Why it's not there? what's the point of streaming on a ps3 when you still restrict your channel in US and Canada only?

I'm sure people there have stable access to different anime channels like Funimation and won't feel the need to go online on a console 24h a day to watch a channel for 7 dollars a month + adds.

well, people in other parts of the world won't mind that especially those who have no other means to watch anime but the Internet (like Me).

some here would kill for a descent anime channel while others whine about how it's Dub-only or doesn't have an on-demand feature.

Pretty ironic, I'd say.

Simple answer: Viz is an R1 licensor and therefore only operates in the US and Canada. Any regions beyond that have other distributors and Viz can't very well interfere with whatever it is their doing.

What if those areas have no official holdings? don't think the Japanese companies would really dwell on those regions if no one there reached out to them for shows.
They could tolerate the ps3 thing, I hope.

Last time I checked, Neon Alley is a North America only thing, there's no European version of this yet.

European anime rights are a tad different, also they are another region code altogether.

uh dude, 4kids can't get anymore anime. I don't think you didn't read this article but since you're new here on ANN, I'm going to assume you don't read a lot about the world of anime.

whether or not you get those shows depends on your local UK licensors
