For this you have to wait for the broadcast time, then you can watch it. I think so, at any rate 0.o

So how is this one, folks? Worth watching for the general non-fujoshi-but-okay-with-homosexuality audience?

Is this not working for people? Are you outside of North America or something?

Because we ARE getting views...

Yup (well, we pay Aniplex, and part of that goes to the artists in one form or another).

Conversely, excessive scamming of the system like that pisses off advertisers, which eventually pushes CPM rates down and decreases the amounts that we get paid, and are therefore able to pay to Aniplex, who then have less for the advertisers.

Tempest, are we able to pay for it directly again in that case?

i'm really not trying to scam the system, i'm just wanting to show enthusiastic support.

i'm not actually interested in either of the 2 current simulcasts, but i am interested in supporting the artists at the studios, and supporting ANN at the same time. (i'd be even more thrilled to support a Madhouse or Studio IG or Studio 4C show, so i'm hoping throwing my support in early will help you expand later).

i went to the "My ANN/Subscription" page and the main "Video/anime" page and the main "togainu no chi" page but didn't see anything there so i'm assuming the option to pay the $5 was somewhere i didn't look? or maybe i just missed it. Sad

i really think this is a great direction you all are taking.

(i hope one day you're interested in and able to expand out into online digital manga, too.)

Its kinda tricky to find IMO. Go to episode 2+ of either simulcast and there is a banner in the upper right

animenewsnetwork.com/video/premium <- or just click here Wink

I watched the first four and found it interesting. Pretty good amount of action and there is an abounce of violence and gore when the action starts. Although it might change in future episodes I didn't see too much in the way of straight out homosexual themes in it, maybe just STRONG intimations. Sure The one guy follows the main character around like a puppy and it is a bit annoying, but its not overtly homosexual and could be construed as hero worship (maybe with a hint of bl to it.) Rin on the other hand does seem to be outwardly more homosexual, but I couldn't tell if it was his true personality or a defense mechanism or because of past experiences...although the scene on the roof was a bit borderline, don't know if he was serious or just trying to make the other guy uncomfortable. Now the Dog thing in the S and M getup is a bit much... at least for me.

If you don't mind an EXTREMELY small animation budget it's...acceptable I guess. I'd certainly recommend the game over it any day but for others who don't want all the man on man action it's definitely their best bet aside the manga adaptations.

Ouch. Anime hyper So I take we're talking about serious limited animation and a loss of the gorgeous detail I saw at the webpage? Well, how about the action sequences? Or are they no good either?

The first word that comes to mind when I think of this show is dark. from the amount of blood the violence and the over all crushing sense of dread this show brings up. It's pretty good I want to know what's gonna happen next but I'm kind of scared to know what's gonna happen next.

I have only seen up to episode 3, and I have to say, I am liking this series. It has its funny moment (especially the relationship between Motomi and Arbitro).

I am going to watch episode 4 when I watch episodes 5 and 6 on Wednesday.

Togainu no Chi Game should be brought over seas.

For those who saw the poorly animated parts, don't give up on it. Episode 5 is slow, but episode 6 kicks everything into gear.

And come one Rin going Monkey in Episode 4 was epic. I even a few guy friends into this anime and now want to know what the game is. I lol'd. They felt "vibes" from Keisuke, but hehehehe. Oh, they have no idea.

Thank you Anime News Network.! Keep up the good work.
