Uhhh, Hulu has a crap-ton, dubbed AND subbed, and it's all free...

That being said, I rarely ever watch it because streaming framerates are much slower than TV, and it experiences slowdown problems when there's lots of action, but it's there...

[Jeebus201]

I've never had that issue with Hulu, but I access it through the Xbox Live and iPad apps, respectively.

Either way it beats the crap out of Adult Swim's puny, boring offerings.

[helpme]

I'll agree there

Mostly subbed. I prefer dubbed.

You are able to, you just refuse to.

Netflix has a low amount.

LOL wut?

There's over 100 anime on Netflix right now. Only about 10 are not dubbed.

Man... this just proves you don't appreciate what you have no matter how much you have.

Sure they don't have Dragon Ball but there's plenty of anime on there to keep you busy. Ironically some of which you aleady watched and otherwise would be happy to see available to you (Orphen and Darker than Black for 2).

I barely use Hulu since they go overboard with advertisements. I also hated it how they demanded youtube to take down the joke HuIu account.

[Jeebus201]

They made their own account, so I see why.

I use Hulu Plus, so maybe that explains my lack of these issues.

[DemandingAnime]

Just to remind everyone...

I'm not rich. I am in fact flat broke pretty much.

[Jeebus201]

You can afford a computer.

Have you seen FUNi's Youtube page? There's a ton of full series there for free, dubbed. Better than AS's bullcrap.

Or do you just like to whine for the sake of whining?

Heh...

"Bandai Japan demanded that Bandai Entertainment get the original '70s Mobile Suit Gundam series on Cartoon Network, despite the fact it was 20 years old, looked 20 years old, and was waaaaaaaay too boring for young American audiences. Cartoon Network, not being insane, refused. Bandai Japan then paid CN to run the original Gundam anime, thus #### up the Toonami block for years -- because once CN got paid to run an anime, the CN executives weren't going to run any anime without getting a check for it first. If you've ever wondered why an anime that would seemingly have been perfect for Toonami never, chances are it's because the licensor couldn't afford CN's asking price."

Now here I thought Bandai was the only company that paid CN to run their shows and they didn't start doing that until say Gundam SEED but now that I hear it dates all the way back to the broadcast of MSG, that puts a whole new spin on things.

No wonder so many Bandai shows ended up on Cartoon Network after that point.

Viz probably had similar deals until but did not want to pay CN to play Naruto when Disney would pay them to run Shippuden.

FUNimation on the other hand had top rated Dragon Ball series which they could get CN to pay for but after some FUNimation show's didn't meet expecations they saw no reason to continue that relationship with FUNimation and FUNimation decided they didn't need Cartoon Network.

I think we've just realized why other anime other than Bleach still air.

They got paid to air some of them.

Well that explains Kekkaishi better than anything else.

I was always pretty sure Aniplex US was paying them to play DRR.

And shows they get paid to play can get low ratings and still keep airing for however long they're under contract. And after that situation they had with Bandai and Code Geass a few years back they know better than to squelch on a contract.

Well... I guess for the most part they're not playing anime out of the goodness of their hearts or whatever (except stuff like Bebop, Big O and FLCL which they clearly love).

I wonder who is paying who for Bleach I wonder? I'd imagine with the ratings it can pull CN might be paying Viz for it at this point but then again... who knows?

[DemandingAnime]

Still waiting for them to announce something new...

aren't we all

[TheBigOFan72]

I wouldn't read too much into it. Who knows if [as] is paid to air most anime they get.

[TheBigOFan72]

Same, but I knew they'd run into this ro#### sooner or later. The shows coming out of Japan now, most wouldn't work, and as for older titles, they are either OOP, or would bomb on the channel now.

If they didn't get paid to play Kekkaishi then I'm just that much disappointed with their anime decisions.

[TheBigOFan72]

Now now, don't let your dislike of the show get in the way.

They would have had to pay me to show it. Would have had to pay me twice that to watch it...

is this why Toonami went under?

[DemandingAnime]

BTW... I am at the edge of truly losing my sanity.

[Sketchor]

Yeah... what did you end up watching yesterday with no Bleach and probably no access to Naruto Shippuden and Dragon Ball rips?

[TheBigOFan72]

Probably the wall, while I was catching up on my anime schedule, mainly One Piece on Hulu.

On a side-note, I wonder if he'll go crazy over possible rips of this thing. Contains English subs, and the English dub.

http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0071X0O00

I'll be happy to actually BUY it later this year, whether Aniplex brings it over or not.

[TheBigOFan72]

That's nice. To regain it, how about you visit one of these sites in this list?
