ninkendo 10/30/20 9:00:11 AM #5:	you won't be finding any hentai on crunchyroll, but there's certainly series with more ecchi content in it.

ChichiriMuyo 10/30/20 9:10:29 AM #9:	I don't for a second believe CR is worth that much (95% of their users are not paid subscribers), but Sony has enough synergy to make it so. It does make me wonder if they plan on it evolving it beyond anime, though. --- Congrats Azuarc <cite>ChichiriMuyo posted [p:946491966] in Sony buys ...

MawiIe 10/30/20 9:37:26 AM #12:	This could be good, crunchyroll is cheap but janky. There's been many times I've been willing to pay more for a crunchyroll that works even fairly good with a palatable browsing system and search function. That said this is the company that brought us crackle and the ps store so my hopes are not particularly high, --- SantaRPG: Turning "i"s into "l"s since 2008! https://imgur.com/c9koh <cite>MawiIe posted [p:946492692] in Sony buys ...

I don't think there's room right now in this market for anime focused services to be competing with eachother while Netflix is is buying ~~and fucking up the release of~~ anime series left and right. --- ACAB <cite>UshiromiyaEva posted [p:946493297] in Sony buys ...

Kinglicious 10/30/20 10:16:34 AM #14:	It makes sense for them if they want to continue PlayStation Now as a model featuring movies, games, and anime. Plus to a lesser extent but it's an option to give it more value as an entertainment subscription, especially compared to game pass. --- The King Wang. Listen up Urinal Cake.
