Anime/Manga News, Stories and Updates
And at the same time...we already linked you to FUNimation's new video site because we love you and we want you to have nice things (and it's pretty darn nice). But its official beta launch was today, so make sure you hit up the newly-added how-to page and the official press release.
Now, if you look at both you'll notice that one of the site's features is “Ability to share video.” I'm sure many of you joined me in hoping that this might mean DRM-free download-to-own videos, but alas, such is not the case-- for the time being it's really just an “e-mail link to a friend” feature. That said, I talked to a FUNi rep and she says they are working on having an “embed” feature. So when that happens (maybe by the official non-beta launch in spring of '09?), you can post full anime episodes to your blogs right here at the Vice. Which may not be quite as cool as DRM-free downloads, but it's still pretty darn spiffy.

Funimation might throw a fit for pointing it out, but its not like their DRM paid video service is better quality-wise.
