It streams late on Saturdays, so this would be a good addition to my Long Show Sunday with Fairy Tail and HxH (and until recently Bakuman, but that's done again until Fall.)

Well, you definitely made me change my mind here! I will watch this and with interest! Should read more about what it is before taking a decision if I watch it or not. Thank you!

I don't really know anything about it either, other than the synopsis on MAL. It seems pretty realistic, with the only thing that sounded potentially odd being that the brothers were inspired to go into space after seeing what they thought was a UFO. Hopefully it avoids aliens and stuff... I just want some good realistic close-to-modern-day (it seems to take place in 2025) space technology stuff.

Well, yeah, I think the last one I watch which was more realistic was Planetes, which take place in 2075, so this one is even more close-to-modern-day. Yeah, it's definitive, added to my schedule!

Sounds like an interesting title. I'll make a note to visit this show at some point, though I have no plans to follow the simulcast at the moment.

I wonder why this one got an announcement while Fate/Zero was just prelisted as continuing.

I get the impression that the impression that "continuing" mostly means "streaming on the same license as before" and "new" means "had to sign a new license for this one". (Except maybe for the short anime, to avoid the howls of outrage if a [?] box is filled in with a "sequel" to a 3 minute / episode anime they already had.)

If that's roughly how they slot them in, it could be the Kimi to Boku production committee agreement was originally written in terms of a single broadcast season, and they just decided early on in the process to add a second season. Even if it was on the same terms as the first, it would be a distinct production committee agreement and so a distinct license.

Sure, but we commoners on the outside of the process don't see any of that and thus don't really care. Unless they literally signed the Kimi to Boku. 2 contract last night, they ought to have just been consistent and put it up top (or, announced both in the ? boxes down bottom).

At least it doesn't look like any other remaining boxes should be returning shows. I don't think they had anything else split cour, and Fate/Recorder are already listed s continuing.

Get Hyouka and give it a good TL damnit, CR.

Well, that was pretty much expected. No surprise here. Since I watch the first season, I'll watch this one as well... Not a lot of expectation for this though.
