>>159449696
Netflix doesn't release episodes 1 at a time. If they buy exclusive rights to an anime there won't be any translations to rip until they release the whole thing at once at the end of the season.

>>159450954
jesus dude I guess I didn't realize they actually stop you from pirating. I just thought the consequences were harsh. Is it just your ISP or is everyone's all fuckered?

>>159450954

>>159450954
wait, how did japs managed to torrent in Japan on a japanese IP then?

I appreciate Netflix for funding some decent stuff, but outside of that there is no reason to support pretty much any American anime company. None of them contribute a significant amount of money through licensing fees. You want to support a studio or author directly, go buy their merch

>>159451109
That's only because fansubbing is dead and 99% of all anime sub releases are just ripping official streams. It's a fucking joke.

CR was generally of higher quality, so much so fansubbing was basically taking CR scripts and editing them. Either with memes/liberalization(commie) or making small fixes and adding honorifics.

Even mangastream gets a chapter completely right now and then but they're generally shit.

you don't know how anime is made obviously.

>>159453498
They give money to the studio unlike CR or Funi.
Plus, they don't release the show till the quarter is over so it gives fansubbers something to sub.

>>159453552
Do you even know what role a production committee plays?

>>159453582
investments by people interested in profiting from the success of the series. corporate giants like netflix who have nothing to lose harm this process.

What is NOT being subbed by horriblesubs...?

>>159453578
They give the lowest amount needed to the studio. Once it's released the studio has to play the guessing game if anyone liked it or not since no one reviews shit on netflix.
Season 2's of animes will be scarce as fuck. God forbid they buy out the rights to the big 5.

>>159453570

I told you not to do this. Go be a little bitch somewhere else

>>159453578
netflix will only leech on the industry, investing <20% of what they determine their profit margin is from anime funding. they are too big to be negatively impacted, and won't invest themselves in the quality of a series.

>>159453717
>and Netflix has produced some decent anime.

It's that or anime becomes all about the Chinese int eh future. Personally I'd rather we get more LWAs than the shit the chinks like

>>159453786
>They fund shows, studios can less rely on bd
I am literally arguing that this is the problem. when studios rely on BD, they have to maintain a level of quality.

>>159453776
So UTW for fate and RH for kake. Really not a big deal at all.

>>159453789

>>159451259
Why do you faggots want fansubbing back? This is faster, and guarantees more subs are getting subbed.

And you can't complain about quality because the same faggots getting paid by CR to do this shit are the same ones who were fansubbing years ago. And they're not interested in going back to a no-pay system so they're not going to do shit if things do fall apart.

>>159453849
Studios don't rely on BD sales because they get paid by contract. Also, if they were really concerned about quality (just in the industry in general), they wouldn't be working on episodes two weeks before they air.

>>159453717
>More options is always better
I prefer quality over quantity. anime was better in the 00s. we had less series, but better series. quality control has been slipping dramatically for years. the last thing that will help is a corporate giant releasing mcanime after mcanime.

>>159451109
They do this cause they dub in like 5 extra languages. It's unnecessary but im sure really appreciated and helps boost the shows viewer ship by a larger amount than you would expect

>>159453901
Sucks though because it seems like Kakegurui is pretty fun

>>159453920
>studios rely on BD
>but not when it doesn't suit my argument
???

>>159453849
Or they can fuck up to the point it looks(might as well be) intentional when shit air. And then excuse "will be fixed in bd!"
Treating air like a fucking ad. Though most of anime is already some sort of ad to LNs or games. If netflix start fund things we might get more original and better shit.

>>159453926

But yeah, it's looking that way. We're all overreacting right now but the hysteria is based on some consistent trends. It may very well become as bad as we're predicting within five years from now.

I kind of wish HS never happened. It would have preserved fansubs and we would have been better prepared for what's about to happen in the coming decade.
As it stands now we're really going to have to adapt a little if we want to keep watching autistic chinese cartoons (without knowing japanese).

On the other hand, having a huge wall of 'learn japanese' might re-shrink the demographic and reduce the western market for anything but the simulcast content.

The best part about Amazon's Anime STRIKE is that they never release on time.

while I agree with you, CG has done nothing over the last decade but cause a steady decline of visual quality in anime. paired with less cell and background work and lower average framerate from the previous decade, it's totaled out into catastrophe.

nice try, but I watched literally all of those other than hero(it's for ten year olds) and know you are full of shit. none of these stack up to lucky star or haruhi. granblue is pretty but is traced CG. don't even know where you come off mentioning EMS with it's constantly re-used backgrounds and cells, R:C with it's 10 minute mouth animations and alice with it's CG and animation errors.

the question is animation quality, which lucky star's is great. though yes, lucky star is incredible. it's also a classic "how-to-spot-a-pleb" anime because people new to the medium typically hate it.

Why does everyone hate crunchyroll?

>>159454694
There's a huge difference between a physical copy and a copy stored on a server that only exists on the whims of a publisher.

DVD player software is also legally free for anyone to replicate.

