jyrque posted:The point is, a lot of people can. Which is better for the series' western releases anywhere if it gathers enough views on such VOD services. Now, I haven't used the service in a looooong time, but doesn't Netflix only supply the dubbed versions? I remember a subbed version of Ponyo not even being an option three years ago. It'd be rather a disservice to supply online-only viewers with that A Bigger Boat crap.

I'm not sure if Netflix features multiple audio tracks and if not, it's most likely that the KOTAK dub found on DVDs will be used.

Netflix has the ability for dual language tracks and subtitles, but they only seem to bother licensing one language with everything Ive watched. That one language isnt necessarily an English dub, by the way.

They just got Netflix to here, but the selection is just a tiny fraction of what is in the US. Crunchyroll would be better, because they aren't so anal about country limitations.

I know it's not the optimal solution, but I have a really simple plugin for Chrome that lets me access US Netflix from out-of-country. Is it possible to sign up+pay for a new US Netflix account using a plugin like that? I already had an account before I left America, so I can't try it myself, but... maybe this is a thing?? i just want everyone to be happy HEY HEY LET'S ALL FRIENDS

There are no US Netflix accounts, there are just Netflix accounts. I'm Finnish, I pay in euros to Netflix Finland and I mostly use US Netflix through a proxy service (Unblock-us) without any problems. So yes, if you can create a Netflix account in whatever country you are now or in any other country, you can watch US Netflix through MediaHint or any other proxy solution. Also it's been verified with Netflix that they don't care about people using proxies, because either way they're getting money. (hell, you can probably just reactivate your old account and keep using it)

I'm gonna wait and see what's actually gonna be featured on GCCX Netflix before making judgment. But more exposure in the western market surely can't be a bad thing? It might lead to a second DVD, hell, even another Kacho in USA - episode.

Many of us are just worried that there will eventually be episodes which aren't on any English DVD and can only be watched on stream services, which, y'know, we can't do. If that never happens and the stream episodes are just the ones from the existing DVD then that's all well and good, but still, it's setting a dangerous precedent.

I wish dudes complaining about the unavailability of streaming services in their country would attempt to verify whether or not they can sign up for Netflix via the MediaHint plugin, since that'd lay some worries to rest :T I think Netflix has a trial or something that you could test with, maybe? THOUGH I MEAN YEAH that's ignoring the fact that we don't even know if it's gonna be on Netflix specifically or if it'll involve episodes beyond those on the DVD. Kkkkinda doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of need for griping just yet...

I had to look up crunchyroll because I had no idea what anyone was talking about. So it's some sort of Anime Netflix I guess? It sounds pretty niche, and GCCX doesn't contain any anime. Do they have any regular japanese shows on there? Edit: I see it came to the 360 apparently, maybe it's just me that hasn't heard of it. It doesn't really matter though, any english streaming service is going to be a big step up from what they have for exposure right now, which is one DVD and a slew of free fan youtube videos. Hopefully they'd go for subtitles instead of the dub (I'm curious, was there actually any positive reception of it?), but even that doesn't really matter. It's still a big step forward for going international. Also you're all a bunch of babies. hello internet posted:Why are people fighting when we don't even know what is going to happen I don't know why they'd be fighting even if we did know.

How often does something get released exclusively to Netflix? Pretty much never as almost always it's just a streaming offer of something already available on a hard format. How often does something get released exclusively to Crunchyroll, halting all high quality fansub production overnight? Quite a bit, as any fan of Galaxy Express 999 will tell you.

InsaneDavid posted:How often does something get released exclusively to Netflix?  Seriously, though, the odds are highly likely that, as with the vast majority of everything else on Netflix, streamed GCCX will consist of DVD GCCX. More of GCCX (especially when it can reach a broader audience) is always a good thing.

If it is Netflix/CR then at least make it as international as possible (without a proxy). That is all I ask and I do not believe that to be unreasonable.

It would fit in there perfectly,but maybe not as well known. I watch a lot of Japanese entertainment,which mostly consists of anime, so it was a better deal for me to get Crunchyroll and drop my Netflix. I got to the point where there wasn't much of anything I wanted to watch and the new content didn't interest me. We all have different tastes though. After reading some of the comments I'm a bit ashamed to be an American  . I think it would be best to take a deep breath and wait it out for the official news. It does show us one thing though, we have some VERY passionate fans amongst us

It kind of blows my mind, how just couple years back, we were lucky to get even one subbed episode in year. Now, there's over 100 subtitled episodes and we're fighting about which streaming service should we to watch the episodes in the near future...

Granted I didn't look too deeply into the site, just checked out the main page and didn't see anything non-anime listed. Worst case scenario they go the bad dub route and put it exclusively on a niche service, but even that would be a step forward for them right now. It's all good.

I think the point was that content being made exclusive to a streaming service that isn't available everywhere means some people won't be able to see the content at all, I don't think anyone cares about which service to watch as long as they can watch them. Of course it's rather premature but still, looking at the discussion and comments it seems people here have a really hard time communicating without massive amounts of snark and  .

ConanThe3rd posted:If it is Netflix/CR then at least make it as international as possible (without a proxy). That is all I ask and I do not believe that to be unreasonable. While it adds to the cost (an extra $5 a month), services like unblock-us are incredibly painless and don't interfere with anything other than Netflix. Once you program their DNS into your router all your devices automatically reroute Netflix to give you the U.S. content. If your internet-facing IP address changes all you have to do is go to unblock-us.com and there'll be a bar that pops up on top of the screen saying "oh it looks like your IP address changed, want to program the new one in?" it's trivially easy to overcome if you can afford the extra $5 on top of Netflix's $8. It's definitely lovely that the legal solutions for Game Center CX have to play by regional restriction rules, but Japanese TV is the biggest legal minefield and I think has a significant hand to play in why non-Anime Japanese media is so rarely distributed outside of Japan. I'm pretty sure when they planned out the show's original concept they didn't even consider an eventual DVD release, and planned their structure around licensing for television, which is a lot easier to pull off in an "this will only air once" context, and you often have to start there to even get your show off the ground (see also: Mystery Science Theater 3000). Discotek likely only has distribution rights for the U.S., which is lovely and completely ridiculous in the internet age, but is still very much a fact of life, especially for Japanese media.
