In what exactly? Higher res, better video management?

In nothing, really.

In nothing, really.

well if they are slow to take down videos then they are better just for that. don't know what their policy is though. if it becomes popular then they will likely be the same as youtube though.

I guess they got tired of people trying to register JP NicoNico accounts all the time and just opened it up to everybody.

Also they probably want to compete with Youtube, they're just starting about 5 years too late at this point.

another funny video that came from niconico is called bad aniki. i think its related to that muscle roller video.

sounds like Cho Aniki. which could be the inspiration for the Muscle Roller video (along with Ultimate Muscle)

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I must admit that Super Girl in the stream was pretty hot.

 

[TheSeks]

With YouTube around, what's the point?

No region lock/IP lock (IIRC) and fully translated menus for Blazblue videos from Japan? Come on, dementia. :/

I don't think any video site is trying to actively compete with Youtube at this point... If they are, all I can do is lol.

The comment system is vastly superior to youtube. English site looks barebones though, I'll stick with spanish version for now: http://es.nicovideo.jp/

As soon as those things start streaming across I have to read all of them. I have to. I can't turn them off. I must read all of them.

Too scared to click the first link XD!!

Nico Nico? Well I guess it would be good for something ; Free anime I hope?

 

[glaringradio]

I get the feeling that this is going to be a completely pointless exercise in wasting bandwidth. It isn't that difficult for people to rip videos from NN and put them up on YouTube (which is why there are countless NN videos already up on YouTube) so I don't understand the point.

Crunchy Roll

also, the first link is just some dude discovering yaoi for the first time

 

[jogarrr]

So wait.. It's powered by YouTube, so all the videos here are already up on YouTube?

I did notice that a YouTube video hit me with an ad where the NicoNico video didn't, so I guess there is that.

edit: Nevermind. I see some are from YT and others are from the JP Nico Nico.

 

[jett]

What for

It's a video of a guy watching a shota/yaoi . Its based off of a boxden posters reaction to watching the anime. You can see what he wrote and was consequently dubbed into the video here.

Jourdal mirrors all the Blaz videos anyway, lol.

 

[Urban Scholar]

Ahaha someone posted they would send them boku no pico for lagging when those cute girls were talking.

 

[SciencePilot]

Niconico in America? I don't really know what to think of this. I don't think it'll do anything good for me... wouldn't be any better than youtube, I guess.

 

[sprsk]

The website design is pretty awful...

 

[N4Us]

You haven't lived until you've watched (Vidiot From) UHF on NicoVideo.jp.

 

[bengraven]

"I ain't goin to heaven niggaz, I already sold my soul to Lucifer"

"It's Satan's own porn collection"

lol I don't know what this thread is about, but that Youtube video in the second post has me rolling.

 

[GhaleonQ]

Are they not bringing in the vast treasure trove of existing videos? This is considerably less awesome news if not. (I went through the F.A.Q. and help sections and it didn't say. Apologies if I'm just blind.)

 

[Vic]

so we get more stuff like don't watch an anime called boku NSFW

hahahaha

 

[Mik2121]

Would that mean we also get more SEX! SEX! HAGESHIKU SEX! (probably only funny if you understand Japanese) (original niconico vid with lyrics and comments)
