Crunchyroll Originals may be flopping like wet fish but when it comes to anime, people are lining up to give them money.

Because I really wanted God of High School to hold me over between the next Kengan Ashura season, but it was too quickly paced and really tonally confused.  It was weird.

Maybe I should blame Webtoon.

Does this mean they can afford a platform that doesn't constantly buffer?

I hope they put that subscriber money into Ex-Arm season 2.
