| I've been able to watch the whole Dragonball special with a decent amount of lag. The special had the right mix of comedy and little action. I was glad just about everybody got a good moment in and it wasn't focused on one person. I wouldn't mind seeing a new Dragonball special every year. |

Actually I think it does continue loading after you pause. It just doesn't give any indication of how much has been loaded. |

I do use the NetMeter application to monitor my bandwidth usage all the time. It stops immediately after hitting pause. The traffic statistics on my router confirm that behaviour.

Worked fine for me first time. Only seen the DB special so far, which I enjoyed with a stupid grin on my face the entire time.  |

That Dragon Ball special put a huge smile on my face. I'd forgotten how fun it could be watching that program.
Appreciated the subtitles, too.

Worked for me. I'm using Vista.
I saw Letter Bee and hope that this one comes over too. Pretty please VIZ.
I haven't watched the other 2 yet but I hope that FUNi brings them over. |

I felt the same way, I wouldn't mind seeing a new DRAGONBALL special, every year, It's one of my favourite anime/manga ever!!
I don't care, if DRAGONBALL is over 100 episodes long, it's fun to watch, and an all around enjoyable program, besides anime was meant to be enjoyable (apparently a lot of fans these days don't see that and it makes me sad, I mean there are very few anime and manga I don't like, as well as hate, I'm sure Konata and her father, Soujirou from Lucky☆Star, would agree to this), especially if you're watching it uncut,the manga is even more enjoyable (if you're reading it uncut and not butchered like what VIZ did to it)!! |

(1) Remove CCCP driver set if installed - it conflicts with it
(2) Download and install the player
(3) Click on the link for the move you want to view and either let it pop up under IE or select Open under Firefox.
If your internet connection is LESS than about 2mbps it may not work right, stutter, stall, etc. |

| Wow, that was really good! It took awhile to get used to the storybook art, but overall the DB special was fun to watch! I'm happy they kept the original Japanese music score. Are they to make more of these? |

| thoroughly enjoyed this DRAGON BALL Z special. I wish DRAGON BALL Z had more episodes like this, really smacks of some of the light themes of the series which I always thought it did well. Wouldn't mind seeing Gokuu and Vegeta go at it again too.[/i] |

Not bad at all. It was nice seeing a new Dragonball, and One Piece was okay - I may have to start watching it again. But Letter Bee was great. I am looking forward to its official launch next year.
Definitely an old-style player based on pre-existing code and not updated to something more present. You need both a high end processor and a high speed broadband connection to make this work, unfortunately. And it does not cache more than a few seconds of video - which really bites - if it at least cached the whole thing, it could be viewable perfectly. Definitely NOT meant for worldwide distribution and only distribution in Japan. They assume you have a no more than 2 month old machine and a 10Mbps or greater internet connection. |
