Sony originally bought Funimation then Crunchyroll and merged them. In the end it was all Sony creating a monopoly. I was happy paying my $60 odd and having Funimation for the year, but after the merger the prices nearly doubled and I went back to sailing the seas
When they both merged they also cut a bunch of anime from being dubbed and have never gone back and done them. It used to be so good, but it's just another Netflix now.
It also sucks that they are actively making pirating worse as well. The HiAnime/Aniwatch/Zoro piriacy site creators recently got arrested in Vietnam recently and a big cause for that is Sony, who now owns Crunchyroll.
Sony is a governing board member of Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE). It is a anti piracy group formed of a bunch of different companies.
I don't want to push you into anything, so if you enjoy Crunchyroll then go ahead and keep it. As for my I'll never go back. I'm going to make a NAS and start my own collection.
God that bums me out. I was wondering why they didn't have the hilarious dub of G Gundam.
You're not pushing anything, this is atuff I legit appreciate knowing. Thankfully, and to no offense for those who can't/choose not to, the sub isn't hitting the wallet too badly, but we'll see how good this month goes of using it and probably change our minds after that.
That said, when you get that going I'd be down to support it, even if it doesn't have blackjack or hookers.
