Re: VRV - The Best Deal In Streaming Services?
 

Probably 6 or 7 at any given time. It depends. I frequently cancel/resubscribe from month to month.

Right now I have Netflix, Prime, Hulu, VRV and WWE. I also have Shudder even though VRV offers it, because I got a great discount on an Annual Pass and it was the only way to watch the Joe Bob marathon. I just cancelled HiDive and Boomerang.

Sometimes I'll subscribe to Acorn, Britbox, Hallmark, HBO if there's something I want to watch.

Looks like VRV just lost Shudder. That sucks.

It's still a good deal for Crunchyroll subscribers. It's only $2 more, and you get HiDive & Boomerang.

On the positive side, they added a bunch of MST3K and Shout Factory stuff. But I hope they get something to replace Shudder. That's a huge loss.

Re: VRV - The Best Deal In Streaming Services?
 

VRV just added some stuff from Shout Factory:

Is VRV included in the sale of Crunchyroll to Sony? If not, RIP VRV.

VRV is losing HIDIVE at the end of the month.

I wonder if Funimation will return to VRV. Or maybe they'll close it down. No point in keeping it running with just Crunchyroll.

Re: VRV - The Best Deal In Streaming Services?
 

VRV is losing Rooster Teeth on Dec 13th.

I dropped my subscription last month and went back to basic Crunchyroll. There's no point in paying extra for VRV anymore.

It's a shame. This was once a terrific bargain.

Re: VRV - The Best Deal In Streaming Services?
 

VRV announced it's ending and merging into Crunchyroll

Twitter

I also got an email announcing the change. I'm not an anime person, so I never got into this service. When it 1st started, it was a pretty good value with a bunch of services mixed in, but they slowly started losing content through the years.

Re: VRV - The Best Deal In Streaming Services?
 

It's a shame. VRV was an amazing deal about 5 years ago. But they lost one service after another. At first, they tried to find replacements. After a while, they stopped adding new stuff, and just let it slowly die. For the past 3 years it's been running on life support. After losing HiDive two years ago, the only thing left was Crunchyroll. And it was cheaper to just subscribe directly to Crunchyroll.
