I think Netflix is starting to go down the same path as Blockbuster when they stopped keeping up with current consumer demand which ironically is how they were able to beat Blockbuster in the first place.
The Australian Anime Community: First Time? Netflix is literally the ONLY site I know that legally streams anime and I could probably count the non-original anime’s on it with one hand
AJ Rowan funimation has been caught changing words in the translation. crunchy roll makes their own anime instead of giving the money to the anime creators. And their service and applications is horrible to use to boot. Hulu is the same. And VRV lacks a lot of anime.
Also due to region issues quite a few anime aren't available. I tried to watch Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains in Australia and because of a stupid licensing thing with Channel 9, I had to pirate the show.
Piracy is “legal” in the US as long as the individual watching is not the one to distribute it. Not something people should do it, but it’s not a bad thing to know.
Mario says : "You should respect companies and creators and pay for your anime, if you do not have enough patience to wait then watch said anime on another legal website." Luigi says : "if you have to waste time, then do the crime"
Pirating a netflix show when you have a netflix subscription would be like pirating a game you bought on steam. Its not really pirating if you're technically paying it.
That's how I feel about it. You already paid for it. You're already supporting the creator. I own Blu-Rays for Lord of War and 47 Ronin, but they don't want to play in my Blu-Ray player (they're legit copies) so I just downloaded and watched them instead. Way less morally questionable than downloading anime. You're allowed to have a backup copy. You're not required to be the person who *made* that backup copy.
Kinda depends on the specifics of the platform. If you are paying for Spotify and choose to pirate your favorite artist's album and listen to it outside of Spotify, then Spotify doesn't give a fuck. Why would they, they still get your money. But guess who doesn't get the money? Your favorite artist. Spotify doesn't have to pay your favorite artist, because you didn't stream the music through Spotify. Spotify is still getting your 10 bucks per month, but now they just don't have to forward it to the artists. Hell, they even get the advantage of not having to store as much of your user data or expand their servers. I don't know the monetization system of other services like Netflix, but there are similar ramifications. A show you like is on Netflix, but you choose to pirate it anyway. Netflix still gets your money, they don't care. But the show you like doesn't get your stream numbers. If a significant number of people are like you and choose to pirate something instead of watching on the intended platform, then the platform will see that the show is not performing well. If the platform has to pay to keep the license for that show, then they might drop the license or negotiate down the licensing fees, and now the makers of your favorite show are fucked. They might stop making the show, or they might stop putting the same amount of effort into the show because it's not bringing in the same amount of revenue. I agree with what you're saying as far as non-streaming media is concerned, but paying for a streaming service is not the same thing as paying for or owning any of the content which is on that streaming service.
Actually I think this practice is technically protected by law here in the states. If you already own a product you are allowed to make/obtain as many digital copies as you want so long as A) you do not sell or give away said product, and B) you erase or get rid of any and all copies when you relinquish control of the original product (in this case, Canceling your netflix subscription).
It's because of negative associations with eating disorders. They are afraid to be construed as normalizing bulimia, or even binge drinking, and so they are distancing themselves from the term. In addition one could argue that binge-ing anything is a form of addiction and they obviously would like to avoid being labeled as actively encouraging an addictive behavior. It's why Netflix does the whole binge watch thing in the first place. Because it can be addictive, its increases their retention numbers and is good for their bottom line.
This situation somewhat mimics my experience with the Mandalorian series on Disney+. It released back in 2019 for the US, but here in the UK we couldn't legally watch it until the 24th of March. Not only was the whole show spoilt over that period, but when we finally got it... they forced the one-episode a week system into place. I personally enjoy a week to week episode system, what I don't like is being made to wait 6-months while a show is spoiled, then to only have to sit through an artificial watch-a-long. It's like they wanted you to go out and use 3rd parties to access it.
@7 Melt I still watch anime one Netflix because it is by far the most convenient platform to use and in terms of service accelerates way above other platforms like Crunchyroll and Funimation. The problem with Netflix is that they dont simulcast any of their anime and (in terms of Europeans) they have a stupidly low ammount of anime actually on their platform.
I kinda do a mix, if it is on netflix I will usually start on netflix and then move to crunchyroll when I get to the point where netflix has no more episodes (since I don't have any currently airing anime I watch), my main problem with netflix is them constantly only having a few seasons (like I started jojo on netflix but it only has part one and two)
The twist was that the video was just about a guy asking for people to watch his favorite show because he doesn't have anyone to talk about it. I understand that feeling too Nick.
Can't be worse than manga which you know exist, can read, but no one is translating to you sit there looking at the forbidden texts knowing if you want to read it you have to learn an entirely new language...

You're telling me the Russians can translate it and you can't get that shit in English!!! Even the god damn Portuguese are ahead!!!!!!

