Wow, they got even A-1 Picture and Aniplex titles along with P.A. Works and stuff. Just hope they can keep a consistent schedule as every season, there's delaycast.

Seems like Funi is determined in keeping everything I want to watch unavailable in my region. I already knew about AssClass and Shirayukihime, but Prince of Stride and BokuMachi too? Rolling Eyes Oh well, another season of me getting cozy with my stream rip aggregator site from hell. Yay. At least I can hope to see DRRR on Daisuki

This is actually really impressive. Not sure if I'm happy about it or not, but if nothing else, they are at least streaming legally. It looks like they are getting a little bit more lax on whether or not everything is exclusive to them too. Like Stark700, I'm pretty surprised to see both HaruChika and Grimgar on their list. As well as Erased, which I thought I had heard was going to be a CR exclusive.

So far this is the biggest season I've had for Funimation's service. I'll still be watching Gundam, Erased, and Durarara on Crunchyroll, since I prefer it, but, unless some of those other shows show up elsewhere, I have:

Dimension W
Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash
Pandora of the Crimson Shell
AssClass 2
Dagashi Kashi
Luck and Logic
Haruchika
Heavy Object
and possibly Divine Gate.

Not bad at all Funi. Not bad.

Does Crunchyroll not service your area much? A few of these are most likely not going to be Funi exclusives, by the looks of it. So I wouldn't be surprised if they show up on CR.

The thing is Funi gets simulcast exclusive rights for the American continent, and I happen to be in the part of said continent that Funi has decided not to provide any service to (even if they've been promising to do it for the last two years or so). So even if the show goes to CR (like Prison School or Attack on Titan), it most likely won't be available in my region. The exceptions to this rule are extremely scarce. Even stuff that was supposed to be a global stream like Ninja Slayer and Concrete Revolutio got snubbed by Funi, the former never making it over here and the latter having a delaycast in Daisuki

Oh, okay. I was thinking sort of along the lines of Asterisk War or Iron-blooded Orphans, where Funimation only has a shared streaming license, rather than any kind of exclusive rights, so you can just choose the service you like best(be it Crunchyroll, Daisuke, Hulu, etc.). I know that isn't common, but this season, in particular, there seem to be a few of them.
Anyway, that really sucks. I sympathize greatly. Crying or Very sad

After reading this I just realized how little I care about this season. Like not one of these strikes me as remotely interesting. I miss the Fall season can we go back to the fall season?

Well, there went a good chunk of what I wanted to watch Winter Cour. I just hope that Crunchy can also stream some of them.

I really hope we start to see the decrease of exclusive streaming rights. I have my preferred anime streaming site and I'm always annoyed every season knowing that I'm going to have to settle with the alternative.

Most likely like all previous broadcast dubs. Like 4 to 5 weeks later will the dub be streamed but the sub with be available on the same day.

its better than waiting for almost a year like they are doing Dragon Ball Super, and guess that means no new Fairy Tail in January for me good thing One Piece will have new episodes, with Fairy Tail Zero dub most likely premiering in February and the main show getting new eps in March early 2016 is going to be sweet

Honestly, I might just wait for the dub for most of these shows. Dagashikashi is the only show on that list I especially want to watch in Japanese (If only because I love Ayana Taketatsu) and I guess I don't really have a choice in the matter with HaruChika. But other than that I wouldn't mind waiting a few weeks for dubs.


Still, I'm a bit disappointed because I misread the article and thought Funimation had finally gotten to the point where they could do true simuldubs (a la Space Dandy but in a digital format). Oh well. This is pretty impressive regardless. Also glad that Fairy Tail is getting a broadcast dub even if it's something I saw coming.

While most of what I've seen of Fairy Tail in the Japanese version of the show, I've fallen a bit behind and after meeting Cherami Leigh and Todd Haberkorn earlier this year and hearing them talk so highly about the series I kind of feel like switching back to the dub.
