...Aand we in the rest of the world will watch it the 'usual' way. As always... Looking forward to this. Edit;
Wait... If it's streaming on youtube as well, why is it mentioned to be exclusive to HIDIVE? Last edited by Blanchimont on Mon Jun 26, 2017 11:54 am; edited 1 time in total |

Looks like it is also streaming for free on Youtube. So that's cool

I'll be curious to see how aggressive Sentai gets with licensing. HIDIVE will need content to make it work, and Sentai likely has more money than usual through those licensing deals with Amazon last season. Plus, Sentai is at least aware that people were not receptive to Anime Strike.

Probably the English subbed version will be exclusive, I'd think. Perhaps the Youtube streaming will be region locked as well? I dunno. |

I do not worry about HIDIVE having enough content because Sentai already has a ton of stuff on there. I support Sentai having simulcasts exclusively in Anime Strike if it nets them a lot of money. But I rather see HIDIVE take off and have Sentai put all of their simulcasts in there. Right know I have Strike, but I can see myself canceling it and subscribing to HIDIVE.

Sentai needs to pick a platform to stick all their simulcasts on and stick with it.

That might be a significant understatement, I've been told the response to Sentai was overwhelmingly negative. In any case they are most assuredly aware. I've been using HiDive over the past week and I'm keeping it. HTML 5 based player and nice fast streaming, a few glitches which would be expected for a "Beta" site. Pretty responsive help and nothing to complain about other than that they don't have everything Sentai has ... yet. Mark Gosdin |

In the future, especially when they upload the entirety of LotGH, I might switch out my Strike subscription for HIDIVE. My main problem with it is that there is no current mobile support. I don't use my laptop that much, so if they add apps for IOS/Android, as well as PS4/Xbox, I might just go with this.

Well, they haven't tried Funimation yet so... fingers crossed? I'm already a HIdiver... for the dubs... so this is a nice little bonus. I'm not expecting any more Dive exclusives as TAN only had just one last season. Kind of similar to this one, come to think, a commercial disguised as a show that stars only girls. |

Also no apps at the moment, but they've already stated that they're working on them. |

I'm kinda hoping once HiDive takes off and gets a lot of good feedback they will put most their simulcasts on there instead of Anime Strike. I'm sure there are a few people who like that service, but it is honestly horrible. I've subbed to HiDive and it is amazing I will continue to support it along with Crunchyroll.

It doesn't have an app, but it uses HTML5, so it works in most mobile browsers. I'm able to stream in Safari with no issues. I wish it would work over AirPlay though, at least until the apps are ready to go. Considering the issues that TAN had, I'm really quite impressed with how well HIDIVE has turned out. It has a modern, user friendly interface, and it seems quick and reliable. I've had no issues since the day of their initial launch. I too would love to see it take off and become the home of most, if not all of Sentai's simulcasts. But I can see how it would be hard, and probably impossible, of turn down Amazon's money. Hopefully, they will get a few more of them in future seasons, but at least adding new dubs is worth something. |