I honestly prefer week by week releases. I realized this when Disney+ started releasing shows. I think, especially for a newer fan base, it brings fans together better. People can make and share theories and make jokes that could be ruined by later episodes. And its a nice thing to look forward to every week.
While I agree with you, and the week by week discussions with firends about the last episode are very enjoyable, Disney should've at least released it's originals as a whole season when Disney+ arrived to new countries. I pirated the Mandalorian because there was no legal way for me to watch it, I have friends that decided to wait a year until the service was available in Mexico, it gets here and then, a year old show, that had been subbed and dubbed for months, came as a weekly release
Being part of a weekly seasonal community discussing and following shows as they premiere is such an integral part of the anime community, and the way netflix straight up fights against that is always going to be a strike against them as a platform to consume anime.
@@IPODsify Thats really neat, I didn't know that. I guess it makes sense though cause you're not watching something all at once so the experience is more special and therefore more memorable.
Here in Brasil, where everything is expensive and most people don't have money to pay for a bunch of stream services, we became champions of piracy, king of pirates, or Kaizoku if you feel like. Even to this day, the playstation 2 is the most popular console around here because it's so easy to pirate it.
E o que o cu tem a ver com as calças? Muita gente ainda não consegue pagar por todos os maiores serviços de streaming atuais. E quando não encontram o que querem ver acabam pirateando. Tipo eu que queria ver Alita Battle Angel, mas não achei em nenhuma plataforma.
"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable." - Gabe Newell
@@aurorasowerbii Digital Rights Management. Think of Denuvo, a company that works with major game publishers to make pirating their games extra difficult, and you should get an idea of what it is. There are arguments for and against DRM, but the general consensus is that it's a mostly anti-consumer practice as pirates have no problem getting rid of it while the people who legitimately pay are left with an inferior product. In terms of gaming, games with DRM patched in can struggle with performance problems and some require you to always be online, even if the game is meant to be singleplayer. DRM was way worse before digital marketplaces were more popular, with CD Keys, limits on how many computers you could install a game on, and more invasive DRM that slowed down both your game and your computer being frequent practices. In terms of streaming services, you have issues like the one outlined in this video.
@@vaudevillain_2 It's essentially why EA had such a huge problem with piracy when SimCity came out. The DRM was so invasive yet unreliable that the only way to reliably play the game is to pirate it. If you bought a legal copy you would constantly be dropped from the game, losing all of your progress simply because their servers were unreliable, that way one of the "features" of trying to be honest and actually respect EA's property rights. With a cracked copy that wasn't an issue, you never had to worry about putting several hours of work into your city only to be booted to the main menu and lose all of that progress simply because EA had unreliable servers.
@@opposite342 It works perfectly for us at least since we speak Japanese. My wife is Japanese, so I show her shows in Japanese or with Japanese subtitles.
Gabe Newell once said "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem."
My 12 year old me begs to differ, I pirated a LOT of games back then because I had no fucking money (and wasn't old enough to buy many games). Also I remember how much fun it was to trade games on the school yard via disks or on lan parties... But yea, with the end of my twenties I still pirate some games, mostly because they are sold over shit services or are cut versions... Also fuck all those different video streaming platform with their exclusives, seriously fuck off!
And if you just want to watch something like Die Hard or Terminator 2, Netflix doesn't have it. Hulu doesn't have it. Amazon Prime doesn't have it. They only have reality shows about cooking and their own original shows. Try to watch any given movie and it's not there.
“DO WHAT YOU WANT ‘CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE! YOU ARE A PIRATE!” But seriously, I say if the company isn’t giving you a legal option, they have no one to blame but themselves if you choose to pirate
True. And media companies somehow got to the point where they thought, or maybe just thought that they could convince people, that if you see or listen to something without paying for it, it is a lost profit for them. Well.. no. All the time that record stores existed, you could listen to an album in the store - and then not buy it - because you heard what it had to offer, and it wasn't for you. If it was for you however, you would actually buy it. I have a huge DVD collection, and it is thanks to the ability to pirate. Sure, I watched a lot more than I bought, but it is no different from the record store phenomenon. The company would never have gotten my money, anyways, for the movies that I did not buy. Yet, somehow they go to courts, pretending that they lost a sale. And lets not forget about all the purchases they gain from people watching/listening for free, becoming walking talking, free, billboards, - as they talk to people about what they saw and heard. These media companies should just sit down and thank people for not suing them for not paying for advertising for them.
@@minimimikyus3056 If you have not seen the anime, it is still terrible... It has many parts that make no sense.... like, I watch bad movies to get perspective on what's good and what decent and what's bad... that movie gave me more pespective than most bad movies and shows I have seen... example: I understand that in a chase, the chased may knock down things to slow down the chaser behind them... but why would the chaser go out of their way to knock down things?
When will people understand the Internet _is_ a region? Don't release online shows in Japan, or in England, or in country X. Release them to citizens of the Internet.
I was so stoked that Netflix was gonna have Golden Wind but then I was instantly bummed to discover they aren't gonna show it weekly outside of Japan I wonder if Crunchyroll simulcasting GW has something to do with that...
@@BitchChill Sure yea but Netflix is locking media from people regionally. I don't think anime fans really want to pirate anymore. In the past it was necessary but Netflix is the one that is purposely being retarded.
i still dont understand why netflix still does the whole binge watching thing because if they did the weekly release thing then people would have to keep their netflix subscription for longer to watch the whole series

