Crunchyroll Threatened With Exposure and Scandal
Startling news coming straight from well known English voice actor David Wald today. Effective immediately he has terminated all relationships with Crunchyroll and it’s streaming and dubbing services. Wald, who fans may remember was recently caught up in a scandal where it was found where Crunchyroll staff was opening mail sent to him and distributing fan sent in items amongst themselves. Wald has threatened to release even more damaging information on Crunchyroll that may create an even larger scandal for fans to consider.
Fans may recognize Wald as a voice actor that plays characters in several popular and airing anime shows such as Fairy Tail (Gajeel Redfox), Solo Leveling, My Hero Academia as well as others. He has appeared in numerous noteworthy shows of the past such as Fist of the North Star, Vinland Saga, Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon, and more found here.
Crunchyroll notably has a damn near monopoly on anime streaming in America and other western nations and many us will be closely watching the fallout and what comes from this.
It’s been three days since David’s announcement on Twitter and other than trying to lure people to his live streaming links he has not released any further information. Personally, I feel that if you have to build hype for your damaging information release then it probably isn’t that damaging to begin with. This is the sort of stuff politicians do. They say something and it sits like a fart in the air until it disappears.
