TL;DR India wants Legal Anime Streaming Services

We want a Platform like AnimeLabs or Crunchyroll or Funimation which we can wholeheartedly support.

Let's clear one thing - the success of Weathering with You in India was phenomenal.

Even NHK, a Japanese broadcasting channel, has covered it. Many voice actors raised their support for the movie. Indian YouTubers have extensively spoken about it and extended efforts in bringing it to India. And the best of all - the director himself came and witnessed the immense support for the movie. However, Indian Media has shown little to no coverage on this.

Many have seen this movie over three times however the Indian Media has shown very little interest in this. The movie and medium has been very successful in its first two appearances in the form of Dragon Ball Broly and Tenki no Ko. Netflix has also added many titles to their library. However, many just like myself feel that it must not end here. Many anime movies and series are released every year but the Indian audiences have no resort but to watch them illegally. Releasing a petition for every movie is not viable after a point. And most importantly, it is impartial to all the other wonderful anime movies which have and are releasing as they won't be seeing the Indian Cinema houses.

Many mangas are released internationally in Japanese, English and the National Language as well. And to get access to them Indians again have to use illegal methods. This taints the support Indians have for the anime industry.

Konosuba, Studio Ghibli, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Kyoto Animation, Dragon Ball's next movie, Hello World, Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl, and many more would be available internationally. It is a request for an Indian Release as well.

This also applies to all the anime which would be released in this and the coming seasons. We request for anime to be added on Netflix or to whitelist Crunchyroll, Aniplex, Daisuki, Funimation Services and establish same day simulcast or broadcast.

The goal of the petition is to make anime legal and easily acceptable. We suggest a week's screening if a movie is released or same day release of a season on an online platform along with availability of Japanese, English and Hindi dub.

We want to support Anime and Manga but most importantly, the creators and industry that works tirelessly to bring it to us.

Thank you.
