As for me, I would like to have a download option without any ad related stuff.
What about you guys?

The download option would be convenient if they have you pay for the download. Sorta like how some music streaming services give you the option to pay for a song if you like it. The site will still make money, and you don’t have to go to a third party to buy it.

Exactly and with the current speed over here, I am not able to stream anime all that much.
So, I usually download anime.

I just download illegally, and if I really enjoy a series, I buy the bluray and/or manga. I initially did it out of habit when there weren’t legal streaming sites, so most of the shows weren’t legally available anyway. Now I’m doing it out of a combination of laziness, and how some shows are dumb on streaming services. Why do I need to pay for more than one streaming service just to watch one show?
and some of these companies are wondering why piracy is growing again...

That's true.
If everything is available in just one platform, most of the anime fans wouldn't mind spending even 100 USD a month

$100 is a ridiculous price under $20 is the sweet spot. You’ll get more customers that way.

It is and I do agree that 20 USD is a generic price.
Well, we have too many platforms and for all of them to collaborate and work together, it might be a bit tough if the actual price is too low for subscription

It all depends on how many people use it. If you do the math, if a ton of people are using it for $20 a month vs less people at $100 a month, your profit gains won’t really change. It’s just that less people are inclined to use it if you hike the price up. You gotta lose some money first to get a wider customer base.

Some services allow you to download within the app itself. As for I want it's just availability. Crunchyroll's library sucks and Funimation is blocked here. Netflix and Prime have a passable library.

Do you mean legal apps or is it some illegal streaming app?
As much as I stream stuff from other sources, if possible I would like that from some legal app
Star_Of_Hope said:
Prime and Netflix let you do that.
MadaraUchiha said:
I see.
I do have Prime subscription but not Netflix subscription as for Prime, it doesn't have any good anime collection, as far as I remember
Star_Of_Hope said:
Some films, TV shows let you do that on the mobile app.
MadaraUchiha said:
I see.
I will look into them. So far, I haven't found any such app.

Have you tried VPN’s? They basically do all the work for you.

For now I don't want to pay for another subscription service, already playing for 3. As for VPNs the free ones are sketchy so I need to pay for that too. I know I'm complaining but I can't spend so much money for just anime.

Some VPN’s have you pay once a year, like Prime. You could try justifying it’s use for other content as well.
