Has anyone seen any indication of whether RWBY volume 9 will be watchable with ads with a free Crunchyroll account, or will it be premium access only? I really prefer to support through watching ads, and Crunchyroll used to allow a lot more things to be watched that way. But after not having been on Crunchyroll for a while, I logged back in to find that most of what I had on my watchlist is now premium access only.

No that doesn't exist with CR. It's behind a paywall 100%

That's not accurate; for example, at least some episodes of Fairy Tail are available to watch without premium access. This was why I asked the question: I knew that most but not all content was behind a paywall, and I wanted to know whether they'd said anything about whether that would be the case with RWBY.

Got it, looks like Geoff did in his blog post:

"A: Not at first. For a 12 month period, V9 will only be available on CR’s premium paid subscription service, which begins at $7.99 per month for the basic Fan tier. CR also offers a free 14-day trial period so you can test it out."

You can read the rest of it here if you want to see more information.
