crunchy roll and other streaming service free tiers. (piefed.social)

So a bit back it sounds like crunchy roll is drying up what was an already annoying free offering. Is there any legitamate free tier worth signing up for currently that anyone knows about. Also I need dubs at this point as my eyes just can't handle subtitles now.

Pluto TV was offering some anime. Honestly, you will probably find stuff to watch through all the free streaming services, but you will have poor luck watching current stuff without a subscription or through pirate sites.

Honestly, it's time for the big squeeze from Sony, followed by complaints that nobody wants to pay for streaming anime.

Yeah I have been using more and more general streaming free services which seem to be getting more anime.

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I REALLY want to pay for anime and support the artists, even if the money doesn't go straight to them. The recent changes make this difficult.

Im not sure if I will get to the economic point where I would become a customer. If I did though anime would be more likely than others. I can at least say I generally like a lot of anime.
