Anyone else watching this? It's a streaming service on Amazon.com that mainly focuses on live action Japanese shows. It has SOME anime, but the main focus is live action, in the sci-fi action genre.
So far, the service has a somewhat subpar library, but hopefully they will keep adding more shows.
Most of the shows are Ultraman, or at least somewhat related to Ultraman. The oldest show they currently have on the service is "Mirrorman" who despite not being an incarnation of Ultraman....looks an awful lot like Ultraman.

I discovered this service when I found that amazon had the popular series "Gridman" available, so I decided to subscribe to it, for a while at least. It's only 3.99 a month, which isn't too bad I suppose. Although if they want to keep subscribers, they really need to beef up the library.

So far, I'm happy with the service, although I do have a couple minor complaints. The first complaint I have is that there aren't enough series on there. There really should be a larger selection, if they want to entice more subscribers.

The second complaint I have is the subtitles. Now, this might just be a fluke, because I'm currently only watching Gridman, but the thing is, the first three or four episodes are subtitled very professionally, but each episode I've watched SINCE then (I'm up to episode 9) has been very poorly done, with broken english, grammatical mistakes, and even characters names being misspelled. What the fuck ? There's no excuse for that if you've proven you can do it right.

I wasn't aware such a service existed, but taking your complaints into consideration it seems fangroups are doing a better job at translating and keeping up with shows.

Meh, whatever. I'll stick to Kissasian.
