Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

why is crunchyroll paying for translators in the first place? isnt it the publishers that have to supply the subtitles?

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I'm guessing there is a market for them to sub obscure anime that never had subs in the first place

I think Crunchyroll is one of the bigger publishers/localizers at this point.

Why are they paying money for anything at all? Go back to your pirate roots, crunchyroll.
