I didn't finish either of the first seasons (okay, I didn't give the yaoi one a chance), so nothing for me yet, but obviously there will be many more added for me to follow and enjoy.

Doubtful. Viz said on their facebook they were gunning for the new HxH, and that the japanese licensors got other offers for it as well. Crunchy was probably one of them, but I;d say the series is going to either Viz or Funimation(I assume they went after it) as they can get full rights and that would sound a bit more appealing to the japanese licensors...especially if it's Viz since, Shueisha is funding the series...

[Buckeye]

I'll eventually get to Squid Girl 2 at some point. Right now, I have other things that takes priority on my backlog.

Well Naruto and Bleach are both on crunchyroll, and they're pretty much viz's most valuable properties. Also Fairy Tale for Funimation, although that was licensed by them after it had already been on cr for a while...

The difference for the titles that you mentioned is that they were being simulcasted by Crunchyroll first before anywhere else. Nowadays, if it;s not on Crunchy first, R1 licensors aren;t going share streaming rights with them.

Oh, ok. Hopefully it's legally streaming somewhere at least. I kind of want to actually watch it week by week as it airs, but illegal methods are such a pain...

I will check Shinryaku!? Ika Musume for sure!

And Naruto and Bleach were big pushes by Crunchyroll to get those titles ~ both broadcast on Crunchyroll's part-owner TV Tokyo ~ and both involve special deals where Viz does the subtitling, presumably with Crunchyroll paying Viz to subtitle the series. and after the one week subscriber access, Viz and Crunchyroll both do ad-based streaming.

Those deals would be expected to cover their contracting costs, given the popularity of the series and the multiple seasons of simulcasts covered by the deal ~ a one or two season simulcast of uncertain market appeal might not be able to earn back the contracting costs of a special deal like that.

Recently, there have been a few regular seasonal simlucasts where Crunchyroll has sublicensed from a North American streaming licensee who is going the route of multiple streaming partners ~ which for Crunchyroll is likely to be fewer moving parts than the Naruto or Bleach deals, since there's only the one main licensee for them to contract with ~ but AFAIR, neither Viz, FUNimation nor Neo-ADV (Sentai/Section23/TAN) have gone that route.

Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results: adoption of a new streaming strategy by any one of those three could well lead to a new pattern of behavior.

Do they have the usual /lineup page available yet? The one I saw is still listing summer shows, at least as of a few hours ago.

Indeed:)

So this and Ika 2 will be the first two series I watch from the beginning as they air in Japan (caught up on Deadman Wonderland halfway through, and Durarara's the only other thing that even comes close).

Nice, now I don't feel so bad about never buying the first series. I hope it's good!

Guess I'll check it out, with the usual "depends on the translation" caveats. I wonder if Crunchy can land any of the really big titles this season though: Fate, Shana, Haganai, etc. If they're getting in on the Fate action they've already missed an episode, so it looks like Aniplex isn't involving them, unless it's on a Nico delay like Dantalian or whatever.

I'm wonder what's taking CR a little long in announcing Fall '11 shows unless they couldn't get anything besides what they announced or it's taking a lot longer than usual to get the agreements signed and what not.

They are pretty slow this season. With all the shows coming out you'd think they'd land at least, I dunno, 8-9. Guess they'll just be delayed on some.

I won't be watching this one, but I hope this trend of announcing a new simulcast every day, then beginning it on that day, continues. The number at the beginning of the season was obviously way too low, so I can only hope they just keep adding more at every chance.

Which would essentially mean they're worthless to me. Someone will have a 720p version out before then. Only time I'd use CR in that case is if I got far behind...

I'm under the impression that they may be using a different translation as well (at least, one of the posters on one of the forums I read mentioned earlier today that he was doing translation for it specifically for Crunchyroll). How this'll compare to over translations available is obviously in question, though. Might be better, or at least more compliant to terminology used in other F/SN translations, than the NND subs.

I haven't watched any version of the first episode yet so I don't know which I prefer (some are NND, some are new TLs) but even then, I doubt I'd go out of my way to wait a week unless NND and all the other TLs were bad. And then only if CR's was better.

