Someone gotta send them a message explaining that most people won't watch this shit if it's dubbed. Seriously.
Also, in their FAQ: "The video availability varies depending on the country." Well. Guess the pirates will still be the winners. What a shame. |

WC3 just approved the draft specification for HTML5 video DRM earlier this week, so it may be a while yet. YouTube doesn't have to be that concerned about about slapping DRM on most of their videos; that is usually a content provider stipulation. As an example, I'll wager neither of these YouTube videos is available in HTML 5 video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWtuU5H6BdQ&list=ELHyzWLVEjQgs&index=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8J7BWmQa9A&list=UUUlvYyW7UVtNJQ1KTv_Bsdg&index=13 Both those are legal anime on YouTube. The only legit video site I've seen that had some regular anime series without DRM was NicoNico.com, and I always wondered if the content providers were aware they were doing that. |

It may or may not be. We won't know until they get the site fixed because everyone's getting that, including the US |

It's because of the video player they're using. Brightcove automatically filters the video quality according to your internet speed. The slower your connection, the worse the picture. I'm not a fan of that since I'm on a slowish DSL connection and would rather let a video buffer than to be given sub 480p streams. |

I don't know. Layzner for one is getting subs and it might stop doing so if it gets streamed. I'd rather not gamble on it. |

Jeez, whoever programmed the site obviously didn't have a native english speaker to help out. Lupin the 3rd seems to be the one with most translation errors.
They really need to improve the encoding of the player. Most of the time it kept giving random error messages. Gundam Seed HD Remaster episodes seem to look worse on their player than the same episodes on Sunrise's Gundam Youtube account. It is nice to see that survey. Kinda shocked to see Gundam X & Birdy the Mighty on there. One due never being licensed in the US. The other due to the license being in limbo ever since CPM went out of business and thus, making existing copies really expensive.
Once Bandai completely shut down, most of their licensed stuff was pulled down. Z Gundam, Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny, 0079 Gundam were pulled from Crunchyroll. Kurokami & Ghost Slayers Ayashi were pulled from their Youtube account. I'm guessing CR has an agreement with Kadokawa, since Lucky Star & Haruhi Suzumiya are still on their site. |

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would ever be excited about double Zeta... |

What kind of weird business logic can be behind some of these regional restrictions? For example, I can't watch Madoka Magica. I mean, it's not Aniplex of America, right? It's Aniplex proper, right? Surely they should have the right to let all regions not already covered by streaming licenses watch their cartoons on Daisuki. Commercial anime, excluding Ghibli movies, is pretty much completely, utterly dead in my region, so I can't imagine any licensee making a fuss about it.
I'm all like, "hey, TMS, lemme watch Lupin, you've got nothing to lose!" and they're all like "ahaha nope". Real mature, guys.

Bearing in mind that the service has just started out, it wouldn't hurt to provide some quality feedback to the head honchos who run it.
If they choose to ignore our feedback in favor of their own interests, then we have sufficient means to whine, bitch and moan all we want. They're the ones who will lose out in the end when they realize that the fans will turn tail and move to greener pastures a.k.a. Crunchyroll. |

Is that Z Gundam dub the one where they can't pronounce the mecha's name they say "Gundamn"?

Would like to have both a sub and dub option. Most of these type of sites usually have only sub. Wouldn't mind waiting sometime later if it has a dub option(like batches of an episode every few weeks).

When I tried to vote on shows I only got a list from A through C. Also I wondered about the difference between titles in upper- and lower-case. Perhaps the ones in upper are owned by the partners, and the others are not? I didn't see any explanation for the different cases on the list page either.

Quite frankly as someone who's seen 99% of Gundam material I can safely say there's a lot to like about ZZ. It's only major downside is that it's first third is more comedic in tone than Z. The Mecha design is some of my favorite in the UC series, the music is awesome. Judau Ashta is quite frankly a badass. Haman is easily the strongest female Villain in Gundam and we get proper closure to Kamille's story line. As far as the Zeta Dub goes, it's the way I personally prefer to watch the series though it is clunky and slightly discontinuous because they had to use Blue Water instead of Ocean Group (because of striking at the time). If you all think it's a bad dub oh boy the horrors you've missed. I do agree they should try to make both language options available where possible though, but instead of griping and boycotting a clear effort to reach out to western fans, give them feedback. Use the Contact Us link to tell them what you think is wrong, vote in the survey, follow them on facebook or twitter. |
