Sorry Andrew! You know what us Anime fans are like, discovering things earlier than we should haha :3

The series, which will be dubbed into English by FUNimation Entertainment, will be simulcast alongside its Japanese broadcast to a number of countries, and we now fully expect that UK viewers will be able to watch the series on Wakanim, with a DVD and Blu-Ray release to follow later in 2014 - good news indeed for fans of Mr. Watanabe's work!

Cool, No surprises there. Does this mean we can get an English language simulcast too? I'll even put up with Wakanim if we do :p
 
Is anyone honestly surprised? I think we all saw this coming.

Hmm. If Wakanim are simulcasting it, I guess that's me done with subscription CR for the forseeable. I do strongly prefer the streaming model over DTO and I like being able to watch things on my ipad, but if they can't pick up the shows I'm interested in, I don't see any point in paying them just to disable the ads on their back catalogue.
 
I kind of expected this pick-up, but i'm happy either way. It has a huge team for its music, it looks too promising to be true in that respect. Will be on the look-out for kannos pieces amongst it all. Not sure which iteration i'll stick to either, but i feel i may go with japanese to start.
