Okay, so I finally watched the video you embedded.

The fact that dub companies are becoming less prevalent means nothing to me as I avoid them like the plague. It may mean less revenue for the studios producing the anime, but I'll be supporting the ones I most enjoy regardless. As for the legal streaming, until high-def high-quality subs are available through some legal medium, I'll continue to download and support through merchandise.

About CR, when you attempt to sell a product to someone, it should be (in some form) superior to the alternatives. Well, its not.

About the industry "dying", it has no one to blame but itself when it cant adjust to current trends.

I dont think you are very "elitist" btw. Stating your opinion and leaving it open for discussion doesnt mean your force it on people because you think yours is clearly superior (you know your posting habits better than i do though, correct me if i'm wrong).

Crunchyroll has 1080p but w/e I'm sure theres some problem with it that makes it unwatchable.

I'll start of by saying CR/netflix/etc aren't available in my country and that I don't have the money to spend on buying anime. If I did, I could I would support any site that offered subbed anime in decent quality.

Now about anime dying, I wouldn't take it that far. Half of the top 30 anime on MAL has been produced during the last 5 years, and quite a few of those have been produced during the last two, so people are still getting what they want. Also, anime hasn't been profitable ever since Astroboy came out; it's had it's ups and it's downs, like every other business. The western cartoon business also had it's hard times around the late 70's and 80s, the industry was really a lot closer to "dead" than anime is right now, but then came the What A Cartoon! project and it revitalized the whole industry, making it so profitable that channels that broadcasted cartoons 24/7 started to emerge. Same thing has happened to Hollywood movies and TV shows a few times along their history. I'm no expert on this, but afaik after the european and latinamerican market helped anime grow during the late 70s to the early 90s, the industry fell into a crisis during the second half of the 90s which forced the companies to come up with crap sequels to some of the shows that had been most profitable in earlier years (DBGT for example) to make some profit. When they started to expand their market to the US, they came out of that crisis and the industry grew again... but this was over a decade ago so it would only be natural if they fell into another crisis soon. And later it will rise again, because like the video says, there will always be otakus that will keep anime from dying completely and eventually someone will come up with something brilliant to revitalize the industry.

I had crunchy roll heres the problem with it

1. free streaming sites have more anime to watch a much bigger collection
2. it cost money and free is always better

other then that I liked crunchy roll I didn't mind paying 6 dollars a month to watch some shows but after awhile I got bored with the small amount of anime they offer compared to some of the other free sites so I stopped

1. Free sites have more selection because they don't need to worry about troublesome things like licensing so they can put up everything.
2. Stealing is always better than buying.