Given that there are now multiple streaming sites that can cost anywhere between 5-20 bucks a month for service to legally stream anime, I think it's time for these media streaming services to evolve. Clearly people will pay for service when the media they want is easy to find and stream in good quality. It's just nowadays the market is so fractured that it's not only far more difficult to find the right sites with the right IPs, you have to pay for the service and remember to cancel it before the next billing cycle if that's all you wanted. Newell was 100% correct that defeating pirates is a service problem. Piracy drops when you make the convenience and the product worth paying for.
Piracy is not the same as stealing a fridge. Files are knowledge, not objects. They should be shared freely. The real problem, I think, is copyright. If anything was shared freely, people would support whoever they like, and we wouldn't have to deal with greedy distributors shenanigans.
@@kagenotatsumaki Until anime streaming sites provide a service more valuable than just torrenting fansub anime there is no reason to pay for streaming. Steam pretty much solved the majority of game pirating through value and convenience in it's service.

Gyorke Dani Even in the UK I still found myself enthralled by all the shows they showed in this video when just displaying an image of scrolling through netflix.
Why do they force binging? It’s fine if they want to encourage, but why can’t we have options? Also, pirate it. If they aren’t going to make it accessible even after you pay, why not?
haha.. cute problem.. here in my country everytime I see "top 10 best movie in Netflix" probably 7 out of 10 movies are not available for me to watch in Netflix, a service I paid for. I suspect it actually depend on how much does Netflix cost in the specific country.
Piracy is only unethical when there's a lost sale, and even then it could be argued it's ethically justifiable if the business in question is doing anticompetitive or anticonsumer practices and will reap a large profit anyways. That being said I generally buy all my media anyways unless it's like 2 decades old and out of print anyways.
100% not true. Piracy doesn't need to "lose a sale" to do damage to an industry. Firstly, an increased amount of piracy makes it more common which makes it easier for people where it can be lost sale. The increase in piracy also crushes smaller competitors that can't afford piracy protections. This means that you're often helping solidify the monopoly of companies you intend to punish. If you look at the game industry, this is why SEVERAL indie games have straight up been destroyed by piracy. Secondly, the "no lost sale" idea isn't always accurate. Special pleading insures that a good amount of people will tell themselves they wouldn't have paid for a product when they would have. Thirdly, there is basically no respected ethics model where doing an unethical thing to punish an unethical thing is ethical. That action is, at best, neutral. Often though, you're providing a strong moral argument for the companies you intend to punish. Finally, in the case of anime, specifically, a lot of the piracy sites do specifically make money off your information and since they're a black market, they don't really have to have a TOS to protect your data in any reasonable way. So, when you use a certain russian site, you're actually funding sime illicit activities you might not want to, and you're giving away free information. That isn't to say there aren't times where piracy is justified. Game developers will often say that, "if there's no other way to play my game, then go ahead." That's the big difference though. There has to be no legal way to consume the product first. Not expensive. Nonexistent. At that point, piracy can help bring demand to a product. That's pretty much the line though. That said, the Little Witch Academia example is STILL a gray area. It technically is a case where you had no other option, but you would if you waited. There's no real indication of when or even if things will release. Netflix drops things all the time. So, I don't think Nick was in the wrong here. I am glad he didn't just assume he was justified though.
Aren't there studies that show piracy actually increases sales? Cos its not a lost sale, its like people demoing whatever it is and ending up buying it where they never would have if they didn't have the demo to try. So it creates a sale.
DariunCates, looking at my collection, I would likely never have purchased *any* of my BluRays had I not pirated the show beforehand (since I'd have never seen them to begin with). The anime industry has much more of my money courtesy of piracy than they ever would have received otherwise. Plus, much more of that money went to the actual studio and not subpar middlemen like CrunchyRoll.
@@duffman18 Care to cite your sources? I've heard that argument a hundred times, but I've never seen an actual reliable source for that assumption. On the other hand, for Indie companies (which do share numbers), I've seen a fairly consistent loss in sales when the game is easily pirated.

