I really want to support initiatives like Crunchyroll and stuff, especially with the way their lineup has been expanding lately, but I find that I just really, really hate watching stuff streamed. It seems frightfully inconvenient and annoying to me, and I’d much rather have local copies. Partially this is because of Australia having anal data usage caps, and decent quality streamed anime chews that up quite quickly, especially if you accidentally navigate away from the page etc and it’s got to start over. I also like to be able to tinker, extract specific frames, etc. While it’s easy enough to save the CR video stream to disk, they make it annoyingly difficult (requiring reverse engineering some DRM) to get hold of the subs they stream which makes it pretty much hopeless. Worse, it often seems like I’m the only person on the planet who really dislikes watching anime in a browser window. I feel like I’ve been left behind and this is one of those generational gap things and I’m one of those angry old dudes yelling at the damn kids to get off his lawn.
