Unfortunately those alternatives don’t move any money back to the anime studios making all the series we love.
And even buying the Blu-ray’s would still support the publishers doing this.
With Nintendo going after emulators and fan projects, it seems Japan has some serious problems with getting the message on treating their fandoms right.
I read once that crunchy also doesnt pay that much to the studios and its better to get the BD/DVD or other merch. Sadly dont have the source since its a few years ago that I read that article.

Streaming really doesn’t have that big a profit margin, so that makes sense.
Either way, publisher takes a cut.
I would just buy it directly from someone reliable in JP, it’s the only other way to support the artist directly.
