Daisuki.net - Streaming Anime From The JP

[Captainbubby]

I use Hola, which is free and has Chrome and Firefox extensions. I use it almost exclusively for Netflix instant. I recently subscribed to Funimation's streaming service but I can't get it to work very well at all, unfortunately.

Part of the problem is the way that Hola works; it has full support for very popular streaming websites like Netflix or Hulu but Funimation has no official support. There are some custom Hola scripts but it barely works.

Just bought a Roku 2 XS because they dumped them at the local Target to make room for newer models. Cost was only $35CAD total. There is an app for Daisuki.net I think.

I like Daisuki but it does have some problems...the biggest one being the site's overall design and navigation could use some work. I'm pretty sure that someone in Japan was probably in charge of it, because it feels a lot like Nico Nico Douga in some ways--but NND isn't a popular website outside of Japan, so it can seem muddled and/or confusing at times. (Not to mention pretty plain and boring...not to say sites like Crunchyroll are amazing from a design standpoint, but they make a little more sense, at least.)

The site is based in Japan, but aside from content it's [himitsu].

Really? That's kind of surprising. Some of the English on it sometimes has struck me as sounding like it came from a non-native speaker...some of the wording just sounds "unnatural" to me--like "All of the Anime on DAISUKI are official versions", "DAISUKI Store NOW OPEN High quality, Japanese products for your collection", etc. Their Twitter also sounds like a non-native speaker sometimes ("Christmas mood everyone?").

Not that it bothers me, I actually think it's pretty cute.
