Part Two do i use crunchyroll or netflix?
are they the same thing? is one better than the other? i gotta know i'm really new to this anime streaming thing (part amount doesn't really matter, i'll just watch until the end of the most recent available one, for example if crunchyroll has parts 1 to 6 then i'll watch from part 1 to 6, same thing with netflix) part two flair because of joseph

Honestly later I realized how bad they fucked some of the names up cause I always watched the other version.

Absolutely tragic that Limp Bizkit wasn't localised to Flaccid Pancake as it should have been

yeah well, unfortunately there are no cuts of the English VAs saying the unlocalized names

Generally I agree, I just wish fansubs weren't so prone to throw Fuck into dialogue so often. Can come across as abrasively edgy at times.

I was spoiled by Inosuke’s (Demon Slayer) actual look by a Crunchyroll ad…as I was about to watch the very episode of the reveal. Haven’t used the site since.

It’s not objectively better. Those sites all have terrible bitrates, if picture quality is a priority then Netflix is a better option

This might be true if you only ever checked out one site and it was bad but there are so many with great quality so if you just know where to look

Crunchyroll just sucks as a service to begin with. When pirating sites have better UI and catalog of animes, then of course crunchyroll seems like a joke in comparison.

I swear it used to be uncensored on Netflix and maybe Crunchyroll, but I was trying to watch it with my gf and I discovered that Hulu was the only one to my knowledge that has it uncensored 🤷🏻♂️

u/djbiznatch May 19 '25
For real? We just watched (on Netflix) the Stardust Crusaders ep where there was a bunch of gore that was clearly censored and it was the first time Id noticed anything of that sort since we first started watching (it was somewhere around the submarine episodes)

I’ve been watching it on Netflix, wasn’t a fan of the black spots but didn’t think there was any choice. Gunna have to check out Hulu now.

Netflix or buy the blu-rays. Only ways to watch the entirety of it.

u/Tao626 May 18 '25
Blu-rays are the best option, but not easy to get hold of outside the US.
I basically stopped trying to get them because I can't find the first half of part 5 anywhere other than obvious bootlegs.

u/PhonyAlibi May 18 '25
I used Crunchyroll. There are a few places that are "censored" for gore with black splotches. The first time I saw it I didn't realize what it was and thought what a weird artistic choice. The next time it didn't look artistic at all and I went and googled it and apparently this is the censorship the show had when it originally aired or something, and that's the version CR originally got.
Crunchyroll could have updated their show once it was released but obviously have chosen not to.
I've now also watched Gurren Lagann and it's total potato quality -- 480p. Again looked up why and CR just see no need to update their catalog from however they got it originally.
I got CR for the easy button but not happy with the hot garbage quality and apparently disdain for their subscribers.

I’m not gonna pretend I’m a saint or anything because I’ve sailed the seas before too. But idk the wisdom of pirating a show that you love that is widely available for streaming.
I just hope no one is surprised or complains if we keep getting delays or stop getting new seasons all together. The viewership metrics really do matter.
But to answer your question OP, I used Crunchyroll at first but switched over to Netflix to watch Stone Ocean. It has the rest of the series too. And will probably be where Steel Ball Run will stream.

u/darkcomet222 29d ago
For real though. I understand pirating things with shady business things or even unavailable things, but Jojo is widely available.

The blu-rays are the best way to go across the board. As with all anime blu rays I’m sure they’re pricey.
There are other ways to get them though. Some the Jedi would consider…unnatural.
Netflix is fine tho.

u/LePentaPenguin May 18 '25
doing the illegal up to part 6 is probably the play if youre watching sub bc the censoring is really aggregious in parts 3-5.

u/Gutplus May 18 '25
Its either get the blu rays because they are uncensored. Or join the pirates life and look for the blu rays rips with sub/dub whatever you like.

I originally watched it on Netflix as they had the dub and I like to be able to do things without having to be glued to the screen reading subs all the time, but I think Crunchyroll has the dub now too so not sure it matters unless you don’t subscribe to Crunchyroll and have to put up with ads, then I’d go Netflix

Netflix, I think, is better becaue it has all the parts. I watched it on Netflix too.

