It&#8217;s a neat idea, but I have a feeling Greencine will still have them beat (at least for me).  Some issues I already see with the site.  There are some very noticeable holes in their selection.  No original <a href=\"http:\/\/www.animenfo.com\/animetitle,90,iwckrc,bubblegum_crisi.html\">Bubblegum Crisis<\/a>.  And they&#8217;ve only got the second OVA of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.animenfo.com\/animetitle,167,dratqa,fushigi_y_gi.html\">Fushigi Yugi<\/a> (I&#8217;d thought this might be a good chance to check out the series since I&#8217;ve never seen it).<\/p>\n<p>So, the first marks against them are for selection, but I&#8217;m willing to cut them some slack since they first opened.  Beyond that, the site itself feels like it needs a bit of work. the design feels a little rushed.  And it&#8217; is missing features that other sites have.  For example: Can I queue up a full series and get them in order? Doesn&#8217;t look like it.  Can I easily request things they don&#8217;t have? The don&#8217;t say.  There are lots of little details that I think they need to look at if they are going to survive.  Especially when there are services like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greencine.com\/\">Greencine<\/a> that have a kickass anime selection and a great site overall.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll report back more when I&#8217;ve got my first selections from them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a new online DVD rental service called rentanime.com that I&#8217;ve decided to give a try for their two week free trial.
