How the FUCK did CR become big enough to sponsor videos?

How the FUCK did CR become big enough to sponsor videos?

It's basically monopolized anime streaming in the west.

Weebs with disposable income.

>Everything anime
What does that even mean?

Shoddy business model and scandalous practices.

They had no competition to begin with, other than shitty chinesethemselves streaming sites.

I went to the movies yesterday, and they even had a fucking ad playing for Attack on Titan S2. Crunchyroll is bigger than you know

I'm assuming you saw Ghost in the Shell.

Not anymore, Amazon is blacking them slowly.

Look at how lazily they try to sell it.

Hulu and Netflix have tried to compete. Netflix is doing alright with the Netflix originals.

>not having Adblock on permanently
I haven't seen an ad for 5 years

>Amazon
Lmao this guy

OP here, I haven't seen an ad in ages, but that's built-in in the fucking video.

Is Crunchyroll funding a select few series like Netflix?

How much of their revenue goes into the actual industry?

>unironically watching any western LA

in ages, too*

>built-in
Shitty adblocker

I remember that CR were doing something with the Kiznaiver anime; their name was in their fucking credits.

I assume he means that it's literally part of the video

No.
Took my little brother and cousins to see the new Power Rangers.It was godawful

And to think that the nips thought they could compete against Crunchyroll/Funimation in the Western streaming market or the chinks in China.

Let us all take a moment to laugh at incompetent nips from Daisuki, who've lost against chink gaijins and ameri-gaijins before the battle even started.

This; I'm ESL so I'm sorry if I mislead you.
Anyway, even if you play it with mpv, it's still there. A lot of people are probably doing that because of the rise of the usage of adblockers.

Aren't they on Steqm as well as of a few days ago?

>not watching Boss Baby
why do you have such shit taste?

mislead *

I think I saw K-On on Steam like half a year ago

There was a german streaming site as well; how was it called? They had better quality than CR, AND they translated the OP/EDs (in german)

They are actually bleeding money.

Wait, why the fuck would a game shop thing sell anime? And how the fuck do they play it?

How the fuck would I know? I'm not autistic enough to buy it.

It means all of the things Japanese animation.

Nice anime related thread, retard.

How so?
Amazon has shittier quality than CR and Hulu, plus they force DRM (must download their own house program) on you to watch HiRes videos. They also force you to pay much more than CR for a crappier service.

Their shitty streaming service. Can't download it and apparently the videos are bad encodes of TV releases with banding issues.

English mother tongue here, he's just shitposting. You said nothing ambiguous.

>blacking

what did he mean by this?

i'm being serious is this a new buzzword for 15 year olds?

Amazon has significantly better video. CR's looks like complete shit. However it's too expensive to ever compete with CR, not to mention normies don't care about video quality.

Nah, it's just Sentai Filmworks shit. More recently CR stuff too. The TV encode shit is a meme.

lurk moar newfag

>Amazon
They brought those three back together (albeit more scripted) and gave them pretty much unlimited budget for three seasons, so I'm pretty thankful to them. I'm not entirely confident that they'll make it in the anime business, though.
CR seems to have capable management, and they entered the anime thing earlier than most of their competitors. At this rate, in a couple of years, unless they fuck anything up, they'll become a natural monopoly, like Google is to search engine. They do have decent-looking video, but it's near impossible for them to become better than CR.
>"normies"
Jesus, use normalfags, user.

>amazon
>significantly better video
The colors are too dark and grainy. My cousin had one of those free trial memberships and tried to watch John Wick and it was complete shit. Literally lower video tier than free Hulu. It was slightly better than Funimation-tier.

CR most definitely doesn't have capable management. Look at their glassdoor reviews.

I've seen crunchyroll commercials on TV

Crunchyroll should stop wasting their money on advertising. Everyone who watches anime already know about them. All Crunchyroll should keep on doing is expanding their catalog.
Expanding their catalog will get them more customers. Whenever companies go full ads blitz, I feel like they're in trouble.

How good is Grand Tour?

Does Crunchyroll have anything besides modern series?

I'd probably give it a shot if they had a bunch obscure 80s/90s anime, it's quite hard to find a good torrent for some of them.

