Oh god, I hope that wouldn't mean whoever bunged up the Funimation Roku App is going to do the same to Crunchyroll's....

Maybe it is just the news site. Its one of my anime feeds to I'd be a bit sad, and I find it interesting because a lot of the more interesting stuff is columns from freelancers like Nick Creamer.

They have been getting closer lately, with Funimation's deal to distribute Crunchyroll's home media releases and to share some of their streaming library. I wonder if they're working on some sort of merger or buyout, and that's why Crunchyroll's BD titles haven't come out yet? I'm curious as to what's going on with those; it's been a while, but none of them have come out yet.

The hell? Crunchyroll is awesome. I wanted to see them take over everyone else. Their app and services work better than all their other competitors If this is them making moves to be acquired, I am super concerned about the future use of Crunchyroll.
Edit: Our Funimation app acts up all the time, while our Crunchyroll app works flawlessly. Don't take it away!

The Drifters OP is fantastic, definitely one of the highlights of the year. Love all the visuals in it. The ED too is pretty great!
In my experience, the Crunchyroll app has been fucking terrible... Incredibly inconsistent and rife with connection errors... Hulu and Netflix ALWAYS run better for me. Maybe not fair to Crunchyroll given their relative size, but...
I thought the ED really fell flat in comparison. Forgettable IMO.

Death Parade and Overlord were some other OPs I found myself really enjoying recently.
I also really liked Yuri on Ice's ED.

Why would anyone want a one streaming service only future and world?
I wish we had alternatives since crunchyroll has clear downtime issues and fails to be able to remain stable on many numerous occassions, see last week when their site was broken on saturday evening, and I can mention many other times their site broke. Thats unaacceptable for a streaming service.
Death Parade was gorgeous, yeah. I'll have to re-watch Overlord's when I get home, it's been a while since I've seen it.

Wow I actually like the character designs in this one. I'm interested.

I was mostly comparing it to other anime streaming services. Of course Netflix has it's things together.
That's basically what I am saying. I want Crunchyroll, Funimation, and other services to stay around so they can push each other to give more value for their service. If Crunchyroll goes out, then what pushes Funimation to fix their broken service?
I don't know about site issues. I mostly stream through my tablet app and my PS4 app and they both work flawlessly for me.
Death Parade has an amazing OP.

speaking of Fire Emblem and Nintendo games, anyone picking up DQVIII this friday? Reviews seem solid and this seems to be the one folks always tell me to grab when I express interest in starting the franchise.
word of warning though, The whole song is pretty crap, but the cutting and editing for the OP makes the song downright amazing. Its one of the few OPs I'd straight up say "don't bother with the whole version, stick to the 'TV version'"
Seriously give whoever edited the OP music for Death Parade a medal!!!

In a way this reminds me of the people who want Steam to be the only PC game service.
Here of course there's the complaints of needing to pay for 4-5 streaming services to get all the anime simulcasts. The CR/Funi deal reduced that somewhat.
So I don't need to see Netflix fuck up the LWA release, Scum's Wish being sent to die on Amazon, and Funi grabbing exclusive I don't want to pay them for.
For generally the same reasons I don't want to have to use Uplay alongside UWP, GOG, Origin, B.net and Steam.
Just Steam is enough for me.
Unfortunately Funi is shit. I'd much rather the takeover go in the opposite direction but CR is a small time player I guess.
Yeah, amazon really needs to just... not. I like their selection enough (despite it being barren in canada), but their distribution and whatnot is pathetic at best.
As for funi, most of their new exclusives tend to stream on Crunchyroll now due to the partnership. Can't really think of anything of note that they got recently that Crunchy doesn't stream.

Dunno, looks choppy to me. Could use more in-between frames. The fight that is.
Oh sure, I hope they never bother with Strike up here in Canada :S
I have studentPrime too, so I get Prime for basically dirt cheap XD
That said, they have missteps with their distribution that they really need to weed out (Like lacking subs on some shows and sometimes just some episodes :S)
This annoys me a lot especially on Prime video.

Given how terrible the amazon video apps are I'd be bummed, plus it would mean much crappier service for everyone outside of a few countries. Whilst not perfect in that regard CR does a better job than most.

Can we get Carta back for Ioh please? At least she didn't make things worse by being a total dumbass.

The last five minutes of that episode are fucking legendary.
Libera Me from Hell is the best.

The new skins for D.va / Mei look bad.
It's a good thing though, because D.va / Mei players don't deserve good things.

This is Khara's work from what I've heard? The art itself is fine but the animation is really janky.

I would take an anime of just those dragon battle scenes. No plot or dislog needed, just straight dragon battle shounen.
Cool. Hope you're not saying it just to suck up to me!

I feel like there's a decent amount of show left to explain things so not yet.

Who said anything about stopping now? I've already started the next episode.
Need links too lazy to look them up
Also DVA was nerfed? how?
EdIT: They hit my twitters. They're not bad. Mei needs a real qipao though.

Still enjoying it so far. It certainly does feel like things are going fast without really setting anything up, but I like the tense atmosphere it sets up.

A current (at least as of yesterday?) employee at Crunchyroll posted this rather disquieting tweet this afternoon, so yeah, it does look like there's really something going on there. If Crunchyroll falls apart that's going to be disastrous for the anime industry, both because they've been at the forefront of driving legal anime viewing in English speaking countries and because they've been investing heavily into anime as both members of production committees and as primary funders of original projects such as LeSean Thomas' Children of Ether and Osamu Kobayashi's upcoming series.
