I've known about it for a long time, but now that I've gotten an account.... I can testify and say that it really is awesome! I find its name very appropriate, its videos always makes me snicker/smirk/giggle/SMILE! biggrin biggrin ....anyway I'm sure it's as well known as youtube in Japan, so I put it in this subforum. What does everyone else think about niconico? Do you have a niconico account? Niconico vs. youtube? Currently watching: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm83 (Okkusenman!)

Getting an account is almost as bad as getting an invite/account on live journal quite a while ago. Practices like that I think are idiotic, but then again, niconico does not have as bad as a problem as youtube in terms of people that will make many accounts just to post bad comments on people's videos. Give the people anonymity and they will think they'll own the place. xD
Anyway, many of the videos I have seen on niconico are well done and entertaining (a bonus if you know Japanese as well).

Yeah, youtube does have a really bad problem with that. Maybe it's just the videos I watch (mainly songs and anime-related things, like フタエノキワミ!アァ... I think it was called) but I don't really see that much bad stuff on niconico. Then again I probably wouldn't be able to understand if there was, haha. But on english videos, like that Rick Roll one, some people just repeat the n word over and over again. Grah. So unnecessary. D:<
Actually I've learned a good amount of japanese from niconico, espcially music videos that have the super-huge lyrics come up.

D:< I noticed that if a video mainly in English without subtitled translations appears on niconico, you get a whole bunch of users sometimes spamming out the only English they know, and usually it's what they hear from the video or cusswords. The same thing happens when something from 2chan is leaked to another internet site in the states; the americans spam the 2chan forms with random Japanese and stuff. I've seen it happen and it's hilarious in either case.

Niconico is love and awesome. Many of my favorite videos come from there and I would gladly show my friends how to get on so they can watch too.

It should be noted that my previous statement about "it being as hard as getting an account on live journal a few years ago (where it was by invite only)" does not apply anymore to niconico. They even now have a spot to state where you are from across the world now (previously, as it was only by invite, you had to list what prefecture in Japan you're from; now there's spots for many other countries available).

I've heard about it from this or that source but I've never actually been there. I do enjoy some of the memes that originate there and filter across the net to Gaia.

Good to hear it's acknowledging the influx of people outside of Japan interested in the site. I imagine 2ch and 4chan memes are being mixed together during vids as we speak.

I love niconico! It's nice to check the ranking once a day just to see if the video you saw yesterday is getting appreciated.
