That sucks. Based on what I think of the first episode (not even the first two like usual; what the hell?) and what others think of the rest, I may end up having to get a premium subscription to TAN. I hate to pay for their terrible player and delay-casts, though.

Well, since I'm assuming From the New World and BTooom! have been confirmed to be streaming on Crunchyroll, I think it's a safe bet Medaka Box Abnormal and Girls und Panzer will follow suit. Also I think it's a safe bet that they also picked up Student Council's Discretion s2 since they have the first season as well. That leaves but one slot, which I'm betting will end up being Code:Breaker.

I sure hope more boxes are added.

"Just waiting for the Little Busters! (oh yeah... yeah yeah yeah!)"

And both noitaminA. Yeah, they really need to add more more boxes.

Unfortunately, they'll probably be FUNi if anything. But LB!... I really don't know what to think since Sentai hasn't even gotten it with everything else they got. That makes me think the worst.

I remember watching a few episodes of Persona 4 that were HD TAN rips and the video quality wasn't bad for 720p streaming (I would have to assume that subscribers get access to the HD streams). Their SD streaming is pretty bad, though.

At this point, I get the feeling the final lineup for each distributor will be as follows:

Crunchyroll (12):
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!
Medaka Box Abnormal
Girls und Panzer
Student Council's Discretion s2
Code:Breaker or Aikatsu

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

Viz Media (1-3):
K
JoJo's Bizzare Adventure*
Little Busters!*

FUNimation Entertainment (5-7):
Jormungand PERFECT ORDER
Magi
Robotics;Notes
Psycho-Pass
Initial D Fifth Stage
JoJo's Bizzare Adventure*
Little Busters!*

I'm pretty confident about everything except for JoJo and Little Busters. Warner Bros is the X factor in them both, I'm 99.9% sure they'll both be picked up but the 'who' factor is still uncertain for me.

Initial D Fifth Stage

Magi is another possibility for Viz Media as well considering it's getting a simulcast in France via Kazé France.

Initial D Fifth Stage is different than the rest of the listed series here. It will be shown in Japan via Animax Pay Per View. This will probably diminish any chance of a "simulcast" here.

Oh. Did not know that about Magi. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Also, figured Initial D would end up becoming an 'after the fact' kind of stream similar to what should be happening to Aquarion EVOL here soon (except minus the full license unless Animax puts pressure on them to do so).

If that were true, Fall '12 would be confirmed for worst streaming season ever.
