Can't you just let it buffer a while in that case? If you have bad bandwith that isn't helping much to watch it on ilegall streams or download it illegally, yes?

No the biggest one I see the most is "lol paying for anime". Subs quality is somewhere on that list too but doesn't seem to be the biggest one.

Wait the extra week as a free member? I know I have been on FUNimation's case with Barakamon, but not even premium members can watch it yet.
He is judged by the size of his...joystick. I dunno. Ive got no clue.

Mahou Shoujo princess mars!
Great episode btw,that's some good plan to beat the enemy
wait a minute, the cutie lived? This makes me happy!
Dont think about it too much. Youll just hurt yourself. Just have fun with the silliness.
1/10 i guess. :/
Wow that IS lazy.
Sometimes watching 720p/1080p on Crunchyroll is still annoying even with decent bandwidth because the player is pretty bad and the stream doesn't use your entire bandwidth.
Nah, Crunchyroll only lets it buffer a (very) small amount of time in my experience.
It probably isn't a big deal for most people, but it's hard watching shows with a lot of dark scenes (Mushishi) because of the poor video quality. I get that it has to be streamable, but it still hurts to look at sometimes.
You don't have to tell us, I guess. People just want to watch the stuff at the same time paying users do. People get ridiculous in their defense.
Common arguments:
"Well, it's like watching TV. I already pay for that." - Yeah, fuck you, that's not how it works.
"Anime are too expensive" - Yeah, maybe, but you still have to pay for a product if you want to have it and the legal steaming stuff isn't that bad.
And my favorite:
"I don't like anime, why would I pay for it?" - WHY DO YOU WATCH ANIME
I see. America is weird and expensive when it comes to internet, yes?
I think thats how most works these days due to dynamic streaming.
Another issue probably is folks who want to watch on the go but have shitty bandwidth/caps/connection issues on their phone so downloading and then transferring it to their phone is their preferred option.
I'm paying $50 for 6 down/0.75 up. I need to switch away from ADSL. .__.

The bitrate on CR is typically so poor that if you want to watch something in 720p you need to pick 1080p.

Yes in some cases. Lots of providers have caps that result in higher fees if you go over, speeds are typically not what is advertised and some will actually cut your speeds down if you use it too much. Most are expensive because competition here is awful.
I'm actually lucky the ISP I have is pretty good when it comes to internet but on the same ticket they have a monopoly on cable internet where I live so I'm boned if they decide to fuck over their customers one day.
But you are so huggable
It is. I was playing Mario Kart with my brother earlier and he had a loaded gun sitting on the bed right next to me (his concealed carry piece)
Ah yeah I forgot about that one. That's definitely one of the most common.
Yes very much so. Especially if you live out in the country where service is extremely limited.

This just sounds like an excuse. Looking back a few pages and reading "mental issues? get the fuck over it!" comes off as really insensitive.
what kind of post office has that much money on hand?
I honestly thought she shot her mom with that last shot.
i dunno if this is directed at me, but if it is i never stated what i disliked about the episode.

Speaking of subs:
Anyone find it amusing in Barakamon - 03 that the villagers were talking with such thick accents the show had Japanese subs for the Japanese viewers so that they could understand?

Glad I don't pay for cable/satellite. There's nothing to watch IMHO except for maybe the news/weather. I am fine buying my anime BDs and DVDs, whether be domestic releases or imports.
Lol at anime being too expensive. "Anything more than $30 for a complete series is too much." Hope those people are glad with owning S.A.V.E. editions.
Never heard that last one. My sister-in-law did ask why there was, and I quote, "a naked angel boy" on the spine of my Heaven's Lost Property LE box last week. Here's the boxart spine in question.

Eureka Seven - 29
Now THIS was an episode I wanted to see. Now I finally know what the big situation is and just what the hell is up with Eureka and the Gekkostate.
So I'm a little confused here. That matrix-inducing cloud thing that was the Coralian from episode 10 IS Eureka? I was aware that Eureka wasn't human, but the Coralian? So what, is a giant cloud that causes major damage Eureka's final form or something?
That would at least explain why the military wants to deal with her. But then again, isn't Anemone the same as Eureka if I remember correctly? What's the deal with her and the military if that's the case?

