I think pretty much all crunchyroll videos are accessible by people in the UK (US, UK, and Canada get access to pretty much all of them).

In general:

1. Find out who licenses anime in your area (They usually put their logo all over the DVDs and opening credits, so it is easy to find)
2. Check out their website for any streams they may have

If anyone finds any, I will gladly add links to it in the OP

Anyone know when they are releasing the Blu-Ray of Evangelion 2.22? It must be at least a year since they released it in the theater and I'm getting impatient. :( I just finished watching 1.11 for the third time, and I never really noticed how enhanced it was until I took some comparison screenshots from the remake and the original DVDs.

Here they are:

Crunchyroll works fine in the UK, at least, i've not encountered any problems with the shows i watched, ANN has it's own streaming service too IIRC, don't know if that works though.

I live in Norway.

I've started watching Cowboy Bebop, and I really like it. I'm watching the american version for the awesomeness that is Steve Blum.

It's probably the multi-colored eyes she has that freaks me out the most... who knew Microsoft was so good at genetic engineering!

That's quite interesting, I rather want to see the Blu-Ray version now. Must buy it when released.

That's a comparison between the Rebuild movie and the original series btw. Even if you get the DVD version of Rebuild 1.0 it's the same as the blu-ray but in lower resolution. 1.11 has some added scenes though, but I am not sure if there's a DVD counterpart.

I was kinda sad when I read an article that said that she isn't gaining the support fan-made OS-tans have had due to a lack of characteristics based on the 7's quirks/"personality"

Because she says good night to you in an informal manner? :P

You can pay to rent it on Xbox LIVE. That's how I saw it.

And I didn't like it.

It should be pretty cheap if you find it in a store

I think I got mine at wal mart for like $15 or so and that was a while back (like when I was a sophomore in high school awhile back at least 7 years!)

Well if nobody knows then I guess I'll have to buy it. Of course I wont be able to buy it for a while, which is why I wanted to see if it was legally streamed on any websites in the first place. Oh well.

Nope. You might be able to find it on Netflix :shrug: Beyond that, it is a movie, and generally don't find movies available to stream. Sometimes Crunchyroll gets some deal-thingy (like they did with 5 centimeters per second that weekend back when) but it isn't very common.

Hello. I used to read some manga and watch some anime, specifically Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note, Bleach, and Naruto. I've wanted to ask a certain question for a while. Why did Inuyasha end the way it did? It's incomplete and I was very disappointed by the ending.

You likely didn't read or watch the final story arc.

Oh, switch out FMA with One Piece and you have all the shows I dislike all in one place :P

Did you watch Inuyasha: The Final Act or just the original series? Inuyasha: The Final Act is the ending. That said Inuyasha crammed 20 volumes of manga in 26 episodes, when the "average" anime is at most 10 volumes in a 26 episode run, so quite a lot probably got left out. I can't speak for how "incomplete" the ending is, though, since I couldn't bring myself to even make it through the first season (and with 167 episodes, I didn't make it by a long shot :P)

If you mean the manga: there are still 6 volumes yet to come out in the US, so wherever you left off isn't the ending.

I just looked that up. Where did that come from? I could have sworn the series ended differently with
Spoiler
Inuyasha and his group flying off into the sunset and Naraku still being alive.

I was bored, so I decided to take some pictures.
(I have a very small collection atm - I haven't found any other anime that I've really liked. I'd accept recommendations though. :))

http://s276.photobucket.com/albums/kk14/Mungo00/DSCN1542.jpg - this was for The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, currently airing in San Francisco at the moment IIRC. Apologies for bluriness, but it's very nice. Also got a guidebook which I doubt I took a pic of.

I've ordered a Mikuru PVC figurine which should come soon. :D
