why did they do that on one of their cheese podcasts?

Also to any financial /a/nons, Is there a way to find out the CR company spending or finance record for free?

Probably not. It's a private company.

Crunchyroll, Inc. and Sumitomo Corporation to Create Anime Investment Joint Venture
Oct 22 15

"Crunchyroll, Inc. and Sumitomo Corporation announced a new joint venture to produce animation for the international market. At the core of this strategic partnership is a joint venture for investing in new anime productions, which will be distributed by Crunchyroll to a global audience."

I think I taste a little vomit from reading that.

>>136055047
Hmm interesting.

I wish someone would do more digging on to CR similar to what 'dangerousanalysis" did with the whole doublefine bs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFX0f_YUn1I

I swear CR is probably covering up the facts that they're giving substantially less to production committees and reaping the rewards like a pyramid schemes.

>>136054648
NBC aired 30 Rock which was all about shitting on NBC.

>>136055309
Welp I found something.

>/a/ still thinks a CR subscription doesn't help the industry

Get fucking rekt nerds.

Can and what happens when a private company keep selling of equity periodically as the company gets bigger?

>They keep the largest cut
>They are destroying the anime industry by not letting independent anime studios take all the profit and starting their own studios in the west

>>136055892
it doesn't its just another middle man that is getting in the way. Westerners can only help the industry by buying the BD's straight from japan or from importers.

>>136056245
Yeah true, too bad the mindless masses will try and support CR and funi to allow the japanese to continuing making underwhelming adaptations.

>>136056361
At least the show that Funi is funding this season ended up pretty decent.

>>136056036
MotherFuck there werent any public equity exchanges so they didn't have to file public information about the company's spending.

>>136056245
I know this is crazy but it's possible for multiple companies to profit off of a financial exchange at once. But hey let's not buy BDs because the store gets a cut either.

CR sucks dicks but when you say dumb shit it just gives people a reason to ignore or defy you.

anyone know if a show licensed in america can have multiple licencees.

Eg. Show A was licensed by funi,hulu and CR.

Can and has that happened before?

Or is it up to the production committee to decide that?

>>136056577
The only thing I found.

$500M Last Round in 2014, Acquired for $100M in 2013, $750K Series A in 2010, $4.1M Series A in 2008

>>136056245
you fuckin idiot, as long you buy BD the higher up doesnt give a fuck of streaming and will squash pirated subbing.
they are fuckin fossil in their decaying office, no matter how much baka gaijin buy japan BD they still think its FROM the japan sales, not outside. The only way to show non-gaijin want to support anime is by paying for legal stream because they japs are fuckin moron on progress

>>136056845
They tend to make deals. For example, when both Funi and CR license a show, Funi ALWAYS wins (or pays more) and gets to simulcast that show while CR "simul"casts it a few days later.

That's just an example, I suppose there could be other things. Also, CR, Funi or Hulu are some of the biggest and only ones who stream shows a few hours after they aired in Japan. There are a lot of small legal streaming sites who are only allowed to stream them like a day later.

>>136057017
>$500M Last Round in 2014
Wait are you saying crunchyroll had that much money at one point?

Whenever I see "Crunchy is bullshit, import BDs if you want to support anime" it strikes me as the anime equivalent of people talking about the benefits of bitcoin. I don't know how true any of it is, and I don't really care, but there's an air of contrarian "DON'T TRUST _____" stank that makes me dubious.

>>136057039
So I guess if someone independent had the money they could essentially compete as well and licenses a show.

>>136057100

There's also Aniplex who likes to put some of their shows on multiple services.

>>136054096

>>136055511
You gonna share this info, anon?

>>136057161
Judging by
>>136057173
It's all ran by chinks. Can you truly trust the chinks?

>>136057173
It's always about money but of course you need some ground. I doubt a publisher will give you the video and scripts if you can't meet minimum requirements.