Netflix wants you to binge watch because it maximizes the amount of time you spend on Netflix. If you release shows gradually, people will only tune in every now and again for new episodes on the shows they want to see. Maybe they'll explore other shows after each episode, maybe they won't. However, if you dump entire seasons all at once, people will get accustomed to that and, rather than tuning in elsewhere or stepping away from the screen altogether, their next move upon finishing one show will be to find something else to binge. It is a conscious effort to shape the way audiences watch their content. That's why they don't like talking about it.
This is a double edged sword, however. If people binge watch, they'll behave like I do: subscribe for a couple months, watch the content they want, and then dump it. Come back a year later, watch the new stuff, dump it again. That's basically an 80% dip in revenue, for a company that's already hurtling towards bankruptcy or else being bought-out. If you drip-feed, or wait 6 months to drop something, or release half now and half later, it gives people less reason to drop their subscription, as it's less hassle to just hang around to wait for the next bit of content. That's why, I think, they're actually moving away from the binge concept
"No group is more accustomed to piracy than weebs" Ik Nick already explained why but I feel like this needs more attention. It is a really frustrating talking point, especially when legally watching anime, and reading manga/light novels is still a pain in the ass. Between Funimation and Crunchyroll there's still a lot of contention, especially because their business practices are being called into question near constantly. Manga is even more difficult to access legally, and light novel access here in the west is basically non existent, even with piracy.
More than an ethical problem,should be a quality problem, like early fansubs of shows just copy-pasted some shady script of the episode found online and translated with an inaccurate translator and called a day, also filling the entire screen info with useless crap like explaining japanese terms every 5 seconds. If you want to access media "legally" (studios get very little to no money from airing anyway) BUY MERCH, official merch, that's the actual way japanese entertainment industry makes money.
There’s only 2 times I actually pirate anime 1. When there is no way to watch it without paying money (blurays or a subscription service) 2. When I’m going to be in a place where there is no wifi or anything, I’ll occasionally take a few episodes to watch until I get back. If it’s on a subscription service I have and im at home, I will gladly watch it legally.
@@mrbigrig171 the thing is that there's a lot of arguments to why you shouldn't. Funimation and Crunchyroll have always been super shady and controversial, with really greedy and questionable business decisions. Like their translators are often paid less than a quarter of what they should reasonably be earning and how much they actually pay to the creators of the anime they air is murky and raises suspicion
@@MirunaNero while I do pirate anime exclusively, its only for situations where the anime in question hasn't released in the west or the official releases don't have subbed versions(which their are exceptions), as someone who loves to watch and collect media like this sometimes I resort to bootlegs if I want a physical copy and in many cases I still buy the official version more or less as compensation or respect even if I watch it a different way. Anyways onto Funimation and Crunchyroll while I don't and havnt used either I have heard many terrible things about them from their ads and terrible streaming to the insides of paying bare minimum to pretty much all employees
here's a fun bonus feature: try watching this video alongside the live chat replay from the premiere (start by heading to 0:00, then scroll up to the top and press the "Live Chat" button on mobile / the "Show Chat Replay" button on desktop). the chat's reaction to the twist made me basically die laughing
I don't think binge watching is the biggest problem of Netflix, the biggest problem is that with time some series just disappears, I don't really know for America but in France I remember Attack on titan and a lot of good anime disappearing.
That’s not Netflix’s fault. Netflix has to buy licencing in order to legally be allowed to stream a show. That’s why you pay for it. Sometimes, whoever they’re buying the licencing from (usually the original broadcaster) doesn’t want to renew the deal and they simply can’t broadcast shows they no longer have licencing for unless they want to get sued.
Every legal right comes with a legal responsibility with the exception of copyright. If Netflix is ignoring their IP responsibility then the fact people are ignoring their distribution rights is completely reasonable.

There is absolutely no moral dilemma to pirating anime. Using streaming sites, the producers make one cent out of the 10 dollars you give the site. You need to buy Blue-rays and merchandise instead. That's how studios live, not thanks to one cent from netflix or crunchyroll while they become rich.

I think binge watching should be a customer choice, not a provider forced choice, it's just bad customer service. I think it is perfectly reasonable seeking out where to watch, when they don't care to provide it to you.
A lot of people would argue that the classic method of releasing shows with singular weekly episodes is antiquated and frustrating. It's true that Netflix's binge culture can be grating, but the issue isn't having it all released together; it's when they hold back content which already exists elsewhere, as seen in this video. You can still choose to watch at your own pace when a whole season is released at once.
Netflix: we don't want you to binge watch our shows Also Netflix: we're gonna release all the episodes at once instead of weekly, so you have to binge watch

US Netflix has already been doing that forever.

Netflix doesn't have to compete with new media though. That was Blockbuster's final nail, they probably could have struggled along for longer than that (and technically they still sort of are (there's even still one brick and mortar left in Oregon) but I of course mean in a greater capacity).

Ah, Netflix, single handedly ensuring that Anime Torrents and Fan Dubs never go away completely. After Netflix did me dirty on Baki, and only released the first half of the season, months after the whole thing had aired, I don't think I can ever wait on them ever again.
This pisses me off because one of my favorite shows on Netflix is on season THIRTEEN in Canada and they released that over six months ago and Netflix still hasn’t released season ELEVEN 😭😭😭😭😭😭
At first, when MatPat said that Netflix was doomed, I felt sorry for them. Now, after seeing just how greedy and annoying they are, I feel satisfaction.
It's like when I was watching Baki on Netflix, everything was cool and fun but suddenly I ran out of episodes (13). I was like "uhh, I guess they are still making the episodes or something, i'll wait." but three days later my friend asked me "hey, did you finish watching baki already, i'm in the episode 18" he was watching the episodes in a pirate site while I was still waiting for more... it was really weird that me paying for the service I had to wait, meanwhile my friend was getting the episodes for free had to wait nothing. And i'm pretty sure Netflix will do the same with High score girl season 2.
Jeremy Testicleman Netflix “originals” are just shows Netflix has the exclusive rights to distribute online. E.G Little Witch Academia is a Netflix “original” despite existing before and Netflix having very little to do with the production. Another good example is Violet Evergarden, a show developed by Kyoto Animation based on a book that won their book prize, animated and produced independently of Netflix, and the marketed as an “original” work by Netflix. A lot of these IPs are independent franchises that Netflix really has no rights over other than distribution.