Worth keeping in mind though. Does anyone know if CR uses the Quarkboy/NND translations for their Summer NND-delay shows like Dantalian?

WAGNARIA!!
Never heard of it. Must be some obscure gag comedy liked Naked Wolves. Pass!

Yes, sarcasm. What's up with all these delayed starts, CR? I don't mean the pre-air in early September, I didn't expect them to air that, but the re-air of ep 1 is already over one every station except BS11 Digital and I doubt that's the station CR is based on. Are we ever going to get this simulcasting thing worked out so that it's reliably simul-ish?

Same problem as F/Z... if they don't catch up, and stay a week behind, odds are they aren't getting my viewing minutes. I'll gladly choose a more timely source.

Good good, I was hoping it'd just be that. They've done that for other shows before. I don't care too much if it starts a week late, but I do care if every episode is a week late. It actually works out okay for me this time because I can't watch much anime during the week and probably wasn't going to watch Working'!! ep 1 until Saturday the 8th anyway.

I don't hold out too much hope of the same being true for Fate/Zero though... NND may be more a curse than a blessing if they get first-broadcast rights on everything while still refusing to stream in a remotely reasonable resolution.

[EmperorBrandon]

I watched Fate/Zero ep. 1 on Nico, but I'll probably watch the rest on Crunchyroll since it's not really one of the titles I'm in a rush to see anyway.

First Kadokawa, and now Aniplex is giving Niconico their simulcasts a week before Crunchyroll? What's the deal? Well it's still good to have more options for it. I was just hoping they'd get it at the same time.

I don't care too much if it starts a week late, but I do care if every episode is a week late.


I don't mind a week late, but I do mind if it is a few weeks late like Idolmaster. After watching a few episodes of Dantalian at NND... I stopped because the quality was just terrible.

Right now, I find this seasons "simulcasts" weak for CR. I hope later this week or next week, we get to hear some more announcements.

I agree, and I find this one of the CR's weakest lineup since their inception.

The only new shows I'm looking forward to are Fate/zero and Hunter x Hunter. Being a huge Fate/stay night fan I won't be waiting a week to watch Fate/zero. If CR really is a week late on every episode of Fate/zero I'll only have Hunter x Hunter as a new show.

To me, it seems like CR for the past few seasons have been trying to pump the continuing series making it seem like they've added a lot and cover it. This season it's even more transparent than usual.

Anime on Demand starts streaming it this Sunday, so if Crunchy has it, they would likely start Sunday as well (since NicoNico (JP), Chiba Tele, and Television Saitama will start showing it Sunday). I'm assuming that they will have it based on the fact that one of the other companies would have said something prior to now if they had it.

I could have sworn they announced this at the beginning... Anyway, obvious simulcast and not for me.

[Quarkboy]

As for who is doing the translations of F/Z, my team is handling nico's english version, and I'm pretty sure CR is getting those scripts too, but they may be retranslating or re-editing them if they want, I'm not involved with that.

The other 7 languages I am helping with the timing and encoding, but that's all.

There's a lot of inconsistency with the terminology in the community as is, plus there are multiple versions of the games (the all-ages version, the original ero-game, etc...), so I'm not sure there's a way to please everyone (or whether that's even a good idea).
Being self consistent is key, at least.

Crunchyroll has announced that they will begin simulcasting the comedy action series MAJIKOI OH! SAMURAI GIRLS as part of their Fall lineup of streaming anime. The first episode airs tomorrow, Saturday, October 8 at 9:30 am PST.

MAJIKOI OH! SAMURAI GIRLS will be available in the following territories: United States and Canada.

Majikoi... well it's one I was going to try. I keep thinking they'll get Mashiro-iro Symphony but I guess even if they do it's late at this point, so perhaps I should just hope they get something they can stream in a timely manner instead.

That's odd. I guess maybe their license required them to simulcast on Crunchyroll as otherwise you would think they would use TAN as usual.

It was like that with Sacred Seven, the publisher was Bandai Entertainment. So maybe they will simulcast it on TAN and CR. Like that they will reach more people.

