    Hey everyone, first time posting here,

    Anyone else signed up to Netflix yet, I signed up to the 1 month trial and was
    delighted to see an Anime film selection, but it just happend to be about 20 films,
    Just wondering if anyone else has signed up to Netflix, whats your opinion on their Anime selection. Theres a way to switch to the American version of Netflix, any one else done this yet? Is there a bigger selection of Anime?

    The US version has a better selection, and also a handful of subtitled shows as well as dubs (like Death Note). Also seems to have more Ghibli titles.

    Some good stuff on the Irish one too - Summer Wars, Melancholy of Haruhi etc... - but I just cannot watch dubs :(

    Hopefully as the months go on Netflix will add to their Anime library, I'm gonna watch a fair bit of anime today anway, great quality and instant streaming. it's great :)

    Summer Wars isn't on the Irish Netflix?

    It was anyway! I watched a few minutes of it to check out what language it was in. I was disappoint :(

    Aye the American version has a big selection of anime - thought I read somewhere that it was part of their strategy to bulk up their content and it appears anime is pretty cheap when compared to other shows ;)

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭previous user


    Not on the Irish Netflix I don't think.

    How do you switch it to use the american library? Is that free month offer still going?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭Art_Wolf


    Afraid you cant switch between versions short of going to the US :(

    We can not discuss ways to circumvent Netflix's copyright

    Oops, sorry :( Won't happen again.

    what I like about netflix is the low price, for 7.50 a month it's the first time it's almost been easier to go legit when watching flicks online... I would probably pay that, so I think finally they are copping on


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭previous user


    What the hell happened, am I the only one or has the anime selection been reduced to about 6 films lately, Why don't they have a large selection?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,127 ✭✭✭Sesshoumaru


    My eldest daughter has really gotten into anime. Up until now she has loved watching shows like Ranma and Inu Yasha. Since we signed up for Netflix we've watched Gurren Lagan together and since a few nights ago we started watching Robotech. Robotech looks quite old, but I'm glad I didn't miss it, up to episode 10 and its great! I think I spotted it in the childrens section, not the anime section?

    It's probably there because it's an old syndicated show made by cutting up three different shows. It's still meant to be good in it's own right.

    I'm enjoying it so far. I love the voice overs telling us about how the characters feel etc Gives it a real retro feel :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7 JonasADF

    Just looked around on Netflix and spotted Gunslinger Girl and Baccano! on there. My friend likes GG so gonna watch it and anyone who hasn't seen Baccano! needs to re-evaluate their life.

    I guess so, still I was curious to see
    what was on the other side of the gate.

    I sadly never gave Baccano a proper shot, I would watch an episode in bed, sometimes falling asleep before it was over and by the end I had no idea what was going on and I just moved on to whatever the next show that I was going to watch was. I've always been meaning to give it the go it deserved.

    Seems to be a few new titles up. Sound of the sky (Sora no Woto), Redline, 5 cm per second and a few others I don't recognise.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    Oh nice, been meaning to get 5cm/s. Also heard Redline is insanely gorgeous looking.

    :EDIT: Just had a gander at the new releases, has the 3 megaten mentioned, a film called Emma (looks loosely based on the book) and a series called Rental Magicka (:confused:). Also Sound of the Sky is subbed, so possibility of seeing more animes that might not have got a dub in the future (thought Netflix would only put up dubs, but oh well).

    pretty bad selection, I understand anime isnt massively popular but I cant see how 400 bollywood films are any more appropriate for ireland. Oh well, I'm giving Birdy a spin
