I was just thinking and remember a post on it earlier... It'd be reallt cool if a large ammount... (or decent anyway ammount) of anime that was braought stateside was sold on demmand for download for a small price. I'm aware that Funimation does it with a few of their anime... ADV does it with VERY VERY few anime... they used to have more... I even got one but for some reason when I open it in WMP it says that the contant ID is unknwwn... whatever that means...

Anyhow, I think this would be really good because I really don't like dealing with DVDs... and I'm not all that about box art anyway... I just want the main thing... the show. So I went and got some stuff off Funimation and actually enjoyed it 1. because it was good, 2. because it was cheaper than a DVD, and 3. because I could watch it RIGHT AWAY! I payed like 40 for some DVDs and am STILL waiting (It's been a bit less than a week now) for those to get here.... COme to find out.... I ran accross them on the net at one of those video upload sites... I didn't watch them because I had already ordered them on DVD and will wait for those... but.... I am all for supporting the companies and will more happily pay them if I can get the episode(s) right away or nearly right away. I'm shopping for anime 'cause I wanna watch it now, not next week. I know I can go out to the store... but.... I m;ean.... it's just easier this way... if it WERE this way...

Meh, that was pretty much just a giant rant to say that it'd be great if there was some place that did that. (is there legally)? If so, that'd be SO WONDERFUL!!!! ... let's not forget it's cheaper...

You should really look into getting Netflix. They have a ton of anime and it is really cheap. I think I only pay $19.99 a month and I get a ton of anime sent to my door. Sure I do not own the titles, but I get to watch whatever I want. Plus most of their anime is available for download on your PC so you can watch it on the go.

Greetings.

I had started up a thread discussing a few of the options available to consumers to watch / buy anime in an online form. Here's the link...

I hope that has some information that would be of assistance to you.
