Well , it depends on what anime you want to watch and what ' s licensed by each service . Some shows will only be available on one service , but it ' s impossible for us to know which ones you want to watch . Crunchyroll has an advantage in that you don ' t have to subscribe to it . Everything that I know of behind the subscription paywall is posted to the site a week later . But basically , there ' s no need to make the decision now . If a show appears that you really want to watch , and it ' s only on one service , subscribe to it then . <| sep |> Now if only they fixed their recommendation algorithm because I keep getting recommended the same movies for the past 5 years <| sep |> Meh . Both sides call each other names , that ' s been extremely obvious since the election . That shit needs to end overall .
