I was surprised at the date of the last post as well. Didn't know what to do about the catch 22 of necroposting vs. creating an existing topic, so I just went with the former lol
I Figured a show that's been available and accessible on Netflix for as long as it has would have at least added some posts to this topic during the course of its run. I was also surprised to find the topic was still only one page long! After five years! Weird. But oh well, major bumpage if nothing else. I would still recommend it though. For all its flaws, It's is mildly amusing and very easy to get through (I did it in two days). |

I'm glad to see other people still enjoying this show! It doesn't demand much brain power, but the action and the awesome fight music make it worth checking out alone.
I was hesitant to watch this show at first, because I thought it was going to be a lot more bloody than it turned out to be. |

This one was fun. I'd never even heard of it until the DVD came out and I picked it up a couple years ago though.

For anyone else interested in checking it out, it will be pulled from Netflix tomorrow. So if you have their instant streaming service, give it a shot!
A bunch of other shows are being pulled soon too (Sands of Destruction, El Cazador de la Bruja, S.T.R.A.I.N, Air Gear, Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, among others). Seems like, recently, more anime is being removed from Netflix than is being added. In fact, I don't think ANY new series have been added in the past six months or so while about half of their anime selection has been removed in that time. I sincerely hope they're not just planning on slowly getting rid of anime altogether

Mere coincidence that those are all Funimation titles? Too bad, I use Netflix streaming for random Sgt. Frog episodes almost every evening (and it never gets old.) Could you please post a link to your source for this info? Thanks. |

Uhh, well, my source is Netflix itself (streaming on PS3). When I highlight a particular show that's scheduled to be removed, it'll say 'Available until (date)' at the bottom of the description, and then the show will just disappear from the service on that date. Highlighting Excel Saga today, for example, gives you a message in the bottom right portion of the screen in a rectangular box that says, 'Available until Jan 17,' and, sure enough, come January 17, the show will vanish from the interface. Usually though, it'll only tell you if a show is being pulled within a week or two of the pull date. I have to cycle through my queue every so often to make sure none of the anime titles I have in there are being removed (lest I have to marathon through a series in a few short days in order to watch it before it's gone). Netflix is and always has been incredibly secretive about what's being uploaded and what's being removed, so there's no actual source that has a complete (or even partial) list of what's coming/going and when it's happening. The closest I've found to a website that has such information is streamingsoon.com - but even that website isn't 100% accurate all the time; not to mention most of its pages come up blank. The only page on that site that actually shows any info is the main page that has future upload dates within a month or so of the current date (and even that list tends to miss many major shows/films that are added in that time period). |

Also, since you mentioned it, I just noticed that Sgt. Frog's first two seasons were pulled, leaving only season three's 27 episodes available for streaming (similar to what occurred with FMA: Brotherhood - which I know happened due to a licensing dispute or something along those lines). Let's hope this removing of certain seasons from anime doesn't become commonplace, as it would render most serialized shows with multiple seasons pointless to watch.

OK, sorry for that seemingly stupid(and somewhat off-topic) question. But I've never actually noticed that with Netflix. I was going make up an excuse, like that their Roku app doesn't have this feature, but, sure enough, it does.
Anyway, Funimation added a ton of titles to Netflix in a relatively very short time. It would appear that many of their shows have, or are about to expire.
Back on topic: Anyone who's interested, Murder Princess is still available on their dvd rental service. You can watch the whole thing in one go, it's all on one disk. |

Yeah unlike streaming that doesn't seem to expire unless someone finally physically breaks the last disc, usually the USPS. There's still old stuff on there that's been long out of print had it's license expire.
