Twitch and Crunchyroll to stream five-day anime marathon

By Brian Fagioli

Anime is quite popular nowadays, not only with children, but adults too. Actually, some of the cartoons can have grown-up themes, making them inappropriate for kids. The Japanese animation is not just seen in TV shows and movies, but the characters are featured on merchandise and in video games too. The wildly popular Pokémon, for instance, is anime. Fans of this genre buy items such as figurines, clothing, and, sometimes, creepy body pillows too. Microsoft has even designated July to be "Anime Month" in its online store.

To celebrate the art of anime, popular Amazon-owned steaming service Twitch has partnered with American content-distributor Crunchyroll for a special viewing marathon. For five straight days, users will be able to watch anime content while chatting with others about what they are viewing. In other words, Twitch is making the act of watching anime communal, rather than private.

"The Crunchyroll anime marathon will feature episodes from series such as Yuri on Ice, Mob Psycho 100, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, and Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers. The marathon begins on July 27 at 3:30 pm PT and will run until August 1st. The full programming schedule will be revealed on July 21," says Twitch.

Annie Berrones, Director of Emerging Content Marketing, Twitch explains, "Anime content on Twitch always sparks a lot of positive feedback from our community given how gaming and anime culture have borrowed a lot from each other. By partnering with Crunchyroll for our first ever anime marathon and featuring more than 15 different series over the course of five days, we will be able to tap into this passion of our community in a much more robust fashion than ever before."

If you are interested in watching the marathon, you can do so here starting Thursday, July 27. While Twitch has shared a small sampling of the content that will be shown, it will be revealing the full schedule this Friday. What is some of the anime programming that you are hoping to see?

Ice Poseidon and Tyler1 are my favorite streamers.

didn't that nigger wreck his wife's PC rig and yell at her at twitch con

I've been meaning to ask, is his name actually Fagioli?
Sage for off-topic

Didn't people bitch that Crunchyroll was downgrading the quality of the anime they streamed that it was worse quality for paying customers than what you could pirate for free?

It's literally just a Crunchyroll promotion akin to when Twitch streamed The Joy of Painting, Julia Child, and Power Rangers.
This does not require a thread on Holla Forums.

Is this guy real or another collective superstition like Aristotle or Jesus?

Leave this place you heinous pagan

...

Breathtaking observation there, but you're a few decades off the mark, you fat fuck.

I HAVE A HUGE REQUEST
DRAWFAGS, WRITEFAGS AND EETISHTASTIC FSMUTFAGS. GET THE /FUCK/ IN HERE.

Alright, so. I want you guys to illustrate and write the nastiest fucking doujin that man has ever seen. Have Mark, Nintendrew, SomeCallMeJohnny, Brian Fagioli and R.O.Bfag fuck each other in the hardest, most violent, slimiest, sluttiest most painstakingly passionate way that ANYONE in the history of mankind has EVER seen. I'm talking about a fullblown fucking fuck saga here.
The highest detail, rawest pornography man has EVER witnesses. The fine detail to the butthole creases, saliva trail, cumshots, anal rimming, farting, intoxication, oxygen deprivation, musky anuses and face shitting. Make them THICK, so fucking thick you won't be able to resist masturbating to them all. Make mark the bottom then have him become frustrated and taking the lead and R.O.Bfag forces him to choke on his cock as HE himself gets his ass eaten out by Johnny, while HE is pounding the fuck out of mark and jerking his 3 inch microdick.

Alright, Nintendrew is wearing a ballgag and tortured by cock, getting it squeezed, flicked and pinch as his face is red and he is sweaty, only to have worms inside his urethra and an electric eel in his asshole. These are just the first parts, the later parts get more intense as they help transport illegal asian children to the USA, to give them sergury and make them real life shota, forced development and all.

I'm counting on you guys, good luck!

Make me

Actual faggots on ice

It's fine.

A good-to-mediocre adaptation that got seriously fucked by the dub. Look no further than Quetzalcoatl, the most chill NEUTRAL titty monster goddess to airheaded passive-aggressive Valley cunt.