I think Netflix is starting to go down the same path as Blockbuster when they stopped keeping up with current consumer demand which ironically is how they were able to beat Blockbuster in the first place.
Especially since every company on the planet now has their own streaming service
I doubt it's gonna die, it still has more shows than the others and still has a shitload of money, they still have time to adapt.
@@ShadowWolfRising ain't gonna be a lot of them once Disney packs their things and goes away.

This kind of crappy behavior is exactly why pirating will always be something people are basicly forced to do.
The Australian Anime Community: First Time?
Netflix is literally the ONLY site I know that legally streams anime and I could probably count the non-original anime’s on it with one hand
Gabe Newell was right: piracy is mostly a service problem.
Zac Ross Crunchyroll? VRV? Funimation? Hulu? They all have anime.
AJ Rowan funimation has been caught changing words in the translation. crunchy roll makes their own anime instead of giving the money to the anime creators. And their service and applications is horrible to use to boot. Hulu is the same. And VRV lacks a lot of anime.
Also due to region issues quite a few anime aren't available. I tried to watch Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains in Australia and because of a stupid licensing thing with Channel 9, I had to pirate the show.
Piracy is “legal” in the US as long as the individual watching is not the one to distribute it. Not something people should do it, but it’s not a bad thing to know.
thats becuase if none seeds it dies. so they want pirates to help leech it to it's death.
We do that in México too.
Its not morally correct, i just dont care, legal sites offer crappy service
pirating is not bad if their aren’t any options left, at that point it’s the fault of the distributor of the game/show.
In third world countries (of which I am a member of) you can buy pirated movie at the corner of the street
Mario says : "You should respect companies and creators and pay for your anime, if you do not have enough patience to wait then watch said anime on another legal website."

Pirating a netflix show when you have a netflix subscription would be like pirating a game you bought on steam. Its not really pirating if you're technically paying it.
That's how I feel about it. You already paid for it. You're already supporting the creator. I own Blu-Rays for Lord of War and 47 Ronin, but they don't want to play in my Blu-Ray player (they're legit copies) so I just downloaded and watched them instead.
Way less morally questionable than downloading anime. You're allowed to have a backup copy. You're not required to be the person who *made* that backup copy.
i think the reason why they pirate it is for everyone else who does not want to pay or whatever
Kinda depends on the specifics of the platform. If you are paying for Spotify and choose to pirate your favorite artist's album and listen to it outside of Spotify, then Spotify doesn't give a fuck. Why would they, they still get your money. But guess who doesn't get the money? Your favorite artist. Spotify doesn't have to pay your favorite artist, because you didn't stream the music through Spotify. Spotify is still getting your 10 bucks per month, but now they just don't have to forward it to the artists. Hell, they even get the advantage of not having to store as much of your user data or expand their servers.
I don't know the monetization system of other services like Netflix, but there are similar ramifications. A show you like is on Netflix, but you choose to pirate it anyway. Netflix still gets your money, they don't care. But the show you like doesn't get your stream numbers. If a significant number of people are like you and choose to pirate something instead of watching on the intended platform, then the platform will see that the show is not performing well. If the platform has to pay to keep the license for that show, then they might drop the license or negotiate down the licensing fees, and now the makers of your favorite show are fucked. They might stop making the show, or they might stop putting the same amount of effort into the show because it's not bringing in the same amount of revenue.
I agree with what you're saying as far as non-streaming media is concerned, but paying for a streaming service is not the same thing as paying for or owning any of the content which is on that streaming service.
Actually I think this practice is technically protected by law here in the states. If you already own a product you are allowed to make/obtain as many digital copies as you want so long as A) you do not sell or give away said product, and B) you erase or get rid of any and all copies when you relinquish control of the original product (in this case, Canceling your netflix subscription).
Some times I have to pirate a game I already own on steam just to get it to work
You left one question open: WHY does Netflix strictly refrain from using the word binge?
It's because of negative associations with eating disorders. They are afraid to be construed as normalizing bulimia, or even binge drinking, and so they are distancing themselves from the term. In addition one could argue that binge-ing anything is a form of addiction and they obviously would like to avoid being labeled as actively encouraging an addictive behavior. It's why Netflix does the whole binge watch thing in the first place. Because it can be addictive, its increases their retention numbers and is good for their bottom line.

