Gao couldn’t reveal to me how much of your Crunchyroll payment goes back to anime publishers because of nondisclosure agreements. But he did say that publishers are “ecstatic” about the revenue they receive, and that publishers probably wouldn’t agree to work with Crunchyroll in such large numbers if they were getting such a bad deal. “This season,...
Seventh Style’s blog posts assumes that Crunchyroll splits your subscription payment between all 400+ shows it offers. But the reality is far more interesting than that. “If you watch just Naruto, your subscription money goes toward supporting that show. If you watch more than one show, the money is split proportionately among those shows depending...
Inspired by a Twitter follower, I asked Gao how Crunchyroll picks which shows to license and stream. The answer: whatever they can get. “Our licensing approach is very straightforward.

But I’ve been a subscriber since 2010, and I had no idea how unusual that was. Out of Crunchyroll’s 10,000,000 monthly visitors, only 200,000 or so act...
Even if you agree that supporting Crunchyroll is supporting the anime industry, how do you know that you couldn’t be a better consumer by buying DVDs and Blu-rays? According to Gao, it’s not really something you can compare. “For each DVD, publishers might see a few dollars at most just because there are so many middlemen. Half of it goes to Best B...
