Indeed. Because of this change, I already cancelled the auto renew of my subscription and I started looking back at the high seas.
Are the comments really that important? The only time I ever went in them was recently to report the trolls wishing people HIV in the twilight out of focus comments
Comments were more of a bonus that I enjoyed looking at after I watched an episode. You could sometimes find some very interesting comments.
However, what they also removed is reviews. And I used that to choose what animes I was going to add to my watchlist. Without that, the website is pretty much useless, I rather watch them elsewhere if I have to use another website anyway to get the reviews.
Apparently they were getting called out for using a LLM on the new Shikanoko anime instead of hiring a translator.
That would explain the lack of pun explanations. Fansubs wouldnʼt be so lax.
Holy shit. I knew CR were bad in terms of how they treated translators (source: I applied there), but holy fucking hell.
It was inevitable when they shut down the forums. They can’t be bothered with moderating user interactions.
