Eve no Jikan will definitely be something to keep my eyes open for. I might even check out Shangri-La.

Mainichi Kaasan is an interesting choice. I wasn't even expecting it to be fansubbed.

Well, I know where I'm watching Shangri-la, Chi's Sweet Home 2 and Mainichi Kaasan :D

Good job CR, I almost thought I wouldn't be able to watch Kaasan if no one stepped up to sub it ^__^

in b4 dogpile of hate on CR that happens every time they're mentioned in the OP.

i don't want to turn this into a 'for cr' vs. 'against cr' thread, so i'll leave it at "i have my reasons for disliking it".
i was also jokingly over exaggerating.

A lot of the time, streaming is actually harder on your computer.
For example, my netbook plays back 720p video perfectly, but apparently a lot of people with the same netbook have problems watching it via a stream.
I wouldn't know about that last bit, I don't stream video. (Unless you count watching a file while it's downloading cause the connection is good enough) :D

Do you know how hard it is even for me, a manga moderator, is to get news stories approved? I was afraid because it was drama and not manga or anime they would give me a difficult time! (Sorry news moderators....) They kind of go for short and to the point.

I don't care if its streaming but its probably limited only to the US.
So its fansubs for me.

F*Yeah ! Chi's 2nd season !

Moar Chi, yay. Hopefully it'll be streamed free the same day it airs in Japan, meaning 4eps a week (probably).

The reason is CR's crappy flash player and the last time I checked their servers weren't good enough to even stream 480p. The standard resolution videos play just fine though.

Honestly, I am not a fan of streaming.

I'm not against to those people who relies on streaming videos. However, my Internet connection here isn't good enough to stream videos online.

So why is Reborn bad?

apart from it being 99% female fanservice and not having to do anything with maffia even though it should and 1% actual shounen shit?

or is it 99,5 to 0,5?

Here is more on the kdramas. I'm also curious to know what other dramas they are adding, cause right now I'm using Dramafever.com for streaming kdramas.

Coffee Prince (my favorite!), Last Scandal, Soulmate, Jumong , La Dolce Vita, and Auction House were added. Though it seems they've added some movies and stuff too (like The Classic)
