authentic ratingThe largest legal anime catalog with same-day simulcast releases alongside Japan, which makes it irreplaceable for the genre. After the Sony acquisition, subtitles have gotten worse, episode comments were removed, and episode ordering in some franchises is broken.

About the rating
39% five-star reviews against a textual average of 3.08 and a store rating of 4.76 is a moderate gap typical of a niche platform with a devoted audience that loves the content but is unhappy with degradation after a change in ownership.
Strengths
What users love
- The only platform where new anime seasons release on the same day as the Japanese broadcast
- With a full archive of classics.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Subtitles in a number of titles degraded after the team change: sometimes the translation is inaccurate enough that following the plot without knowing Japanese is genuinely difficult.
Who it is for
Anime fans who care about legal access to current simulcasts.
