......I'm back?

Just a quick one summarizing the anime enshiffitifaction we've been experiencing the past 6 months (AI-subs, shitty typesetting, AI-cc, and AI dubs.)

I'll be back to my deep-dives on animanga localization next year, TBD.
thanks, AI hate it

It's sad that we started with almost everything being available on Crunchyroll with ads after a week, and by the end it was only enough shows to fill a paragraph.

I never used ad-free Crunchyroll but I know people relied on it.

RIP to Sailor Mars grandpa. The Alpha era of Street Fighter is the nearest and dearest to my heart and that was Nishimura's time to shine in those roles.

Not surprising, considering how badly they cut down on their "free" content. Used to be, anything older than a week you could watch free with ads. Then as soon as Sony stepped in, it was "select titles only.

Now I think the only places you can watch anime free with ads will be Tubi & Retrocrush?

At least one of these screenshots is from the AI closed captions on Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest on Crunchyroll, and I have my doubts that the show has a song about having no God in Ohio.
I wish I had kept better track, I've posted various mistakes throughout watching anime on CR but I'm pretty much done for now.

They use it for a lot of Japanese song lyrics, not sure if that's a tell or not. Second picture is from Arifeuta's credits, I'm blanking which the first image is from.

They don't carry titles that are being concurrently broadcast in Japan, but Tubi remains an outstanding resource to watch anime titles as well as Japanese live-action special effects programs (e.g. Power Rangers) for free tubitv.com/category/anime Much of what's on there is also on www.retrocrush.tv

This is a decision that can only happen when the people who founded the company lost sight of the reason they established this tier / how they themselves started. The whole reason that simulcasting+free ad-supported tiers were innovated in the first place was to deter people from pirating the shows!