Edgiest shit about edgy unlikeable fuckers except for the white-haired chick.

Also
Fuck no, you watch it with 1-2 people TOPS, or else it becomes like any other normalfag activity with someon wanting to become the funny clown, the one that doesn't stop talking, the one that keeps asking WHY THIS, WHY THAT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND, the Jojo/meme faggot who tries to compare everything or inserting his flavor of the season into the series they're watching, etc.

It's going to be dub only isn't it?

...

It'd be surprising if it weren't. And of course there will be shills in the chat praising these perfect voice actors and their supreme timing and ``adaptation`` from Japanese jokes and references to timeless memes and puns.

I can wait for them to praise the progressive DragonMaid for talking shit against the patriarchy.

This, it's illegal to download anime for free, but watching it through some shitty site for free is somehow not. It makes no sense.

Fuck me I'm too drunk.

I thought it was your average mediocre-to-serviceable dub, but that shit was retarded. Even worse that this is the version so many people will prefer or listen to because 1)they're lazy cunts who don't want to read subtitles and/or 2)they're cucks who welcome this shit.

They're making money off of it somehow that they use to pay the studio.

What were you thinking of, prison school?

Dubbing is pure cancer. Either read subs or learn nip, dubs have never brought anything of value to anime. Honestly I can't wait for the anime fad to pass and for these retards to move onto their next thing.

You don't have a copy of the material, so you aren't doing anything wrong. It's weird, but it's probably easier to target the weed itself rather than go after all the seeds it let loose.

I like how people pretend japanese voice acting is anything other than incredibly grating and childish.

I like how goons who only watch moeshit pretend dubbing makes anime any better.

goons watch anime

It's better than listening to some 20~ Ashley Burch wannabe.

Everything about Cruncyroll as a service is bad. Anime is by far the easiest kind of video to compress yet they over compress everything to the point it looks blocky to save on bandwidth. The translations are also subpar given the dual release. They often shit out something terrible and fix it a week or so later if you're lucky. Worse part is it killed the fansub scene, very few good fansubs groups remain. Most rip their material from cruncyroll and re-release it. Almost no one hunts down a decent raw, does a fan translation, type sets, encodes, and distributes true fansubs anymore. There are maybe one or two groups that still do it the old way last I checked.

I WANT TO CUM INSIDE THE DRAGON LOLI

I'll take grating and childish than some cunt trying really hard to sound cute or cool.
I'll take grating and childish than people forcing politics or social issues where they weren't any.

nah the good ones are just waiting for blu-ray now and dropping Hi10p rips

No, go fuck yourself /a/.

What a surprise.

...

amazing argument weebshit

A part of me wishes that maybe they'd be doing this sort of thing for older good but under-appreciated shows to give them another chance. On the other hand, I'm not sure Crunchyroll's viewerbase ought to be given more of a vector into the fanbases for those series. Regardless, I suppose services like this are more prone to stick with newer shows for marathons, or at least ones being brought overseas just recently, to capitalize on them being new or even ""first time in English" series, depending on the circumstances. But I don't use them, so I'm not sure if a marathon like these are par for the course, or if they also do so for older series.


There's a handful English anime dubs that I'd say are actually pretty damn good. Hellsing Ultimate, for example (which also has the benefit of being set in Europe anyhow). But yeah, usually Japanese audio with subs are going to be better quality, though of course, even then it's prone to varying quality with subtitled translations, both from official releases and fan-subs.

...

Oh boy, I can't wait to watch a bunch of dubbed seasonal anime with a bunch of insufferable memespouting faggots! Oh wait, I don't use Twitch because I'm neither homosexual nor underage.

What does this have to do with Holla Forums again?

...

I'd make a joke about them using Holla Forums threads as a launching point for their apparent investigation, but even then I'd think the debate over whether liking traps is gay or not would clue them in that "maybe these aren't girls after all". Then again, it's not like MSM can into proper research of internet cultures and their terminology to begin with. Even stuff like abbreviations used with phone text messaging are stupidly foreign to them and has caused coverage of them to jump to deranged conclusions as to the meanings that parents should know.

