I go out of my way to follow the rules, like watching a sport even on the NBC website with their commercials, and then after ten minutes they say “you must sign in to your tv provider”.
So I get aboard my ship, put on my eyepatch and find the game in an Iranian server farm. I don’t want to be a pirate, they make me.
Trying to find the seasons of the One Piece anime that haven't been uploaded to Netflix yet (and were taken down from Crunchyroll and Funimation) turned me into the King of the Pirates.
A VPN and a decent sized hard drive with Jellyfin is way cheaper than 12 different streaming services that either all have the same shit, don't have the shit I want, or has ok original content that gets canceled after 2 seasons.
But its a very individualist solution. As soon as you try to expand the solution to a wider network of friends and neighbors, you dramatically raise your risk of being targeted for legal or physical reprisals.
Kinda off topic but I'm actually mad that one piece (live-action) is good because i know Netflix will ruin it somehow. I'm still
about the Witcher
As long as they don't fire the current showrunners, the show will stay good. At the most they'll cancel it early.
If they fire Matt Owens or Steven Maeda, that's when to bail.
"Early" meaning in less than the 20+ years it'd take to complete?
Can't even believe I'm saying this but I'm sort of interested in seeking it out. I'm not much of an anime watcher but I like the manga and the early stretch of it is massively nostalgic for me
They're condensing a lot of it so it'll probably take 10 years to complete instead of 20. I mean the absolute worst case would be if they cancel after S2 now, so we'd at least get up to Drum Island I reckon. And like I said, I don't think we'd get a GoT situation as long as Matt Owens is running the show, cos the only changes he did to the story (besides cutting stuff for time) was to better set up stuff in Arlong Park that'll only pay off in Sabaody Archipelago, which are really good changes imo.
The anime has killed off my harddisks space because the only way to I could get the early seasons was in giant compilations yo-hohoho. There's also apparently a remake/remaster of the OP anime somewhere with better animation that I have no idea how to find
At $17M/episode, I imagine they're just going to drop the series in another year or two.
I'd be happy just to see how the hell they're gonna do Chopper and Brook. 3 seasons would satisfy me, 5 would be more than i could hope for
it'll be incredibly funny if the show somehow lasts long enough to get to the current arcs and we'll get to live action gear 5
