown. You know why the market has grown, because demand has increased. And one of the most basic rules of economics is the laws of supply and demand. If the demand for a product or service goes up, the supply increases in order to keep up with demand. So you saw netflix saying 30 anime titles for next year, thats one platform out of three major ones that are throwing money at the industry to try to corner the market on anime streaming. As you said in the video and the only opinion I tried to convey in mine, was supporting a company or corporation that provides a poor services on the basis that 'it's right' is an easy way to encourage poor business practices and business models in the only market that can legally provide the medium we love.
K its 4 AM, and I work tmrw so I dont really have time to edit this right now. Thanks again though.
*thumbs up* No prob, thanks for the video that prompted me to make this one.
Uniquenameosaurus Alright just finished up my thoughts. It may be an incoherent mess but hopefully it makes sense.
Since you seem to know stuff like this, do you know if legal streaming actually has a moral argument?
IIRC I've heard that most studios earn they money either through dvd-sales or merch, so if you want to support the creators, shouldn't you rather watch fan-subs illegally, then buy dvds or merch as more of that money might go to the creators?
Ah I remember seeing your video. It was very good!
+ITR The thing with physical media (DVDs and such) is that none of the money goes to the creators upon purchasing the item.
I'll be using "StoreMart" as an example store front.
So you see a DVD in your local StoreMart or on StoreMart.com that means that the company (StoreMart) has already purchased some number of DVDs from a distributor, who in turn purchased the rights to distribute the DVD from the Licensor who purchased the the rights to license the DVD from the studio who created the product (or their parent company in most cases).
By the time it comes to you the consumer to purchase the product the creators have already been payed in full and the bill is sitting on the store front. They do not send the creators a check every time they sell a copy of the DVD, that money goes all to them.
What you are trying to do is:
A) Get the storefront to purchase more copies of the DVD. More copies being purchased on the retail end means more money going to the creators overall.
B) Convince the store front that products from the company are a good investment. If the DVD you buy sells a lot of other copies the store front will purchase more of the next DVD in the series hoping the trend will continue.
Things Crunchyroll can do:
1. Get a fucking video player that isn't dogshit
2. Subtitles on dubs
3. Add the entire anime, not just a couple seasons (I pirated One Punch Man Season 2 because Crunchyroll doesn't have it for whatever reason)
4. Better servers so they don't implode whenever a new episode of a really popular anime comes out
Illegal sites already have non-dogshit video players, all seasons of any given anime (since they don't have to pay for licensing rights), and adequate servers. That doesn't change the "why should I pay for what I can get for free?" calculus.
And pirates don't seem to actually care about "subtitles on dubs," since illegal sites not only don't have closed-captioning/dialogue subtitles for dubs, they often omit the signs/songs subtitles that legitimate dubs on legal services and DVD/Blu-Ray _do_ contain.
@@Zalis116 I don’t know what site you watch on but I always find good subtitles. As for song subs, I really don’t care.
Edit: I misread, subtitles on a dub. I don’t really watch dub so I can’t attest
I will refuse to legally watch anime till I die.
The biggest problem i personaly have with Crunchyroll, Netflix and such is the fact how not all countries get to see everything.
Akross
The only way I can think of to bypass this, is to get a VPN that disguises your location.
I'm thinking about trying this myself, cause I am really sick and tired of this bullshit excuse of "Not available in your country".
Not sure why I even bothered getting a Premium CrunchyRoll account when I'm clearly not getting my money's worth.
Dawn Wayfinder you're not getting your money's worth and I'm pretty sure this is against the terms of service and might get your account banned or whatever (at least for Netflix it is). Simply pirating is a hundred times easier, as bad as that might sound
Yusuf Lulluf
How would my account get banned? The VPN, you mean?
Anyway, I've already cancelled my "premium" subscription.
Online region licensing needs to end. The Internet is global, it doesn't have geographical zones. I can't stream a show from Amazon, but I can buy the dvds from them and pay them to ship it halfway across the world. Something is wrong with this picture.
