Crunchyroll Fall '12 Lineup

[Buckeye]

Just as I was thinking would happen, more boxes have appeared on the CR fall simulcast list. There are now three titles that will be revealed soon.

That sure would be a real disaster.

Given recent developments, I'm revising my predictions.

Crunchyroll (14):
Hiiro no Kakera s2
Gintama'
Hayate the Combat Butler -Can't Take My Eyes Off You-
From the New World
Ixion Saga DT
My Little Monster
Blast of Tempest
BTOOOM!
Girls und Panzer
Magi
Medaka Box Abnormal
Student Council's Discretion s2
Aikatsu
Little Busters!*

The Anime Network (3):
Busou Shinki
Chunibyo Demo Koi ga Shitai!
Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb

Viz Media (2-4):
K
Bakuman s3
JoJo's Bizzare Adventure*
Little Busters!*

FUNimation Entertainment (5-7):
Jormungand PERFECT ORDER
Ao Sekai no Chuushin de
Code:Breaker
Psycho-Pass
Robotics;Notes
JoJo's Bizzare Adventure*
Initial D Fifth Stage**

Hate to break it to people, but FUNimation WILL be picking up new shows this season and given how light Sentai and Crunchyroll's intake ended up being, they should be getting a sizable haul. Now again, Warner's involvement in JoJo and Little Busters leads me to believe they will be picked up for streaming here, but the question of where is something that may not be answered for a little while more (though signs don't look good for JoJo on Crunchyroll anymore). Initial D is another complication, seeing as how it's being released as a PPV series. I think FUNimation will eventually get it, at the very least for streaming, but probably not for a few months.

This, please. And we're right down to it, so if Crunchyroll got it and wanted to be on time, it has to be the very next thing they announce.

That sure would be awesome.

I expect that Crunchyroll will pick up a few more contracts, but OTOH they will not be ones a lot of people are hoping for.

I'm inclined to think Funimation got about six.

I'm hoping that noitaminA got split up, in an effort from Fuji's side to hedge their bets, though I don't have any information suggesting it will be.

Obviously they always "want to" stream the first episode at the regular time, but they can't always do so. If a contract does not get signed in time to get materials mastered and subtitled for the regular simulcast slot, they just announce when the first one (or two, or few) will be coming out and when the regular simulcast slot will be, don't they?

And it seems as if sometimes a broadcaster in the pool insists that the international simulcast is after its broadcast. I don't know have the breakdown of satellite stations and regional superstations memories, but ANN links to this as the updated broadcast schedule, and while Tokyo MX, TVK, TV-Aichi and MBS are on the 6th, it goes on AT-X on the 7th and BS11 the 12th, with TV-Achigo and GTX on the 17th.

What about Oniai and Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo? The latter seem Cruncy-ish.

I could see them as potential late Sentai/Crunchyroll announcements. They seem to fit the profile of Nakaimo from last season in a a few ways: seemingly from Media Factory, and got Anime Spotlights on ANN. Then again, Media Factory titles usually tend to be a toss up between Sentai and FUNimation.

I guess I'd still hope for one of them to be a late announcement of Little Busters! that they'd quickly catch up to. For the other one, I guess I wouldn't mind seeing the same for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, or Bakuman. 3 if they could get the first 2.