Shinryaku!? Ika Musume/Squid Girl 2 Goes on 2-Week Hiatus

posted on 2011-10-11 04:50 EDT

No new episodes on October 24, November 7

The official website of the second Squid Girl (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=11421) television anime series announced (http://www.ika-musume.com/news.html#N111011B) on Tuesday that the anime will not air new episodes on October 24 and November 7 "due to circumstances at the station" TV Tokyo (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=262) in the Kanto area.

[Damius]

I wonder what is happening with the station...no Shinryaku!? Ika Musume for two weeks... The invasion will have to wait!

I wonder what is happening with the station...no Shinryaku!? Ika Musume for two weeks... The invasion will have to wait!

Thankfully it's two one week delays (10/24 off, 10/31 on, 11/07 off) rather than one two-week delay, but still sucks. But it'll still be the full 12-13 episodes so that's the important part.

[Damius]

It seems we have a reason for the hiatus:

From ANN:

Since TV Aichi and TV Osaka (the other two stations showing the anime) will start their broadcasts two weeks after TV Tokyo did, TV Tokyo's hiatus will bring all three stations' episode schedules in line.
Has this happened before?

Something similar happened due to the earthquake earlier this year. AT-X aired episode 22 of Index II on the day of the earthquake, but the rest of the airing stations did not run it due to their coverage of the earthquake. Thus they had to wait for the rest of the stations to air episode 22 the following week before they could run episode 23 two weeks later.

Looks like I'll be cancelling my subscription any day now. I bought it to watch Level E, kept it for Usagi Drop, but I don't see anything this fall that's worth my money. After they picked up Usagi Drop, I had hopes that CR would license Un-Go since Funimation didn't choose to carry it.

I assume they will be Kadokawa series (Mirai Nikki and Maken-ki). The former is already getting simulcast in other regions at least. Un-Go is a possibility for Crunchyroll, but I think Guilty Crown will very likely be FUNi-only.

I'm sad that Tamayura isn't simulcast, but I guess it isn't very likely. I think the licensor would be Shochiku, and they have never had any simulcasts on Crunchy. Sketchbook was streaming at one point but then they pulled everything but the first episode (which makes little sense if they're not going to make it available again in some manner, which they haven't yet...).

The only simulcasting service I patron is Crunchyroll, because they manage to fuck up the least, and when they do fuck things up, their subs are very easy to fix.

But like hell am I going to try and transcribe/OCR and retime the subs from someone else. Screw that.

And how long have we known which two shows would be carried on noitaminA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noitamina) this fall? Two months? Three months? Why aren't these decisions made weeks in advance, or even a week in advance? That's not entirely a rhetorical question. Every season it seems that noitaminA licenses are announced on or just prior to the shows' premieres in Japan? Why?

Crunchyroll Adds "UN-GO" to Fall Anime Lineup (http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2011/10/13-1/crunchyroll-adds-un-go-to-fall-anime-lineup)

Crunchyroll has announced that they will begin simulcasting the science fiction mystery series "UN-GO" as part of their Fall lineup of streaming anime. The first episode airs today, Thursday, October 13 at 9:30 am PST.

Here's the official synopsis:



"UN-GO" is a full-fledged detective story about a detective and handsome boy combo who tackle the world's most difficult crimes together for reasons of their own. The profession of private detective fell out of favor long ago, and yet, that's how the young man, Shinjurou Yuuki identifies himself. With his superior deductive powers, Shinjurou solves various challenging cases. Meanwhile, Inga, an attractive young lad, serves as Shinjurou's “buddy”. But contrary to his cute looks, he's a sharp, arrogant rogue. Why Inga sticks with Shinjurou is as yet unknown. The setting of the story is a postwar, future Tokyo that still bears the scars of war. Ruling the land is Media King Rinroku Kaishou, who through politics and industry has the communications infrastructure under his thumb. Kaishou has used a clear head and the massive amount of information at his fingertips to lead to the solution of a great number of cases. But there's an underside to Kaishou's brilliant deduction work, which is that Shinjurou Yuuki, "the Last Great Detective", is the one who actually uncovered "the truth" in those cases. However, the public doesn't know this and thus refers to Shinjurou as the "Defeated Detective". Still, Shinjurou, together with Inga, can't help but search for the truth.

UN-GO is available with English subtitles in the United States, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, & Netherlands. Un-Go is available with Portuguese subtitles in Brazil & Portugal.

