    Crunchyroll is never going to solve the problem because Crunchyroll is the problem.

        Looks like Bodacious Space Pirates.

        Fun fact - I visited Tokyo years ago when I had a friend living over there teaching English as part of the JET program. When I visited Ueno Park, there was a group of cosplayers in the park all in costumes from this show doing a photoshoot. I had no idea what show it was at the time, but figured it out years later when I came across a random image in a thread like this one and was able to piece it together.

        Mouretsu Pirates, AKA Bodacious Space Pirates, I think.

    Probably shouldn’t have sold out to Sony and sold my data like twice and then given away data in obviously avoidable breaches.

      That’s the fucked-up thing, though. Their subscriber count has almost doubled since 2024—yet they are hemorrhaging money like this. Smells like hookers and blow in here.

        Don’t forget all the money wasted on the ai generated dubbing that’s even worse than early days funimation.

    I mean I stopped even checking because they pretty much just abandoned free accounts. Worst possible time given amazon has upped its anime offering big time.

    Crunchyroll is a scourge on the Anime industry. The earlier it falls, better services can take its place.
