Make anime more legally accessible outside of japan/USA

The Issue

When not living in Japan, USA or UK, it is often ridiculously hard to find a legal way to watch your favorite anime. For example: the only legal ways to watch anime online in Europe are Crunchyroll or Netflix. However, both have very little anime content to offer in Europe due to licensing issues. Even when paying for these services, European fans simply cannot watch their favorite series online legally. Even really popular ones, like Attack on titan, Bleach, or Dragon Ball Super are unavailable. As a result, this might lead fans to either pirate the shows, or not watch them at all. 

With this petition, we want to let the anime industry know that there is currently a lot of money to be won from making anime more accessible in Europe (or other regions outside of USA/UK/Japan) in hope of one day being able to watch our favorite series legally.

We also want to encourage other services like Crunchyroll, HULU, Netlfilx and Funimation to acquire more licenses to stream anime in Europe or other regions.
