About time, what took so long. I wonder who leaked this news.

I wonder if we'll ever get streams fullstop from Funi back for the UK, which have been gone since this incident...

if they have streaming stuff I can finally watch the anime. I rather do it legally and sit out the wait from what happened last time instead of watching fansubs

I'm so excited about this.

Today has been a great day for me, and this just made it even better! Very Happy

I assumed that tomorrow's news was going to be about the streaming and Simulcast. And we know that it's going to be "good" news thanks to FUNimation's Twitter saying so. Anime smile

I can't wait to watch some more One Piece! (I stopped watching at 405, because I figured that they'd upload the rest on there and I want to watch them all legally from now on.)

It's already back. Not fully recovered yet, but not a complete blockage like before.

I hope that they'll bring it back. I've wanted to watch this legally for awhile.

Can't wait til an episode leaks again, followed by everyone in a corporate suit freaking out and compiling hit lists while all the fans whine and moan.

Ah...yes, May...those were the good ol' days.

Actually...I DO wonder if it'll happen again... Confused

Guess they've been ass licking Toei all this time to try and get it back.
I don't think they deserve it myself after being so stupid and not taking note of the warnings with other shows being leaked before hand, but then again, I'm all for legal streams.

It was back, during the maintenance. It's gone again.

If you leak Funimation content, everybody suffers as a result. One should hope that the events of earlier this year have engrained into the fanbase such a message, to the extent that nobody can expect to receive kudos from their peers for repeating such an act.
Of course, this is probably a most optimistic of stances...

I am sure those, um, "guys", that did it before are looking forward to plastering their names all over the internet again claiming they can do anything.

Personally I hope they fail - miserably.

I also hope the fansub groups releasing One Piece will stop within an episode or two of it returning to FUNI full time.

That will happen as soon as you play a game of Russian Roulette with six bullets, and survive.

Being blocked from FUNi streams for the horrible crime of being European, I hope not.

Pretty much. Even if an American group stops, a British or Australian group might start up; sharing online is completely international. Of course, this goes against FUNi's hilarious rule about it being that country's ISP's responsibility to block American IP address, lest an American download it. Yeah, good luck.
