    So many movies and shows aren’t available on ANY service. Or available only on ad-supported, are you saying I MUST watch it with commercial breaks? Seems insane.

      So many shows have been modified too, like MASH and Seinfeld have been sped up to fit more commercials and MASH has had a laugh track added. So you can’t even watch them the way they aired unless you can find them in their original format somewhere else…

        To be fair, Jerry really needs the cash! Otherwise he might have to either work in this millennium or become a mere hectomillionaire again!

        It’s not cheap hoarding cars and sponsoring genocides, you know…

      I’m mostly an anime watcher, so here’s an unexhaustive list of shows I’m not able to find anywhere on legal streaming [Brazil]:

      • Now and Then, Here and There

      • Sailor Moon (Season 5, as well as the entire original DiC dub)

      • Cross Ange: Rondo of Angel and Dragon

      • Serial Experiments Lain

      • Texhnolyze

      • Revolutionary Girl Utena

      • Fullmetal Alchemist (2003, not Brotherhood)

      • Hellsing Ultimate

      • Bloom Into You

      • Strawberry Panic

      • Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

      • Almost anything from the 1970s

        All peak shows. And while you can say that Lain and Utena are a bit niche, how is no one streaming Sailor Moon or GitS? That’s free money!

        I expected RIN: Daughters of Mnemosyne to be in this list given the inclusion of shows like it, but surprisingly, it’s actually on Crunchyroll. I might check it out later.

            I finished the first episode yesterday and am about to start the second.

            Thanks for the warning, but my profile picture and username are a Berserk character. I can handle it.
