I'm assuming this is RAW. Also did it not score well it's first week out? Is that why there giving people the chance to see the first and second episode. I hope that it's doing well in Japan I must say that I am throughly enjoying it, I hope Geneon also gets this show, seeing as how they did a good job with Count of Monte Cristo.

That's right; it's in the original Japanese with no English translations, since it's mainly aimed at Japanese broadband viewers.
GONZO actually planned the free streaming as early as March. The main point of interest in this news piece is the confirmation that overseas viewers are not blocked from watching the stream. Many of Japan's free streaming anime services do block foreign access by IP address or verification of credit card billing addresses. |

Yeah that is very cool, I know when Toonami Jetstreamz and [AS] streaming online programs started many people were upset that they couldn't see this or that show because they weren't located in the US. |

Even if you can't understand Japanese, I reccomend you watch this (if you are opposed to fansubs, otherwise.....).
You can get a summary of events over at http://randomc.animeblogger.net . The blogger there, Omni, does good summary posts that encompass the entire episode. Plus the episode itself is great. |

Yeah I complained to Bandai about them blocking viewing of their episodes to foreign viewers with all of the newer stuff. I used to hang out there alot to see the episde previews and whatnot, but they started blocking the IPs.
So this is nice having Romeo X Juliet for public consumption. The show is excellent. After seeing several episodes of it, I am hooked now. I think it's a nice take on the fairy tale. |

Note: If you have problems with WiMP getting the licenses, just close the viewing window and select the stream you want to view again. It will work the second time around.
They seem to be getting a ton of hits on it though - I'm getting some serious lag issues at just 500K. AND it's in widescreen format! Very nice! |

yes exactly i watched both on fansubs as well. I was referring to the stream and GONZO that they wouldn't bother to sub it.
