Everything is looking good. The only two things that I would like to know is 1.) are you in the process of uploading episodes past 20 in the series listed? 2.) will it be possible to que an entire show in the future rather than having to que each individual episode? Other than that it looks good. Just can't wait to watch black butler 2.
Great. Since the Android app doesn't run on my Nook Color and Funimation's developer shows no interest in fixing what's broken, this is the first chance to get Funimation on a device that's more convenient than my netbook.
Edit: I'm going to wait a few days to start my Elite trial, so that the payment hits on or after payday ... which means I get to see how the app works for free members for a couple of days. If what I just saw on Black Lagoon ep1 is common, its really broke for free members, since ending an ad sends the episode back to the beginning each time, and you have to fast forward to get to the part of the anime where the ad kicked in. Also, despite having obvious set places for ads (like, 1 after the OP, 2 at the eyecatch, 1 before the ED), the ads are spread at even intervals through, so they hit right in the middle of dialogue, which looks awfully unprofessional.
Still waiting for app to come for the logitech revue it gr8 that they made one for Roku but i'm still waiting for my logitech revue
It is certainly nice to see the app has rolled out! I remember reading earlier that Funimation was working on an app for Samsung devices, has that been shelved for the time being?
Hooray! I've been waiting for the Roku app, and now it's here! It looks awesome - thanks for all the hard work, guys.
Quick question - I only see up to a maximum of 20 episodes per Anime, even on ones that have more. Is that max number going to be lifted? (Example: Shiki, Rosario+Vampire, Birdy the Mighty, etc.)
Thanks again!
Made my month when I saw the FUNimation "Channel" added to the Roku lineup. Just what I needed to keep me entertained on my time off...FUNimation Channel on my Roku. Just one complaint about the non-premium app, as I don't know if it applies to the Premium Subscription because that is what I am here for to sign up now, when it would cut to commercial then come back to whatever I was watching it would start completely over from the beginning of the episode. Other than that I'm about as happy as can be. It was inevitable that FUNimation would have it's own Roku channel because most of the channels show FUNimation shows anyway. GOOD JOB!
Thanks, Funi! Been waiting for this!
One question, are more episodes going to be added? Started watching Shakugan no shana and i love it. Noticed not all episodes are up yet, same with black butler. Just wondering if the will be added anytime soon if at all?
I figured something that Adam but wanted to mention it for those who wondering from message boards or elsewhere. Thanks for answering.
@Supermutant: Thanks for the recommendations. Unfortunately we do not currently have the rights for One Piece or Toriko to be on any of our apps. We will let you know if that ever changes.
