Particularly in Russia. Edited December 31, 2019 by Jman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 That one island in Oceania that watched Blade Dance of the Elementalers the most still cracks me up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Thank you based Poland, Belarus, Mauritania, and Antarctica for having great taste. Also, hats off to Nauru and Norfolk Island for having that one dude that happened to watch a niche anime and have it count towards the nation's most popular show. Wonder how Japan's CR service is like, given that they are staunchly anti-piracy and RWBY on there is likely because it's a web series that wouldn't require any hand-wringing from Kadokawa, Toei, or any other high profile production company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't been a pirate site in like a decade. Plus streaming is picking up in Japan. I assume Crunchyroll there primarily hosts the originals they stream via VRV like RWBY.

While I did say "piracy", what I'm getting at is that legal streaming is fairly new in Japan and I don't think that their production companies are as open to having their titles available to stream for a rate as low as most streaming sites offer. Unless it's a series adapted for Netflix or a streaming site, production companies would have a difficult time playing ball with simulcasting big name shows, especially when it would cut into the possibility of pushing out more units/merch to have it show up right away to stream at will with no strings attached aside from ads or a $5 - $10 a month subscription fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Between Bandai Channel, GyaO!, and Nico Nico Douga, I was always under the impression that Japan already had streaming services active before Crunchyroll came to their side of the Pacific.