This situation somewhat mimics my experience with the Mandalorian series on Disney+. It released back in 2019 for the US, but here in the UK we couldn't legally watch it until the 24th of March. Not only was the whole show spoilt over that period, but when we finally got it... they forced the one-episode a week system into place. I personally enjoy a week to week episode system, what I don't like is being made to wait 6-months while a show is spoiled, then to only have to sit through an artificial watch-a-long. It's like they wanted you to go out and use 3rd parties to access it.
I felt bad for UK people during that whole situation
It wasn't released here in Poland too, but it never will.

Right when I heard "but... Netflix Japan..." I knew it was gonna be advertised by NordVPN (or by another VPN, it's just the most common one)
I honestly prefer week by week releases. I realized this when Disney+ started releasing shows. I think, especially for a newer fan base, it brings fans together better. People can make and share theories and make jokes that could be ruined by later episodes. And its a nice thing to look forward to every week.
agreed!
While I agree with you, and the week by week discussions with firends about the last episode are very enjoyable, Disney should've at least released it's originals as a whole season when Disney+ arrived to new countries.
I pirated the Mandalorian because there was no legal way for me to watch it, I have friends that decided to wait a year until the service was available in Mexico, it gets here and then, a year old show, that had been subbed and dubbed for months, came as a weekly release
Being part of a weekly seasonal community discussing and following shows as they premiere is such an integral part of the anime community, and the way netflix straight up fights against that is always going to be a strike against them as a platform to consume anime.

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable." - Gabe Newell

@Malachai Carter what's DRM?
@@aurorasowerbii digital rights management
@@aurorasowerbii Digital Rights Management. Think of Denuvo, a company that works with major game publishers to make pirating their games extra difficult, and you should get an idea of what it is. There are arguments for and against DRM, but the general consensus is that it's a mostly anti-consumer practice as pirates have no problem getting rid of it while the people who legitimately pay are left with an inferior product. In terms of gaming, games with DRM patched in can struggle with performance problems and some require you to always be online, even if the game is meant to be singleplayer. DRM was way worse before digital marketplaces were more popular, with CD Keys, limits on how many computers you could install a game on, and more invasive DRM that slowed down both your game and your computer being frequent practices. In terms of streaming services, you have issues like the one outlined in this video.
@@vaudevillain_2 It's essentially why EA had such a huge problem with piracy when SimCity came out. The DRM was so invasive yet unreliable that the only way to reliably play the game is to pirate it. If you bought a legal copy you would constantly be dropped from the game, losing all of your progress simply because their servers were unreliable, that way one of the "features" of trying to be honest and actually respect EA's property rights. With a cracked copy that wasn't an issue, you never had to worry about putting several hours of work into your city only to be booted to the main menu and lose all of that progress simply because EA had unreliable servers.

“DO WHAT YOU WANT ‘CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE! YOU ARE A PIRATE!”
But seriously, I say if the company isn’t giving you a legal option, they have no one to blame but themselves if you choose to pirate
True. And media companies somehow got to the point where they thought, or maybe just thought that they could convince people, that if you see or listen to something without paying for it, it is a lost profit for them. Well.. no. All the time that record stores existed, you could listen to an album in the store - and then not buy it - because you heard what it had to offer, and it wasn't for you. If it was for you however, you would actually buy it. I have a huge DVD collection, and it is thanks to the ability to pirate. Sure, I watched a lot more than I bought, but it is no different from the record store phenomenon. The company would never have gotten my money, anyways, for the movies that I did not buy. Yet, somehow they go to courts, pretending that they lost a sale.
And lets not forget about all the purchases they gain from people watching/listening for free, becoming walking talking, free, billboards, - as they talk to people about what they saw and heard. These media companies should just sit down and thank people for not suing them for not paying for advertising for them.

Raden Truman This quote doesn’t apply to all people who pirate stuff, but it does apply to the majority. I know this for a fact.
Given that there are now multiple streaming sites that can cost anywhere between 5-20 bucks a month for service to legally stream anime, I think it's time for these media streaming services to evolve. Clearly people will pay for service when the media they want is easy to find and stream in good quality. It's just nowadays the market is so fractured that it's not only far more difficult to find the right sites with the right IPs, you have to pay for the service and remember to cancel it before the next billing cycle if that's all you wanted.
Newell was 100% correct that defeating pirates is a service problem. Piracy drops when you make the convenience and the product worth paying for.
Piracy is not the same as stealing a fridge. Files are knowledge, not objects. They should be shared freely.
The real problem, I think, is copyright. If anything was shared freely, people would support whoever they like, and we wouldn't have to deal with greedy distributors shenanigans.

