Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak the random piracy site has a better feature set then CR
Huh. I've been watching stuff on 9anime for a bit now and never knew.

Simulcast is not a valid enough feature to beat piracy, because the torrents just steal those and reupload them right away
you need to add features beyond the content you host
at the very least, make your catalogue super convinient to do things with
at a bare minimum, you need a complete catalogue
then you add social features on-top of that, livechat simulcast, private watchtogethers,
app support everywhere, integration with all the major index/database sites
lean into providing high quality streaming of other franchise media too (that currently get very little attention)
and SELL LISCENSED MERCHANDISE, that is the most lucrative shit imaginable for zero effort
Honestly, if CR commited to translating all the random twitter and web shorts that shows get that never get translations
that alone would give them some credibility
their merch store sucks
maybe that's all that normies buy
the Funi owned/bought RightStuf to sell actual weeb shit
and iirc it made up a big part of their bottomline profit
I do think you are right though spooky, I think the biggest "easy" thing they could do is strike a deal with MAL, anilist, etc and just have webhooks with some cross features
Fairy Tail is a funny one, they only have episodes 175-onward
Not CR, but the legal way to watch pokemon chart is hilarious
that too
I think there are more website features that could be cool if they could do a good enough job
Add achivements like steam Spooky
YES
MAL sucks as a social platform
they could easily supplant that
no, they shouldn't try to out-database them
MAL is good as a non autistic database that is not super modern web designed like the other one and not turboautism like anidb
but it does suck for anything other than that
I'd also be ok with CR westernizing their seasonal airing schedule
because converting random JJK niggers into seasonal retards is nearly impossible otherwise
seasonal shows are on a few-hour delayed simulcast, so you get shows airing at actual hours instead of late morning/afternoon
I'm grandfathered into essentially free Spotify premium
idk how to save music
no one profits period
Spotify barely makes money, musicians make nothing
people listen to more varied music now ig
but most people normies would be fine replacing that top 4000 pop song playlsit with a top 40
and just have it on repeat
I wish Discord's spotify integration was a little better
Spooky, sorry to derail, you will love this
or really, if Spotify's sharing was decent
oh boy
So I am watching Isekai Ojisan right now, and Polu and I looked it up. The studio is making a new anime soon, and I shit you not, the director who left during Ojisan is coming back to the same studio he imploded to direct it
quick, call up the maid dragon arson
he's needed

Metalic Rogue is my new "This show is super pretty but is actually abysmally awful show"
such a stupid fucking show
it's the kind of show I'd normally expect to become boring, but instead it just became bad

lvl2 cheat isekai is stupid
MC is part of a native isekai, but then gets isekaied into another world, which is probably just his original world but that'll be the end-of-season twist
it's got menus
I had a really enjoyable MHA dream,
90% of class A got eaten by sharks and fuckin died
