Yea it sucks that they keep getting all these good shows, I’m surprised CR didn’t get this since they have all the other Umamusume shows. |

Why the heck didn't Crunchyroll get this?! I was looking forward to this but all I have is Crunchyroll, HiDive and Hulu. I'm not getting another subscription for one show, lol

You might be able to watch it on YouTube (If not a free VPN can fix that) but then it will probably look bad at times due to how starved YouTube makes their videos. |

Glad to see another streaming competitor after Sony consolidated a bunch of them.
Who is backing REMOW? They gotta have some serious money to license this. Edit: From their website:
That's.... 42.5M USD currently. That's a good chunk of cash to throw at licenses.
Plenty of familiar names here. Group of interested companies banding together to take on the Sonyroll machine. |

It's not that much, I mean back in 2019 Sentai received $30 million dollars from the Cool Japan (also consider inflation), now look at them and how they are today.
A lot of those still does business with Sony, it's never a good idea to place all your eggs in one basket. |

Sentai has to run its own streaming service; AFAICT REMOW doesn't, just put the episodes on YouTube or sublicense to Amazon Prime/Tubi/etc. REMOW can dedicate more of its capital to licensing vs running servers. They probably don't even spend on advertising right now either, and taking losses while trying to gain mindshare. Eventually they'll need to figure out how to profit.
Of course. Given Sony owns several studios plus music, gaming, and IP (and that rumored Kadokawa acquisition) you can't really make/broadcast anime in Japan without having to deal with Sony or its subsidiaries. But with this they are hedging in case Sony drives a hard bargain in favor of its platform (AKA Crunchyroll). |

Remow owns AnimeOnegai, a streaming platform which serves to Latin America (you may never heard of it but I know that awful and buggy service as I live in México) and all of their series goes to that site and for other territories they sub-license it to another platforms, that's why CR doesn't do business with them anymore.
There's just one company covering itself and it's Shougakukan (with the support of Sumitomo Corp.) which is understandable, that company holds a lot of IP's but has not a structure of studios or music label like Kadokawa to produce an anime. |

This isn't a YouTube issue. YouTube even RECOMMENDS 10 Mbps for 1080p30 fps which is 2-8 times higher than other streaming services. For example, Hidive still has some episodes as low as 4 - 6 Mbps average. It's not really acceptable. YouTube is objectively better. |

10Mbps is only around 1.3MB/s it's really nothing at all. In comparison Crunchyroll uses around 60Mbps (8MB/s) for a 1080p stream. What YouTube recommends and what they show you are two different things. They love using VP9 which can crush a lot of detail because of how it handles noise and grain, which some studio's use. I tried watching Your Forma but it had blocking the instant there was any high contrasting colours and heavy motion. I gave up and pirated a copy from Prime Video. This is supposed to be 1080p AV1: 
I checked the stream data and stream number 399 is 97Mb total size. The premium stream isn't much better https://files.catbox.moe/tc5f5e.png |