>>136057196
This is a different matter but yes, unlike what everybody believes CR hardly translates anything, they get a video and a translated script from the publisher and they just have to upload it and make it available for the users at the right time. Aniplex, King Records, Pony Canyon or Toho are some of the companies that do this.
Aniplex is well known for having terrible subs (poor translations, poor English grammar, absolute zero typesetting) but they also have the highest video quality available until the BDs come out so there's at least that.

>>136057161
It's sort of like with music. BDs are like buying the album: it's the most direct way to get money to the creators, the studios. Streaming on CrunchyRoll is like when people stream music and the creators basically get pennies for your views.

>unlike what everybody believes CR hardly translates anything
So that means that all the memes that CR loves to spout aren't from CR, how the fuck else would use the word normie otherwise?

>>136058404
It's almost like memes are popular or something.

>>136058404
CR hires third parties on a per series basis. It isn't hard to find a memer online.

>>136057587
Interesting any sources out there to comfirm this?

Like is there a way to track the down the company sector or individuals responsible for the subbing. I know that crunchyroll probably does do their own subbing but not all, depends on the show.

>>136058404
>memes that CR loves to spout

That would be commie subs

>>136057923

When will they go bankrupt?

>>136057161
I still don't get how bitcoin works

>>136056845
All of the simulcasters probably want exclusive deals as often as they can make them. Especially Funimation, considering that the quality of their service is absolutely abysmal compared to Crunchyroll.

>>136058551
Ahh okay.


Anyone know what's happening with daisuki?
Are they still relevant?
Or is it just CR and funi monopolizing the industry until netflix takes a piece of the action.


>>136058608

Only now they're going to address the issues with their videos. What a joke of a company.

>>136058716
Daisuki is hulu I believe. I don't know how they decide series or how they get them but they've been decent.

>>136058765
Wait, are they seriously going to improve their service? Color me shocked if that's the case.

>>136058784
Daisuki isn't hulu m8.

>>136058791
It's not going to change much though, however I like the fact funi is getting more involved with anime production side of thing.
Eg. On the Production Committee for Dimension W

Too bad Crunchyroll with use their financial might to crunch ..... I mean crush the competition with their new joint venture company created for anime production and investment.

THUS the monopoly continues.

>>136056245
If it doesn't, why does CR keep getting licenses for half the season every season?

>>136058981
Holy shit. Funimation making improvements.

If they fix the video quality and add softsubs, the only issue will be the quality of their scripts.

>>136057648
>BDs are like buying the album: it's the most direct way to get money to the creators, the studios
Pretty sure studios are contracted and paid that way, so money from BD sales isn't necessarily going to them

>>136058964
Spread investments and the Japanese were to pussy to market the their anime via streaming themselves till as of late.

The more show they have to offer CR garner more views and subscriptions as a whole.

That way as for the past i think 3 years now that Funi has been more aggressive with their licensing.

>>136057923
>500M Last Round in 2014
If that means they are evaluated at 500 Million in 2014.

Well shit.

They should of just directly funded anime.

>>136059131
You know there have been streaming sites in Japan for years, right?

>>136059322
Yeah but not as aggressive to generate revenue like CR, funi or bilibili. To my knowledge.

I don't think there's a way to track all the publishers or the translators down unless you buy a localized BD and check the credits but that'd be months or years after an anime aired.
However, you can just check which publisher is in charge of what show and you'll have an idea of what kind of subs you're going to get. I'll use Aniplex as example for being the most notorious due to the high amount of anime they produce:
Aniplex's simulcasts have:
- Great video quality, better than any other publisher and TV stations.
- No typesetting at all. 95% of it is \an8'd and they don't use colors (while other publishers -try- to match the position or colors of the signs Aniplex doesn't, probably because they use an old ass software? I don't know).
- Minimal use of honorifics, removed or localized, they only leave them in when there's no choice or they carry an important meaning to the characters.
- Western name order.
- The overall quality of the subs tends to be really bad and it looks like it's getting worse by the years.

>>136058737
probably practical
currency needs backing unless it's a material good that has inherent value without any backing
I'm not really sure why it has value either, besides a few morons that decide to accept bitcoin payment
