Dear Crunchyroll, Stop Opening Fan Mail!! - BakaBites EP 155

If you're a fan of anime you always try to find ways to show off your favorite series however you can. Buying merch at cons, getting exclusive apparel, or maybe just a figure of your favorite character. Many fans also love showing their appreciate for anime by connecting with the voices behind their favorite characters. Sending simple messages or giant care packages is a way of expressing gratitude towards those who create the characters we know and love through their unique voices. But then you get a company like, oh, I don't know, Cruchyroll, who just goes ahead and opens this mail for no reason... Like, why??? This is exactly what voice actor David Wald has accused Crunchyroll of doing for years and years now. Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage break down the accusations that broke over the weekend and talk about the harm this has done to fans and voice actors over the years.
