I can't wait to see how this plays out....
I can get behind that since CR releases the episodes after 1 week anyway. It's a good enough compromise to make the shows accessible for the wider public, as well as providing a premium service for those willing to pay for it.

I guess the only issues here is that CR has exclusive world-wide streaming rights, yet doesn't have world-wide distribution meaning that in the countries where full distribution rights are owned by another company, CR can not allow streaming to those regions. Still, in law and arguably spirit, they're in the right.

How much is anime-only CR subscription anyway (if it's different from J-Drama/K-drama full subscription)
