I would like some clarification here: Is this a platform for viewing 'new'/simulcasting anime in the UK, or one on which UK viewers can see all of the ANN video content that has been geo-locked for us brits?

Sounds interesting.
So I guess we're expecting stuff from Manga and the like too?
So at least 3 things too, woo!!! As long as you don't just rely on Paypal and accept my card unlike Crunchyroll ~ I'll probably give this ago. Also like the fact I don't have to make a separate account for there too. |

Kaze are working on completely new licenses (they have 5 in the bag and another near completion) and the service will also, as I understand, be carrying titles from the other UK licensees like Manga and Beez. I can pull up some quotes if you give me a minute and I don't get any calls. --edit--

So this is the [incoming] streaming platform I heard about before. Interesting. I'll wait to see what are the titles, and if there's at least 2 good ones count me in for a year.

This is obviously the case, though it would be requested that the selection rivals that of similarly-priced services available to those who are lucky enough never to have experienced geo-filtering. It concerns me, therefore, that weekly and seasonal passes are the primary products being advertised, as opposed to a pay-as-you-go option that charges in proportion to use. It is thus hoped that the content fits the price; that the catalogue is either equally extensive with respect to R1 streaming services, or else proportionally cheaper. |

Is this real? I clicked on the link and saw a red version of the ANN layout and assumed this was an April Fool's joke. I'm really bad at picking up on these things, someone help me out.
(and if it's not fake, can you use it in Ireland?) |

There've been rumblings about this for a while, and the site was first pointed out by Andrew yesterday not today (not sure why it's taken ANN so long to post about it - I thought perhaps they were holding off till the 2nd to avoid these concerns...)
