Is there a UK accessible, LEGAL, non-subscription service showing this anime?

Starting from episode 4 Crunchyroll (UK) made this for prime members only, CRs change of policy is annoying - I was quite happy for them to make revenue from ad-sponsors, not looking to pay a subscription: now this is not the place to discuss CR's decision on this but I would like to know where I can watch it now!

I would have a long wait to buy the series in the UK!

re: get ya money up not ya funny up

They get the money from the ad-sponsors... I ain't asking them to hand it out for nowt.
UK-wise: I'm looking for an ITV not a BBC.

Also, finding it for free is quite easy... finding anime steaming that's ad-supported and LEGAL seems almost impossible to pick out via search engines. I personally highly rate CR... but I do like to get physical disks and packaging for my money.

I watch enough on Crunchyroll to justify the surprisingly low monthly cost compared to Netflix or Hulu.

I pay for Netflix and watch enough to justify it; I also pay the BBC and watch that.
I watch maybe a hour of CR a week... so I can't justify that subscription fee.
I also buy a lot of anime on DVD & bluray, official UK releases not Asian bootlegs - much better use of my money in support of the anime industry.
There is a reason the 'free' tier is called 'ad supported', they still get money - just not directly from me.

NOTE: Netflix basic is cheaper than CR Fan in the UK; Hulu is not available.

There are a couple of shows now locked out of the 'ad supported' tier, and I just wondered if there was a decent legal alternative to CR.

Thought I'd add a coda to this discussion... a year on and Crunchyroll has just declared ALL new shows will be locked out for non-subscribers; I saw it coming and it only took a year!
Guess I'll be looking to buy the QQ film on Blu-ray when it comes out... to help 'support the anime community'!