...

I'm starting to really hate memes and anime, non chan communities have really insufferable weaboos.

Weebs go through amazing amounts of cognitive dissonance to make arguments other than "my dick like this", since there hasn't been many worthwhile animes since the turn of the century.

...

And that's about all I have to say about that.

For as long as I can remember, the media has always approached things like the Internet and games the same way my parents or grandparents did have: they just didn't fucking get it. If you tried to expose them to it they still wouldn't get it, or care for that matter. They just kind of put up with it and only brought it up when it was convenient for them, typically when they needed to blame them for something they couldn't really make a rational argument for.

Of course i say that, but the only anime i really want to watch dubbed is Ace Attorney, flavor of the month moe shit does absolutely nothing for me regardless of if it's subs or not.


That would require Crunchyroll finding a company that's willing to dub anything particularly old, which unless it's something like One Piece, usually doesn't happen because they don't think it's profitable, and the ones that used to do this went into bankruptcy years ago(rip geneon)

...

Perhaps it's for the best really. On one hand, if they at least put the effort into doing a proper report and analysis, the people they're covering might have more respect for them. On the other hand, the way they tend to handle these things (IE: poorly), it comes off as damn laughable to anyone that knows better, and at worst leaves them looking fucking deranged. "Alt-right frog cult uses secret code of sexist, racist, & homophobic slurs" appears on the banner of your supposedly accurate news reporting? That should rightly seem insane to anyone with more than a few functioning brain-cells. Hell, it's even reminiscent of Shillary's campaign having decided that Pepe and Kek posting by Trump supporting net-Nazis was enough of a threat to devote space on their website about how afraid you should be. Something like that just prompts an "are you fucking daft?" response at how outlandish it sounds when the person spewing it wants it to be taken seriously.


I meant more for anime that had already been brought over in English years back, but hadn't gotten much attention, either due to how they were distributed here (compare airing on a regular channel, to a special subscription one like ADV used to do), or bad airing frame with more popular competing shows. They could likely ask whoever's holding the rights currently to borrow the series for marathoning, if they don't already have distribution rights for it to begin with. I'm just saying since usually, unless the original English version was considered very poor in voicing or script, usually shows aren't prone to see an official redub, so they'd be stuck for better or worse with what already exists for those.

Was actually thinking of one of the shows they handled when I had written that, really.

This thread must be for collecting angry shouting webms.

Open everything from bottom to front except and experience the long deep tea time of the soul.

I stopped watching anime after it became a normalfag pass time. I stick to manga now, which is getting to normalfag statues.

This is a level of hipster I cannot comprehend.

I stopped caring somewhen around 1999 and sputnik ceasing to be a purveyor of amazing top tier animu.

Not really, most normalfags don't have the patience (read: autism) to penetrate print media, Manga actually has some quality in it, unlike anime, though.

May as well play Free!
Good pick, people liked One-Punch Man.
I'm happy they'd go with a comedy slice of life, especially such a good one.
That was my jam.
Standard-ish fantasy where 6 are chosen by divine providence every some odd years to fight an A-typical ancient evil.
7 of them show up to the meet & greet.
1 of them is a secret asshole who locked them all into a magic forest.

Sadly I think they're going to shy away from all of the evocative ones, but at the same time they probably aren't going to play anything like Twin Star Exorcist or Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS.

No, faggot. Kill yourself, how about you cuck out cuck improperly as well? You kikes are the reason I hate talking about film too.

How about you learn english before trying to tell someone to kill themselves.

Horror manga is kinda the only one I put effort into and follow. As for being a "hipster" about anime, weebshit is weebshit. Get over it normalfag.

You should check out Caketrap– he's Twitchs #1 White Supremacist vidyah player.

See for the quality of what people are going to get from the English dub of it (assuming they're going with that instead of subs, but it strikes me that even those might be fucked as well).

