Is anyone even shocked by this ? this was going to happen anyway, the signs where there Gundam Seed, Seed destiny, 00, wing, the Origin movies and Iron-blooded Orphans ( and that not adding DB Super and those tales anime ) it might as well have been a Namco bandai stream site.

While it may look bad, whether those numbers are, will likely depend on this year's turnover. Operating on deficit to expand into a market is by the rulebook, but you're not supposed to do it for the long haul...

Which unless I'm doing wrong you can't watch despite it being advertised on the site.

It almost seems like something is going wrong. The costs are far exceeding what they bring in. They had massive 1000%+ growth in year over year sales, only to deficits go up ~800%. Don't feel like doing the algebra, but the break even on that may not be realistic for the size of the industry.

This is true, but there's nothing to indicate they are any closer to penetrating the overseas anime market then when they first started. In observation, neither their stores or streaming platform have gained any traction, and nothing about their business model or marketing strategy would lead me to predict any improvements to that in the future. Crunchyroll just has too much of a head start and a much better understanding of the consumers. Even Funimation has essentially given up competing with them in favor of focusing and maintaining their advantage in the dub niche.

I'm still hoping that Toei content remains on Daisuki with Dragon Ball Super. (Fingers crossed for Pretty Cure finally showing up).

To be fair, Daisuki sucks. I tried it when they first started out and years later: nothing improved. Nevermind the small catalogue, I never got any video to work on their site. Except for some old Gundam title I didn't care for and even then only the first couple of episodes.
Then again, I never got a video to play on the ani-expo site either and I watched those as they were released. Just through other means. I really have to wonder why the Japanese can't get streaming to simply work.

honestly it sounds like the issue is on your end not theirs, is your Flash player up to date?
