Sorry if this is the wrong section, I wasn't entirely sure. But anyways, has anyone noticed the large selection of anime that is available on netflix to view instantly? They have the complete episodes of Last Exile, Gankutsuou, Noein, Air and even some movies like Perfect Blue, Appleseed and Steamboy. I have the two-disc-at-a-time subscription and I can watched an unlimited amount of movies online so it's a pretty cool way to legally see entire shows on the internet.

I have noticed that lately. I even started watching Ghost in the Shell for all of about 2 minutes, then remembered I can't handle watching whole episodes on computer. It bugs the heck out of me. I think it's my chair. Not too comfortable. So I'm just going to have to get the disc from Netflix.

However, I really like the idea of getting movies to watch right away, and not having to pay more on your subscription for them. Now if only I had a better chair.

For those who have used this for anime, is there an option to select the language track, or is it limited to the English language dub?

Unfortunately only the dubs are offered.

That's what I figured. Oh well, only 2 of the series in my queue currently even have the option. Thanks for the information though.

from what I remember it's not actually unlimited. The amount of hours/month that you get to watch their streamed media is equal to the dollars/month that you spend on your subscription.

That said, It looks like they have expanded their selection quite a bit since I was a member.

I don't know how it used to be, but the online streaming is unlimited now. My roomate has it, and he has the cheapest, 1-disc-at-a-time plan, and he watches hours and hours and hours of streaming online. (That's the only reason he has it, really).
