It becoming legit was a fucking mistake. It only became a legal option in what...2012 or something?

Looks like 2008, man, been awhile. I don't know, I kinda think it's a good story, a company saw a pirate site doing what it could be doing only better and instead of shutting it down, reached out and worked with them. Our alternative if crunchyroll wasn't around would probably have been funimation being the streaming anime top dog too which feels like a darker timeline.

I mean, the other alternative would be to have no official releases, which opens up its own can of worms.
