You definitely need to update this. I watched it on YouTube twice already.
Here's the link. |

That new service from Gonzo is a really great thing but unfortunately it doesn't make their works better.
Druaga was boring except for the hotblooded parts Hiroyuki Imaishi animated near the end of the episode. |

Boring. I don't think so. I was laughing at the parody in the episode.
The tentacle scene was really funny. |

i'm REALLY impressed at the subtitle quality....i thought it would end up as poor engrish but this is just as good as an average fansub...better than a few groups that are pretty popular...

Well, BOST TV did do the subtitling apparently, so it's an industry subtitling. Just go to the Druaga page on Crunchyroll and look at the credits at the bottom.

That's why it's "pay-what-you-want" at Crunchyroll. BOST TV's version came with translation notes.

I watched the streaming video through BOST. It probably isn't going to be one of my favorites, but the old RPG gamer in me couldn't help but laugh at the first episode. The BOST downloads appear to be in a small screen format, so I tried to download the file available from Crunchyroll. But I could not get their PayPal link to work, and I'm not very keen on providing them with any of my credit card numbers. Does anyone know if you have to register with the site in order to use PayPal, or is there something else that I'm missing? |

I guess I just don't like comedies because I got bored really early in. There was another similar show that came out last year that was parodying and based on an MMO. Will try Blassreiter though.

I'm probably going to watch this on YouTube for the most part, and not get it through "other means."
Since it's actually coming out with little delay after its airing in Japan (1-2 days after or less, at least judging by Ep. 1), not to mention that it's a legal way to watch it, I might as well watch it legally. |

If anything, members of this site should take considerable interest in this experiment by Gonzo. To me, this is where the Industry will have to go to save itself.
This gives fansub viewers like myself everything we want. The episodes of a series, released on the same day as the Japanese broadcast, subtitled, and most importantly, completely legal. Granted, the quality could be a little better (it is YouTube after all), but it definitely is a step in the right direction. SouthParkStudios has also met with a lot of success making their entire series streamable from their website. Though, their episodes do come in drastically better quality...but you can't really complain here. This could be the beginning of a polar shift in the anime industry. The music industry is begrudgingly beginning to realize that they have to change their ways. We did have a few discussions on Answerman about how the Region 1 Industry will have to change to survive, and this may be one of the ways that they can do it. The cardinal rule is to make things easiest for consumers. The current generation is one of instant gratification. The faster and higher quality they can get something, the better. Services like iTunes and now Amazon cutting into their market (with higher quality and DRM free downloads) also shows that they are willing to pay for something if it is the easiest method to get it. I know I would pay a small subscription fee for subtitled anime a few days after broadcast in high quality. Wouldn't you? ---------------- Of course, as a fan of Those Who Hunt Elves, Slayers, and Lodoss War, I thought all the cliches they hit were hilarious. This may have been little more than a PR stunt. But it got my attention. I had no interest the series before I heard about this. Last edited by Ryllharu on Fri Apr 04, 2008 6:34 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I lmao through the first episode and whooped it up with the gurren lagann and evangelion references. I watched it on BOST, but have decided to download it from crunchyroll from now on because BOST does not have an XVID format. And btw the subtitles were extremely satisfying.

Most likely, I'll watch the first episode and see if I'll continue to watch this series. However, I really hope this isn't another shonen knock off. In my time as a anime watcher, I've seen some rather bland, boring, overly violent and so on anime titles.

This was surprisingly funny. I watched it with no expectations and laughed a lot.

I agree, this was far different than I had expect given the previews, I was afraid it would end up like Ragnorok, but by it being humorous, it might actually be worth watching. |
