Just like other people were saying, the auto-playing for the video is kind of annoying and I end up scrolling too far down to the point where I make the video start playing when I didn't mean too. I like how you guys are doing this new type of video news recap and I appreciate it but if you could just have some button or so to stop the auto-play then that'll be great.

Good ideal not so great implementation maybe have links to the video in the side bar as stumbling into a video that auto plays is not great for many reasons mobile data plans being one not bought up yet

I wouldn't mind them if they didn't autoplay.

I thought that is what they were, too. So, I haven't actually watched one yet since I would move on once I finished the article. I'm so used to ads auto-playing that I just assumed that is what they were. I second what CeaseActivity said, as well. Putting them somewhere on the front page, like the banner, makes more sense since it is easy to find, and clearly shows what it is. Based on the comments so far, it is pretty clear that the current placement makes it look too much like an ad. Something that is easily accessible for those who want it, or easy to bypass for those who don't, makes more sense than an auto-playing video at the end of multiple articles. |

Has anyone mentioned yet that autoplay is the devil?
It's not just annoying, it's alarming. I do not like it when my computer starts talking to me when I didn't tell it to, like it's possessed. The only redeeming quality here is that it only starts when I reach the end of an article instead of upon loading a page, and I can easily find it and shut it the f*ck up, unlike some autoplay ads that I have to mute my computer because I can't figure out where the hell they hid it on the page. That I went looking for where to complain about it should tell you how much I hate it. I really, really hate it. Stop it. |

Like most here, I also despise the new ads/videos. I have never been ok with auto-playing videos on any site I visit...in fact, I have been known to visit those sites LESS frequently because of them.
90% of the time, my headphones are on as my husband and I have our computers set up next to each other. I was reading a review for a current show I had just finished watching (so my volume was pretty high), and suddenly I have the ever-loving crap scared outta me when the ad started up (thankfully my drink was on my desk and not in my hand or I probably would have taken a shower...). Please kill the auto-play. |

The common thread here is Auto-play is annoying.
I agree turn off Auto-play I did finally watch the video after reading this thread.. content wise its acceptable. It's a nice little roundup if you want to watch it.. the same can be gathered from the articles in print. |

Remove them from the bottoms of all the articles and make them their own article. That way, everybody wins.

First I want to say how sad it is, that those videos don't autoplay for me. Theerefore I didn't even notice them until this news and wouldnt have noticed them for weeks to come I assume because theyre awkwardly placed. I also dont need them, but they might be interesting for people who want to catch up with the days/weeks news. If thats the intended audience, theyre still awkwardly placed as many pointed out.

I find them to be okay, but I'd find it better if you include them as a separate article, like "Your daily anime news round-up in 5 minutes" instead of an autoplay ad-like system

These videos should be or could be better on Youtube, as a way to attract viewers to the site, or as a way to get some of the news on a quick manner. And if they get to youtube they should be longer. If you recap weekly news, there should be more news put into every video.
If you put these on Youtube, you can attract attention for your channel |

I don't mind that video ad being there, but at least please disable the auto-play because no one likes auto-play for ads. Thank you.

I have Ad Guard and Disable Autoplay, but I'm assuming that the video is that ginormous FMA image at the bottom of a bunch of articles?
Here are my thoughts: 1) As others have said, autoplay is horrible. At best, it's an annoyance. At worst, it can startle people, it could get someone in trouble (if they have sound up), it eats bandwidth, etc. 2) Assuming it is the FMA thing I saw, it's HUGE! It takes up the entire width of the article space, meaning it's way bigger than other images on the site. 3) I have assumed for a while that ANN has no intention of being mobile-friendly (the site force-loads all of the images before switching to my preferred no-images option), and this is just going to eat data. I don't have unlimited data, and now I cannot even check the site on my phone, lest my data get leeched. 4) It's unwanted. I doubt there's anyone who checks every article. People read what they're interested in. If, by chance, I miss something (usually because it's in the rotating header, which I always skip past), I'll notice the thread in the forums and check it out there. Forcing people to watch/listen to a news recap on every article is a) overkill, and b) going to turn people away from the site (as many others have commented). 5) If you intend to continue with this feature, I would definitely suggest making it its own article, perhaps stickied somehow to the top (or put in the top of the sidebar). If someone wants to watch it, they can go to its own page. You could even set it up similarly to the episode reviews, where you can go to each day/week/whatever's and view them. And at that point, autoplay doesn't even matter. Because people will have chosen to go to the video page, and are expecting it. |

I'm very happy being a Subscriber protects me from these auto-play videos. Is this an evil scheme to encourage more people to become Subscribers?
