In many respects, these are greatly disadvantageous to the viewer. First, their libraries of anime are typically small, comprising only popular or widely recognized titles and omitting rare or niche series with dedicated followings. Some of these services may further license anime content in such a poor manner, including a lack of features such as the ability to customize watch order or even making it simple to tell between canon and filler episodes. This can lead to a really fragmented experience where fans either have to struggle to track down the exact content they are looking for or be forced to go through content in an order that detracts from the narrative. Moreover, traditional platforms usually mean little or no integration with manga, hence leaving fans of both media in a disjointed experience. Such limitations further necessitate a dedicated service to the special needs of anime and manga enthusiasts for a more comprehensive, user-friendly, and immersive experience.