CAPTAIN EARTH - 16
Fairly good episode.
Puck does not lie.
This is so obvious to the viewer that arrogance and overconfidence lead to failure that i cannot help but wonder who will realise about this new turn of events. I must admit puck is playing so far his cards right.
I now wonder what they 'll do with this sub-plot . We might have a worthy final opponent at this rate.
The kiltgangs are now assembled and backed up . I'm quite happy to see the gang together because that means that more stuff , more attacks , more complicated settings can happen. It's now obvious : we're moving the battlefield soon. Let's hope that this "Final destination" delivers.
THE FIGHT
Very average fight , still pretty good transformation scene. I don't mind the long transformùation sequence since it's so well done. too bad that one was "abridged" in a way.
The fight was "not so cool". Maybe i had higher expectations but Hana had Homing laser beams in her neotony gun ..seriously. And she had the higher score in shooting . She also had a precog !
WITH SO MANY hjabilities , how the hell does they needed to use this plot device. Hezck i understand it was also forshadowed last episode BUT STILL. Battles don't need to cut this close !
Last thoughts
That was a pretty good episode when i think about it. i like the way things are going . there are however so MANY FACTIONS AT PLAY here. I'd wish one would have been taken out of the picture already !
The magical girl made a wish and it happenned ..
Can't wait for next week and the return of the belly button

Escuse i'm laughing too much ATM

That discussion was good. It actually show how thin the situation can be reversed when the situation comes since they might have reached the same conclusion as albion had they a support to fall back on when they retrieved their memories. I'm happy that captain earth doesn't forget to devellop both casts , the neotony and the kiltgangs
At least you have a good reason to be mad !

The drama club is official! Although it seems like this whole plot has been in the background the whole time, and is only brought up to transition into the next arc.
Oh, are we going to focus on Okazaki's problems now? Would be a nice topic for a final arc.
Calling his son a companion. This is quite the rift.
lol Akio.
Cohabitation time!
I guess Big Dango Family is an accurate music choice for this scene.
Is it just me, or has the visual quality improved since the beginning of the series?
Odd logic there, Kyou.
Lol, that sound effects scene.
Oh great, little kids. This will improve the show, said no one ever.
lol, Sunohara's jealousy.
And now we're back to the robot. What does it all mean?
Looks like things are gonna be happening next episode.

I didn't think Sailor Moon of all things would suffer from this being the series that it is... Especially with the episodes two weeks apart.

A death of kings!
Don't they do One Piece? Or has it gone on for so long and the crew is so tired that nothing matters and it's running on a shoestring budget?
Well I can understand it. Its pretty much why I have stopped buying video content on disc, aside from an occasional title in Christmas sales. Especially when 90% of my discs have been watched once or twice at best.

Okay, at this point I'd like you to actually give us the comments being that obnoxious about it, because I can't remember anything that bad.
I doubt many here are seriously not believing in mental traumas...
I for one explained in detail what rubs me the wrong way about this. And no, it's far from SAO's biggest issues but one can certainly talk about it.

I fully understand everyone has different buying habits. I buy the series I want to support, and hope the series I stream help warrant a future physical release. I too don't often watch some series more than once after purchasing them, but what can you do owning 44 anime series along with 65 anime OSTs listen to and 100+ individual manga and LN volumes to read.
Happiness Charge Precure! 25
In which the show begins pushing towards the Hime/Seiji pairing even stronger. Apparently he sees Megumi as being like a sister to him, which means that's out of the question. And Yuyu's not being shipped with anybody besides food. She just enjoys watching all the love drama play out in front of her. The training camp two parter was fun, but it looks like it's going to be bleeding into next week. I can't remember the last time a Precure series had a romance subplot like this.
Cure of the Week: Rikka, poster girl for either shipping with the villains, shipping with her mascot, or shipping with Mana, depending on who you talk to.

I want to like Sailor Moon more but there are so many quality control issues that I notice while I'm watching it that detract from the overall experience.
I don't like naming names but the comment in the vein of that quote is definitely back there if you really want to look for it.
I still can't get over Sailor Moon's voice. They should have recast her.
Usagis voice is properly grating on the ears. Unfortunately they nailed it.
not necessarily. There have been some bad remakes and some that were good, just different. Its too early to say what this show is yet.
Im not so sure. Streaming is something the new audience is familiar with. Why would they stream the old series again and then a new one? It doesnt make sense to remake a beloved series just for old fans especially if they have access to the superior old series. They are trying to reestablish Sailor Moon for a new generation of fans.
Transformers: Age of Duckroll Future
What I watched:
What I expected:
What I got:
Watched in 3D. It was ok. Not as bad as 2, not as good as 1 or 3.
3/5 duckrolls:
This movie has so far been the only Transformers by Michael Bay that I actually enjoyed. Absolutely despised the other ones. This one was great.
