Well Funi dubs everything doesn't it? ADV/whatever has people that like to read their TV so prefer subs, so figure they are getting the best money with charging for subs i guess. Funi makes all their money BECAUSE of the dubs. Gets more fans because of the dubs, which are willing to spend more money, while ADV still caters to sub crowd and is not doing so well cause it isnt ADV anymore. Funi gets shows bought for airing on places like CN, while ADV struggles to get its ANO and VOD services to even have the correct episodes.

My opinion is that they are targeting different audiences and Funi's audience is just a LOT bigger, so they have enough money to offer more, while ADV has to try to squeak by on whatever it can get, even using outmoded business model that might have worked in the 80s.

It has been a while since I saw One Piece and no need with it appearing on AS tonight, so does Funi use a 3rd party to store/stream its episodes, or does Funi have its own servers and storage and bandwidth? I thought at one time I watched a Funi show it was a Hulu player, but I don't remember.

as an aside... Funi has web developers it seems that can actually make a website, and dont use things like vBulletin or Joomla type software that has to have careful tweaks made to it to show things, and very strange GUI, which gives Funi a better experience to watching shows. Their webpages looks like real webpages, not a bad unknown social media package that doesn't work right, or nobody knows how to use it on the web team.

I dont know about subscriptions to Funi website, but the problems here could be hurting TAN. it seems everyone that tries to subscribe ends up having to email and such as the form never works.

There are things OTHER than the number of free episodes that TAN could do to get more subscribers, and the more shows like mentioned here is a good start, and getting a better video player package to stream with and making sure the website doesnt have those virus ads, outages and such are among others.

Dumping an entire series online at once when available is a good thing for TAN so people can enjoy their time as they have it, not play Farmville and have to come back at time X:XX for the next crop to be ready... erm i mean episode to show. even if that is for subscribers only.

so TAN is slowly coming into the 21st century and getting to a point it can offer things like Funi does in volume and quality if it stays the course and doesn't let many things break.

Betamax was better than VHS, but no.. some government nonsense and they went with the lesser of the two. Reminds me, i need to fire up my 8-track and listen to some Big Bopper. Those never seem to go bad, but cassette tapes just degrade too quickly.

*nothing watched or checked beyond titles at this time.
^: according to —Mo— PDY should have two episodes this week, and we are missing BOTH of them as we are a week behind due to PDY being fixed 2 weeks ago, and instead we keep getting Penguindrum which will likely screw up the 30 hours by having 4 shows over, and even MORESO, is the PDY episodes start coming in 2 more this week, and 2 next week...

Maybe somsone could, oh.. i dont know.. go ahead and prepare the June schedule and post it so someone knows what to send to VOD in june and can be ready for it, and WE will also know what is going on?

I have pity for those with SVOD right now, and cannot figure out WHY you would pay for this lack of quality control.
