HD=Awesomeness! I certainly hope the simulcast will be in HD as well. That will be more awesome! (Just saw the teaser and it looks real good in 720p)

That was definitely the best looking simulcast stream I've seen yet.
But, is there any chance that it will be softsubbed? That would just be the bee's knees, I tell you what! ^_____________________________________________^

Had to switch to 480p to get sound. For some reason HD wouldn't play sound for me. Using Chrome, so I will probably test out Firefox later to see if the same thing happens for me.

Maybe I'm missing something. But I've always wanted to ask: is there a way to pop the video out on its own screen or have it display in it's native resolution?
All we get as far as I can see, is either the default small window size or full screen.

Is there any way to force the video player to display at a resolution of 1280 x 720? The default player resolution is extremely small, and I have my computer set to 1680 x 1050, so if I watch the video in full screen, the player is stretching the video past its native resolution, which results in a loss of quality.
Actually, I just discovered a way to do it, hee hee, though it's not practical. I switched my resolution of my computer to 1280 x 720, and then I started the video and switched it to full screen. Since I did not confirm that I wanted to change my resolution, Windows switched my resolution back to 1680 x 1050, but the video did not resize — the video stayed at a resolution of 1280 x 720 at the top left corner of my monitor, while the rest of the remaining pixels were just black.
I guess this will suffice for now, but I really wish the player allowed itself to display at different resolutions like Crunchyroll's video player. Also, if there's a way to fix this "trick" I discovered, then you guys better not fix it unless you have a real solution.
Oh, and the show looks great, haha.

I had the same problem but I'm using Firefox on a Windows 7 machine.

"Hey, KanjiiZ how good is the ANN player?"
"So good that I'm willing to watch a show I probably won't like for the sake of 720p quality"
That looks freaking amazing. Not even DVD's look that great. I don't know if I can go back to watching shoddy FUNImation streams.

Actually, that's a great idea. There's no easy way to do this right now, but we can work on it once all the current construction dies down in a few weeks. Thanks!

You know, if there's any upcoming code-monkeying, it would really be nice if the player accepted simple keyboard controls that map to common IR remote buttons. I love that I can manage CR's player from the couch (volume = up and down arrows, replay and skip forward = left and right arrows, play/pause = enter or space). I was watching a video earlier, and as is, I can't even adjust the volume using my PC's volume controls without dropping out of fullscreen mode -- very annoying when a vacuum cleaner commercial comes on and I'm using headphones. >.<

Oreimo's a pretty slick-looking show. Too bad it's not my kind of thing.

No issue for me with Chrome/7.

Yeah basically. If ANN had distro rights down under than I'd use their streaming service for new titles I was interested in, no questions asked with this kind of quality.
Wait wtf? When did CR start serving Australia? I swear the last time I tried to watch something they IP-blocked me.

I love the music, and the animation and streaming quality are excellent. This is probably going to be the first show I actually watch a stream for. Nice job, ANN. Keep 'em coming.

Erm it's 720 not 480, it should look better than DVD. If it doesn't there's something wrong with the player. That's also running smoothly, which is the hard bit; as 720p normaly has to utilise some hardware acceleration.
FUNi stream is 360p or something, they look horrible.
