DramaCrazy and AnimeCrazy are shutting down?

Jul 4, 2013 02:48 am

I don't really think it's that bad people. For one, there's d-addicts.com where the subbers and raw uploaders actually put their works. Infact, I shared some people opinions that those streaming sites actually get their materials from d-addicts and just hardsubbed the subs and converted to a much lower res and upload on their sites. I'm actually surprised that many drama fans actually watches on streaming sites. For one, quality is ofcourse much better on DA. :D

I'm kinda with you. I do think that the copyright police are often the enemy, but on the other hand, I also want to support the things that I truly value. I did use DC all the time for jdorama, but I've been a paying member of DF for almost two years. I pay $40 a year, far less than most people pay for monthly phone service. Seems reasonable to me. If some site would make Japanese shows available in HD for a small fee, I'd happily contribute. But unfortunately, there's no reasonable legal option right now, so here we all are....mourning.

I've been using DC since I started watching j/kdramas a few years ago. So yea, like eveyone else, I was a little shocked when I visited the site yesterday. Today I'm in recovery mode, trying to find a suitable alternative. Of all the dramas I've watched on DC, the one that I immediately thought of post DC shutdown, was Orange Days. Loved this drama. Loved watching it on DC.

No words can describe how I feel about it. Not only am I losing my main source of drama, I'm also losing my main source of anime. Just shoot me now and put me out of my misery. T_T

This is very hard to accept, but i guess we have no other choice... They did a great job in managing a great site for fans of asian drama's. I hope in the future there will be a site that can match Dramacrazy.
