    “Please use legal paid services” yeah I would if

    1. They actually had the content I’d like to buy available for purchase
    2. I actually get a copy to keep and not rent for an indefinite period of time until the rights holder and / or vendor forgets to renew and it gets automatically removed.

      Netflix had Attack on Titan and Death Note at one point (first time I watched both was on Netflix) but now they only have the awful Death Note movie, which I hate with a passion

        Canadian netfux can eat a massive bag of penises, all they ever do is increase their prices while removing the stuff I actually liked. I cancelled after their 3rd price increase in 18 months without adding anything of value

          Maybe they don’t have it in Germany anymore but they do in the US. Or they added it since last time I searched for it on Netflix. I don’t have Netflix, so it’s been a while.

    Half the shit i want to watch isn’t available on Crunchyroll, but was readily available on Anix.

    Somehow a piracy platform had integration with Anilist, but something you pay for doesn’t. Plus the price only continues to rise, but the service continues to get worse too.

    It’s always a service issue. People will just find different ways to achieve the same result

      So here we’re gonna just shovel out all of the cheap and selectively costly licenses on our services for you to watch. All so we can proclaim VaRiEtY.

      Oh that show you remembered way back when? Fuck it, don’t know or don’t care! You’ll pay for what we selected for you and you’ll enjoy it.

      Braindead streaming logic.

    They nuked the comments at crunchy. Sometimes you need the information in the comments. Sometimes you need that information on every episode of an anime series because of some failure or lack of feature.

    I’m gonna miss the comment section.

      Didn’t they say they removed it because there were homophobic comments under a popular BL anime? A situation that could have easily be solved with a moderation system (which I know they had because they removed comments with external links).

      I guess they didn’t want to ban bigots with subscriptions.

    Goodbye 9anime. We’ve had a lot of great times together.

    I await the coming of 10anime.

    This year feels especially brutal for media liberation. 😮‍💨

    The King is dead. Long live the King. The people going after these sites are just playing a game of whack-a-mole. New sites will always sprout up to fill in the gap.

    I think I can actually list out more pirate stream sites that are still up and also older than some of these.

    point being that I don’t think it’s gonna have that much on an effect, if any
