About

New year, same s**t. In fairness this is about the time of year when many people start failing their New Year's resolutions, so its no surprise that both Crunchyroll and Netflix find themselves getting bad press. MagicallyAverage and Frankfurtrter talk about the Crunchyroll accounts being leaked on social media as well as Netflix raising its subscriptions prices yet again... Oh, but at least Crunchryoll confirmed that there was no evidence of their systems being compromised, so...that's a win. Meanwhile, the anime industry globally has its largest percentage growth in 2023, reaching revenues of over $19 billion. And what do you, the loyal fans and supporters of anime, get in return? Higher subscriptions with the same quality of anime! WOOOOOOOOOO!!! Oh, and they discuss The Colors Within. Small victory.Articles from Episode:https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-01-24/crunchyroll-confirms-some-login-credentials-were-posted-on-social-media-states-there-is-no-evidence-/.220436https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-01-26/netflix-raises-subscription-prices-in-u.s-canada/.220473https://www.parrotanalytics.com/announcements/japanese-anime-captured-dollar198-billion-in-2023-global-revenue-cementing-japans-role-as-a-global-entertainment-leader/---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Twitch: BakacopodcastTikTok: @bakacopodcastInstagram: @bakacopodcastBlueSky: @bakaco.bsky.socialYouTube: @bakacopodcast---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#anime #animepodcast #podcast #manga #animenews #animereviews #animepreviews #animerecommendations #mangacollection Hosted on Acast.
