Piece of c--- of monopolous company trying to take over the world with their horrible subs and subpar services. There are already few anime licensing companies in Asia (such as Muse, Medialink, MightyMedia, Tropics, etc...) who are providing good/great subs and free, legal sites where you can watch anime. Honestly, this company ruins the experience of watching anime in Asia by nabbing more license, then put it in their bit overpriced app (by comparison: bilibili app in Asia can let you watch high quality legal anime for 7 dollars--not by 1 month but by one year) and let them rot there in their app undiscovered. And they forces some animes to be timed exclusives or be delayed by few weeks just to force watchers to try their app.

And yet Southeast Asia (with exemption of Thailand) remains geoblocked or not all shows are available for this region.

Lol, chill, there subs are not horrible, it can be a mix of both, it can have its peaks and lows. And there can be a way for cunchryroll to have the exclusively (which is fine) or just have it stream on every other platform on top of cunchryroll, and the timed exclusive things, its not a cunchryroll thing, just in case you were wondering

How is it a monopoly if you can just not subscribe to them and use someone else?

I stopped myself from subscribing toz them and if possible, I am not pirating animes. Fair enough that they are not "yet" monopolizing animes in Asia (but it is different somewhere else like in US where 90% of new animes are practically locked on their site.)
Instead of trying to expand on countries where many animes are accessible to wide audience (and trying to control on those), the first thing they need to do is just freaking improve their service that money that will be spent is worth it. Not some buggy app. Not some paid content with ads. Not with subpar, localized, or woke translations or dubs. Not with low quality experience.

You don't have to lie... we know you pirate anime. Everybody pirates anime whether you are subscribed to CR or not. I pirate any interesting shows that Hidive/Hulu manages to get and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Is this why some series got delayed start this season in SEA? Because Crunchy took the license from taiwanese licensors while geoblocking SEA. Ewww, disgusting. Nobody needs Crunchy in Asia.

Korea already has Laftel, Aniplus, and Netflix, and their libraries are very large. Laftel is even big enough that they've already started offering English-subtitled services for select SEA countries. I don't see a chance of Crunchyroll succeeding in SK unless they offer competitive pricing with a very good selection of titles these companies don't have.

I am curious how they will compete because there are a lot of platforms already. Many of them are pretty good.

If possible. But so far, I had pirated none on animes by Hulu (or Disney) so far but I want to watch some of them. Undead Unluck, Medalist, Summertime Rendering, and so on.
