How do you feel about Crunchyroll? Is streaming still a meme?

"A meme" is not a synonym for shitty. But streaming sucks, whatever site you use. Lurk more.

normalfag enabling garbage, just like netflix.

>>160582286
If you have good internet you have even more reasons to download instead of stream. But thanks for that smiley, now I know you're just a dumb shitposter.

>>160582123
>normalfag enabling garbage, just like netflix.
>just like netflix
The fuck does this even mean? Netflix is literally a normie stream service. It was created for normie watching.

>>160581966
It was never a meme. Just contrarian faggotry. Stream if you don't wanna download. No ones stopping you.

If you have good internet, you have zero reason to download anything besides games. Why have something sit on your SSD that's you'll watch once and never touch again?

>>160581966
The website is a bloated mess, so if you try to run it on a toaster you'll get a lot of lag. You'd think that when people pay for a service that they'd work on improving it, but that's just a pipe dream I guess.

Useless.
The overwhelming majority of anime watchers are 3rd worlders that can't/won't pay for it.
From those who actually can pay for it, most are normies and don't care, and the rest are old-time fans who are adamantly anti-streaming and also can't fathom paying for something they used to have for free.

What you need to understand is that retards who make these arguments don't even know what banding is. When they compare streaming to "downloading" and say they have the same quality, they're probably talking about VLC or default MPC (EVR shit). They don't know any better. I bet most of them will shit their pants if they saw the same show on a properly configured player on a decent rig vs on a streaming player.

>>160581966
Streaming will always be a meme.

>>160583066
>25GB
That's like one BD-rip. If that's enough for streaming, the video quality must be so bad I'm surprised you can still read the subs.

Don't really like anything about their service but at least they're actually getting on production committees and directly funding anime just like Japanese companies involved in anime production regularly nowadays rather than just liscensing.

>>160583085
Not really, the difference affects nobody but people caring about the most minute details of a cartoon that impacts nothing. I can watch a show in 480p or 1080p, don't give a fuck.

Crunchyroll reduces the quality of a show after a certain time to save bandwidth. Streaming anything modern is a meme yes.

Older stuff from the 80's and early(Unless it had a BD-release) is fine to stream.

Great entrypoint for new and casual watchers but if you're serious about getting to know the medium or getting the best quality rips you need to torrent. Plenty of classics - and now even new shows (because of Amazon/Netflix) are missing from the site.
Getting into anime via legal methods only is an absolute shitshow right now and probably will stay that way for a while.

Okay, it's now apparent that you don't understand streaming at all. Do you honestly think you redownload the entire file to your cache to stream?

Moot-fucking-point.

I have several automaters and a pretty decent, local media library that needs minimal attention. Streaming is still more convenient and accessible at a very low price point.

>>160584030
15 meter long hdmi cable wouldn't be enough?

If I'm just watching something I stream, if I want to keep something I either buy the BD or grab an archive quality encode of a BD

There is no reason to not stream broadcast anime. It's not lower quality (no your BS11 rips aren't better) and the content is literally unfinished. Why bother keeping it?

I myself see nothing wrong with this, I believe in the old "like it? buy it." motto. Don't you remember that report that showed that pirates on average pay for media more than non-pirates? I have Amazon video (on and off), had Netflix for a couple of years and buy a lot of shit on comixology while still mostly get everything from the scene. Everything has its conveniences but saying streaming is better or even as good as downloading is just pure retardation.

>>160584076
>No.
You're retarded. Just get any fucking 720p image and resize it to your monitor fullscreen resolution with NGU vs Blinear and compare the quality (and that's if we're talking about CR streaming not shitty re-encode malvertising streaming like KA).

>>160584269
>Do you also hate Netflix?
Yes, I do.
>Amazon?
Don't you need to pay twice for their anime streaming service? Then yes, I do.
>Crunchyroll doesn't care
Then why do they shill their shit on /a/?

>>160583122
>>160583153
Companies like Netflix and CR may be funding some shows, but it's still a minority. Even if they were to make "western" anime, the original industry in Japan would continue as if nothing happened.

Generally, most anime fans start out as unsufferable little shits who stream Naruto or whatever entry-level anime is nowadays. Ideally, at some point they manage to develop taste, grow up, and stop being shiteaters who watch garbage anime in garbage quality. I just wish the rest would stick to the thousands of other cancerous anime websites they'd fit right into and leave /a/ alone.

Refusing to criticize a company because they provide us one useful service is stupid. People hate CR for a lot of reasons. Not to mention your whole "they're rich, so why even bother hating them?" argument is absolute retardation. I don't want to believe that CR bothers getting people to shill for them online, but this post gives me reason for pause.

Where do you think we are?

I would actually call it a good alternative. I watched 3-4 shows on the twitch marathon despite never streaming anything since 2011 and it was surprisingly enjoyable despite initially watching it out of irony.

I don't know about their selection and I've heard it's pretty bad but as opposed to just DLing direct rips from their site and watching them on your computer vs streaming them there is virtually 0 difference besides subtitle rendering and the odd bitrate artifact which I could care less about when watching a 720p broadcast version.

>>160584972
>>160585073

Amazon has an english anime streaming service in house that directly competes with Crunchyroll, they've had LWA and MiA among shows I've watched. They also own Twitch, and I don't think they'd be promoting and giving exposure to their direct competitor for no reason.

The acquisition makes a lot of sense for Amazon, as they have shown willingness to drop big bucks for streaming services to lock down emerging markets. They don't buy shitty competitors, they just absorb the english speaking market leader, which makes Crunchyroll a natural purchase. They are probably running the Crunchyroll marathon to test out potential synergies with their other offering for the male 12-17 & 18-24 demographics before signing

Yes, a multi-millionaire dollar, international company's data centers are far more reliable than a group of random, changing peer nodes.

Streaming files aren't "huge files" and they definitely don't force you to download the whole video if you simply want to skip to a certain part. Have you even used the internet in the last ten years? That aside, you can choose how long anything stays in your cache, so another moot point.

I've been posting Crunchyroll screen captures for about 6 years on /a/ and not once, not one single time has anyone caught on. So keep trying faggot.

Reminder to sage and report.

>>160584269
Any core fandom is bound to be filled with loud, vocal retards who take their particular niche super srs (look at /mlp/ and /vp/ for example). /a/ is a core fanbase for anime and thus...

There are plenty of lurkers and people smart enough not to even bother even having this discussion that couldn't give two shits about how anyone else watches anime.

Meh, they're the second least worst legal option after Amazon quality-wise, though money-wise they certainly give you the most bang for buck with the amount of shows they have and not having a double paywall like Amazon. I got myself a subscription after I gave up and started watching HS for everything, because if you're consuming someone's products pretty much as-is on a large enough scale I think you should support them properly, even if they're not exactly ideal quality-wise.

Fuck actually watching anything on their site though, I want my proper chroma scaling, smooth motion and debanding filter. Plus the site doesn't even have proper HTTPS support for some ungodly reason.

He's right though. If you're going to argue that streaming is "decent" in any form, you better be arguing in favor of watching on legal sites, because if you're watching stuff on garbage sites like KissAnime or so that re-encode the already quite mediocre legal streams into even worse quality, you're 100% a pleb and a blind idiot.

Because half of the fucks here live their lives in total obscurity. They latch on to anything that makes them superior.
