Gonzo Announces Commercial Speed Grapher Downloads

Gonzo has formally announced plans to offer the Speed Grapher anime television series through commercial digital transfer as a year long experiment to explore the viability of peer-to-peer commercial anime distribution. Episodes will be available as copy-protected download-to-own digital files in standard definition at 1,000 yen per episode, and high definition at 1,500 yen per episode. Gonzo will also offer 2.5 minute long episodes of the Project PAPO CG animation at 150 yen per episode.

Commercial downloading requires installation of the “SkeedCast” content delivery program and may be restricted to consumers within Japan only.
