I guess when the site's up, I should think about joining.

It reminds me of AnimeOnline that Funi did run back in the day but then stopped running it. So I see this as an attempt to tackle Crunchyroll. Lets see how long this one will stay alive and active.

Thousands of dubbed episodes, or thousands of subbed, that's what I want to know.

I hope the player isn't as crummy as the one they currently use. When you hit fullscreen the framerate plummets and the picture quality goes to old school youtube quality (ie crap).

Speaking of the Video Portal, it lives. 
Hmm, maybe I should finally jump on the social networking bandwagon. |

If it was built by Funimation then it's probably fail. Although I guess we can look forward to many more leaked simulcasts

I'll try it once it comes out but I bet it won't be out before the end of the year if it's still in beta stage.

At first, I was like, "WOW, this is great".
Then, however, I remembered just how much Funimation fails at the internet. I hope this turns out to be great. My previous comments about their online operation criticized them for not giving online streaming the respect it warrants (which later led to episode leaks and complaints about quality and lack of more content). |

If Funi can deliver this promise, and can sort out the current legal problems with their video portal, this could well work. I still find there to be an undesirable flaw in Crunchyroll's current state however, so I'll remain cautious towards this project until I become confident that it is planned to be something better than CR for all. |

Sounds interesting, if it's going to be free to join then I will.
Even Crunchyroll has it's downfalls, a lot of people just somehow download a lot of the simcasts and put it up on sites. (I.E Hayate no Gotoku!! gets this a lot) No one reports them because the subs are only up on the 3rd party site for a few hours before a fansub is out |

-Additionally, if you have some wild notion that Funimation is somehow better at hosting streams than Crunchyroll, then you must have been sleeping under some mold-infested boulder for the past six months. Pre-Japanese-Airtime-leaks, multiple service interruptions and shutdowns, horrible quality, consistent server overloads, the list goes on..... FUNi's video hosting has just been one big train wreck after another for this entire year.

One thing I hope is that FUNimation's video player doesn't have a buffer problem like Crunchyroll and YouTube do. Crunchyroll's buffer thingy goes well at first but then it stops when it gets to the end of the episode. The buffers on YouTube don't even show up on videos posted by fans.
