The American anime-streaming industry, yes

No you do by buying merch

Yes, you and all your friends should subscribe to CR so you can support your favorite anime!

Yes, you do help the american animation study

Why is she smiling sideways?

No, you do the industry no favours by making it think that the Western audience is worth pandering to. You should buy Japanese merchandise instead, and if you really, really want to help the industry you're probably better off mailing individual animators bundles of cash.

So what's the status of this project now?

What’s the best site to buy merch? Amazon.jp doesn’t really have anything other than BRs and the source material

This. It's roundabout - a lot like the music industry in the US. Bands/artists make most of their money from concerts. You buying a ticket to their concert puts about 50x more money directly in their pocket than buying their song off iTunes. Anime studios make big bucks off merchandising, and they up-charge for exports even more-so. Buy that shit. That's how you show your love, plus you have something you can put on display.

What kind of life-cuck slave do you have to be to think you owe it to help your masters by buying things you don’t need. If you’re buying it because you like it, that’s fine. If you’re buying something to “help” someone by buying their product, you’re a pussy.

Yes, barely.

No, Crunchyroll is a pretty terrible site only popular because they hire shills. You are arguably making it worse.

>hollywood makes media
>"foreign gross profit" often gets them more than US only profits.
Why cant japan do the same?

You "help" with the 10$ a months, or whatever share of that goes to Japan. But it is a minuscule amount and it only works because so many people does it.
So you as an individual does not help at all really.

chinese streaming makes up for a sizeable portion of revenue

No, you literally kill the industry by donating to crunchy jews

No; you fund CalArts shit instead.

Do people think CR gets those licenses for free

0%.
Buy merch instead.

No
Just nip blurays

this.
Fuck Crunchy.

eat shit faggot

More than if you didn't spend any money at all, but not as much as they want you to believe.

Dose it matter? I don't have to torrent anything for a cost of a sandwich.

If you want to support the industry buy merch.

>paying for a streaming service with worse compression than fucking Youtube
wew lad

This will be a stupid question, but how much money actually goes to the creators/studio/whatever by buying US released BDs? Asking because i can't speak nipponese, and i would like to buy BDs in the future

>paying for a streaming service
I seriously hope you guys don't do this.

Yes, crunchyroll has the rights to stream the anime so that means the author is okay with the money that is receiving, so yes you are helping.

No crunchyroll is a scam.

Nothing. The license has been paid for already so they got paid beforehand.

The only thing buying translated shit does is maybe give them leverage to ask for more money next time they license shit out if it sold well.

Of course not retard.
Crunshitroll is a scam were they pay pocket change for a cheap ass license and hoard insane masses of money for themselves.
CR benefits from ads, jewtube crops and OP uploads and merch while they receive a massive audience world wide.

CR is the same as Viz, they make shitloads of money for a simple translation/scanlation, which fans make all the time for free, and printing shit... Something literally any dumb small business can do.

These companies are proxy money grabbers taking dirty advantage of the cultural barrier.

This.

Doesn't matter, crunchyroll pays once and profit the IPs for years, even decades.
Fuck CR.

There's no place to download raws and subbed anime other than nyaa.si.

Newfag please. This couldn't be more wrong.
For beginners try Amiami and Mandarake.

There's Tokyo Toshokan and Sukebei.

Crunchyroll is shit dumbass lol

>sukebei
>separate from the cartel

CrunchyRoll is a scam website.

Sukebei is just a part of Nyaa, and TokyoTosho doesn't host anything. They just link to the torrents hosted on other sites like Nyaa.

Yeah and now hollywood is increasingly pandering to the chinese audience. We don't want this to happen to japan.

Who do you want them to pander to?

I want them to pander to my specific tastes.