Dawn Wayfinder:
Netflix made it so if you use a VPN on their site, you're account has a red flag.
If you pirate anime from the Caribbean, does that make you a pirate of the Caribbean?

Finally, an excuse to keep doing the same thing I have been doing for years!
Music production companies got the same treatment 20 or so years ago. They offered overpriced products and as soon as people started pirating their products they started crying and talking about ethics like they weren't ripping us off for all those years

Another huge issue is the fact that most streaming services aren't available in places outside of America. Crunchyroll has like five anime available in my region and if I wanted to watch a show that I want then I'd have to use a vpn. In that case, why even bother?
The idea of regionlocking is completley obsolete.
I couldn't agree more
I wanted to watch MHA on Crunchyroll because I am a good boy but no, I just can't, I have to go a site that makes you pay if you want to watch an episode after the week of its release (so it's the opposite of Crunchyroll and much much worst in that aspect)
This is fucking stupid

oops lol missed that last 5 secs, my bad.
utorrent could advertise this
I have Netflix, and if something I want to watch is not on Netflix, I pirate it. Platform exclusivity is anti-competitive, so I don't consider piracy under these circumstances immoral or unethical. If they put their show on Netflix, then they'll get the money, I wouldn't care if the price increased slightly for a larger library - I just don't want to have multiple subscriptions.

Me: watching this video "ah yes some very good points... I hope they introduce these"
also me: realizes this video is from 2017 "its never gonna happen..."
Exclusive licenses really should go away. I mean if every streaming platform could get every series, then it really would be competition of whose site is better. The Japanese companies who sell the licenses would also get money from more streaming sites, not just the one that is willing to buy the license and fans wouldn't have to buy several subscriptions if their favourite anime isn't on the site they subscribed to. No, we could actually base our decision on which site is better for us.
I don't know if it's a good comparison, but I'm more in the favour of buying the anime on disks, because it doesn't matter which publisher gets the rights, because I can play the DVDs on my DVD player anyway. The funny thing is, anime isn't published in my country at all, so I have to tell family members who happen to travel to a country (in my case Germany) that has anime on DVD and they can buy them for me. So not only aren't they in my native language, not only do I have to rely on others to buy them for me, prizes aren't even accurate because we don't use the same currency as the country I'm buying them from so I'm sure I actually pay more then if I'd live in that country. And I still try to get my favourite series on DVD. So I do want to support the official releases and the creators, but it's pretty hard and all of the series tha tI've bought, I checked out on illegal sites first, so they are also a nice way to advertise series.
So yeah, exclusive licenses should die, legal sites should all offer every anime and work on making the sites better and the Japanese companies should work on getting anime into smaller countries as well. I don't see how else this problem can be solved...
Also the heads of the Japanese companies should pay the animators better. I always hear about how they don't get enough payment and stuff like that. This job shouldn't just be done out of passion, they should be able to love from it as well...
No legal site can ever get "every series," even if exclusivity goes away. A lot of older anime are in situations where the video masters are lost/damaged, or the ownership rights are unknown/disputed, and many are just too obscure/unappealing to draw enough views to be profitable. Any legal site that tried to pursue something approaching "every anime" would have to charge more (i.e. an amount greater than one current subscription, which this series would consider "anti-consumer") than they currently do, so that revenue from new/popular series cover the losses from older/money-losing titles. There's no guarantee that Japanese companies would get more money, since distributors aren't going to pay as much for non-exclusive licenses as they would for exclusives -- exclusive licensing comes with bidding wars that increase the amount of money flowing back to Japan. Japanese companies could wind up doing more work (negotiating contracts, approving translations, transferring materials on a weekly basis) for less money if they're dealing with 5 different distributors instead of 1. And even if every service _could_ get every anime, that doesn't mean every service _would_ get every anime, so the cost of getting everything legally could be higher in a non-exclusive regime than it is now.
