Wow. That sure sucked. A lot. At least if Crunchyroll gets their streaming deal, which is a definite possibility.

Behold the future people, where crappy streaming sites like Crunchyroll try to take a bite out of fansubs and honest piracy. Yes I do know that there are several groups (like HorribleSubs) that specialize in ripping Crunchyroll videos. But like the group name says, Crunchyroll subs are allegedly HORRIBLE (or liberal vs literal subs). We’ll soon find out I suppose.

Can’t believe people are cozying up to shitty places such as Spotify, Voddler, Hulu and the like. Nice going sheeple. Big media is going to have all of you back in their pocket in no time.

Addendum: The day has come. This was the last episode by DB. HorribleSubs swiftly moved in and filled the gap though. The upside is that you can now get 720p versions. And the subs seemed nice. From their Q&A:

Are VIZ Media’s subtitles for Bleach as good as Dattebayo’s?
The answer to this depends on your personal preference. Many like Dattebayo’s subtitles due to the addition of swear words, how they keep the Japanese honorifics intact and how some other Japanese words are left untranslated. VIZ Media’s subtitles do not contain swear words, mainly because there are few swear words in the Japanese language and merely ways of saying things in a rude manner. But I just heard that VIZ’s subtitles will keep the original Japanese attack names and include Japanese honorifics (not sure if this is just for Simulcast episodes or if it will include previous catalog episodes) . So, strictly from a translation point of view, VIZ Media’s subtitles are most likely going to be comparable to Dattebayo’s and not "terrible" as many seem to think.
