Yeah me too.. just wanna know why.. I'm more then willing to pay for membership.. if it was slighty cheaper as well. But the most important thing would be to know why can't we view? is it some legal issue.. if so could you please enlighten us =)

Thanks a bunch Shinji

Naruto Episodes 221 to 228 have just been launched! =D I know some of you are used to a different episode numbering scheme, these are Episodes 1 to 8 of the Naruto Shippuden arc. Our numbering scheme starts at the beginning of the original Naruto series, so hopefully you guys get used to this system! We will be launching 8 old episodes and 1 simulcast (the newest episode) every week from now on. Naruto is available worldwide except Japan and France.

Naruto Simulcast (the newest episode, #311) will launch on January 8th for Anime Members in High Definition and January 15th for everyone else in standard definition. Anime Members will always get to watch simulcast anime shows earlier, and in High Definition when available. For more details, I'll have a full release calendar ready by next week.

We've also launched a bunch of other shows, and will continue to add more and more each day, so check back often =D Here's some of the others we've released today:

Gintama
Eyeshield 21
Skip Beat!
Shugo Chara
Dear Boys
Chrono Crusade
Neo Angelique Abyss

We also have a bunch of simulcast next week! You can watch the latest Gintama, Shugo Chara, Skip Beat, Natsume Yujincho, Web Ghosts PiPoPa, Linebarrels of Iron, Tower of Druaga -the Sword of Uruk-, and more, right when it is broadcast in Japan... and only here on Crunchyroll!


Most of these shows will be soft-subtitled in English when it launches. Remember, we try extremely hard to get worldwide broadcast rights for these shows, but often times it gets really complicated, so unfortunately we can't show it in your region. For region details, check out our January lineup.

Crunchyroll is now one of the few places online to watch anime legitimately - if you have to watch something, please do it on Crunchyroll to support the anime industry. Only with your support can they keep making more anime! Thanks for all your support, and long live cr!

so blocking animes will most probably forces animes addicts to go buy memberships--the more we buy the more we get to watch...it's a shame for anime addicts out there to be the only one to watch anime in the entire country, since there wont be anyone near by to help them unblock their region (financially speaking). but if you wont buy your membership, and everyone is thinking the same thing as you do--then animes wont be available in the near by future