Sponsoring internet videos isn't that expensive.

Amazon is shit at every corner. Video, translations, subs - everything so bad that even Funi looks competent. Hell, even Daisuki can make better translation&subs if they really want.

I've seen that they want to produce their own shit, like Netflix.

>How much of their revenue goes into the actual industry?
Really hard to say. Now they probably pay a fair amount for their shit. But the thing is that in all cases, be it streaming or BDs, most of the money don't go to the studio but to the production comittee. Studios gets a budget from the production comittee to produce an anime, then they go on to another project with a new budget from a new production comitee. That's how it works for most studios.

Buying blu-rays only makes a difference in that the production comittee will see that the anime is popular and get them money so they might as well get the studio to do a second season.
Wich is why you can have anime whose second season is done by a different studio, like Log Horizon.

TL;DR
I don't know how much, but they probably pour a fair amount of money into the industry or they wouldn't be able to work with them to begin with.
However, debating over what's more profitable is ultimately pointless since most studios don't directly profit from sales.

>How the FUCK did CR become big enough to sponsor videos?
Streaming Naruto fansubs until some idiot investors decided buying in was easier than going after them for pirating stuff.

don't think they have much obscure, but they do have older stuff, like recently adding Gundam G Fighter. Easy to find a torrent for that though.

Once they get more obscure catalog, it'd be ripped and uploaded to nyaa like any other of their releases, there's no need to pay for that. Their series only go up to 2010~ or something, nothing old enough, I guess that's why Steam is taking older series like SAC and other clssics.
A thread last mont proved that the gaijin money that goes into the industry is only 6-7%, and most of it is chink streaming. The most profitable money comes from BDs, there's graphics and shit that showed it. Almost nothing from the money that Crunshyroll makes go to the industry.

I just pirate everything. The fuck are you virgins complaining when you get your shit for free anyway.

>I'm ESL
I learned yesterday that half the people in this thread are probably ESL

I really don't know about the west, but I'm pretty sure anime is still a fringe hobby over there.
Normalizing it by TV adverts would do wonders for their viewership.

It's decent, but compared to TG, it feels rather scripted. There are also repetetive gags that get old, especially the "Celebrity Brain Crash" thing.
>celebrity is introducted and is on their way to come
>something goes awry, and they die
>everyone watches in awe
>James May asks after a while "So does that mean s/he's not coming on, then"
>Richard refers to the way they died in detail, and says that it's impossible
>one of the three saves the situation by saying that he has something to talk about - and that leads to the next segment.
I'd say it's worth it. You get to see the three of them all together. James May does an excellent documentary bit about Ford at the end of Episode 6, and episodes 6 and 7 are the Namibia special, which means none of that celebrity bullshit. They ride across Namibia and the Namibian desert in beach buggies based on the Beetle (they're suspiciously are coloured like the Evas)

I've seen that graphic, pretty much what I expected.
> Almost nothing from the money that Crunshyroll makes go to the industry.
Do you have a source on that ? I would be highly surprised if production comittees would just let Crunchyroll use their licenses to make money on their back, it seems like a stupid thing to do if you ask me. It's more probable that you're pulling that out of your ass.

Because we are entitled fucks who want a say in what gets animated without paying shit.

No, no, it won't. It's clearly a money sink. I never found out about Hulu from ads, and still found my way to it. I never found out about Sup Forums from ads, but still got to it.
Companies only use ads because their management team had an idiot who thought it would raise viewership enough to combat the costs that comes with advertisement fees.
Private Military Companies are loathe to do ads, and yet they are some of the busiest companies in the Western world.
CR also reached 1 million subs without advertisements. This shit is just wasting money.
If they increase their catalog and crush Funi/Daisuki and keep their video quality better than Amazon, they will win out the stream wars.

Paying the owner of the electronic rights the license fee so that you can make money and keep the profits for yourself is literally the whole point of doing business.
The nips sold a license because they don't want to deal with the uncertainty of the foreign market.

I think most of Japanese anime industry money comes from merchandising and domestic overpriced BD purchases.

