NicoNico is working to stream more anime titles outside Japan soon.

Update: Each episode will be free for one week. After that, there is a one-time subscription fee of US$0.25 for all episodes during the ongoing beta period. This US$0.25 fee for membership covers not just these two anime, but also covers all of NicoNico's membership services, such as the ability to stream live from your own camera-equipped computer onto NicoNico's site. The streams for the two announced anime will be English-subtitled.

I just signed up and as someone who has never used Nico Nico before, can I turn off the comments being covered on the video, I mean now that it is simulcast I am going to check it out. Also, can I pause the player and let the videos buffer?
