Crunchyroll Originals and the HTML5 Player (Official Response)

Ya know, this sorta makes me feel bad for all the hate they've been getting- not for the company, but for the people. Surely not everyone there is out to get us. Some people must have their minds and hearts in the right place. It still doesn't excuse this whole HTML5 thing though.

I'm still mixed on their newest original. I don't care for their vision at all and what they're trying to do with it. I think I'm safe on this sub but I know some people would downvote this for what I'm about to say- IT'S NOT ANIME and I don't want to see it. I don't care if it has an "anime style" or influence, it's still Western af and I have no interest in it. Hell, I don't even watch Chinese "anime" so there's no way I'd ever give this show a chance. If I wanna see a cartoon, I'll watch CN or Nickelodeon. Maybe this bitching is for nothing though if they claim it's not taking away from anything else but I'm not so sure about that. It's not like it's free to make a show, so logically, isn't it taking away from then putting the money elsewhere?

I guess I'm done here. Actually, I have to say I do feel sorry for that poor person from CR that used to post here. There's no way they're a bad person as far as this CR stuff goes. I really feel like they're just doing their job being the messenger and trying to assist us when possible.

Okay, I'm super done now. Hopefully I didn't say anything too stupid because it's late as hell and I'm fucking out of it right now.

Cheers, all
