Good. Even one less person watching anime is a win for humanity
You realize weebs are losers there too right?
They have plenty of non-anime related entertainment
Strange, because Wikipedia tells me that the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan of all time was an anime, as were the next five and most of the others on the list:
That’s a whole lot of losers for one small country.
Of course, that’s just the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan. The highest grossing film made anywhere in Japan is… the exact same anime, followed by another anime.

For one, they’re not weebs they’re just anime otaku, but also that is only a subset of anime and it’s mostly just a judgemental stereotype. They have ads on the subway for birthday events for popular anime characters ffs. Many pachinko machines are anime themed, including after late night anime which are the negatively stereotyped ones. You know who doesn’t have enough money to be a profitable target for gambling establishments? People with no job living in a basement.
And that’s all while ignoring that pretty much no one chooses that life style voluntarily and I see no reason to make fun of these people.
I don’t watch anime, but let everyone watch what they want. Even if they like to watch the “most degenerate” versions of Hentai. I don’t fucking care.
edit I get it, this doesn’t replace a p2p site. I was just watching Frieren via piratebay and thought it was so awesome that I wanted that the makers of it get some money from me watching it so I switched to crunchyroll.
I used it for a while, until they put some old shows (1990 era) I was in the middle of watching behind a paywall.
I get it for new shows, but I was happily watching old stuff with ads blocked by ad-block. Theres probably a reason for the change, but I can’t guess why. /s
They were also down every other week, so I wasn’t going to pay for something I could only use 75% of the time.
You are welcome
One head gets chopped off, two new ones spawn.
It’s always an issue of service. Make it more available. Adjust the price. Increase content availability. It’s not a rocket science problem, it’s just a problem of corporate greed, and law abuse
Except if you’re Nintendo. They somehow managed to kill the emulating sphere.
Wouldn’t go that far… They knocked out yuzu’s money machine but i doubt it’s gone as an emulator and ryujinx exists
animeflix wasn’t even the best anime streaming site in my opinion. Sorry it’s gone, but there’s excellent options out there right now.
Please don’t mention any good anime sites, i don’t want it to be taken down due to too many users.
I doubt Lemmy has the traffic or searchibility to make that a realistic concern.
My anime site of choice is a UI nightmare filled with ads and banners. Super ugly and bloated. And it just happens to contain pretty much every animated show or movie in history. It’s been around for over a decade now. I’ve gotta think the shittiness is intentional to avoid suspicion.
As they continue to make life harder for paying customers more people will stop paying
Correct they were non paying customer who were dissatisfied with the quality of service
They voted with their feet!
Instead of being an idiot and funding your enemy, they took direct action.
They deserve our respect and support
My point was that making life harder for non paying customers doesn’t negate the fact that they make life harder for paying customers.
