Many (maybe even all) series on Crunchyroll (perhaps Hulu as well) for example
have no subtitles for the opening and ending.

Why is this?

anime-production crunchyroll
Why don't official English sites translate the OP/ED?


This was stated by the Support Manager??(or is that just a forum title) of
Crunchyroll:

> This involves getting the rights to the songs that are used as opening and
> endings for each show on the site.
>
> So not only when licensing new simulcasts would we be going after the show
> but also the opening and ending songs.
>
> A lot of bands are reluctant to let their songs be licensed as this means
> that the translation presented is -THE- official translation of the song.

He also backs that up at: <http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-758633/are-
cr-subs-lacking-a-bit>

So he does seem to be a staff from Crunchyroll.
