Awesome news! I have to admit, I’ve been away from AN for quite some time, largely b/c most of my anime watching has went to sites & services that offer their channels on streaming devices/smart tvs/consoles. I just don’t watch on my actual computer anymore b/c it’s better enjoying it on the ‘big screen’. But this is great and it may even sway me to subscribe!

But quick question, though, on that. Will the same titles available for VoD be included on the roku channel as well? I haven’t subbed to cable or Sat TV for years so I don’t know what you have on there compared to the website but basically what I’m asking is will this be a ‘full channel’ experience (meaning all of whatever content you all have Anime and all else) on Roku?

(Edit I might have gotten my answer from the roku faq, lol, but to be sure I’m on the right track of thinking–a quick confirmation will do!)
