Shugo Chara is one of the shows that will be streaming only an hour after airing in Japan for premium members, so yes, Shugo Chara Doki! is part of it.
They will likely upload the rest of the episodes to the first season and the recent doki episodes soon, and will have episode 65 up within an hour after it airs in Japan on the 10th.

The only show ANN listed that appealed to me was Chrono Crusade though I already have the box set so its not worth joining yet.

How is this overpriced? You pay <$1.50/ep per episode if you watch 1 show and you pay even less the more shows you watch.

Why the hell is Naruto.com using the streams from Hulu.com anyway? If they used the Joost ones, at least then they could provide service to everyone who actually lives in the region they hold the rights to the property in.
Kinda sucks if I want to watch a series in something besides TV Tokyo's pathetically low resolutions on Crunchyroll. I have to say that was a serious disappointment.

And so it begins.
Three questions:
1) Are the "old" episodes of shows (like the first 8 episodes of Shippuden) available in CR's HD stream? I would like to know before I pay for it.
2) For Naruto Shippuden, are the subtitles themselves the same between Naruto.com/Hulu and Crunchyroll?
3) It may be impossible to know the answer to this question right now, but will all the episodes stay online, even the simulcast ones? Or will they be removed in like a week or something?

Well if it is true that CR is dropping all of their unauthorized content, then I can finally start saying good things about them.
Of course didn't they say something like this once before?

As thrilled as I am to see this, with Naruto in particular, I'd love to see 'em eventually upload the dubbed ver. as well. *still waiting anxiously*
But overall this is a great start, I believe, to slowing the flood of fansubs.

Just bought my one year subscription. It's high quality video, acceptable translations, downloadable, on-demand and the selection keeps growing. What's not to like?
The subscription is ridiculously cheap, about half what I expected to pay (though this is a special, so that may not last). Doesn't mean I won't watch fansubs, doesn't replace buying DVDs. Doesn't ignore ANN and other ad-supported content, either, but it's a bit cleaner process.
The money paid sends at least some revenue back to the creators, which is just the right thing to do, but also helps keep them making more anime. As the number of subscribers and viewers increase, the data will feed into decisions on what to create and what to license. Those that complain about their favorite shows not being released on DVD may get some satisfaction.
I think it's all good. BTW, for those saying there is only one show they like now, if Shugo Chara! did get licensed here, you're sure to pay more than $59.95 for just that show.

Yes, the slowing of fansubs. Because they'll always be around, even without Dattebayo, or with constant threats from funimation or with scammers and profiters like crunchyroll. I'll take high quality download over low-quality stream, then i'll buy the DVD's.

8 episodes per week? That's good. 8 episodes of Shippuden is about 2 or 3 chapters, so that makes for a good pace.
Seriously, this is great. The subs are white and readable. But Viz didn't translate the songs. The Viz logo on the video is slightly too big, as well.
These are just minor things, though, but I hope that they'll work on them.

There are still a TON of series left for them to put up after these first few 130 or so. All of the old fansubs are being replaced by fresh HD raws from the studios, and .ass files are being uploaded to the to supply soft subtitles to all the files, so people can automatically view the subtitled language of choice. Crunchyroll is the number one source for all VOD anime now! |
130 shows?
Is there a list of these somewhere?
Or do you mean 130 episodes?

Too bad it's not. =P DB has already said time and time again they are officially stopping fansubs of Shippuuden on the 15th in support of the official release. Which is really awesome; I've been waiting for some sort of official release so I didn't resort to fansubs.
Although I rather watch the dub, but that's still a long time away.
