No snitching. Remember that most manga aren't officially translated meaning that if those sites get taken down we will not be able to read those manga. Manga sites exist because manga has never been super readily available in other languages and they aren't going to invest money into getting every niche old thing translated.

Pirate sites is why anime / manga is even popular worldwide 💀 to be fair they could be trying to see series popularity outside of their platform or find a way to compete. No way they really need us to tell them where the sites at 😂

[@markwatson8714]

Yeah, I'm sure they have as much access to Google as anyone else. In fact I think Chibi might be being a little naïve in that respect; I doubt they'd be too bothered about trying to take them down given it would be a reasonable assumption that you wouldn't be using their app if you were reading the content they had elsewhere (and who cares if you're ripping off the competition?). Given the number of questions they ask about the sites I think they're far more interested in the fact that a site hosting illegal content isn't really in a position to sue if you start helping yourself to things like their UI features ...

[@multilad816]

What's worse is that they can look them up for themselves. Manga Plus is just lazy

[@bluz374]

Anime and Manga getting pirated OUTSIDE of Japan is largely a service issue because we don't have a Steam like service we can just got to get it. There's MULTIPLE sites and streaming services and then some of those services screw up releasing it, it's no wonder a lot go 'screw it, high seas it is'

[@BocchiTheBox]

Fakku, DLsite, Fantia..... oh wait it's all H-manga KEK Google Play Books, Amazon, and Bookwalker are some pretty prominent ones. Even then though it's still a fraction of what we actually want available, and for English versions many of them never get official English translations. So we have to rely on Fan translations, and even if they get an English release it's still usually far slower than the fan translations. There is a lot of reasons pirating is valid. Even just saying it's really expensive is honestly a good enough reason on its own for these non-paperback online versions being sold as the same price as the paperback ones. Which since its online means you technically don't even really own it. I don't blame anyone for pirating. Provide a better service, and better deals and people will feel less inclined to do so. Simple as that. Google Play Books even has a translation feature, but they still don't sell the Japanese versions of the books for overseas which would really help make good use of that. Especially since there's a lot less trust on translations nowadays people would rather use machine translations even with their issues.

[@MrKlarthums]

Service issue is one, but it's also cultural to some extent. Especially to older consumers who grew up with fan translations provided through extralegal means being the only source for the majority of series.

[@alenasenie6928]

It is honestly the same for most movies and series, give me a service where I can buy the series, that when an upscaled version comes out it is available (the remasters of most games just becomes available when they come out and I have bought the older version at no extra cost) and that will never suddenly become unavailable, I have access to games that are discontinued, no longer available to buy, but I can download them, because I bought the game (at least steam respects the meaning of buy even when it is a license)

[@alenasenie6928]

​@@MrKlarthumsthere are many fansub that are just superior to official, why there are no translator notes in official? And I have also heard some official dub with Japanese background noise, when I was a kid that didn't happened, even when I like the Spanish dub of Komi, that is a problem.

I've said this time and again: Pirate sites wouldn't be a problem if anime and manga were just more accessible. Instead of focusing on cracking down on pirate sites, how about spreading your franchise properties around so more people can have access to it. Where I'm from there's this youtube channel you can subscribe membership for which actually lets you watch some popular anime legally (I think it's region locked so it's still difficult to access). But if you make it easier for anime fans to get access to your content, there would be no need to pirate. I'm pretty sure so many fans are more than willing to pay membership for it, but so many streaming sites and channels are region locked so there's really no other way around it. Some of us have to pirate to enjoy the shows we want to watch.

Let's all put a link to the Crunchyroll home page in order to tell them that they suck. 😂😂😂

[@Jeffx22]

Aniwave just got shutdown 😭😭

[@Jeffx22]

RIP Aniwave (9anime) 🪦🙏🙏

[@Haigen6]

I know you are sad! That aniwave is getting shut down due to a user on manga plus who snitched on us, website like zoro and aniwave. This probably won’t stop piracy of anime there over 1000 of anime website there no way of taking all down. My suggestion is that you guys should stop announcing your website that you use to watch anime it could result that website getting taken down. For example kissanime everyone on KZbin kelp on mentioning this website, obviously going to get shut down since so many people know about it.

