The future of media is streaming and for now, it seems anime and animation in general are surprisingly healthy growth sectors for it.

anime conventions are already a thing, what sense does a Crunchyroll convention make?

Is that everyone who was at DashCon?

 

It's probably a mandate from the parent company to celebrate the milestone.

there were more people conned into donating money to dashcon than just them

 

when the congoers realized their was no con (Aka. showed up at the convention hall and found out that the "convention" was one room with an inflatable pool full of balls and nothing else) they took pictures in the ball pit as a form of self deprication (they also sued)

>1 million paying subscribers

>The site's video player is still using Flash while the app versions were already on HTML5 players

>Terrible support for H.264 encoded videos & no Be rips

>Terrible manga app

>Rights to shows lapse in the course of 5 years

>Still thinking of increasing subscription charges

 

If it weren't for simulcasts and simulpubs, I wouldn't have been subscribed to their service for nearly 7 years. But at the very least, they aren't KissAnime.

Damn it took a lot of balls to do what the creators of Dashcon did to those people
