Free Code Geass streams FINALLY available in Canada

In what is probably much more important news than anything going on on television right now, more than half of Code Geass is now streaming for free on YouTube, courtesy of Bandai Entertainment. This has actually been the case for a month, but it only this past week that they have finally ceased coating these streams in their anti-Canadian repellent powder. Given that Bandai Entertainment has ownership of all Canadian streaming rights for the series and can't possibly face bandwidth limitations by placing them on YouTube of all sites, it remains a mystery as to why Canadian access has taken this long. We can only assume that they were waiting for the Queen's blessing.

In any case, you are now free to view the streams HERE.

What I find more discouraging, however, is that these high quality, uncensored dub and subtitled full episodes being provided online for free from Bandai Entertainment aren't even on the first page of search results when one searches for "Code Geass" on YouTube. Many of them don't even have 200 views! Oh well, spread the word!

Sweet find; this'll be my first time watching the series. I wish a Canadian TV station would pick it up.

BTW, Naruto.com also started streaming Shippuden to Canadians. They link you to Hulu or something like that.

If you set up a YouTube account you can susbcribe to the channels so you'll be notified when new episodes come out, although I've found that system doesn't always work.

Then there's programs such as tooble.

That's great but I've never seen it before so I don't know if I should watch it.

Judging from the first episode, it's very Gundam-y.

I haven't actually watched the Gundam series though, so I don't know. If it's something like Death Note, with the suspense and the action, I might tune in, but I also wanna see it on TV. I've actually decided to watch any new anime that premieres on YTV, and if I like it, I'll continue to watch it. Hope Code Geass is one of them, but it's online for free, though, so I'll check it out this weekend.

It's good to see that Canadians finally have streaming access now. It's not a TV broadcast, but it'll do for now, I guess.

I've already seen it once during its Japanese airing and I'm buying the DVDs, so this doesn't matter to me too much, but this is a nice way for those who haven't seen it to finally try it out.

I just had a look at the website and it said:

"We are unable to show you the original featured video for this channel due to age or location restrictions"

Now I know my age isn't the problem here. So what is going on?

Which video did you have the problem with? And did you make sure you were logged on? (The age restricted videos won't work if you're not.) Also check your age and location settings.

Crunchyroll just added Code Geass in both the dubbed and subbed versions.
