Shouldn't take 14 minutes to point out shitty subtitles, bad video quality, and a player that loves to freeze/skip all day

Crunchyroll is hilariously bad. The fact you need to get an unofficial browser addon just to make the player at least functional is pathetic.

I haven't been to Crunchyroll in a long time, but I don't recall downloading anything to make the videos run on my browser.

I can't imagine being this shook about a fucking show that you don't have to watch.

I don't like Adam Sandler movies, I don't bitch and whine and point out flaws in Netflix over their deal with him....I just don't watch it...

Crunchyroll doesn't actually support the industry. It would be more beneficial to buy official merch since the money would make it back the studios and production committees.

Which has nothing to do with watching the product...which is why you would pay for their service

Licensing makes it back to the committees. And licensing is the lion's share of how streaming services support the industry. Now if you want your specific money to go to the specific productions you like, then yes, physical media/merch is still the best use of your cash.

I don't really plan on it since I don't expect them to be very good. But the sort of trash he's talking about is the quick low-effort show that basically only exists to get crunchyroll licensing money, which definitely none of these are

tbh I'm not sure the trash he describes really does exist, he feels like he's got some weird conspiracy theory thing going on

LMAO, he starts shilling crypto so hard randomly in there. Man that was sad. I say that as someone who actually made money off crypto in the past, so I'm not just a hater.

I don't have a problem with Crunchyroll. It's free. It works with my PS4 and Roku player. What more do you want? Truthfully I've only ever watched like two episodes of Sailor Moon, half of Digimon Tamers, and about five episodes of Galaxy Express 999 on it. So it's not like my most used app. But it's not like Netflix is going to carry Galaxy Express from the 1970s. So that video can shove it.
