I was wondering if anyone else had noticed however that any of their shows over 20 episodes long only show 20 episodes and no more. Wondering if it's a glitch for now, or if they're just releasing stuff in waves.
No I'm just sure that's what they set their target at until they can upload more. I believe each video has to be uploaded individually so that would take an enormous amount of time for hundreds of series. This way they at least had some of the videos for each series uploaded and they can go back and fill in the missing ones, instead of having all of some series and none of others.

I like the app so far but there is 1 REALLY annoying problem. You can only queue episodes of shows not the show themselves. An example is I queued Serial Experiments Lain. So I go to the queue watch the first episode but I can't advance to the next one without having to look up the show from the main menu .

I noticed this right away. The queue should be for shows, not individual episodes. A convenient queue system is one of the most important features. This needs to be fixed.
1. My first HD episode have me the impression that the HD video stream appeared to be a bit bandwidth starved. I started off by watching something I had seen recently, (the last episode of Freezing. Scenes with minimal movement or changes looked fine, but there was noticeable mosaic artifacts any time there was a substantial change between frames. This is something I haven't noticed when watching on my computer (which is attached to the same HDTV).
The difference is noticeable enough that it may keep me watching most videos on my computer, so I hope this is something they correct. I even tried the same episode on this computer (where I am sitting much closer to the display), and it still looked noticeably better on the computer.
As I continued to watch the episode, the problem seemed to go away, but when I rewatched the OP again, there was no change.
Thanking it might be an encoding problem, I tried another episode (the second episode of Railgun, something I hadn't watched before), and saw no significant issues with the HD stream on the Roku.
2. It would be nice if the app had allowed you to set a default video quality, instead of having to select SD or HD before the start of each video.
3. I hope the app is stable enough that I never need to enter in the login credentials again. Instead of using the "activate device" method most other apps on the Roku (like Netflix, Crunchyroll, etc.) use, the Funimation app requires you to enter your username and password. I use LastPass and have a complex and longer password, so entering it was the pain.
When I cut the cable, I really missed the FUNimation channel. Thank you very much for the Roku support, needless to say I will be upgrading to Elite sub when my 14 days are over.
By the way if you haven't seen the post adam replied to me that they don't have licensee to out up One Piece or Toriko on apps. So that is why you haven't seen them on. Good news is One Piece is going to be Neon Alley.
It looks like a few things are missing. Does FUNimation still have the rights to Death Note?

As promised, I am now a subscriber. Time to fire up the Roku!
