Recent reports have announced that Crunchyroll, the largest anime streaming service, will be replacing Aegisub with Israeli Software, OOONA, to produce subtitles more efficiently. Anime fans across the world are disappointed with this collaboration due to Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians (via a report by the United Nations Commission of Inquiry).
Crunchyroll is also ignoring the needs of groups who require Closed Captions to understand the scenes better. They are isolating a large chunk of their audience in favor of AI-based subtitling, which defeats the point of a streaming service. Overall, this hasn’t been a great year for Crunchyroll, and this won’t be the end of it.
Just canceled. Thanks.
fan subs are best
To the extent they exist
Have this odd bug where CC is enabled at first on every episode and man, it’s bad. Luckily subs for JP dubs are somewhat decent but I feel bad for anyone who needs closed captioning.
Oh, didn’t realize this. Had a rolling sub which I never bothered to cancel as I very occasionally watch with mates, but have now cancelled it.
I cancelled it because I forgot I had it a few days ago. This is merely coincidence to me but nice coincidence.
Only piracy will keep you from being complicit.
Don’t forget that Crunchyroll is also owned by Sony, who have basically picked up a monopoly on anime streaming services by buying out all of the competition. Aniplex, Funimation, Crunchyroll, Kadokawa, all under the Sony umbrella.
Fansubs have always been superior.
Remembers all the fan sub opening/ending Karaoke so I could actually understand songs too. 🥹
Steins Gate fansubs were amazing.
There are barely any real fansubs left. Most are Crunchyroll, Netflix or Funimation restyled and maybe retimed plus checked if they spent a lot of time on it.
Agreed, It very noticeable how bad the subs are. I remember watching an the terminator anime and the subs were atrocious.

I’ve been an anime of crunchy roll with those auto ai subs and the main character is called Kun. Holy shit half the time it’s censoring itself because it’s trying to say something racist, but not always…
Crunchyroll doesn’t even have all of the anime, they neglect a few classic ones. Pricks.
Doesn’t even have all the seasons of some animes they have. It’s ridiculous copyright rules in different countries. It sucks.
The pirate life is the only life for me.
Sub ran out midway last month.
Kodi + Premiumize.me + Otaku for the win. 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Well shit. If this goes through I’ll have to cancel

Many people noticed that the changes in the subs, they used to translate text in the background for example.
Oh so it has gone through? Fuck. Time to cancel then
If you do not want to support then stop consuming which can not do because everything needed or wanted is all controlled/produced by the same owner class and switching companies means switching between different companies all owned by the same owner class just like news and newspapers
Same scam that is done on elections to give the illusion of choice but the puppet master never changes face just the puppets
No other companies to switch to for baby formula, diapers, bottled or otherwise water, foods by any brand all same owner at the beginning of the chains, all media is all owned at the very top by the same owner class, movies including super hero ones all owned by that same entity, vehicles that move us and products around all owned by the same people even if the countries are different and the names changed at the very very top are the same owner class
Got us plain and simple
Same scam that is done on elections to give the illusion of choice but the puppet master never changes
Fuck off with that ‘both sides the same’ bullshit. We’ve very conclusively proven that no, one side is much fucking worse.
one side may be worse but the less evil side is still working with the more evil side just like how the DNC went
Uh huh…
Evil Joe Biden controls the supreme court, amirite?
🤣
