You have to have Amazon Prime at $100 a year before you can pay for AnimeStrike at $60 a year.... just to watch some anime they hold exclusive rights to. AnimeStrike has actually made a lot of fans willing to support legal Simulcasts resort back to piracy for the first time in the past 5 years according to a lot of polls & comments on sites like AnimeNewsNetwork. Heck all the alternative options cost nearly 1/3 the amount and offer much more anime titles for viewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have offered Strike separately and not link it to Prime .. or maybe offered a variation of Prime that includes Strike that has a more reasonable pricing. EDIT Apparently Strike made the news for all the wrong reasons. Which is never OK, Even Forbes magazine had something to say about anime! https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurenorsini/2017/05/15/why-anime-fans-arent-falling-in-love-with-anime-strike/#127b48b21ce8 Edited July 11, 2017 by emjay911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
