I know there is already a thread about this, but I'm starting a new one so I can keep the first post up to date with all of the shows and episodes that have been posted. I also want to start more discussion on the shows that have been uploaded. I figured if I started my own thread I could keep it more lively and up to date with new information. Hope thats OK.

Anyways, here's the current rundown of what Funimation has available.

NOW AVAILABLE:
Blue Gender - Ep. 1-26 (Complete)
Kiddy Grade - Ep. 1-24 (Complete)

Also, a good way to see what might be coming out next is to look at what the offer for sale on their site and other online download-to-own stores. If it is available, then that means they have the digital rights for it. I will keep a compiled list of these titles below:

Interesting to see more confirmation that they are intent on putting complete series up on youtube. Honestly I keep meaning to perhaps try one of the series out and yet never find the time because I'm distracted by other things. Well I did try out the first episode of Peach Girl, but because it gave the impression that it would be melodramatic as possible, I've been hesitant to check out anymore of it.

Well anyways, here's what I've watched so far, and what I think about it:

Mushi-shi - Ep. 1-3 - I like it so far, but I find it a little hard to follow sometimes. I'll definitely continue with it though.
Peach Girl - Ep. 1-5 - I really like this one so far. Really interesting. Sai is probably one of the meanest people I've ever seen.
Slayers - Ep. 1-6 - Pretty good so far, but getting a little repetitive and boring.
Suzuka - Ep. 1-26 - I actually bought this one on iTunes and I really enjoyed. The ending wasn't as conclusive as I would have liked though.

I've been watching Blue Gender and have been very pleasantly surprised. Really good show, not the deepest thing in the world as of yet but with enough action and character drama to keep me glued to the screen.

I find myself groaning in frustration when I finish what they've put up for the week and realize that I have to wait for more. Four episodes of this just go by in a flash!

Like I said in the TRSI thread, I've passed this up many times over the years because I didn't think it'd be very good. Seeing it on Youtube got me to order the collection during the Funimation sale that just ended.

Now I've gotta check out Mushi-shi, Peach Girl, and Suzuka.

Maybe I'll check it out then.

So far, I have checked out Peach Girl. I plan to watch Mushishi and Suzuka sometime later on Funimation's Channel.

So anyways, I pretty much have no life.

I stayed up tell 12:30 last night watching Peach Girl, and I'm now through all 24 episodes they've posted. Only 1 more to go which should be on around Tuesday.

Let's just say, if drama isn't your thing, you probably won't like Peach Girl. I've had enough drama to last me over a year just from 24 episodes. On the other hand, I did really enjoy the story, and Im interested to see which guy she chooses.

Wow, I didn't know they were doing this! How awesome!
I'll be watching some episodes soon.

Most of what they've got up I already own but I'm going to start checking out Mushi-shi soon to see what it's like. I really like the way they've got things set up.