So even in the absence of exclusivity, the amoral "consumers" that this video cultivates will still decide, "This bootleg site that gives me every anime for free is better for me than any legal site that charges money / makes me watch ads and doesn't have every anime." There is no magical service feature that legal sites can implement, but illegal sites cannot. Even if there were, it wouldn't make that much difference, as most so-called consumers would pick "service 75% as good with a better selection for 0% of the cost" every time.
I know some actual consumers discover anime via illegal means and go on to buy it legitimately, but we saw how an "everyone watches for free, then buys the discs if they really like the series" system worked out in the U.S. in the late 2000s -- it led to a collapse. Piracy became more widespread as illegal streaming on YT became common, anime's online buzz/hype expanded, and convention attendance skyrocketed. But all that additional popularity didn't translate to profitability -- sales plummeted, companies went out of business (turns out "rough times" don't necessarily spur miraculous innovation), and there was a negative effect in the amount of anime produced in Japan, thanks to less licensing money being in the system.
True, animators should be paid better, but they're not going to win any concessions if the industry can barely keep the lights on.
Tbh anime needs a "steam". Like i could pirate a game but steam is just SO much easier and simpler, no dodgy online, achievements, games linked to my profile etc.
There is. It's called Steam. They sell anime now, don't ya know? :^)
*"There is. It's called Steam. They sell anime now, don't ya know? :^)"*
This is still only streaming though. Allowing direct downloads seems to be more like what the OP is talking about. Allowing direct downloads would cut into piracies market share.
UndeadPorcupine they dont have a large selection tho~😓
There is always VRV which includes funimation and Crunchyroll subscription and a few more for as much as you'd pay for one.
Yeah, it needs a Steam that isn't Steam.
Pirated sites:
- free
- has all anime of the season
- get's all anime subbed withing 24h after japanese release
- advertisements
- run by people who loved anime since years
- aviable in all countries
Paid sites:
- you pay
- has only some of the anime of the season
- there is a delay in subbing or flat out the whole anime is released at once after the season is done...
- advertisements, but kinda less
- run by companies who did something else and now plan to milk the money out of anime
- not aviable in my country
Honestly even the moral argument is bad...
Bootleg streaming sites only get anime subbed within 24 hours of the Japanese release because they're re-encoding rips of legal streams. Yes, some sites like Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu are moving into the anime scene from outside, but CR, Funimation, and Hidive (an ADV/Sentai spinoff) have been anime-focused companies since their inception. If you're dissatisfied with North American companies providing insufficient service in your country, then maybe some company that's actually _in_ your country needs to pick up those licenses, assuming there's a viable paying audience present.
Viorp man that is one of the dumbest straw man arguments I have seen.
It's not. That's how capitalism works. If you want me to pay for your product, give me a product which is better than something that is free.
The thing that bugs me the most is that you have to pay to support the corporate privatization of anime translation rather than support the creators themselves. The "industry" of licensed anime providers was never needed and they just try to make money that benefits them rather than support the content itself. Some of the money goes into the Japanese content creators pockets, but the vast majority goes to supporting a terrible system that goes against fans. When they notice that fans like a product that is being translated they give the Cease and Desist letter to the Translators, that are usually not receiving any money, and give a inferior translation that comes out much later when your interest in a series has waned. YenPress and Cruchyroll are both very guilty of this. If they want my traffic they need a better business model. My personal recommendation for companies would be to have online translators work with a business in an easily accessible manner that is not overpriced. They would never do that though since their current model is giving them a profit.
TLDR; The "industry" doesn't deserve a dime. I love capitalism, but when I have a better alternative to your crap I will go with that. The moral argument isn't really moral unless there exists better competition.
Viorp let me like a list of your claims and that I feel are horrible examples and refute them in the style of your argument.
Pirated sites:
- free: Meaning that the creators get no money when you watch it there
- get's all anime subbed withing 24h after japanese release: Because they either steal it from crunchyroll or someone does it in their free time.
- advertisements: Yeah those horrible rabbithole clickbait ads the consume all of your bandwidth and ram which makes your watching experience horrible without an adblock.
