Comcast's Funimation On Demand [Talkback]

[River26]

What do you guys think, with the animes starting to appear on Comcast's Funimation on Demand. Will you continue to purchase DVDs or just watch them on tv?

Animes that're already on the On Demand section under Cutting Edge and Movies and Events section

• TSUBASA RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE
• xXxHolic
• Mushi-Shi
• KenIchi: The Mightest Disciple
• Black Blood Brothers
• Suzuka

Animes to come

• Romeo X Juliet
• Heroic Age
• Murder Princess

For me, I'll just watch them on tv.

Your forgeting D-Gray-Man and Devil May Cry.

I can't check, since I'm not home, but is FUNimation On Demand on Dish Network the same lineup of shows? Also, is it Sub, Dub, or both?

FUNimation Anime is a facelift of Anime Selects. Here's our blog post to explain:

Dubs for now. We'll post subs when we get more programming capacity. The more people watching the dubs means the more capacity we get...for subs.

Tell Toei fans are stole your lunch money and won't give it back until you get the rights to load One Piece.

I personally don't mind Dub only. I usually prefer Dubs, anyway. But yeah, I second trying to get Toei to allow you guys to add One Piece. One Piece desperately needs exposure on TV now.

Ouran High School Host Club is on there too. My sister and I watched all five episodes a couple of days ago. Funny show.

 

[River26]

Yeah it is . But this hella beats comin' back to Best Buy and wastin' money.

Out of all the anime screenshots to choose.....

I pretty much hate the whole getting one free episode per show deal that's going on with Funi on Demand and then have to pay $0.99 for the other episodes. Plus I still think that I can't see the other free anime from Anime Selects since Comcast kinda put a lock on that section since every time I click on an episode, Comcast puts up an Error message.

Anyone can help me?

Hey, at least it's better than paying $5 for a PPV viewing.

You may want to give Comcast a call because that shouldn't even be happening.

Man, I was excited, until I went there today and found out they only have D-Gray Man episodes 3-8 instead of 1-8. It is pointless of me to watch it when I cannot start at the beginning.

 

[Light Ichigo]

I may start watching once the subs are up, I much prefer them to dubs.

 

[River26]

Well, you can. FUNimation is offering one such anime in it's subbed version; One Piece. And it's their subs (mind you) not the fansubbers.

 

[silvanoir]

I watched all the free ones. and "Origins". the anime selects section never worked for me (like the other person, comcast put a lock on it), so I was happy to see the Funi one go up in its place, since that is working.

I'm wondering why Mushi-shi episode 3 was skipped over? only 1, 2, and 4 showed up in my listing.

As for the question in the first post, well of course I'll end up buying something if I really liked it. But some things I do only like watching once.

Similar thing seemed to have happened to my Ouran listing.
The listing goes from 3-5, then skips to 7.

But the $0.99 does adds up in the long run. (especially for shows that are pretty long, with the way comcast seems to update every 2-3 weeks.)

So let me get this straight. Funi wants us to pay $0.99 an episode yet Funi's too cheap to add subtitles to the untranslatable Kanji? That's not right. Plus I would like to see Funi's dubs of Sgt. Frog and Soul Eater to premiere On-Demand so that way people can get a preview of what's to come for Funi's future and see if the free premieres of both shows will lead to big DVD/Blu-Ray sales.
