You can transfer your watchlist and show progress to Crunchyroll, but the only thing that doesn't transfer is digital purchases. I don't think many people actually have purchased content, so most people aren't losing anything.
Edit: dang man people hate this comment lol, I wasn't trying to say it wasn't a bad move. The less-than-most people who did purchase digital copies are getting screwed.
Edit 2: I didn't really consider the digital copies that come with dvd and blu-ray purchases. The notice they sent me sounded like they didn't have any of this implemented in crunchyroll. It smells like they are testing how much money they can save against how much revenue is lost from people leaving because of this before making any promises.
Shit, I didn't realize that people are actually losing digital purchases. That's like the worst thing you can lose. I was wondering what everyone was upset since I didn't read the article (sorry) until I saw your comment.
This is a really shitty move by them. I even say this as someone who likes Crunchyroll and has been using them for years.
Edit: Apparently it's only free digital copies, not purchases, but it's still shitty regardless.