>>159454810
I'm not saying you can't comment on it, bro. I'm saying that the CG tools being used today aren't the same as the ones we were using 20 years ago, so talking about what we're seeing now as a new thing for the industry to get used to using and for audiences to get used to seeing is valid. Follow this line of replies back up, figure out the context of the conversation before you continue.

Why does everyone hate everything?

>>159454851
Little bit more complicated than that, reason why DVD playback comes in OS X and windows is because they pay for it.

I get it, you're a fucking idiot wasting your time learning how to make garbage.

>>159454830
Dude, Lucky Star is the epitome of what happens when new tech comes out and people have absolutely no idea how to use it. It's innovative, but it's also horrible. The animation quality does not even remotely stack up today, and the jokes were always garbage in-jokes which age terribly.

>>159454849
Because they're newfags who don't remember what it was like before Crunchyroll came to power.

>>159454988
I'm starting to wonder if you're mixing it up with Nichijou, because nothing I'm saying should be controversial

>>159454867
i'm not your bro

CG is shit. I don't care how well it will look in the future it looks shit now and is used too much.

What is pissing me off is there is WAY TOO MANY STREAMING SITES that you need to pay to watch. and it's getting out of hand like steam, origin and uplay... it's like everyone wants a piece of the fucking anime scene here. ugh annoying as fuck. thank god I buy my shit on blu-ray if it's worth it.

>>159454941
This
People don't remember, or simply have no idea, what it was having to wait for a sub, because the group hadn't finished the fucking karaoke.

Also, people bitch about gg or Commie memes, but older fansubs were bad, whilst not trying to be bad.

>>159454115
Funi has shounenshit series that sell like crazy they aren't pushovers, they will merge or buy out CR eventually and amazon or netflix will fall off.

>>159448857
Amazon does simulcasts I thought? Only Netflix is complete shit.

>>159455026
nichijou has incredible animation. lucky star just has animation that surpassed today's, with smooth framerate and original cell-work in every scene. you bringing up nichijou irrelevantly only further reinforces your opinions are recycled from what you've read here and not watching anime itself.

>>159454941

It was so bad back in the day there were anons who thought commie's liberal memesubs were better.

>>159454830
Lucky Star is legitimately bad though. It also served as signal for the end times. People like you probably think Euphonium is amazing.

>>159454988
>oh, no, you're just spewing anecdotes you heard here. try watching the series.
Not that guy, but are you being serious?
LS contains many references to anime that were airing at the time.
If you're not familiar with those, plenty of the jokes will fall flat.

>>159455058
Nah, you're full of shit. Even the newest of fags is likely to have encountered waiting for subs. Last season we had Asenshi and this season we have commie. To think the only people that don't want CR are new is a joke. It's more accurate to say only impatient fags want HS/CR.

>>159455083
OK dude, keep making false assumptions instead of arguments

>>159455094
dude overtime you will pay way more money to watch a few shows then owning it on Blu-ray and DVD, Don't give me this Jew shit. do the math and episode per week and multiple accounts if needed to watch crap from 3 or 4 different sites over time. it gets bad you just don't know yet...

It's going to get worse when piracy becomes impossible because no group wants to get v&'d.

Keep dreaming, Mr. Shekelberg

>>159455150
Dude, fansubs only account for a small fraction of anime these days, and they don't even do the most popular works, since those are likely licensed.

The newest of fags, at worst, have had to wait for 1 show per season. Back then it was like that for all the shows, and sometimes some shows were picked by fucking no one.

>>159455043
In total it's $21 a month if you exclude Amazon, $26 if you can pay for just Anime Strike, and $26 + $100 if you have to pay for Prime to use Strike. It's only really four sites, and you can probably just pay for CR and something else and get the majority of shows licensed.

>>159455279

Yeah, it's all just illusion we are in 1984.

Do you even need to have Amazon Prime to subscribe to their anime strike thing?

>>159455371
I am basically language retarded. I did moon in school and it was the only class I wasn't getting A-Bs in. In fact, I got Ds

>>159455348
Shows that pretty much no one cares about.

You would have been lucky to have stuff like, say, ACCA to get subs, 10 years ago.

>>159455372
Torrenting is not illegal and will never be made illegal, it's just file sharing and has legitimate purpose
The other two things you listed are pure fantasy

>>159454596
>The spanish subs were perfect
I agree. A lot of times they're better.

>>159455205
It never occurs like that. Think waxing and waning. There's always someone who wants to cut in on the industry and has the know-how to do so.

Torrents should have been abolished already, honestly. They're too open and weak. If you use torrents for anything other than files that you can't find anywhere else, you're stupid.

>>159455080
yes but there service is expensive as fuck on a per year basis since Anime Strike is an added deal for those that already pay for a regular Amazon account. So if you want it for just anime you have to pay for additional services you don't care about.

>>159455320

shitty thing is it adds up over time and it's painful. plus in canada my god man try doubling that up almost and that is what we pay so a lot of us here just stream shows on random sites to see if it's good and buy it when it comes out to support the creators and own a physical copy of the show. but I guess not everyone is like that now due to streaming age of media.

