I know this post was directed at me even though you didn't quote my post. Sadly you didn't actually read my post and just assumed I was complaining, otherwise you would have seen where I said I would take ads and SD quality if it meant I could watch something whenever I wanted to and in full screen. I think that's a fair trade off, I'm not the kind of person who needs to see things in the best quality around. I also like how you make not having full screen seem like such a minor thing. It's standard issue, name another player that doesn't have that option (aside from embedded ad players). Emerje |

No, Niconico is another company that joins Crunchyroll in terms of anime licensing. The logistics of marketing anime through streaming is a different animal than marketing anime DVDs plus 1) None of the companies that stream directly for profit release DVDs and 2) None of the companies that release DVDs stream for profit. So it's as if when you are talking about Niconico and Funimation you're talking about two different companies that are selling two entirely different products. |

I know the reason. Just was making an example that just because it has the name CLAMP on it doesn't mean everything by them will automatically get licensed (granted, pretty much all their titles did but as you said XXXHolic didn't sell well). Blood-c wasn't very well liked by Anime fans, even though I personally liked it, and Kobato took over a year to get picked up (yet notice how Funimation seemed to have snubbed the series so we only got a sub-only release by Sentai). I still pray that someone will someday pick up Kei and the OVA's. |

Because it's supposed to be a premium only option like on JP. Non-payers only get browser full-window and you pay for the bonus of the true full screen. |

So, it sounds like Blood-C is guaranteed to be a Funimation title, but then this speaks the same for R-15 and the Twin Sparkle Crap.
So if Blood-C's a Funi title, odds are most likely that either Monica Rial or Brittney Karbowski's gonna voice Saya. I just felt it the first time I saw the show. Would like to see it again uncensored, if I can just fast forward all the other parts. |

They can go nuts with Twin Angel and do a pretty off the wall dub for it if they wanted too. But even if it did good for N2 that does not mean Funi is going to license it. |

Another reason being you can't comment in "true" fullscreen. |

They should have made the comments the paid perk, not full screen. How did this player ever become popular in Japan, I just don't get it? Emerje |

That is rather difficult to do when the option is greyed out: http://i51.tinypic.com/2v9ay53.png As has been noted, the option you are referring to is only available to premium users. While the premium accounts can be had for only 25 cents currently, you can bet it won't be anywhere close to that inexpensive when they emerge from beta (which should be happening soon). I just noticed it states, "Englarge to fullscreen view".

Looks like Funimation is moving up somehow. Let's hope they are making good choices. Never thought I would see this merger.

All I know is that I'm looking forward to seeing the end result. Sure, there are concerns (always are... I'm paranoid
), but this IMO this is a good move for them.