>been here since 05
first thing literally every newfag says, lurk moar newfag

AnimeStrike barely has anything compelling to pay for.

So they do make money since they sell it in the first place. Saying that money from Crunchyroll don't go to the industry is false.
>B-But the rights !
Most studios don't get anything when it comes to rights either. And yet people still buy the blu-rays.
It does indeed.

They eated all the fastsubbing leeches, that's why.

They've literally been doing this for like 2 years...

While I agree that meaningless advertisements do not help, anime in the west isn't a completely stigma free hobby yet.
People only watch stuff like GOT because it's what 'everyone does'. Prime time advertisements by CR will make people think that 'everyone' watches anime and thus they should too.

The argument that normalfags usually use is that the money THEY pay go to the industry, wich is false.

It's streaming. I think they are using CR services to stream them as well. It's pretty shitty and I have no idea why someone would "buy" streaming video that you "own". I much rather just be able to download the raw DVD or Bluray. Like always... Pirates win.

There's a common misconception among foreign anime fans that they're supposed to help the anime studios, when in fact those anime studios have been utterly irrelevant for years and are nothing more but dumb slaves for big anime producing corporations.
It's probably some kind of misguided romanticism for the poor abused slave workers.

The ones who deserve all the money from foreign streaming services are the big Japanese companies that finance the anime shows in the first place, not the lowly shitty anime studios that make them.

>Sup Forums thinks they have a right to complain when they provide literally nothing to the industry

They got bought by Universal Pictures

Its a fun watch. I hope they go back to the Top Gear style of things next season.

You don't get to call anyone a newfag when using a crossboarder meme that isn't more than three years old, redditor.

Shit
was meant for

>mfw ironic weebs and fashion weebs are paying for anime

Well technically it's true since the profit Crunchyroll make is used to buy licenses. If Crunchyroll didn't make any profit they would eventually stop buying licenses, wich means less money for the industry.
Indeed. There's a lot of misconceptions as to how the japanese animation industry actually works (wich in fact isn't too different from the european animation industry). This whole "Buying localized BDs and streaming subscription does not support the studios" shit is stupid. Buying japanese BDs does not support studios either, it's not how this shit works.
It would be better if studios would be able to directly get money from the anime they put out since it would mean that they would have more freedom over their budget/production time, but it's also because those big companies are willing to shoulder the risks associated with final product that they are able to make anime in the first place.

Of course you have KyoAni and P.A Works who are exceptions that have been successful. But it's not an easy thing to do.

Sup Forums and its predecessors created the fucking industry.

>Sup Forums created anime

really makes you think

Some studios do get a cut from domestic BD sales. Most of the bigger studios are also part of the production committee.

>Jesus, use normalfags, user.
it's because redditors use "normies"

You should take your own advice, crossboarding retard.

That's probably somewhat true. I think it's fair to say that Japan doesn't spend a half second ever thinking about western streaming sites when they're making decisions, while BD sales actually do influence business decisions, so even if it's not as romantic as "supporting the industry" you can technically be a good dog consumer for Japan. Buying a CR subscription does nothing but help CR. The rights holders are just selling the streaming rights wholesale.

>(they're suspiciously are coloured like the Evas)
This was so on purpose, I recall there was an episode of Top Gear where there was a segment about the moon buggy where they straight up used a piece of music from NGE

Galaxy Express 999 aka. Depression: The Series

>WE WUZ PRODUCERS AN SHIET

>Crunchyroll

Ultimately, it's different depending on what the studio execs agreed upon with the big suits from the big companies how profits are to be shared.

>streaming
Get the fuck out.

They have commercials on prime time TV now.

So does CR.

What's the best quality anime streaming platforms worldwide?
For english natives it's amazon, german natives it's anime on demand and french natives it's wakanim.
Though, I believe the latter is hardsub only if they didn't change their encoding process.

Yes, that's why I said "some".

>quality
>streaming

Change that title for how sales work for Trigger, then. Not all anime studios bend over for their publishers.

Everything gets ripped from those streaming websites, fag.

Looking at comparisons, probably Anime on Demand.

>mfw they're ruining the community for those of us who actually like anime
