    I remember when Crunchyroll was a pirate site just like all the others. This was many many years ago now. Kinda reminds me of the start of Hollywood in a way.

      It even still has some old fansubbed episodes from the pirate era. For example, if you look at the early Gintama episodes on CR, they’re actually subbed by Rumbel Subs.

      There was actually an overlap period when they were licensing anime, but still has pirates titles in their site. It was bizarre that the Japanese companies didn’t notice.
