^ if you can't, you can always use Crunchyroll Unblocker for Chrome and watch with English subs.

First I thought these two titles were exclusive for VRV and I freaked out a little, but then reading the article, I was relieved to see it was streaming on CR, too, along qith Attack on Titan! My interest in Suka Suka wenr up after that nice PV, and I hope it delivers something good!

Highly advise you not to do it since it's a violation in CR's TOS. If you must, do it at your own risk.

That's really worth considering, thank you.

Here's a desperate attempt to promote VRV, announcing Crunchyroll titles on VRV first and no news about it on Crunchyroll.

For anyone who's looking at trying VRV's free version, be noted that the commercials show up at set time-points, without considering what's going on in the show. It might be different for CR shows, since CR has commercials set into them, but I tried using it to watch RWBY last season, and the commercials showed up mid-sentence.

within an hour of their premiere on Crunchyroll for Crunchyroll's premium subscribers.

Well that's a relief. I was in the VRV beta (I can't remember how I got on it to be honest, must have filled out a form then forgot about it) and I couldn't access it at all.[/code]

Well, if they're blocked, it's a choice between that, or watching the episodes ripped. I prefer the latter option myself...

Edit; Nice outfits the girls have in that shot. In Winter too?... Very Happy

Dare I ask whether that was for regional reasons, or were technical issues the culprits on this occasion?

So... They're setting themselves up as Crunchyroll's direct competition on Crunchyroll's biggest titles? I don't get why they would do this. If people can watch the biggest shows for free why would they bother subscribing to Crunchyroll?

They're not competing with Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll is part of VRV.

Basically, VRV is an aggregate app. You've got Crunchy, FUNi, Rooster Teeth, and other stuff I didn't care about. You can watch any of their stuff via the VRV app, rather than needing each individual app.

My problem with it, like I said before, is the ad placement. Middle of a sentence is unacceptable. Additionally, even though I have a CR membership, I can't use my CR membership in VRV, I'd have to purchase a separate CR membership via VRV to use it.

In addition to CR being one of the services available through VRV, VRV itself is from Ellation, CR's parent company.

I don't see either listed on VRV, so I wonder what happened or how such a confirmation occurred.
