The site, in 2006
A streaming service for anime and other East Asian shows, started by four University of California, Berkeley graduates.
It began in 2006 hosting fan-subtitled shows without licences, then moved to licensed content from 2009. It reported one million paying subscribers in February 2017 and is now owned by Sony.
In 2006: Launched on 14 May by Kun Gao, James Lin, Vu Nguyen and Brandon Ooi, hosting East Asian shows, many subtitled by fans.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
