I send an email to GDH because I had problems with downloding on crunchyroll due to the regional restrictions that were mentioned nowhere. Well, I got an answer yesterday that "could" interest some of you:

Dear <removed>,

Thank you for your email.
Regarding your questions, about distribution by Crunchyroll, we are still coordinate.

BOST TV is also be offering downloads of these two titles with good quality.
BOST TV can be watch all over the world except Japan.

<BostTV> (paid streaming):

We appreciate your continuing support for us.

Sincerely yours,
GDH K.K.


Seems that they still need to discuss things with crunchyroll.

That' odd then, seeing as the admin acts like an idiot, and the interview with Vu said one of the other staff was a college drop-out.



Bill Gates (head of Microsoft) was a drop out from Harvard apparently and look at him now.

The "shinji" persona is a PR thing to get the teens to identify with the site more. Just look at that avatar. It screams "outsider youth with inferiority complex". The fact that it's Shinji should have also been a red flag.

You should have realised this by now.


It all makes sense on reading that "anti-crunchyroll" blog.

I agree with you. After all these months, I actually did belive a person named "Shinji" existed. Now for all we know he/she/it/ could be PR or simply a bot.

I am glad I visited this fourm, because I will never donate to Crunchyroll again. Besides, the community at Crunchyroll usually just donate for fame and such.

As mentioned earlier, the Crunchyroll PayPal Checkout link didn't work for me and many others. I'd expect that this put off a heap of people who would otherwise have been interested in paying for the episodes.

Agreed that Blassreiter was uninteresting. Really liked the first Druaga ep, though, and was looking forward to buying the next one as a full-res AVI :/.

The BitTorrent stream is for US residents only, by the way.

Wait, what's this? I didn't hear about any official distribution using bittorrent?

Would ANN like to elaborate on this?

Well here it is on BitTorrent. Now I would like to know what the heck is going on here.

It's back up, and it looks like the Paypal link is working now.

By the way, was the Paypal link ever not working for Blassreiter? ...Is it working now?

...

...Is your refrigerator running?

The Blassreiter PayPal link wasn't working for me before, too. I don't know if it was broken for everyone, but I heard some other people saying it was broken for them, too.

Both PayPal links seem to be working for me now.