Haganai??? Oh, it's "I don't have many friends."
Right, "Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukinai", with 'wa' being pronounced and almost always romanized as such, but written in Japanese with what is otherwise the 'ha' character. It is one of the stranger of the universally accepted anime title contractions, as you'd think BokuTomo or something along those lines would have been the first choice.

Shana wouldn't have been picked up since the 2nd season isn't available yet. Wouldn't make sense.
That logic is too R1-centric. Thousands and thousands of English-speaking fans have watched Shana II, and so it would be a perfectly legit pickup for any simulcaster like Crunchyroll. Whether some R1 company has put the DVDs out yet is pretty irrelevant in today's internet world.

Yeah, CR just did it this season with Working!!.

I mean, it's obviously in a streamer's interest to get earlier seasons of a show as well, but it's definitely not a requirement. Shana III would have stood quite well on its own as a simulcasting pickup regardless of whether Shana II was being streamed.

As for who is doing the translations of F/Z, my team is handling nico's english version, and I'm pretty sure CR is getting those scripts too, but they may be retranslating or re-editing them if they want, I'm not involved with that.
Regarding that, when I watched it on NN I'm sure I remember comments complaining about mushi being translated as insect rather than worm, but on CR it does say worms.

Regarding that, when I watched it on NN I'm sure I remember comments complaining about mushi being translated as insect rather than worm, but on CR it does say worms.

Yup. Actually I mentioned that to my translator: We're actually more correct.

This is one of those differences between the original ero-game and the non-ero port... The non-ero port modified the "worms" to "bugs/insects" including a change in design to make them more insecty.

It's been stated that the cleaned up version is now the official "cannon" version, but most western fans know the translation of the original game, not the revised version (which was never fan translated).

"mushi" can be translated as either, so it's really a judgement call... Worms was more appropriate with the original game design, but bugs is better for the design of the anime, in our humble opinion.

I totally understand that people who don't understand this simply find it wrong, though.

[Shiroi Hane]

It was clear the commentors were familiar with some other version - whether it was from a fan translation or some canon material I didn't know (not familiar with the games - haven't even seen more than an episode or so of Fate/Stay Night). They definitely did look more leggy than wormy.

Rather annoying really to see all the users spazzing out when their favourite character appears - like watching a film for the first time with someone who has seen it 50 times and has to announce all the good bits. It was totally confusing for Prince-Sama since I wasn't aware there was a manga (had to hunt it down and add it to ANN myself).

Awesome. I definitely enjoyed the first episode so I'm looking forward to watching the rest via CR. This also means that every anime I'm watching, with the exception of Haganai, is via CR.

It also appears that perhaps Sentai picked it up, in which case, maybe it will get a DVD release to boot!

[something]

Ummm... well that's fantastically late. Unless they plan to catch up completely on the first day and truly simulcast after that, there's no way I'm waiting 3 weeks on CR.

[WTK]

Well, we're here to keep the good time rolling with the addition of ANOTHER title: MASHIROIRO SYMPHONY ~ THE COLOR OF LOVERS (http://www.crunchyroll.com/symphony)!!

Starting on October 22, every Saturday at noon PDT (http://www.crunchyroll.com/symphony) a brand new episode from this title will be available to users in Canada and the US only.
Like Majikoi Oh! Samurai Girls and Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere, the publisher for this is also listed as Sentai Filmworks (http://www.crunchyroll.com/publisher/Sentai).

[Shiroi Hane]

OK, so that is three CR shows this season that are region locked for reason of being Sentai sub-licenses. Since there's only one show I am definitely watching, this season is looking like fantastically bad value.

[EmperorBrandon]

Like Majikoi Oh! Samurai Girls and Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere, the publisher for this is also listed as Sentai Filmworks (http://www.crunchyroll.com/publisher/Sentai).

It's rather curious seeing the decent number of Sentai-published titles on Crunchyroll this season, and even more so that two out of the three aren't even on TAN. Well, whatever the case, I've been wanting to try this series, so I will certainly check it out.

[WTK]

It looks like there will be 2 episodes up this Saturday. If they manage to do 2 more next time after that (which I'm doubting, but they should...), then they will catch up to being only a reasonable few days behind.

