FUNimation.com/Video is Back in Action

return-of-the-video-portal

w00t!

FUNimation Entertainment has officially announced the return of its video portal after a brief hiatus. Included in this return is the newest episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Head over to FUNimation.com/Video and watch episodes 1 – 12.

The new portal introduces many new backend features, including greater bandwidth, and we are continuing to develop and implement new features and functionality.

We are aware of issues in which some users are prompted to input a username and password to access the site. This is currently being investigated and will hopefully be resolved soon.

However, fans can let us know about any additional issues by posting on the Official FUNimation Video Portal thread here: http://community.funimation.com/tt.aspx?forumid=40

Unfortunately, UK-based visitors to the FUNimation video portal will be temporarily unable to access our content.

We are in the process of opening the video of each series which is approved for streaming in the UK, and this will take additional time to complete. Again, this is only temporary and we fully intend for these series to return for our fans in the UK.

Speaking of video’s, Rojas: What are the results of that “We Need Your Input” poll? What day will we expect the results?

@ Rojas: Ya’ll rock with the improvements! I’m on a slower connection back home right now and where before it took almost as long to load an episode as it took to watch it, now it practically just plays instantly without buffering for me. Sweet.

Any postive word about One Piece?

Hope the UK fans can get their feed back ASAP. They need love too.

I missed you, video portal. Is anyone else getting streaming mess ups? Sometimes videos will just stop loading and not want to play at all(even parts that have already loaded)

Richard J. on June 29th, 2009 at 3:30 pm says:

@ Ally: Yeah, I’ve had that happen with Pretty Cure ep # 23. Which sucks since that was the series I was most wanting to get back to. (They’re still working some bugs out though. It’s probably temporary.)

Great to see the portal back up!

And with July right around the corner, I wonder, does FUNimation have any simulcasting plans for any of the new summer Anime titles?

@Tyrenol
We can’t give all our data collection info away to everyone. Like I always say, your input is extremely valuable and we’ll make good use of it. When you see us announce a new title, you might get a good gauge of some of the results.

@Richard J.
Still working on getting more One Piece to you guys. No news yet.

Evem though it been up a coulple of days now, I’d like to say thank you Funi for fixing the issues and getting the portal back. Some of us have some serious catching up on videos to do.

Nebs on June 29th, 2009 at 5:59 pm says:

I realize you guys have to jump through hoops to get One Piece back, but what about Phantom? Why haven’t new episodes for that resumed yet?

dragon0 on June 29th, 2009 at 7:14 pm says:

They’re probably still working on phatom.

Rojas could you enlighten us if you guys at Funi might be doing another survay anytime coming up? Curious to see what you guys might think we might be interested to see/buy from you all.

KudosForce on June 29th, 2009 at 7:52 pm says:

I am very grateful and thankful that you managed to get the portal back up. Thank you very much!

Now I can get back to watching more Fist of the North Star eps. WELCOME TO THIS CRAZY TIME!

@dragon0: I would also like to know that. I wonder if there will be any other Toei shows in the next poll…:wink:

Okay.

But the bites from these tenacious Sailor Moon piranhas are really getting to me. And I’m a skinny enough dude as is.

this is great news of its return and it’s higher speed.

But what’s important is… when will we see a return of Phantom?

Hey,
Do you wonderful peoples have any idea when UK dwellers like myself will be able to view the video portal? I understand that you are obviously working on it, but do you have a rough guess as to when it will be finished?

Thanks.

Fate on February 13th, 2010 at 9:24 pm says:

Ben, no one currently has the license for episodes 5 of Hellsing Ultimate onwards, the current releases are due to a distrubution deal between Geneon and Funimation.
