So they're getting at least one noitaminA show this season. I actually don't have any interest in this one, but I'm glad to see the block continue to get simulcast support, although I kind of wish FUNimation would have kept getting both halves of the block each season, since they license most of the ones they simulcast.

looks like they got 11 titles to announce for streaming for the summer season.

That sounds about right. More would be nice, but that seems like the normal percentage.

I'm surprised they only announced 3 so far. I'll definitely be watching Kamisama Dolls and at least checking out Yuruyuri. I'll probably pass on Natsume since I didn't like the first two seasons that much.

I'm not. The ideal for a site like Crunchyroll would be to have people checking them out to see what the day's announcement is, and add to the conversation and buzz then staying to watch what had premiered that day, and people coming to see what had premiered that day, and then staying to check up that day's announcement, and add to the convo and buzz. And keep that up and running through the premier period.

Glitches, delays in licensing, people engaged in website forensics and plain old leaks have prevented them from entirely pulling that off so far, but that is clearly what they are aiming at: instead of getting as much buzz with 12 announcements as someone else gets with 3, trying to get four times the buzz with 12 announcements as someone else gets with 3.
