And the interesting thing is that only 10 days have passed since the official start of this service, and they have very big titles from the very beginning, and they also publish 18 titles of this season at the same time. |

I'm all for this. The industry needs competition, and with Funi and Crunchy essentially the same company an additional party is needed. Neither funi nor crunchy and I wory that they will both take the worst from each other in this merger. Crunchy never re-released the BD or uncensored versions of shows like funi did. Funi had the worst player known to man. A viable competitor will hopefully keep them sharp.

The two-sided coin of competition. No one wants to spend tons of money on countless streaming services, but at the same time, everyone recognizes that one company having a monopoly on what can and can't be distributed is bad. I wish there was an easy answer, but there isn't.

I see Tokimeki Tonight so I'm sold I only watched 2 episodes fansubbed so if they bring the entire library if the decide to make a US website I will definitely sub. Also I hope its the entire Black Jack franchise cause CR only goes up to episode 25 as well as Retrocrush. |

Just an FYI, it’s not limited to the AppleTV device. It’s a channel on the AppleTV app, which is available on multiple platforms, including most smart TV’s, Roku, and Android. |

I'm cautiously optimistic. We had another Japanese founded streaming service that had a lot of big Japanese studios backing it, but it didn't last long and shutdown not too long ago.
