It kind of sucks since there didn't seem to be any advance warning that the series was going to be removed. I guess now I understand how Netflix can be a pretty cool service but at times kind of crappy as well. |

That blows, I hope it's just a temporary thing, however, judging by their own Netflix-like streaming service I have a feeling it might be a permanent thing. This post has been edited by BOZZ on Oct 2 2014, 05:34 PM | ||

But they might since I do think they cycle through series to put up for streaming on Netflix. It sucks to hear about that though. |

This happened a while back and it was returned to streaming shortly afterward. Money is changing hands. They can't legally stream it until Funi gets $$$. |

Pretty annoying, but there's other services/ways you can watch so that's good. Edit: BUT DON'T WORRY GUYS THE LIVE ACTION MOVIE IS STILL ON THERE.

There are still people terrified of getting SWATted for downloading anime illegally, so streaming is an easier option, I guess. Anything to avoid paying full freight for the DVDs. Meanwhile my HDD is choking on way too many series' sitting in the video folder. | ||

I guess the concept of torrenting is too complicated for them. That or "muh Internet boogeyman". This post has been edited by kyonpalm on Oct 3 2014, 11:47 AM | ||