- run by people who loved anime since years: True with torrenting but not true with streaming sites. Free anime streaming sites only care about ad money hence all the ads and they care far far less about you than anyone at crunchyroll. Hell they barley have any server cost because most of the videos a streamed through different sources.
- aviable in all countries- mostly true.
Paid sites:
- you pay: The creators get money yay
-- there is a delay in subbing or flat out the whole anime is released at once after the season is done: It takes time to sub something and you know that.
- run by companies who did something else and now plan to milk the money out of anime- yeah basically like free streaming sites except these sites actually give money to the anime industry
- not aviable in my country- you can use a vpn but it will take a lot of bandwidth
IM A PIRATE I HATE STREAMING SERVICES I BELIEVE IN FREEDOM.
Where do you think the subtitles on your favorite pirate streaming sites come from?
Spoilers: For new/airing anime, they come from whatever hated legal site is streaming the anime in question. Legal sites shut down because everyone's pirating = supply of adequate/same-day translations dries up. Your "freedom" is contingent on the existence of enough moralist "suckers" who pay for anime in defiance of UNS' edicts.
@@Zalis116 They're translated by fans (obviously) which is why they differ depending on what site you use. Shocking huh? We also get to pick which group our subs come from. Keep trying.
@@edcaous It must be nice to live in 2007 like you apparently do. Fansubs, as in subtitles translated from scratch by fans, don't exist for anything that gets same-day legal subs. At most, you might get fan-edited versions of those legal subs... which may be better, or they may have things like PogChamp emotes added to them. Either way, the current-day anime piracy scene is almost entirely dependent on translations stolen from legal sites. You may find that to be an inconvenient truth, but that doesn't make it any less true.
This is still so relevant. Also, I remember watching a yt video about how the increase in anime popularity has caused a lot of stress on the studios that keep churning out new anime to satisfy the demand. People in Japan are already overworked and underpaid. Will paying a big corp like Crunchroll/Funimation help them? Probably not
Its sad that 2 years later this still pretty much stands
And this applies to ALL entertainment media involving exclusive licensing, now more than ever. With the entirety of the movie and TV industry sliced up like it is, there is no way for someone to access the content they want, without subscribing to several services. I'd really like to see a broader video on that, because its a fucking disaster. Platforms literally only differ in terms of what shows they have, not how high the quality of service is. The content is not the service, and so to compete using the content not the service, is not just wrong, its more, way more than wrong. As it stands now, the only thing standing in front of EVERYONE in the visual media space making an absolute killing, is the market being split up like it is. If every platform, from Netflix to Amazon, from Crunchyroll to Anime Strike or what the hell ever the current equivalent was, carried ALL the content appropriate to that platform, and the only choice was where to watch it, EVERY show would get more views and if the licenses were worked out properly, not exclusively, then every view would result in financial gain for the studios, actors, voice actors, special effects artists, illustrators, directors and everyone else involved in actually making the shows we want to watch, because there would be a greater number of eyeballs with access to the content in question. Its a no brainer, a win win. With things as they are, platforms limit the access to the content they purchase control over, limiting how successful each IP can be while under their ownership or licensed control, and that is demonstrably bad for those IPs and the potential viewers. How do I know? If I could watch The Boys on the platform I am actually subscribed to, I would. I can't, so I won't. If I could watch The Mandalorian on a service I am already subscribed to, I would. It isn't, so I won't. The same thing applies to anime content. If the creators want bums in seats and eyes glued to screens, they need to stop handing out exclusive licenses to distributors, and only offer non exclusive agreements to prospective distributors, it really is that simple.

If it wasn't for those sites where you can watch anime for free. Then anime wouldn't have been this popular as it is today.
What good does that popularity do if it's only benefiting those who run bootleg streaming sites?
The anime industry is still going to benefit making anime whether you're supporting them through paying to watch their series online or not. It doesn't need us. Like he explained in the video. It's a massive industry. Which is why we see anime just increasing. If I wasn't correct then there wouldn't have been allot of anime been produced since those "bootleg streaming sites" were created until now, as you see now. Instead, we would see allot less anime made because of it. But no that isn't the case.
