Apparently Episode 2 is available earlier in Netflix on Japan.

It's not anybody's fault. It's on purpose.

@_Mentalist on purpose of what? Making ppl outside Japan had to resort to piracy, especially when Netflix blocks a lot of VPNs? Blue Box's release model got criticized too.

@RealNath they'll probably do the same they're also doing with Blue Box and air 1 week in advance for Japan.
VPN to Japan does work though

@RealNath You don't "have to resort to piracy". Literally all you have to do is wait one week.

@_Mentalist waiting is not an issue, issue is the ones who watch it and then all the anime pages posts about it

@Bhavya7 Fair enough, but that's not the fault of Netflix for streaming each episode a week in advance in Japan, that's the fault of people being assholes and ruining it for other people.

Poor impatient people are literally forced to pirate an anime because waiting a week for an episode is too much to bear. Are such people new to the concept of 1 episode a week release schedule?

Delaying each episode by a week doesn't force anyone to pirate anything. But at the same time, it DOES create an incentive to turn to piracy to get these episodes faster (an incentive that wouldn't be there if episodes released on time). I'm kinda curious what the benefit to the licensor is with the current arrangement, because I can't think of much.

@watsym wdym probably? They in fact are doing it. And yes, I used the free Proton VPN to take the screenshot on the right.

@RealNath yeah, watched it. Will be worse when they stop adding translation for english on time like it is now for Blue Box. Like episode 15 is out in Japan only, but not yet english subbed.

@eksratu

Probably something like giving viewers who would usually watch anime on TV in Japan an incentive to subscribe to Netflix and watch it on there instead.

@_Mentalist As I said in the post, I believe it's more of TMS fault, because the same case happens with Blue Box; but not with Orb.

@RealNath fyi, blue box isn't by TMS, but by Telecom Animation Film. So it's Telecom's fault too now?

@Kempal Its more what is the point? I dont mind waiting for actual releases and this projection that people are impatient is just that. Projection. I gain nothing nor do the distributors by releasing it earlier in one area for basically no reason. I can also then discuss it since the vast majority of people who arent casuals or normies are the ones who post in the areas I discuss shows and actively gimping mysefl by arbitrarily holding back for no reason just means I get spoilers/arent abale to take part.

Theres no good reason for this and defending it, especially with projecting the idea that people are just impatient is not only dumb its pathetic.

@BioticKhajiit I'm not defending it.

As to being pathetic, it's whining on the internet that you have to wait a week for a cartoon and you are so miserable that you're gonna pirate it - that's pathetic. Get a life and stop insulting others.

nobody is "forced" to pirate. That's a cop out. Just admit that you want to pirate. I pirate stuff too but stop trying to make it sound like you're not in the wrong. Just own up to it.

You do it one time it's annoying but if you keep doing it then it's deal breking. What's the point of paying if I can have earlier access through pirating. Netflix and their horrible marketing decisions.

@WaterMage Do you also leave the grocery store without getting in line and paying for your items? Do you leave a restaurant without flagging a waiter/waitress and asking for the check? After all, what's the point of paying if you can just leave without it, for free, right?

The point is it's theft, and you're committing a crime. Stop trying to defend piracy as if you're "forced" to do it. You're not. You choose to do it, knowing it's unlikely you'll be punished for it.

@Kempal Youre claiming Im whining on the internet about a wait, which is BS as I just went and pirated the episode and watched it as will anyone else who actually wants to. I can still do this and point out how utterly retarded this action is. You have no actual defence for the decision, I have one for mine as I benefit from a consumer standpoint. If they dont want people to pirate their service can avoid doing dumb shit like this. Imagine actually waiting like a cuck for no reason other than some corp randomly deciding to fuck you over for no reason.

Get a life yourself and stop defending such stupid practices on a forum. They are not paying you and the people like myself who want to watch the 2nd episode early will do so anyway whilst pointing out how dumb a decision it is.

@BioticKhajiit

> "I'm not whining"
> "I just went and pirated the episode"

Yeah...

You're not going to get a rise out of me by spouting inane bullshit, man.

I'm just blocking you.
