Films purchased from Showcase at Home are in their original Japanese language with English subtitles by default, but those that have English language dubs have them included, where they can be accessed as bonus content. A rental period is 14 days overall with a 48 hours playback period, meaning that you have 14 days to start the film, but once you press play, you have 48 hours to watch the film as many times as you like.
You can view their catalogue and purchase titles at their website. Showcase at Home can be viewed either on a desktop, or apps for iOS and Android. For playback on a TV, the service suggests using AirPlay or Chromecast to project one of the mobile apps to the larger screen.
