It's all what someone individually values & what region screwage they suffer through.
I honestly haven't ever used CRs web player to watch a full ep so it is irrelevant to me. Between Chromecast, Apple TV & game consoles, I don't understand why anyone would even want to use the web player cause surely the majority have a way of getting it on the big screen. Do people use their PCs to watch Netflix too? Its an alien concept to me, it's streaming TV so if you intend to use it find a way of putting it on your TV.

@tremorc I've had to talk to HiDive technical regarding some matters, and a lot of their streaming problems over the cellular networks are netcode protocol problems (namely TLS ones). This comes up at my workplace as the workers have to use company internet at home rather than their usual ISPs.
You might also want to check your phone security settings about what protocols you enable and allow more of them to run.
And I agree, I dropped Crunchyroll over those issues myself. I've also heard about the licensing complaints they had and the personnel issues.

@smashman42 I use my PC to pretty much watch everything. I haven't turned the TV on in years since everything i watch is internet based and the TV is too old to use without having to purchase something to access the net. I don't use it enough to warrant purchasing, and also, the computer chair is more comfortable than the couch.
Different people watch things in different ways, and having a dodgy web player on a web based service doesn't exactly help.

@jaquobus @Jon-Mitchell The genre that Sagrada Reset belongs to is somewhere between the local form of sci-fi and something called a honkaku (loosely translated as "orthodox") mystery. They are on the older side, but Goth: A Novel of Horror and HaruChika are also in the same area (I highly recommend both, especially Goth). "Another" is a good series, but I get nightmares from it.

@smashman42 I do use Netflix on my laptop. Personally, and can answer the why with simply: headphones. Especially if it's a dub and there could be some weird shit.

@smashman42 I cast it on tv when I am watching with other ppl or when I won't be disturbing them, other than that I watch in my room. I have also had problems with PS4 CR and the app CR, both of witch I can do in my room.

Maybe I'm just old AF then, it's my house so if I wanna watch hentai loud on the big screen who is gonna stop me? So anime on TV is a no brainer. Guess I didn't factor in different living conditions.

I am going to start the whole high seas discussion here. Whether you like it or not it is a big part of this that can't be ignored. I am not going to directly name any pirate sites or pit in links but when there is an anime that I want to watch but there is no legal way for me to watch It, I will use the high seas. If it is available on YouTube without any of that high pitched sound and bordered screen I will watch it there, however I am willing to watch it at other sites; Though I absolutely hate that XOXO site and would rather watch on any other site (I want to protect my devices using ad-block on shady sites and I will not allow A-holes infect them).

ROKU on the tv and ROKU app on my phone - allows me to port audio to headphones and watch on a big screen

@tremorc good news! funimation is no longer part of vrv coming soon. Even better: HiDive is coming as a replacement! which means hidive on ios!
-

What shows will Funimation/Crunchyroll be losing? I need to find out what to binge watch before November 9th.
I'm an INTJ so I'm always the bad guy.

Was Nichijou a Funimation one? That's so sad CR will be losing it again. =(
-
@gocav Most likely the majority of https://www.crunchyroll.com/publisher/funimation, minus anything that aired in the last ~2 years that the partnership lasted. I don't think they've announced a list so far. Though, living in Germany, a grand total of zero titles from Funimation were on Crunchyroll for me, so I haven't paid much attention.

Really hope this split up results in CR getting Bang Zoom to dub Konosuba. I really want to own that on BD.
Edit: LOL it happened!
-
UPDATE - I subscribed to a flavor of CR (In December) that also gets me VRV, I'm liking the no commercials thing and much of HiDive's content appears to be available via VRV. So only Funimation titles are ones that they decide to post on HULU or that are also on CR, so far there's more to watch than I have hours in the day...
-
I have officially canceled my CR subscription. This is due to many reasons but mostly because I do not want to Support CR and what they stand for. I rather support content that prioritizes their content and audience experience (One of the biggest reasons why I have stayed with JNC).
Edit: I don't care too much if a service has some sort of political bias or something (every one has them). But if they make it part of their agenda and prioritize that over a good experience then I start to care (especially if they are being deceptive with it).

ok, pardon my ignorance, what does Crunchyroll 'stand for' politically? From what I can tell they are a cog in AT&T's corporate media oligarchy (and Funimation was part of Comcast/ Universal, now part of Sony , Amazon and Netflix are corporate giants in their own rights, HULU is 'getting there') Big corporations, in my experience, rarely have political agendas that extend beyond adding to their bottom lines- and they ALL suck. I don't like how they tried to gut net neutrality and regulations etc. but I can't say that I was surprised.
from what I can tell, only HIDIVE is 'independent' - but unless I want to sail the high seas- are there choices beyond 'BigCorpX' or HIDIVE (which has a greatly reduced library)??