Digital piracy is illegal and governments like the UK want to make a new Internet where it's impossible to do anything without the government knowing it. Often ISPs will assume that using torrents is all for piracy and will just block them all.

>>159455398
I don't think so.
A t least, even if you've got Prime, you still have to pay for a Anime Strike subscription.

>>159455119
They were better back then though, thats the thing.
CR was just getting started and their subs were not the best because of this. On the other hand, Commie hadn't gone full retard mode yet because not as many people were complaining about their memesubs and apparently, they find people complaining about their subs absolutely hilarious so they've just been increasing the memes over the years.

No where near to the degree it used to happen.

You used to have six groups shitting out half-assed guess subs for shows like SNK because only the group that got it out fast mattered, while one group chugged along slowly barely working on the lesser known shows.

>>159454588

>>159455324
Spoilerfags are some of the worst posters on this board. It's a bunch of underage third worlders screaming about machine translated Korean raws.

A bunch of people watch a show they don't understand and then scream about scenes they don't understand.

I don't want to support a fucking studio or an author. I want a continuation of the anime. Studios can be replaced. The ones who finance the anime are the important people who need to be persuaded with money that it's worthwhile to still make a sequel to the anime show.
Studios can all burn and crash for all anyone cares. All animators can die. There will always be new otaku scum who can be exploited and tricked into replacing them.

>>159457012
Merch is still a better tactic, American licensing adds very little to the anime industry

>>159457012
Not really, good animators are a dying breed. Outside of Sunrise who hoards a few and Kyoani, no one is hiring and training young guys how to animate. They just outsource and then hire shit like studio orange.

>>159457012
There are going to be less replacements for these people because of the declining birth-rate and the fact the burn-out rate for people trying to stay in the animator industry is huge.

I'm glad that fansubs are dead.

>>159457049
That might have been true ten-fifteen years ago but as it stands now licensing to Americans does matter.

DRRR's second season was seen as a success because of American licensing if I'm not mistaken. The author said something about it recently. Shows are able to stay more relevant over a longer period of time here and that's leading to shows gaining more money in the long run. That's why there are shows now specifically getting second seasons and revivals due to success in the states.

>>159456329
That's a meme, though. Unironic, but only by a small percentage.

>>159457320
No, America is still a very small contributor. China is a much bigger contributor

>>159457166
Based studios doing a favor to Japan by letting otaku shit die from overwork or making them drop out of this whole business through subhuman pay, just like they deserve.

>>159457012
Studios are the ones who take on the series rights and make anime, your shitty producers don't care about sequels except for a few money makers.

>>159457163
There's still too many studios and too many animators around, most of them being kept alive by middle tier studios who subcontract shit to them out of misguided obligation.
It's the whole company takes care of each of its sarariman-employee thing, just with anime studios helping out smaller anime studios that spawned out from them.

>>159457627
Then the studio better start paying a sequel to the flop they produced in the first place because of their ineptitude in time and human resource management.

>>159456943
Yes because it's fun to see fansubs threads implode like crazy

Could be worse. Imagine being someone who buys shit he doesn't even want just to support some slave company that is being hired by corporate jews, and none of that money goes to the slave company in the first place.
And then doing this for years and years and years, despite being told that the useless crap they buy doesn't translate into more direct money for the slaves.

It's great to be a producer. There's a bunch of dumb sweethearts who want to help a bunch of starving animators, and they've all been tricked into buying shit, and yet, the dumb customers still believe that they can help starving animators with their money through the acquisition of worthless crap.

This is because Amazon is trying to be everything and not just a streaming service like Netflix. They wanna do groceries, do cloud service, etc, etc

Meanwhile, Netflix isn't planning to buy Whole Foods and just streams content.

Yeah, keep giving your money to them and get literally nothing in return like a good goy.

Why would I do anything? Are you that retarded? I think you are. You obviously don't care about anime.

Of course I don't care about anime, you dire mongoloid. I only care about specific anime shows.

Isn't it $5 a month? That's not really expensive.

It is very expensive for the latin-americans and south-east asians dorks who make up the majority of /a/.

Oh I see, I pay monthly for mmos so I see $5 a month as pretty cheap.

I have Prime, but the double barrier of entry leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'd rather wait for fansubs than give Amazon any more money.

There are cases where they released an episode per week. The third season of From Dusk Til Dawn, for instance.

The chances of Amazon getting an antitrust suit are growing every year.

Either google or amazon gets squeezed by the federal government just like what happened to microsoft.

They are gonna get grilled like Bill Gates did.

Compare it to the value Netflix gives you for $8 a month.

>>159459363
Casual, you don't understand the industry.

Everything is included in your prime account. There's no monthly fee. Just checked.

>>159459368
You need Prime.
So, you pay $5 each month for AnimeStrike, on top of the yearly $100 for Prime.
That makes it $160 a year.

Not THAT expensive, but much more expensive than the other options (CR and Netlflix).

Even with Prime you still need the $5 subscription

You'd get more from Amazon at least in my case I would since I use twitch prime and amazon prime also has tv shows and movies.
