CrunchyRoll
Well, I finally created an account for Crunchy tonight. Of course, a free account on crunchy is only slightly better than a free account on netflix. (You can technically watch an episode or two here and there.)
I'll probably buy a yearly megafan sub for it later this weekend which will cost me about 100 bucks or so. It'll be cheaper than Netflix and it's 15+ bucks/month they want to charge me nowadays at the very least. Plus it'll have a lot more shows I'll want to watch.
Browsing the site, I can see a bunch of series I'd like to see at first glance, and those will likely take up my time for the first couple of months. After that I'll probably start going down the anime alphabetically except when new shows I want to watch get added (new seasons, etc).
Ultimately though this will likely save me a lot of cash since I tend to buy dvds and blurray/dvd combos of seasons. (Both for shows I know I want to watch, as well as random shows that look like it might be interesting.)
Sunrise Records is going to lose some cash that's for sure, given that's where I usually buy anime locally. They haven't been getting a lot in lately for series I'm waiting on though. To be fair, even if I watch a show I like on crunchy, I'll probably end up buying it on disc so long as they offer a proper package. I typically don't buy blu-ray only. I buy dvd-only at times, particularly for older shows, but most of the time I expect blu-ray/dvd combos. If I get blu-ray only, it's usually when they offer it cheap - like less than 30 bucks minimum. I've only broken that personal rule maybe 2-3 times over the last decade.