Piracy is only unethical when there's a lost sale, and even then it could be argued it's ethically justifiable if the business in question is doing anticompetitive or anticonsumer practices and will reap a large profit anyways. That being said I generally buy all my media anyways unless it's like 2 decades old and out of print anyways.
100% not true. Piracy doesn't need to "lose a sale" to do damage to an industry.
Firstly, an increased amount of piracy makes it more common which makes it easier for people where it can be lost sale. The increase in piracy also crushes smaller competitors that can't afford piracy protections. This means that you're often helping solidify the monopoly of companies you intend to punish. If you look at the game industry, this is why SEVERAL indie games have straight up been destroyed by piracy.
Secondly, the "no lost sale" idea isn't always accurate. Special pleading insures that a good amount of people will tell themselves they wouldn't have paid for a product when they would have.
Thirdly, there is basically no respected ethics model where doing an unethical thing to punish an unethical thing is ethical. That action is, at best, neutral. Often though, you're providing a strong moral argument for the companies you intend to punish.
Finally, in the case of anime, specifically, a lot of the piracy sites do specifically make money off your information and since they're a black market, they don't really have to have a TOS to protect your data in any reasonable way. So, when you use a certain russian site, you're actually funding sime illicit activities you might not want to, and you're giving away free information.
That isn't to say there aren't times where piracy is justified. Game developers will often say that, "if there's no other way to play my game, then go ahead." That's the big difference though. There has to be no legal way to consume the product first. Not expensive. Nonexistent. At that point, piracy can help bring demand to a product. That's pretty much the line though.
That said, the Little Witch Academia example is STILL a gray area. It technically is a case where you had no other option, but you would if you waited. There's no real indication of when or even if things will release. Netflix drops things all the time.
So, I don't think Nick was in the wrong here. I am glad he didn't just assume he was justified though.
Aren't there studies that show piracy actually increases sales? Cos its not a lost sale, its like people demoing whatever it is and ending up buying it where they never would have if they didn't have the demo to try. So it creates a sale.
DariunCates, looking at my collection, I would likely never have purchased *any* of my BluRays had I not pirated the show beforehand (since I'd have never seen them to begin with). The anime industry has much more of my money courtesy of piracy than they ever would have received otherwise. Plus, much more of that money went to the actual studio and not subpar middlemen like CrunchyRoll.
@@duffman18 Care to cite your sources? I've heard that argument a hundred times, but I've never seen an actual reliable source for that assumption.

Now THIS is how you do sponsored content. Well done, man.
Like this?
The only good NordVPN sponsor segment.
Netflix wants you to binge watch because it maximizes the amount of time you spend on Netflix. If you release shows gradually, people will only tune in every now and again for new episodes on the shows they want to see. Maybe they'll explore other shows after each episode, maybe they won't. However, if you dump entire seasons all at once, people will get accustomed to that and, rather than tuning in elsewhere or stepping away from the screen altogether, their next move upon finishing one show will be to find something else to binge. It is a conscious effort to shape the way audiences watch their content. That's why they don't like talking about it.
This is a double edged sword, however. If people binge watch, they'll behave like I do: subscribe for a couple months, watch the content they want, and then dump it. Come back a year later, watch the new stuff, dump it again. That's basically an 80% dip in revenue, for a company that's already hurtling towards bankruptcy or else being bought-out.
If you drip-feed, or wait 6 months to drop something, or release half now and half later, it gives people less reason to drop their subscription, as it's less hassle to just hang around to wait for the next bit of content.
That's why, I think, they're actually moving away from the binge concept
@@p0rq They had better.
@@p0rq You are the only person who does that. You might be short on money or don't watch content that much. Almost everyone stays subscribed.
I barely binge watch shows any more, unless the show is exceptional
I binge something then don't comeback for weeks until there is something else to binge watch. I mostly watch hulu and as a "traditional" tv service.
Wow, I've never seen such a deep level of sponsorship integration lol. Great video!
"No group is more accustomed to piracy than weebs" Ik Nick already explained why but I feel like this needs more attention. It is a really frustrating talking point, especially when legally watching anime, and reading manga/light novels is still a pain in the ass. Between Funimation and Crunchyroll there's still a lot of contention, especially because their business practices are being called into question near constantly. Manga is even more difficult to access legally, and light novel access here in the west is basically non existent, even with piracy.
More than an ethical problem,should be a quality problem, like early fansubs of shows just copy-pasted some shady script of the episode found online and translated with an inaccurate translator and called a day, also filling the entire screen info with useless crap like explaining japanese terms every 5 seconds.
If you want to access media "legally" (studios get very little to no money from airing anyway) BUY MERCH, official merch, that's the actual way japanese entertainment industry makes money.
There’s only 2 times I actually pirate anime
1. When there is no way to watch it without paying money (blurays or a subscription service)
2. When I’m going to be in a place where there is no wifi or anything, I’ll occasionally take a few episodes to watch until I get back.
If it’s on a subscription service I have and im at home, I will gladly watch it legally.
@@mrbigrig171 the thing is that there's a lot of arguments to why you shouldn't. Funimation and Crunchyroll have always been super shady and controversial, with really greedy and questionable business decisions. Like their translators are often paid less than a quarter of what they should reasonably be earning and how much they actually pay to the creators of the anime they air is murky and raises suspicion
@@MirunaNero while I do pirate anime exclusively, its only for situations where the anime in question hasn't released in the west or the official releases don't have subbed versions(which their are exceptions), as someone who loves to watch and collect media like this sometimes I resort to bootlegs if I want a physical copy and in many cases I still buy the official version more or less as compensation or respect even if I watch it a different way. Anyways onto Funimation and Crunchyroll while I don't and havnt used either I have heard many terrible things about them from their ads and terrible streaming to the insides of paying bare minimum to pretty much all employees
@@dragonmaster3030 y e p... also unwarranted edits and unneeded censorship.
here's a fun bonus feature: try watching this video alongside the live chat replay from the premiere (start by heading to 0:00, then scroll up to the top and press the "Live Chat" button on mobile / the "Show Chat Replay" button on desktop). the chat's reaction to the twist made me basically die laughing
Saw this after i finished the video, rip
So I went to japan....
good thing i don´t check coments early, would probably spoil the plot twist
I feel like you dance around a much bigger issue here, namely that exclusive content leads to bad service.
I don't get it but *_OK!_*
I don't think binge watching is the biggest problem of Netflix, the biggest problem is that with time some series just disappears, I don't really know for America but in France I remember Attack on titan and a lot of good anime disappearing.
unacceptable, I'm dreadfully sorry
Canada's worest driver dispersed from the sit a wile ago
Same in Australia. They took of full metal alchemist and brotherhood
That’s not Netflix’s fault. Netflix has to buy licencing in order to legally be allowed to stream a show. That’s why you pay for it. Sometimes, whoever they’re buying the licencing from (usually the original broadcaster) doesn’t want to renew the deal and they simply can’t broadcast shows they no longer have licencing for unless they want to get sued.
baguette ui ui
Every legal right comes with a legal responsibility with the exception of copyright. If Netflix is ignoring their IP responsibility then the fact people are ignoring their distribution rights is completely reasonable.
Genius

