Who is an "adator"? Is it editor or adapter?

No clue what they mean by Adaptor...

I was reading the Sugar Sugar Rune manga before the anime ever started, so the anime was based on the manga, the manga wasnt created after the anime like Pretty Cure.

No sense...

Anyways, Crunchyroll rules! They got several legal subbed series they show, and now legal manga as well!

Lol at crunchyroll rules they have a shed load of illegal files on there and yet 4 million dollars was given to them instead of the anime industery what a joke. The People who run that site dont give a toss about anime they just want the money and the the industery gets run into the ground they will just take the money they have made and run.

They could with Duraga up untill that awful clifhanger ending. Blastreider, er, never and Strike Witches' viewing window is so damn small that I can't even see it.

Though, given what we have content wise with SW I think that might be a good thing.

I don't see you cursing at Youtube, Veoh and Bittorrent, which inarguably are doing much less than CR at advancing the current state of affairs in the anime industry. At least CR is actively taking steps to host legitimate content and share profits with the industry.

Also, I don't think you understand the point of VC funding...

If fan-sub fans still have a problem with paying $1.99 (which i can probably find under my couch right now) for an episode, then they are being bigger penny pinchers than scrooge.

So hows about u use funimation service on this so u like support the industery. because if any of you have dowloaded every series u have watched without puttin anything back into the induters for teh past 2 years then u ain a anime fan at all.

Youtube has had their official channels a long time ago in helping content providers get ad revenue.

Veoh hosted one of the first ad-driven anime (Neko-ramens IIRC) before CR did.

Bittorrent is a protocol that was never designed to be used video piracy at first, it just happens to become one that was very good at it in the process. Plus the official Bittorrent site is also helping to distribute content officially as well.

Also note that none of these companies ever actively ask its users to use their system to upload fansubs - which CR does do, under a diguise of a poor colleage kid no less while the founders are actually all employed at some internet company. That's the difference and why people have issues with CR.

U know i have just signed up to CR to read some of the comments (no i havnt turned to the darkside) And i was reading comments about xamd which.

a, u can purchase of ps3 network for £1.99 (which some people on there have)

b, has come out 4 months before japan

Despite this people still decide to steal it off CR but what got me the most was people sayin how xamd was slightly off sync. How on earth can they have the gaul to complain about somthing when u can get for pittance and 4 months before japan.

Most of the people on there aint real anime fans they just watch it because its there.

P.S im going to berate the owners on there now to get my account banned from there.

If any of u still baulk at the idea of payin $1.99 for a service as good as that then u find anime worthless.

It has been an honor and will continue to be a pleasure working with such great people. I love you all! - shinji
