Anime Why are so many official anime streaming sites worst than unofficial and fan sites?

[Big Finger Jim]

Cuz these dogass companies keep on juggling the media rights between each other. I fucking despise streaming services because of this. Just today I wanted to watch Sin City again and the god damn thing was gone off of hbo max so I had to rent it. Granted, there is a chance you can get really poor rips universally like I got with Superjail, also official sites usually aren't AS MUCH as hives for malware and shit.

Part of the problem is that big, official ones have to deal with (and respect) broadcasting rights and the dreaded "tax write-offs" that make shows illegal to put on and dangerous to acknowledge. Really interesting stuff (like Pantheon) are lost forever because the company who made them didn't want to deal with their rather poor financial performance... But piracy sites, by and large, don't care about those artificial limitations, and are actually the reason why we can even enjoy entire franchises that are now withheld from us and may otherwise only exist as screenshots and forum posts.

I don't like when there are paid translators that put memes or stuff that aren't in the original scripts.

modern localizers are a plague. localizers of the retro era, less plaguey. But it's just like my mama always told me:
