Sounds good, seems like their launch titles are decent, its a shame they ain't offering any anime content at the moment though Sad

to be fair play.com wasn't all that good to be honest they only had the free delivery on everything going for them but at times amazon prices+delivery came out cheaper 70% of the time.

For anime, Netflix is currently the UK leader; the only stuff Lovefilm Instant has at present is co-production stuff like the Marvel anime, and Blinkbox is a similar story.

Since when? I join up a few weeks ago and found vitually nothing. I bailled at the end of my free trial. At least Love film has all the DVD and BDs that are released for the UK, when they don't let other members steal their discs by simply not returning them.

I'm talking in terms of streaming here. Unless I've missed a lot of stuff or it's been added recently, there's simply no comparison between Netflix and Lovefilm Instant

Is that Netflix list supposed to cover past shows or current only? If current, that list seems to be out of date as I see 12 shows/films only in the Anime category.

Wish Funimation would share it's Netflix US/Canada titles with us...

The only issue i have with Netflix's animé library is a bulk of it is dubbed and they even have the nerve to have that butchered mess that is Robotech (or they did at one point)

Last time I updated was January.
The movie links are all still live. Not having Netflix I can't confirm that they will all play.
Frankly, I was only able to build the list by working through all the "More Like..." listings.
