is there a way to buy only certain episodes in an anime?
and not the whole series? i don't think it's allowed in general. what do you guys think?

Well, anime *used* to be released in parts, as in Episode 1-4, 5-8, etc...

Not physically, but digitally you can.

I don't know. I just got given the password to the account, and my friend pays for it. XD But standard Crunchyroll Premium membership is apparently $7.99 a month?

Waste of resources honestly. It’s like how nobody releases physical album singles anymore.

that's true lol
and you are right about that. but still when you like something a lot, you would want to have it as a physical copy.

People who have the attachment to a physical copy tend to want the whole show instead of just a couple episodes.
