Sound like a modern day Mushi-shi :)
 
Yay! Funimation have ruined Kingdom's chances but aside from that almost everything I wanted this season is on CR now :D it's come a long way.

Speaking of CR, I have some guest passes if anyone wants one.
*raises hand shyly*

I'd get a membership, but last time I tried they only did direct debit and I hate those.
 
Already used it to watch Humanity Has Declined 3 (loved it). My laptop doesn't seem to be up to taking full 1080p, but 720p plays with no problems and looks mighty beautiful too.

For some reason it doesn't apply to my iPad though - that's capable of playing full HD, but even when logged in it won't let me view it. I guess Crunchyroll actually want me to pay to go portable? xD

EDIT: Worked on my iPad for Kokoro Connect. Weird.

This seems to be a bug with the app (which hasn't been updated in a long while). At some times I can't watch most shows for no apparent reason but then later on it will be perfectly fine. I have an all-access subscription so it's probably just a glitch. Hopefully they'll update it soon.

I have guest passes too if Rena's supply is eventually drained :)

Same here. While I have the broadband for it, my laptop lacks the oomph.

Now if Crunchyroll ever introduce an app for Panasonic Smart TVs, I'll gladly open the gates of my bank account for them. iPlayer and Youtube stream a lot better on that then they do on the PC.
