yeah, so youtube is deleting anime from it's site in order to fit in more lame videos people make at home, (no offense - but you guys are deleting our anime) so i was on beck video and some guy said that pisoga(.)com lets us watch anime. for free. so check it out for me and tell me if they do. I cant - my computers loading up beck.
Pisoga has a lot of titles, though they're all mainstream stuff (no Excel Saga). The video quality is also very low.
And I know we all do it, but watching anime on YouTube hurts the industry. That's why they take the videos down.
I've been watching anime on voeh.com
They have alot!
i reckon it helps the industry cause people can try it out before buying it. if they can just give us a couple of episodes...
im just kidding about people putting on videos reducing how much they can put on, cant they put on an infinate amount on the internet?
www.tv-links.co.uk is also a good place for anime, and lots of other stuff. It looks like a portal to other sites (they have Veoh videos, also Stage 6 and some others), and I like to go there to preview series and see if I would like to buy them. It led me back to buy Outlaw Star, Oh! My Goddess, and I may even go after some Bleach (pretty much skipping most of Season 3, all of 4, and 5 I think - Eps 1-63, 110-142 (presently) are true to the manga, the rest is filler.
I also watch it for fansubs of anime I have never seen anywhere, and also some folks keep the series that are currently being aired in Japan. Bleach 142 just came out last week for instance, but they're having some trouble right now. YouTube stinks for video quality anyway, and most of the videos on Links can be maxed to fill the screen.
I've enjoyed 'previews' on Youtube, too. I bought Rune Soldier after watching an episode there, and discovered that I didn't like Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi enough to buy it.
I also watched about 80 episodes of Eyeshield 21, but it's not like they're selling any DVDs in the US, anyway. I love that show. (I get addicted to sports animes once I start watching, and Hiruma is an awesome character.) It's supposed to be debuting as an official free streaming download on Toonami.com this fall. I want them to start selling some blasted DVDs, though. I've even been considering buying the bootlegs, though I hate to support the Yakuza, or whoever's really making the money off those.

Ohshit

Ummm.... ummmm.... ummmmm.....
*Rips VeohTV from computer*
Holy shit, I really wish I knew that before hand. Luckily for me I have no credit card information on my computer as I never even use it online save for once or twice, and I don't keep any records of that nature on the puter, but damn I wish I had read that statement better - they all look the same and you glaze over it, missing the vital nugget of information buried in all the crap. Yeah, the moment I hit that link of Soske's, that shit got rammed from my computer faster than you can spit.
Ya see, this is precisely why I rarely ever download any programs online - everytime I do, it's something horrible. My computer sure is running faster now, thanks Soske.
Addendum: I also tore through my computer with my Anti-Spyware and I'm no expert, but I found a ton of new spyware for tracking all sorts of data, likely all from Veoh. God, I even made an account with them (cancelled it obviously). I just hope no major damage was done. All I wanted to do was see some anime that hasn't been released over here yet - I really hate the internet sometimes, can't trust anything.
If this is true, I would imagine any ordinary streaming from Veoh would be just as safe as YouTube.
It's only when a person is prompted to download a specific specialty software like the VeohTV client where a possible security issue could arise. This is where personal info ends up being exchanged.
Comparable to inviting a vampire into the front door of your house.
At any rate, the person who created that privacy statement signed their own death warrant -
Credit card info?? That's nasty, folks. >_<
Does that mean it collects info everytime I use my cc on a website?!
O.O

i'm gonna be right back i need to go delete some things
oh thank God i don't own a credit card
I probably should have bothered to read the terms of services before hitting agree
Quoteoh thank God i don't own a credit card

Same thing I said. I mean those user agreements tend to be so generic I give them a once over and that's usually enough. Dee dee dee...
But seriously now that I see that I didn't hesitate two seconds before I ripped Veoh from my puter, cancelled my account, hunted down any left over spyware with my hunter-killer programs, and ousted any self-replicating crap left behind (I hope I got it all). I'm simply appalled at how stupid I was, I'm just glad I don't have a true credit card (I had a debit, and thankfully that's easier to control, and I've ever only used it twice on line, long before I got the Veoh client. The worst thing is the client sucks ass).
Never, ever doing that again. Worse case scenario, I learned my lesson.

No, no, no! Not your fault at all. :icon_smile: I'm glad we all had a chance to be informed about the consequences of useing the VeohTV client. Knowledge is power. And Soske delivered in spades. ^^
Quote from: Foggle on October 02, 2007, 09:14:57 PMAnd I know we all do it, but watching anime on YouTube hurts the industry.
It can be both good and bad... Or perhaps comparing it to a double-edged sword would make better sense. I believe it's only bad to a point after a title has been licensed for distribution outside from Japan.
I also believe in the 'try before you buy' method before making anime purchases. Streaming anime has helped me a great deal in this regard.
Yeah, don't blame yourself Randamonian. And I agree, try before you buy is important, especially with anime since it is so expensive - no one wants to buy something then regret it soon after, better to know that you like it going in. And YouTube or any other service can't replace owning it - the quality of DVDs is much better than any internet streaming video, and you can watch the DVD anytime you want without having to go look it up on line - and I believe most true fans of anime would much rather own than pirate.
But I will definitely never download any client like that again - I might watch some vids on Stage6 or something, but no more downloading, and downloading the client was no one's fault but mine.

it aint your fault i downloaded Veoh Tv before I even joined the forum.
Also, I only watch unliscened show on online viewers. I mean if it a moderately good dub, why not get the better quality available on the dvds

Nah, it's not your fault. :)
I never had VeohTV installed, but I did have the old Veoh Video Client. Suffice to say, I removed it.
oh, okay. im arright now.

ZOMG, you broke the internet D:
actually i think they should ALLOW fansubs, atleast until the anime comes out in america (if it ever comes out)
hey, i was wondering where you can get the lucky star anime - it's not on amazon, nor ebay. definantly not the shops. where is it?!
To tell you the truth it only finished airing this year, i waited ages to watch the last episode. However you can find it at this website to download them: http://realitylapse.com/videos/lucky-star.php
oh, downloading's almost impossoble for me - impossible on my own. i got someone who could do it for me.
but that's pretty slow going. do you know when the dvds come out?