[@emeraldspark8794]

😢

[@LordEnder86]

Saw this in my recommended after seeing aniwave was down. Surprised there's not more comments about that. o7 to the actual goat, carried my anime addiction the last 6.5 years

[@murata..]

@@LordEnder86 ain't never felt so heartbroken seeing it go down

[@TheRealUzu]

I went on the survey and just put "I watched pirates of the carribean, that's a pirate movie just go watch it instead of asking me what pirate movies I watch" 💀

[@boi9352]

funny thing is that the question isnt a required field so people can just skip it, which is very ironic

[@OldManBriney]

I have never seen a KZbin comment section this united before. Not everyone can afford to redily pay for multiple different streaming services to watch on anime or another. people all around the world are starting to have less and less money, stopping the issue of piracy isn't possible either unless some major revamp came to the internet as a whole. However dont snitch. We all like anime around here.

[@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece]

I think it is always wild when people just assume I would self report on abhorrent crimes like that just because it is "anonymous". Yeah of course. But I would never do something this bad! So of of course I don't know where the seas even are! I am a law abiding cattle of the industry. I mean the other c word cun... almost there customer! Ha, see I know all the lingo!

[@supersonicmario56]

Alright. Who snitched?

[@aniahliepard]

The fact that the site question where they want you to post the link(s) isn't required so it makes it even funnier

[@XirlioTLLXHR]

I think they tried... and succeeded 👀 a bunch of anime sites got shut down.

[@SpicyInk]

Knowing myself I'd probably just read it and write them down without a second thought and realise later how stupid I was

[@KingofDiamonds117]

The vast majority of mangas I want to support are either not available in my country, or do not accept USD. I've been lucky enough to support a few dozen creators, but that's it.

[@TheTrueMorse64]

3:29 Wait the Oshi No Ko manga comes out once a week? Dang Aka Akasaka really called himself out in whatever chapter episode 14 is based on (at least I’m pretty sure it’s episode 14)

[@thelegendaryklobb2879]

Mama raised no snitches

[@BlueRoseAcee]

"Remember a true pirate doesn't reveal the map to their treasure"

[@whatever6455]

When I unsubscribe Crunchyroll, they also ask me what other websites I used to watch anime 😂

[@Raleny]

Where i live Most manga are region locked Especially regions like the Caribbean and other obscure places where getting access to anime or manga is extremely hard cuz of licensing

[@krsnagaming5970]

i was watching anime yesterday on animesite but it is closed now. i wonder why😑

[@LuigiTheMetal64]

I buy manga in hard copies from stores.

[@HlumaniNkawana]

Same of as pirate continue to support the creators

[@MakiPcr]

Finding pirate sites is incredibly easy, if Manga plus can't find them on their own, they deserve to get pirated

[@raineblackstar3522]

I'd just be answering "hahahaha no." there lmao

[@deltalord6969]

Its so obviously written im debating on whether the survey was created by someone out of touch with the community, plain stupid or made by ai, possibly a combination of the three

[@dokkino7105]

Genuine question tho : it's obvious that those companies knows about the most popular one, why do those site still exist ?

[@Shakashelmet]

Imagine snitching in 2024.💀💀💀 Never gonna happen.

[@magentaballthepolandball5130]

"chooose up to 3" **chooses almost all of them**

[@zhaoyun255]

Damn, they watched way too much Hood Olympic from RDCWorld.

[@Flitch300]

If they really wanted people to snitch, (which ain't gonna happen) they should've made the question a requirement to submit the survey (and no one would submit it or would just put in "akdjldlspdlwlao" to submit it! 😂)

[@РоманТимофеев-р3ф]

Snitch for good not for corporations.

[@IchigoMegumin]

i would use legal streaming sites but they either not in my country or dont want my money like crunchy i tryed manny times but they wont allow me to buy a subscription

[@flyercurse]

For manga I use KZbin and for anime I use Facebook, the best part of Facebook is no ads

[@Stigma_317]

Thanks for the constant flashbangs btw (it's 2am for me)

[@adamgadbaw7747]

Oh I 100% told them I use them, did not say what ones, but did say it's their fault

[@setojinro]

you need to DOWNLOAD the app on your phone to be able to leave a comment. I wonder what the app permissions give them? :)

[@forbiddensuper2369]

This is like the 4th time I’ve seen manga companies do this
