Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update (fandomwire.com)

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.

Lol I can just add it to my phone's torrent client when I have a plan to watch something, then later begin download when I have wifi (or if you have unlimited high speed data, that also works... sort of...), usually like before bed when the phone is plugged in, then wake up and its done downloading.

You can pre-download the next thing you plan to watch before you finish your current thing. Same for TV Shows and movies.

If you don't use your phone for work, you can also just leave it charging and use their wifi (with VPN obviously) to torrent then come come and have it ready to watch, usually unless it has low seeders.

Watch using VLC.

(Afaik, there's no torrent client on iOS, so this is Android only... we'll see what happens with Android torrent clients after 2027... it works for now)

(That's the simplist thing to do. You can also remote into a computer,but that's a bit more complicated.)
