That's great that you agree, but what does it bring to the topic's discussion?
When I watched some DB/Z/GT clips on YouTube, I was trying to watch Goku's Saiyan Origins. But my g-ddang country blocked it. So I have the DVDs and there's no worries here to speak.
So you live in Canada and can view "that" site, but you can't view things FUNimation posts on YouTube? Is that what you're saying? Also, it isn't your country that's blocking it, it's the U.S. that's blocking it, or rather YouTube.

I've notice you're having issues in just about every thread you're posting in. Try elaborating and making your thoughts clear. Random nonsensical one-liners aren't gonna get you anywhere on these forums, especially when they just don't make any sense in the context of the thread's topic.

There are an number of options that you can use to mask your IP address with a US based IP. I do that when I run across a website that has content blocked in Canada.

Yeah, there was little exchange of words because of this some time earlier.
I think it's pretty unfair, depending on US releases, but whatever..........

F**k you Funimation! :lol:

They blocked Europe, so we can download everything they released and quit buying 8)

Eh, then the FMA dvds must be illegally imported, because at least here in Norway another company than FUNi has released some FUNi dvds (although they're just PAL encodes of the FUNi dvds).
Panini has sublicensed FMA for European distribution, excluding English-speaking countries.
Panini??? Damn, the same Panini which makes TV show stickers and cards???

Yep, in Europe, there are pretty huge in the business. Panini Video was also one of the biggest anime publishers in Germany, till the sales were cut because of DVD rippers and illegal downloading/streaming. Now their anime section isn't a
ctive here anymore but their a big comic publisher (and books, stickers etc.).

The second you guys get the BBC to allow me to watch their UK only video streaming for Doctor Who Confidential, I'll cry for you not getting FUNimation's videos. This goes in all directions, not just against you.
