Oh Hi There

** Note: This post is stickied, scroll down to see our latest releases.
** Edit: The ads have been removed for now. They were giving some people problems and people seem to be willing to donate anyways. Thanks for your support.

TL;DR at bottom.

As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve slowed down considerably over these past few days at releasing new shows. Although many of you have the urge to call us lazy bastards, this is not entirely the case.

As you probably already know (or should), the former leader of the group, cryptw, has decided to quit fansubbing. While he was leader everything fine and dandy, as he funded our servers from his personal coffers. Now that he’s gone—

LONG STORY SHORT we really need an i7 box with 100mbit unmetered internet, and those cost at least 72 euros a month. (Do tell us if you can find cheaper.)

To somehow meet this goal, we have put up ADS (No, not AIDS, but close) at the top of this page. Can’t see them? Then please turn Adblock off. At least for this site. If everyone obliged, we would make ~$100 a month. Enough for the server.

Except really I doubt that all of you will oblige to turn off Adblock. Which is why there are now very cheesy lovely donations pictures on the right there.

TL;DR

Turn Adblock off.

No can do?

Donate————->

EDIT: Okay these ads are fucking annoying with these redirects, we’re trying to do something about that. DONE

EDIT 2: If you know any better ad providers/would like to host ads throw us a message!

EDIT 3: If you’d like to be credited in some way (on the site, one of our episodes, a TT comment, whatever) leave a message here with how much you donated and I’ll pull some strings.

EDIT 4: This comment deserves special recognition:

LONG STORY SHORT we really need an i7 box with 100mbit unmetered internet

I’m sorry but this is complete and utter bullshit. Fansubbing existed long before cheap dedicated servers and 100mbit internet, most of us worked out just fine with our home PCs and shitty internet.

tl;dr goddamn kids, get off my lawn

Yeah, not to mention “speedsubs” took about a week to release and leechers loved them for it. We delay things for 2 days and cutthroats are at our neck. Quote: “If you can’t release within 8 hours of airing you might as well drop the show”. Oh yeah those XDCC speeds back in the old days were glorious too.

TL;DR I’m probably older than you.

What is this I don’t even…

I was visiting your site earlier to see when Asobi ni Iku Yo was releasing (FIVE DAYS LATE WHAT KIND OF FUCKING SIMULCASTING IS THAT?!?) and I couldn’t help but see this.

Hey guys,

Sup.

Because CR works officially with anime studios and tv broadcasters in Japan, we have the best quality video sources.

No, I’m sorry, you don’t. Idiots. Even if you had access to the best quality source, your encoder sucks. The process of making any video streamworthy nukes the quality. Thus what your users get is a watered down piece of shit. Some people like to take their video seriously.

But high quality videos are big and expensive to stream, so they are normally reserved for premium members.

Your “720p” upscaled video’s filesize is usually 1.5x bigger than the 480p. Oh wow, that’s not even twice as big. Expensive my ass.

I realized that most of you guys haven’t even experienced our shows in glorious 720p, so I’ve made some special arrangements =D. This weekend only, everyone can watch our shows in 480p and 720p video quality for free! Of course you need a fast computer and good internet connection to stream, but I think you’ll all be very happy with the results.

>glorious

Just make sure to login (if you don’t have an free account, you can create one here). Then you can watch all our shows in 480p and up to 720p when available~!

I’LL BE SURE TO SIGN RIGHT UP AND GIVE MORE MONEY TO YOU PEOPLE.

Let me know what you think about the higher quality, and I hope it will not only brighten your weekend, but convince you to support Crunchyroll and the Anime companies even more by becoming a Premium Member afterwards~!

It doesn’t take over a shitload of money to run a streaming operation. Look at Horriblesubs. CR is just pulling money out of wallets of people that don’t know any better.

Have a great weekend n_n.

Thanks, I will.

Idiot.

So…yeah. Asobi ni Iku Yo delayed 5 days unless someone wants to translate for us.
