At least with U.S. pay for download shows it is almost always ends up being more expensive than having a subscription to Hulu or Netflix unless you watch like only one show a year or something.

Agreed. I currently watch five series on Amazon Strike on a weekly basis, so even assuming I was paying for Prime only for anime, each series would have to price $9 or less for a whole season for the subscription to not be worth it. Would have to be way lower than that for CR.

I also continue to find it amusing that people still complain about "we always hear the same voices" in English dubs but don't for Japanese dubs, where some seiyuu have hundreds of roles to their credits.

Honestly, anyone who says they don't have CR because they can't afford it is lying. You can totally afford it, you just don't want to pay it. There's a difference.

The "indirect kiss" (wherein putting your lips on a soda can or something after those of a potential love interest has touched them) is the stuff of melodramatic shoujo romances.

Up north, there's Tohoku-ben, which is slower and mumbly, and usually has to be subtitled for the rest of the country. Kyushu-ben (from the eponymous Southwestern island) is, in some places, completely unintelligible to other Japanese speakers. Okinawan and Amami are basically not even Japanese anymore.

Recently anime youtubers have put a lot of effort into telling people not use the pirate site Kissanime.The response from viewers was that the way Crunchyroll and mostly Netfilx and Amazon was not want they wanted to pay for -- either they can't afford it or the service is just not good for them. Aside from the familiar excuses (not much content available in my content available in my country, Netflix doesn't simulcast)

I'll admit that I do notice this in Sentai Filmworks dubs, where they have many of the same actors over and over again: Brittney Karbowski, David Matranga, Andrew Love, Luci Christian, etc. I've come to accept it as domestic anime's equivalent of summer-stock theatre, where if you go to every show of the season, you'll see recognize some of the same actors in different roles, often whatever they fit the general type of.

Anime is a lot more enjoyable when you stop looking for things to complain about.

Unless you live in a place where streaming services arent available, any excuse for pirating is dumb and laughable. You just don't want to pay the 7$ a month. You are going to buy the BD directly from Japan? Sure lol.
