This would be great news if I could read Japanese. Other than that, I see great potential in this concept of selling anime online.

P.S. Could someone tell me how to actually download Slayers? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I agree. Slayers has been on the top of my Most Wanted list for about two years now, and this is my chance to actually see a little of it for free Razz I've spent about two hours wandering around that site trying to get those episodes, but with what little Japanese I know, I've only managed to sign up for an account. The payment part is what's got me stuck, as it's supposed to be free.

Can anyone who actually understands the site actually tell me the process of how to get the videos, as there are only 10 more days to do so Very Happy

If i'm reading right, I think you can sign up for free (although you have to provide payment info) and watch the first episodes that way.

There doesn't appear to be any DIRECT way to view the episodes without passing through the billing options, or so it seems.

Hmm...am I correct in assuming then that there isn't any way for us here in the States to view them? I've tried all of the billing options, and they seem (to me, atleast) to all require some sort of pre-esisting passwords and accounts with their companies, and as I'm not a member of any Japanese banking or credit-type company, it seems I may be out of luck.

Is there an option I'm not seeing that doesn't involve bank account info, or other pre-existing info required for those payment methods?
