About

Nico Nico Douga is a video sharing website in Japan.

Run Time Comments

What differentiates this site from sites such as youtube?

When you watch a video you might see some text flying across the screen, these are comments that viewers of the video have posted. When you post a comment it will show up at the time of posting in the video duration.

What is that good for?

For example, if you think about something while watching a certain part of a video it might be fun if someone has written a comment at that part that resembles your thought, or maybe someone sees something in the video that you didn’t think about while watching it.

Is there a list of a videos comments or do I have to watch the video to read them?

You can see a list of the comments and their appearance times in a big box to the right of the video (there might be some English ones in some videos).

How do I watch videos without comments?

Press the “Comment” button below the video, it should look like this after you’ve pressed it:
