Does anyone find that watermark incredibly distracting and intrusive? Same goes for the subs which for some reason are surrounded by a black block instead of it being transparent.


Well canadian viewers should be glad the're getting it free and most importantly,leagly. Isn't that a good thing???

Might I note that much like Bandai Entertainment, Funimation does not licence its shows outside R1, instead sublicensing them to other companies.
Funimation however does stream its shows to countries outside R1, regardless of their availability within such areas. This suggests that an R1 company does not necessarily have to region lock.


It's not necessary, so long as they could afford it in the contract. The Japanese aren't gonna give it away for free. Laughing

Well that's cool, I'll just keep taking it for free if that's what's going down.

Holy hell...do you take some perverse pleasure in parroting yourself here, there, and everywhere? If you're going to keep downloading, then do it, and don't tell us at every feasible opportunity. It's as though you take more satisfaction from being contrary than from actually watching anime.

who's the brilliant person from Bandai who suggested they use all japanese script adverts on the NA streams?

seems they aren't going to try and get local advertising dollars which seems to miss the entire point of streaming in R1.
