Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.

Since the early 2000s, Crunchyroll has been a go-to source for streaming anime content online. The service has greatly expanded access to anime and other East Asian content to those outside of Japan, and has contributed to anime’s massive popularity and profitability. Recently, however, the company has come under fire for its recent merger with Sony and for greatly underpaying its voice talent.
