This part isn't technically piracy in and of itself, but if you don't have a Plex server setup I'd highly suggest checking that out. Mine runs off a NVidia Shield TV with an 8TB HDD attached, but there's loads of other ways. Most of what I have is legit, but if there's things I can't easily stream I've been buying and ripping Blu-Ray sets (often quite cheap to get too). Once they are ripped it's basically the same as what you'd get pirated so where you get the files is irrelevant.
Where Plex comes in is I can dump the series on my hard drive and as long as the episodes are split up and named and it will pretty much turn it into my personal streaming service. Sorts into seasons, adds artwork, lets me watch on any device, keeps up with where I left off etc. The biggest thing it did was let me dust off old Blu-Ray (and a few DVD) TV sets and actually use them again because they weren't such a pain in the ass.
Which is more worth it? Crunchy roll or Funimation?
I agree.
Now I just have to find out what pirates use, because I only recently decided to abandon legit means.
