Now if they can get "Tsugumomo", my seasonal tradition of having at least 1-2 fan service-heavy shows will continue.

Guess I'm the rare odd girl out, have zero interest in streaming and never will so I blind buy everything on bluray/dvd when it releases, doesn't hurt the fact that hundreds of blurays/dvd's later I've yet to regret a single blind buy purchase as I pretty much love every single anime I'm ever watch, If I think the cover on the dvd/bluray is pretty I have a perfect track record of liking the show! I've only streamed a single show out of nessecity because Crunchyroll was (Ironically though I know they paid for it) the only place that had the English dub of Free! S1 and I couldn't very well watch my copy of the Funimation S2 bluray without seeing S1.

I'm well aware that streams can expire, which is why I chose to buy so much of my anime. Not to mention, you don't have to worry about servers going down, slow speeds, etc. However, I'm not going to buy every single show just because the stream might expire. For instance, I would have loved to buy some of Aniplex's releases, but I simply can't justify paying $60-80 for one volume, when that same price will get me two regular edition Blurays from Sentai or Funimation, or a really nice collector's edition. Nor am I going to purchase a show that I will probably never watch again. Usually when I do check out a stream to help with a purchasing decision, I only check out a few episodes. The only one I've ever watched the whole way through was High School of the Dead. Also, it's way, way too early to say what's going to happen with these shows in regards to their home video release and possible dubs. Sentai has said time and time and time again that online streaming numbers are only one of the factors they look at. Many people said Chivalry of a Failed Knight would never get a dub because it's simulcast was a Hulu exclusive. But due to the feedback of fans, Sentai not only dubbed it, but is also giving it a premium edition release. If you really think a show should get a dub, then do as people do now and contact Sentai and let them know what you think. Not to mention, Amazon has been actively acquiring new dubbed content for Anime Strike as well. It's entirely feasible that they could want these dubbed for their service as well. After all, increased dubbed content would be a good way to differentiate it from CR. We just have to wait and see, and stop jumping on conclusions based on nothing. |

Good for those who have Prime and Strike! and don't mind the extra fee.
But myself being in a place with no Strike! and no use for Prime(not that most anime titles on it would be available here anyway), I'll be watching this ripped, at my convenience, as well as other Amazon-exclusive titles I'm interested to check out... ...nooow that I think about it, I'm not too bothered by this 'exclusivity'.

Being a copyright minimalist, I have not as much as respect for big companies like Amazon crying foul to rips when Amazon has the $ to essentially bypass most region-blocks. They are a multi-billion dollar company yet the region-block card is still thrown. |
