Correction on the UK & Ireland streaming regions:
Only Love Live! Sunshine and One Piece will not be available. The rest are.
Funimation UK Summer 2016 Blogpost

On another note, why on earth would Funimation acquire D.Gray-man Hallow? For starters they dropped the show after the first 51 episodes (out of 103) and Hallow requires knowledge of all 103 episodes because it's a continuation. I don't get it.

Nice about Hallow but wasn't it that Funimation only licensed the first "stage"?

Also, is Zestiria an adaptation of the video game? I can't play the game due to economical reasons but if it's an adaptation, I'll watch it. Cool

Sunshine, Danganronpa 3 and Tales of Zestiria anime!! Fantastic news! With Love Live and Danganronpa's popularity both should get dubbed and ToZ's video game and movie was dubbed so hopefully the anime will as well. Just need more info on if Funimation just has the streaming right or both streaming/home video rights because the latter is whats more important to me. Great start for Funimation though looking forward to see what else Anime smile

I don't care who has legal streaming rights to Love Live Sunshine I was late to the party on Love Live School Idol Project but not with Sunshine I am going to love this so far Sunshine, Berserk, and Orange are the only shows I am watching this Summer and all those got legal streaming so I'm all good.

Talk about a lackluster line-up. Only a couple things interest me, but they're available elsewhere so no worries for me. Tales of is going to be on Daiksuki without delay, so they don't have a monopoly on that title and I highly doubt that CR won't be getting the second season Boueibu so I ain't worrying about that. Only weird thing is why Love Live! Sunshine!!, but I doubt that they'll get that exclusively either. As long as they stay away from DAYS and Cheer Danshi!! I'll be good.

Pretty dull line-up of shows. They haven't been on their A-game these last two seasons.

They won't get the last two, because Crunchyroll already has them. But they probably will get Arslan.

Have they implemented the new player yet? Have they figure out how to use soft subs yet? Have they figured out how to encode with the proper color range yet?

Aside from Love-Live! Sunshine!!, this is an underwhelming new batch of simulcasts. I also wonder if the addition of Dr. Gray-man means that Funimation is dubbing and releasing all of the old series; I certainly will be interested.

And I wonder if Love Live! Sunshine!! going to Funimation means that NIS America is out of anime publishing. If true, that would be a real shame.

Well, maybe they'll announce later on that they're going to pick up the second half of the first anime. You never know. And until then they'll just assume that anyone still into D.Gray-man is reading the manga and/or watched fansubs of the second half of the anime, and thus has the context to watch.

Or possibly they just don't care. That's always a strong possibility.

What...? The game was on sale for 24.99 last month on Steam. Unless you're buying a bunch of other games, that's not bad at all.


And yes, as far as all the info and videos we've gotten, it is based on the game. Enjoy. A lot of people don't like the story..I personally thought it was good. Anime is also by ufotable so it will be freaking gorgeous.


Regalia: The Three Sacred Stars, being made by the studio that did Girls un Panzer and having cute girls in mecha..sounds very promising to me lol

D.Grayman was an expected casualty, but still frustrating to see. Boueibu's probably gonna be on CR too. What pisses me off is Tales. I'm not even that excited about it, but I thought it would be a worldwide Daisuki simulcast like all the latest ufotable shows have been. But no Funi just HAD to go get their stupid continental rights, leaving all of us south of the border with a delaycast and no subs in our own language. Lovely as ever. They did the same bullshit with Concrete Revolutio and I'm sick of it. With the exception of IBO, OPM and DRRR! all the shows that have gone to Daisuki in the last two seasons have been Funi exclusives with delaycast. I like Daisuki. The player might be terrible and the quality certainly wasn't the best, but it's a free legal service. I'd watch everything on Daisuki if they simulcasted it. Thanks for nothing as usual, Funi.
