Funimation streaming improved
Updated my mac to Yosemite 10.10.5 and was able to stream Funimation on 720p without buffering.
Disenchanted with streamed anime
Funimation’s streaming is just horrible (constant buffering, pixelation). There’s a strategy some some web sites use called “miserable users” designed to drive away unwanted users–That’s exactly what Funimation’s streaming service is like. You experience so many glitches and playback problems on Funimation that you want to leave. I’m going to start watching more BDs and DVDs to save my sanity. Streaming technology is still half-baked to be enjoyable or practical. Streaming is a last resort.
Kaoru Akimoto: Cologne
I fell in love with Dress Down after hearing it sampled by Yung Bae. Amazon Japan didn’t have any copies (new or used) until recently. A merchant wanted $125 dollars for a used copy in “acceptable” condition. I purchased it despite the list of problems with the CD artwork and disc itself. Fortunately, the seller exaggerated it’s condition. The artwork is in good condition and the disc is ever so slightly worn.
The seller shipped it free to my Tenso address then Tenso shipped it stateside by EMS. Usually, the mailman has me sign for EMS packages but not this time. I also created an account at my.usps.com and was able to track my package with the EMS tracking number.
