The Catalog of Anime Onegai vs Crunchyroll
The substantial differences of both services are found in the catalog and that is where they differ. While Crunchyroll is a platform dedicated to current affairs and the great anime franchises, thanks to its agreements with Aniplex, Sony and all the big entertainment houses in Japan.
On the other hand, Anime Onegai intends to be more of a content platform that has not been able to be experienced within the regionas well as one that favors the Latino audience that prefers dubbing over the original with subtitles.
Likewise, there are no recent titles within Anime Onegai and its platform is powered by anime from a few years ago, or cult franchises within the otaku nicheWhat Hokuto no Ken, mazinkaiser and Ecchi… a lot of ecchi.
Also, being a new platform, it does not have the large number of titles that Crunchyroll does, but that may change over time and the acquisition of more franchises by Anime Onegai, which also has a commitment to dubbing studios to Make your content regionalized.
Which one is better and which one to hire?
Both services are designed for different types of audiences. Also, Anime Onegai’s competitive disadvantages make it offer a lower price and that can bring many other fans closer to animes that they could not otherwise legally enjoy.
Its great plus is the dubbing section, something that little by little all the participants in the region, from Netflix to Vix, have in mind when it comes to streaming. However, the great relationship that the anime fan has with dubbed content can attract a good subscriber base.

Hiring one or the other will depend on both the amount of annual money you want to spend and the type of anime content you want to see and the way you want to experience it. However, as a more complete experience Crunchyroll has the upper hand; while Anime Onegai is a good option if you don’t want to spend so much and want to experiment with its proposal.
