        Ya true. Although, I can’t say I’ve ever had any difficulty finding a decent quality stream on either platform unless it’s something that is still at the cinema.

      Dropout and Nebula are both worth the price in my opinion.

      It’s all about what you watch, crunchy roll would be a waste for me, but Disney plus and nextflix are used in my house by everyone constantly

      I use pirate sites over Crunchyroll not because I don’t want to watch ads/pay, but mostly because I like the pirate sites better. I just don’t really like Crunchyroll’s website. Aniwave. to was the greatest imo until it got shut down :(

      And of course the pirate sites have much more variety, Crunchyroll doesn’t have everything, but you can bet money that pirate sites will have all 4 seasons of show X, plus the summary season where they recap, plus the chibi side show, plus the 2 anime movies.

    If its not on Roku, Pluto, Tubi, YouTube, then I’ll probably find something else interesting enough to watch.

    I go to theaters sometimes, funny enough.

    Reminder that your local library likely has many great DVDs. Not just the classics either. I was surprised to see my library had Dune part 1&2 and many others.

    Pretty much every film with the smallest amount of popularity can be easily, freely torrented in high definition. Netflix has good OG anime, not worth the price of subscription but still, whilst other platforms don’t even offer that. Why give them money? Learn to use the interwebs!

    The Last Of Us season 2 being on a different, new subscription service is very much the last straw.

    I’m relatively happy with the higher quality older television shows. I don’t really see a need to watch the latest stuff.

      Currently marathoning Alien Nation. Much better than whatever the fuck that last season of Mythic quest was.

        Wow I barely remember that show as a kid. I think it actually helped my dad with his bigotry and interracial marriages though.

    Right back to cable packages and pay-per-view or on-demand movie rentals.

    Tons of paid video service, most of it not worth watching, pay extra again to watch what you do want to watch. Oh, here’s a couple ads, too.

    Arr…

    That’s only if it’s an older movie. The latest Captain America is available to rent for $25, or to buy for $30.

    Or you can do what I did, and sail the high seas for it.

      Yeah, I kind of laughed at that. I wouldnt be surpised if even older movies cost a bit more now. But even renting a new movie is way too expensive now.
