Netflix really disappoints me with their anime selection. They have DVDs missing from nearly every anime series I'm interested in. One of the few exceptions was Naruto Uncut Boxset. I added all of it to my queue and sure enough, when I got to set 3 it suddenly became unavailable, so I added the crappy Toonami version to my queue to cover for that box set. Now we are finally nearing the end of the horrible-opening-themed-Toonami DVDs and ready to pick back up on box set number 4 and suddenly it is unavailable. At least with Naruto I have an inferior collection to fall back on. Such is not the case with most anime.
On top of that, the streaming selection for anime is bare-bones. Come on Netflix, this is just unacceptable. If anime DVDs are so hard to come by, please put some resources toward some streaming deals. If you have people destroying and stealing, please be prompt in suspending them so other's do not have to suffer.
Is anyone else disappointed with this aspect of Netflix?

I'm very disappointed with Netflix's anime selection. Hulu has Naruto, but I'm not sure what edition it is. It would be nice if they would fix the anime problem. It reminds me of how some episodes in series are available on disk only while the rest is on streaming. Only worse.
It looks like they are adding a lot of anime to streaming on October 1st. Keep it coming Netflix!
