Good to hear. Will ANN be using the ANN player? What type of video quality can we expect and will there be ad support? Just trying to figure out if I support ANN on this one or stick with my Crunchyroll subscription.

Is this the first time Crunchyroll has shared a simulcast with Hulu?
They had a couple shows shared with TAN, didn't they? I guess as a CR subscriber I'll be watching there. Yes, I have an ANN subscription as well but CR subscribers don't have to watch commercials like they do here and on Hulu. |

Why the three day delay? Aniplex should realize that they're shooting themselves in the foot.

Crunchy shared Demon King with TAN, then the next season TAN started their one exclusive simulcast a season run. |

It's pretty sad when people think waiting three days is "shooting themselves in the foot." Most people not willing to wait that short of time probably aren't watching simulcasts in the first place. Besides, it beats the typical one week delay on free simulcasts. Emerje |

Am I the only one who can't get the promo trailer on the banner to work? It seems to be linked to episode 1 of Kannagi for some reason...
Anyway, great news. I find the manga pretty enjoyable, and the trailers I've seen so far are pretty dark and ominous, so I have high hopes for this one. Not to mention that Rin is voiced by Accelerator's VA...hehehehehe, this might be epic

Cool. I really appreciate ANN making this available to Canada. Truthfully, I'm probably going to watch it on CR since I'll be getting an account there but I appreciate it all the same.
If that's the case, why don't we just forget simulcasts entirely? They're never going to compete with illegal means so let's just forget it. Sorry, but no. A slight delay is manageable. You'll still get a lot of the fansub market. Three days though, that's an eternity in the world of the internet. Nobody is going to wait that long unless they actually care about supporting the legit release and most people don't. Honestly, whether you think it's 'sad' is irrelevant. It's the reality of the situation and they're really handicapping themselves by dismissing it. |

But not seeing the banner for Blue Exorcist means that you would be immune if ANN pulled another Seikirei with the ads. That was a lightning-fast ALT+F4 moment for me.
I have yet to see a commercial on the ANN player. Every time it gets to a commercial break, it throws an error message (brutal on fullscreen viewing) and then takes up to a minute to jump back to the video. Most times it immediately jumps back. I'll probably go with CR, despite the severe bandwidth issues I've had with them, as their video setup is at least navigable. The ANN system is an obfuscated mess. You have to find which of the 3 alphanumaric categories your desired video is in, click on that, wait for it to load the 50 or so titles therein--which takes a bit--and then you have to scroll through all of that until you find what you want. Why ANN decided on this mess is unknown to me. The CR system where you get the video you search for is vastly superior. I find its player, and hulu's, to be faster on things like my netbook than ANN's. On topic, the trailer doesn't really tell us that much about the show. There are some clips of fights, and a possible explanation behind the main character's motives. Also, it seems kinda cheap to advertise this as being by the creators of Darker than Black & Black Butler, since it isn't really true. Talk about trying to ride coatttails. I'll give it a shot though, why not? |

We will indeed be using the ANN Player. Quality should be at least as good as the Funimation stuff. Further announcements regarding available quality modes should come later. |

Sounds like you might have an ad blocking program blocking our ad server. If that's not the case PM me and I'll get that straightened out for you. |

So 360p I take it then? As that's the only size they release in, and assuming you said "at least" means there might not more than a 400p or 480p. 360p and 480p being the standards for hulu... |