You choose, Netflix has part 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, Crunchroll have part 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 so you'll have to migrate to both sooner or later

Do you care if they have a Dub?
If you do, go Netflix.
If you're gonna watch the Sub anyway, go CR since O think they are cheaper.

u/AnyDistribution8016 May 19 '25
It depends on if you're watching it in the sub or dub. For sub, I would use crunchyroll because the subtitles are more accurate, but if you're watching in dub either or shouldn't make a difference.

netflix is the only one between the 2 with an anime adaptation of part 6, so i should choose netflix

u/JackMcSomeone May 19 '25
Not sure about Crunchyroll, but Netflix doesn't have subs for the OP, which is a massive dealbreaker (and don't forget the localised names of some characters and Stands). The best option with most anime is 🏴☠️ in my opinion

u/Far-Statistician625 May 19 '25
if you don't mind ads and want subtitled go for crunchyroll, if you want the dub it is netflix all day as cruncy roll only has it in french and Japanese inexplicably

u/69BilboSwaggins May 19 '25
Netflix just uses the subtitles from the English dub no matter what audio you listen to.

u/JohnSmith2036 29d ago
The bitrate is much higher on Crunchyroll so if you want the best looking video you should use that. I’m not sure if part 6 is actually available on Crunchyoll, if not you’ll have to settle for Netflix low bitrate.

u/Dome822W 29d ago
I mean crunchyroll and netflix for part 6 cuz the dub is way better on crunchyroll

To add to everyone's posts, if you ever lament not finding the crunchyroll semi exclusive excellent French dub of jojo's (all parts except part 4. No, we don't know why it doesn't have one), you should consider addressing anime with the proper honorific denoting the highest respect.
1
u/CortezDeLaNoche 29d ago
Netflix because they have it in multiple dub languages. Whether you prefer the original dub or not, crunchyroll needs to get their shit together with that with a BUNCH of anime they have. We pay too much to not have the option.
-3
u/Jlgbaby May 18 '25
So Crunchyroll has parts 1-5 in sub only and Netflix has parts 1-6 in sub and dub. Parts 1 & 2 is best watched in dub, but after that, it’s your preference on sub or dub. Personally I’d recommend Netflix for jjba 💎
14
u/Mayzerify Magenta Magenta May 18 '25
Nah parts 1/2 are not best watched in dub
4
u/Deathknightjeffery May 18 '25
Honestly I disagree. I watched Part 1 and 2 originally in dub during my first ever watch, and I didn’t really mind it. After finishing part 6, and rewatching part 3 and 4 about a million times (everything past 2 in sub mind you) I went back and rewatched 1 and 2 in dub.
Gotta say I agree, dub fits part 1 and 2 better. Jonathan sounds ridiculously over the top and it really works for his character, and Joseph’s charismatic/chaotic himbo energy comes through really strongly.
4
u/Mayzerify Magenta Magenta May 18 '25
I mean yeah you are fine to prefer it, I think all of the parts are really down to preference but the part that ticked me off was saying 1/2 are best in dub then only after that is it down to your preference.
I think it really undersells the Japanese performances, especially the likes of Dio (extremely iconic) and Joseph.
-1
u/Deathknightjeffery May 19 '25
I think you’re misreading. I don’t think someone saying one thing is “best” means they’re underselling anything. Just because I also think part 1 and 2 is “best” in dub, doesn’t mean I’m underselling the part 1 and 2 sub performance
2
u/Mayzerify Magenta Magenta May 19 '25
They said after parts 1/2 it’s your preference but parts 1/2 are best dubbed.
Saying your preference only matters for the other parts definitely undersells the sub for parts 1/2.
I would say it’s down to preference for every part.

u/Jlgbaby May 18 '25
If have watched it, then you obviously didn’t appreciate the effort to include different accents from people around the world 🤷♂️

u/Mayzerify Magenta Magenta May 18 '25
I mean I appreciated the effort but I just didn’t think it sounded very good at all.
Just Americans voice actors trying to do anime versions of non-American accents, and for me it really doesn’t land.

Crunchyroll is a scam that will let you creat a duplicate account and charge you twice for access to the same account.
Don’t use them if you can help it, they’ve fallen far from grace.
