Existing Ideas and Reponses

1. Allow the uploader to change the title names to match other similar videos that were uploaded. 2. Another option is while the uploader is typing the name of the video, show a dropdown list of similar name so that the video can be same name for the series like same title name with different episode numbers.
Uploaders can edit their video titles on the video page. The second part however has been done

I'm wondering if there is a button to download every single episode at once? Or if there would be a torrent magnet link which can be updated as new episodes come out?
No, please go to The Silent Library

Tags for videos e.g. "Food" "Batsu" etc. And maybe as a tag maybe in the discription of the video the people that are in the video/episode. Obviously there will be no need to specifically write out Downtown, Cocorico and Yamasaki/Tsukitei Hosei but maybe for other people like Heipo, Jimmy, Obachan etc.
The search box is already very broad in results. However, tags for non-main cast is quite a good idea, will look in to it

Much better to upload videos to Veoh l, because it is faster and good for slow internet connection. What do you say folks?
This idea is quite old and the Gaki Distribution Network now exists and it much more reliable. We also will not upload to third parties, as it helps with not having constant takedowns

Please organize everything better. I can't tell where the Las Vegas Batsu game starts. Which video is the first one?!
Probually the one that says 'Part 1'...

Please add more video servers, because others has a problem in playing videos and improve the video player by putting volume button on mobile mode. I don't see volume display using android devices even if on full screen.
We have 3 video servers, Europe, Singapore and US. One of them should work for you. We now have a CDN providing the videos from a local server. As for the volume, this is a limitation of the video player, the volume controls for mobile are under the video We have replaced the video player and the volume controls are now avaliable on mobile :)

Added a 'Random Video' link

Expand the header out to 100% of the page, this will soon happen for every page

New layout for the video page, with the comments being moved to the side rather than under the video

Watch next on video page - If a video has a 'Part 2' etc, this will be shown there (however, these have to be set manually, might take a while). Otherwise it will choose a random video from the same category.