Why are you still alive, ESL? Don't you have a fence to hop and traffic to inconvenience. I smell a hot-blooded retard non-white from a mile away. You have been salted.

what did he mean by this?

Aye, I'll maybe look into the horror stuff since that's all dead on the western front.

I find it funny they say anime is ok to put on twitch despite once I used twitch to try to stream some fucking Gundam 0080 with friends on Christmas. The anime they're gonna show is gonna be all dubbed shit or generic crap.

Dragon Maid was the shittiest of its season and it's fan became the bronies of /a/

Probably the fact you are a meme shitting queer that weren't there when the bomb hit. What I am calling you, is an absolute sun dress wearing newfag foreigner. Eurotrash, sub-American, absolute semite. It doesn't really matter but I know you are not my kind.

Yeah, I mean the selection is limited and I just started about last year digging into it. Some cool stuff.

Why are you posting this on Holla Forums? Since when is anime vidya?
And don't give me the "Twitch is a vidya streaming website" excuse. Twitch has long since branched off into other things.

I am sad now.
Haven't felt like this since I learned Johnny Young Bosch would be the voice for Jonathan Joestar.
I really liked Little Witch Academia.
Saw that it was on netflix.
Figured the dub couldn't be that bad.
It was cancer, they didn't even fucking try.
I believe good VAs do exist, mostly in videogames, professional actors in animated films who just act in front of a microphone.
But seeing anime get the same localization treatment as vidya is abominable.

damn good thing that netflix at least lets you change the voice language user.

There's certainly an issue to be had with anime, and games as well, reusing the same English voices over and over, as well as pigeonholing them into particular voices/tones (despite some offering a decent range of what they can do) just because a prior character voice they did was popular and that's the only voice anyone hiring them wants. But there's also the issues of poor direction and poor budget. Poor direction can make otherwise decent voices flop at properly expressing the scripts for the characters. Poor budget can result in a "you get what you pay for" dub, as I recall was the issue with the Wii game Arc Rise Fantasia (something about whoever was in charge of money only budgeting a couple grand for the English voicing). Granted, that latter point's not to say that voice actors ought to be paid as much as if not better than the developers themselves, or whatever the VA strike has been about, but merely that money involved is still a factor towards effort put out (and there ought to be balance).

And then there's cases like Prison School and Dragonmaid up there where it's not just the English voicing that might be a problem, but also the actual scripts the voice actors are having to read. What should be a proper translation, hopefully as accurate to the original in script and voicing tone as can be managed, just becomes a vector for whoever's translating or editing for it at Funimation (or other studios) to push their liberal agenda onto the viewer.

how fucking could they
dubs have always been bad, and it's like they found the one way to make them worse
it's a form of punishment

Go look at any discussion involving JoJo's Bizarre Adventure thread and say that again.

I am well aware, but that's like saying because harry potter exists all books are now tainted.

...

More that it's a vector for the translator/editor to push their agenda. Sadly a number of companies out there, both anime and vidya, seem to treat the works they get as something to be rewritten rather than handled with respect and accuracy. Like Working Designs and their current incarnation, Gaijinworks.

Speaking of companies related to handling anime in the west, just how many of them are there these days? Funimation, Shounen Jump, and NISA's anime branch seem to be the big ones, but are there much, if any other left? I know a number of older ones that used to be around have died over the years (ADV, Geneon, etc).

...

All the popular books are now tainted. OPM, Dragon Maid, SAO, SnK and KlK are all series that have obnoxious faggots as their fanbase.

...

What the fuck are they talking about? I assume they're talking about Roundabout. What used the song?

I mean you're not wrong, but most popular things are like this


Why is everything so political now? From both sides.

Both sides? I haven't really seen much from the right, in terms of media and such, except for the conservative news outlets. It seems to me mostly celebrities who fooled themselves into thinking their opinions were somehow worth more than anyone else, as well as the usual progressives getting into positions of power to hire other progressives.

They're either talking about Roundabout or Walk Like An Egyptian. One is tied to a meme and the other is linked to the series normalfags recognize the most, so it could go either way.

