Also as an addition since you guys took down all the links to all groups, etc, you could add in this tab the old scans from the groups that did scans of the official english version that you guys took down a few years back. ex: KickTheKitty, Furious Puppet, Sengfurke2, and others. To let people know that mangas are available for free somewhere on the internet, that's why this site was made, was it not? And since there's no link anywhere, you guys should be safe, right?


That's not why this site was made, though easily a great comment.

I wish they weren't. They keep taking up pieces done by other groups, and then the other groups usually stop. The Crunchyroll translations are crap. All they care about is profit.

Year old post, but this made me scratch my head at what was otherwise an intelligent post.

Furthermore, who even says that you need to go to the CR site to read their scans? Does everyone always go to the scanlators site to read the latest chapters? I know I do for most of them, but I also read quite a few series from different sites. This site only notifies us that a new chapter has been released - the actual group that does it doesn't really matter as long as it's free. In fact, only a fraction of people actually go to read from the scanlators site. People need to realise that they don't need to go to CR to read the CR releases, just like how you don't need to go to the scanlator's site to read releases from that particular group.


Well, if you're talking about "supporting the industry" then yeah, you kinda have to read the chapter on Crunchyroll's site. In order to curb the cost of free chapters for non-members, they depend on advertising revenue. They don't get that revenue if you're not viewing the chapter on their site, obviously.

But yeah, people who irrationally hate on crunchyroll make me laugh. The site is fantastic.
