As expected, the week has ended with a bang from new UK-centric streaming anime outfit Anime on Demand, with the announcement of three new streaming licenses from Japan's spring 2011 line-up:
- First out of the bag, as anticipated earlier this week, is Steins;Gate, the spiritual successor to late 2008's Chaos;Head and an adaptation of Nitroplus and 5pb's second visual novel outing. The series is set in the Akihabara of summer 2010 amidst a group of friend who have somehow adapted their microwave so that it can send text messages into the past, leading to them attracting their interest of a nefarious group named SERN who have been doing time travel research of their own.
The series will be broadcast over twenty-four episodes, and thus will be streamed on Anime on Demand across their spring and summer seasons.
- Next up we have is the twenty-six episode series Nichijou, Kyoto Animation's slightly surreal comedy manga adaptation which is also streaming under the name of My Ordinary Life via Crunchyroll.
- Finally we have Deadman Wonderland, another series also announced by Crunchyroll already. This spring season anime explores a future Tokyo in the aftermath of a massive earthquake that has left it in ruins via Ganta, a boy sentenced to death but allowed to roam within the video game-esque world presented to him in the form of the Deadman Wonderland prison. Can Ganta prove his innocence from the mass murder of which he's been accused?
