I used crunchyroll premium for about a year and a half and regret it. Not only did it take me an hour to watch an episode because their video player was so bad and i had to buffer every 10 seconds, or the video would crash on me.Then I learned about the whole high guardian spice crap and was upset that my money i put in went to a poor show with ads that lied, but also it didn't support the anime industry. I also learned later that they barely if at all support the anime creators.and finally the last straw for me was when I wanted to show my friend space dandy. For some dumb reason CR was saying it was "too mature and adult" for me to watch when I was a premium member and saw far more bloody, echi and violent shows on there before. So I was upset about that and then I started to get ads on my premium streams which I didn't want either. Thats the reason people pay for memberships.SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO WATCH ADS!!!!!Right after all that I canceled my premium member ship after having a bad experience. I'm glad I canceled before they rasied their prices. My friend canceled when he heard they were doing that and only after I showed him my issues along with the other things mentioned here he canceled. Now we both pirate anime and buy the mangas and dvds as well as use tokyo otaku mode to buy anime collectibles to support the industryand let's not get started on the whole vic mignigna situation where the CR heads false flagged youtubers, called them trash and other internet slangs because we support vic mignigna, they also made some lies with good friends of theirs who helped boot vic from all his jobs