You'd better hope Japanese anime fans don't watch this video, then. They don't have a service that's as cheap or comprehensive as KA, yet they pay far more than we do.
@@Zalis116 at least they have access to all the anime they want to watch and not being denied due to licensing issues
@@Zalis116 Well, if the bootleg site is the perfect streaming site, then why not buy the site and pay the people who made the site? Obviously they did a better job and they can get around using only ad-revenue. There are a lot of streaming sites that have 1 downside: ads. Buying the site, would remove the ads and pretty much have a perfectly streaming site.
Exclusivity is killing the anime and gaming industries. Someone always loses.
8:13 I'm surprised exclusive licenses aren't considered monopoly, but all of the big techs are monopolies too, so I can see why dragon ball isn't on netflix.
As someone who started watching anime back when "fansub" meant a bootleg VHS with yellow translation text, I think it's funny that people seem to have forgotten how expensive and unavailable anime used to be. The reality is that in the 90's and for a part the 00's certain anime were just totally unavailable unless you pirated. This was also during a time when actual licensed anime was released overseas at insane costs (anyone who disagrees should be pointed to the MSRP $200 Trigun box set from 2001 that I own).
What's happened to anime is pretty similar to what happened to the music industry. Years of overcharging the consumer have backfired as a result of instant availability.
Nowadays a box set is $30 roughly but kids these days have no clue how bad it used to be.
luchaclone57 unlike music, movie/anime/tv show industry has one huge issue. Region lock. I have a netflix account and crunchyroll and i dont get half of their shows. Why? Because i live in certain spot on the globe and somebody here, who doesnt even use it, have a license for those show, probably in bad dub in which i am not interested. Unless we get service on the level of spotify or apple music, this industry will be shit
luchaclone57 in Australia for a 1-97 box set for one piece its 200$ thats 2$ a ep what a rip
Believe it or not region locking is in everything...
UA-cam has region locking, iTunes has region locking, Spotify has region locking. It's just not quite as abhorrent as Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon.
I mean shit, you could buy a DVD box set and not have it work in your country because of region locking.
umm, but in One Piece case, it is quantity over quality. Old One Piece was fine but as it progressed the pacing became worse and then time skip the animation and art got worse. Literally, those 97episodes could be condensed to 40-60 episodes and make no difference. Past one piece at least 1st arc was 2 chapters per episode but they stop that long time ago. You rather buy the box set for one piece that cost about 150-160 Aud in bookdespoitory while covering two huge arcs East Blue and Alabasta that contains 23volumes. Also with that 200 dollars, only 1 big arc is cover and some small arcs. I think the jojo is a good example on how to do it, you have a complete story by buying it in a reasonable price plus the blue ray improves the art and animation of the actual content.
Yeah I really don't miss those days.
Some box sets for the series I own I paid 150-200+ for. This is just for a 25 episode shows. Some box sets were 8 episodes for 60+. Also used to get them from Canada from all places bootleg.
Wait a second... Was this Pewdiepies new Crunchyroll sponsorship?
Yes, dont forget to suscribe to Keemstar while you are it
Mmm funny jok
Wormy Nice meme.
OMG that was literally the first thing I thought of when I saw it!
vince94 grumps Yoda ha
Red like roses part 2 playing on your vid, cool
On the point of clip watching, I'e been recently pirating Jujutsu Kaisen, but when I go on youtube I see a clip or two from the most recent episode and I fucking love it. I don't know about the actual site, but cross platform innovation is an option I didn't think about when I watched this video.
Crunchyroll users tell me if it's improved at all
Piracy is pretty much the reason spotify exists tbh.
WinkingBaby and it worked, spotify is godlike + you can find anything
Except Spotify only exists in select countries
Yeah, it's still available in a ton of countries though. Just pirate your music if you can't get it in your country lol.
@Ser actually no you can't. There are Bands I listen to where tons of Albums are missing.
Artist/Labels "upload" their songs themselves, not spotify's fault