You're kidding it's fucking *free* it's 2019 nearly 2020 we should be long past this regional lock, the more services use them the more they will see their consumers dropping like flies in order to find better services or just pirate.

The customer is in no way always right but inconvenience an entire group over & over again and you can say bye bye part of your paycheck, they'll be taking their business elsewhere. I'm exaggerating a bit but since I know these aren't the _only_ Netflix shows but you've gotta be kidding me 6 months then another 3 months....

There is absolutely no moral dilemma to pirating anime. Using streaming sites, the producers make one cent out of the 10 dollars you give the site.
You need to buy Blue-rays and merchandise instead. That's how studios live, not thanks to one cent from netflix or crunchyroll while they become rich.
Every penny counts......... If you can give them a penny do so, its better than nothing
@@yurix5332 But it's pointless to jump through hoops and give money to companies with bad business practices. Support the Japanese artists directly, and make the streaming services see that people won't pay for subpar services

i think Netflix should release shows week by week. especially for big shows like stranger things. it’d build up hype and a conversation.
i completely agree!! i cut it out of the final video, but i actually had a whole part about how Stranger Things would feel like a way bigger ‘event’ if it came out over the course of 8 weeks, rather than just a small blip on our collective cultural radar that we all forget about after a couple days
That's what I've said too. Plus, if you take a longer time to watch a series you have more time to digest it and think about it
this is the longest ad for a VPN service I've ever seen, and I loved it.
I think binge watching should be a customer choice, not a provider forced choice, it's just bad customer service.
I think it is perfectly reasonable seeking out where to watch, when they don't care to provide it to you.
A lot of people would argue that the classic method of releasing shows with singular weekly episodes is antiquated and frustrating. It's true that Netflix's binge culture can be grating, but the issue isn't having it all released together; it's when they hold back content which already exists elsewhere, as seen in this video. You can still choose to watch at your own pace when a whole season is released at once.
Netflix: we don't want you to binge watch our shows
Also Netflix: we're gonna release all the episodes at once instead of weekly, so you have to binge watch
We only just got s3 of Rick and morty

US Netflix has already been doing that forever. Usually shows that don't get brought to US Netflix right away have copyright issues or royalties issues that haven't been resolved, and sometimes the original airing TV station bakes it into their contracts that the show can't be uploaded in certain regions outside of their own until it's all aired locally.
I don't care if people pirate, in 2006-2017 I was used to watching my favorite anime on TH-cam in 1/4 size and terrible audio quality it was this or potentially get a virus. I now don't care if people pirate.

Netflix doesn't have to compete with new media though. That was Blockbuster's final nail, they probably could have struggled along for longer than that (and technically they still sort of are (there's even still one brick and mortar left in Oregon) but I of course mean in a greater capacity).

Jeremy Testicleman Netflix “originals” are just shows Netflix has the exclusive rights to distribute online. E.G Little Witch Academia is a Netflix “original” despite existing before and Netflix having very little to do with the production. Another good example is Violet Evergarden, a show developed by Kyoto Animation based on a book that won their book prize, animated and produced independently of Netflix, and the marketed as an “original” work by Netflix. A lot of these IPs are independent franchises that Netflix really has no rights over other than distribution.