If that isn't enough for you, Ashly Burch has gotten in on the dubs for Steins;Gate and SnK. There's also the Dragon Maid and Prison School political bullshit, which shows that Sjews see enough popularity in the subject to push their politics into it.

...

Pretty sure it's roundabout, and they are reacting to the show itself using it. It's a "meme song" because they've only ever seen it used in ebin to be continued vines and shit.

Normalfags only like trash like Attack on Titan. The more otaku-focused anime like Eromanga Sensei and New Game scares the fuck out of them.

...

He's right, they don't. doesn't make them any less trash though

They don't, unless you seem to think anitwitter autists count as normalfags. Lay off social media and you can enjoy things again.

This user tells the truth.

Just end my life already.

That's still around, kind of, it's been split up into multiple companies, but the most pertinent one would be Sentai filmworks, Tokyopop's kinda still around, they've been trying to get into a resurgance for awhile, but it hasn't really happened yet, lets see, there's also Viz, and Ocean Studios, which has been working with Viz on some shit, and a random jap card company to produce a dub to this really boring card game, what's it called, Cardfight vanguard, i think. Crazy thing is they for whatever reason only air it on youtube and skip certain seasons for no reason, other than i guess they weren't paid to do so. A big up and comer, i think, would be Discotek, they don't really do dubs too much, they generally tend to pick up licenses and do reprints with dual audio whenever possible, but they have dipped their toes into that shit, with the Lupin series, hiring an original cast for a movie, then getting back a good chunk of the Geneon cast for a TV series.

for games, aside from the normal bunch you have Gaijinworking designs, but they've been slipping HARD, like, aside from the script shit that makes weebs do an autistic screech without fail, they can't even produce a decent sounding dub to save their lives, if they even include a dub at all. The insulting part though is that they still charge people 5-15 bucks more than retail for that shit.

Companies like Funimation are slipping in SJW shit because they want anime to become more socially acceptable and gain the "pop geek" crowd that infested comics and video games. Anime popularity never lasts, most normalfags that take an interest eventually get offended or disappointed and then they fuck off. Some stick around just to cry about the industry being dead because they never got more Cowboy Bebop or whatever shit they saw on toonami in college, others just bitch about weebs and insult them because they're above it all in their minds.
Funimation will only maintain an audience of retards at best, and anime will never be popular. This cycle has repeated for decades. Anime is too weird for the western audience.

yes isn't really any good anyway

...

get some taste in music that isn't your dads

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH YES IS PURE

We've got a live one

Oh, almost forgot, (((Saban))) was making Digimon episdes for quite awhile, but last i heard of them they stopped after xross wars season 2 and didn't want to continue any further, and toei themselves were handling the movies, and 4Kids still lives, but now it's 4Konami, and they do nothing but produce Yu-Gi-Oh dubs all day every day now.

You're right, true patricians only listen to anime OSTs and melodic metalcore.

stop getting mad, fragile is also a shit album with 1 good song, an actual 1/9, beyond mediocre

kys

This is the part where you say you were only pretending to be retarded

back to cuckchan my friend.

I found it a bit funny that, after watching an older 2005 series a while back, I saw some people in reviews for it whining that it wasn't Cowboy Bebop or Trigun, as if for some reason they expected it to be the same just because the premise of it was western in nature.

I see, thanks for the information. For some reason Viz had slipped my mind.

I'm not gonna murder you, but I will help you commit suicide.

Today, I will remind them.

Kids these days.

Jesus. Hilary Clinton confirmed for browsing Holla Forums I guess.

your dad showed you this and thought it was good, you did too

Why's he such a Fagioli?

...

If only normalfags could switch from videogames to anime. I mostly watch old anime anyways, so they couldn't ruin my shows too bad. Good videogames could come out more regularly again if all the "throw my money at the screen" normalfags and me leave. There's no way they actually enjoy the 10s of empty open worlds, light RPG elements, QTEs, and 'intense story cutscenes' that will never be as good as just watching an action movie.

meme game YT streamers* not me