Well, if this can help to have more people watch it, so better numbers, so more chance for a BD!

Well, it's really good that they are catching up.

Good good, it's a bit annoying when things take weeks to start, but at least if they start with the current episode, it's not so bad.

Saturday is four days behind the initial TV Aichi airing, but that's not a big deal for me because I can't watch much anime during the week and would only be getting to it on Saturday anyway. A quick look at the TL indicates it's watchable too.

[EmperorBrandon]

Well, it's really good that they are catching up.

Yeah, happy about this. Looks like it will be more of a simulcast than Sentai's other titles on Crunchyroll. Majikoi is a week late and TAN gets Horizon before Crunchyroll (even though I'm subscribing there too, I don't think I'm going to bother with the series, though).

Let's hope it is something that I'll want to watch!

Let's hope it is something that I'll want to watch!

Still a chance it's another Sentai sub-license with Phi Brain, but I'm hope it's something else (since I'll try that on TAN anyway). I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Ben-to or Tamayura.

I didn't thought of Phi Brain, would like Ben-to or Tamayura since this would mean even more series simulcast and I want to watch both of them.

I can't imagine anything they get this late will convince me to change viewing methods, but perhaps I'll be pleasantly surprised and it'll be something I really like but don't like any of the sub options for, like...

...actually, no, everything I really like either has decent fansubbers on it or is already one of the CR streams with subs I find acceptable. I guess there's room for improvement with Bakuman 2, but don't see CR jumping on that this late in the game.

[ilmaestro]

Just... please let it be anything other than Phi Brain. And available in the UK, natch.

[FUNiOP]

Oh yeah, I guess it could still be Phi Brain. I now hope that's not the case, since it will all be free on TAN. I hope it's something exclusive, either Gundam Age (unlikely unless they got it worked out with Bandai, which I imagine we would have heard about first) or Bakuman 2 (also unlikely at this point, but Media Blasters does have a Crunchyroll account, so I'd still like to believe they'd get into simulcasting now).

[Buckeye]

The lineup page (http://www.crunchyroll.com/lineup) now has a date for the TBD box - November 2.

I have a feeling that it will be Phi Brain. But then again, it could be just about anything that has not been taken by Funico.

[Nebamall]

I'm pretty sure today's announcement will be the new season of Digimon Xros Wars.

[WTK]

We've just added another title to our Fall lineup (http://www.crunchyroll.com/lineup): Digimon Xros Wars - The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time (http://www.crunchyroll.com/digimon-xros-war) which is the 7th series of Digimon, sequel to Digimon Xros Wars where a young boy, Taiki Kudo and his friends are brought into the Digital World where they combat evil to save the Digital World from being conquered.

Digimon Xros Wars (http://www.crunchyroll.com/digimon-xros-war) will be available in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

Looks like Nebamall was right. Well, nothing for me but it makes sense given tat they had previous seasons (I think?)

Presuming that you are correct, why on Earth did they bother with such a build up to it.

I didn't think that Digimon was active anymore considering it has been over three years since the last series came out. But here they are still alive and kicking. Since I never really got into Digimon that I'm passing.

Unless you are missing an "..in the US" on that, it is following on directly from the last series, which started airing last summer.

[FUNiOP]

Whoa, wasn't expecting that after no mention of the original Xros Wars in all that time. And since that was never made available, I won't be able to watch this, either. Hopefully they add that soon. I can't imagine why they wouldn't be able to, but I guess they want to focus on getting the current one going first. I find it hilarious that of the two sequels in the Digimon franchise, both of them were legally streamed before their originals. But at least with Adventure 02, everyone had seen Adventure, albeit in edited form, on TV in the past however long a period of time that was.

Anyway, I'm pretty disappointed that it wasn't anything else. Hopefully a few of the remaining ones find their way onto one of these sites before the season is over.

[WTK]

Not part of the Fall '11 lineup, but I will mentioned it here quick anyways.

CR has added the first six episodes of Queen's Blade (Season 2) (http://www.crunchyroll.com/queens-blade).

Judging by the animation, this is probably not something for me. So I'm probably going to pass on it.
