Works on Wii U too, although I only use it for shows not on Crunchyroll.
What's not to stand? It's a video player that works like every other streaming website with a video player, except it has an app on most devices.

The times I tried it the steaming wasnt that great using the app and my chrome cast. Plus Comercial unless I go pro. Would rather torrent and watch at full 1080p with no commercials and no reliability on stream buffer
I stopped torrenting Anime because it was just taking up too much storage and I very rarely want to watch an anime again, I still have like 5 TB of anime from the 00s and early 10s I need to delete. There are a few exceptions (the best ones) that I have downloaded and kept.

Not really their fault, it's just licensing agreements. Crunchyroll is the best site I've found so far. Between them and Funimation you can stream just about everything each season. I hardly torrent at all anymore.

They have a licensing agreement to block their forums and news, and give a giant splash screen about it every time I go to their website because I live in Japan?
I'd understand if they were just blocking their content but they go above and beyond.

Well they are just trying to let the anime companies know that they (crunchyroll) are doing everything in their power to uphold the licensing agreements. Otherwise those greedy japanese will just say fuck you, you fuck with our dvd sales!
Plus i'm sure the amount of ppl who want crunchyroll in Japan is minimal aside from a few expats like yourself or US army guys, I mean crunchyroll is just putting up a big front, that a simple 5$ a month US proxy will fix.
Yeah Crunchyroll is like the sole legit streaming website out there - they send part of your sub fee directly to the anime production companies in Japan - it's one of the few ways to support the industry outside of buying DVDs direct from Japan. In return they get raws and scripts ahead of time to do translations - of course then the other streaming sites just rip them off but that's how it goes.

I did like how it was handled differently than most of those type of scenes -- four of the girls either didn't give a shit or wanted him all up in their business. Nice change of pace from most shows where it's nothing but shrieking Japanese girls (shit hurts my fucking ears) and punches.
