We god damn better as I'm not using no Daisuke! :p

Well, that's what worries me. Grav has put UK separate from Europe in other posts, often third after US and Canada, where as with IBO its just Europe. Fingers crossed it was a mistake!

EDIT: Wait, scratch that, the first Season 2 episode has appeared in my CR queue. *phew*!

If it makes it easier for everyone:

New Addition = Will be streaming for the UK

Region Restricted = NOT streaming for the UK
 
Wow, Viewster lives. Shame they can't actually be useful and get Kiss Him Not Me and/or Natsume season 5. So annoying having some seasons of Natsume and not others available to us.
 
I'm massively disappointed that the UK isn't included in the regions for Natsume on Crunchyroll. I generally try to avoid reading too much about upcoming shows to avoid this kind of disappointment but it's particularly bad to have the fifth season of a great show restricted. Some people seemed to be suggesting that maybe Anime Limited had licensed the season with a view to making a release of the whole show, that'd be very interesting but I hope that it'll still end up available for streaming at some point either way because it'd be a shame to have to wait ages to see it (and terrible if it was never available here at all).

The fourth season doesn't seem to be available to the UK on Crunchyroll anymore either, which could be another bad sign. I wonder if it could have something to do with the change in circumstances surrounding NIS America but I'm not sure if that'd directly impact the streaming situation.

I was also kind of looking forward to trying Kiss Him, Not Me, so it's a shame that it's also restricted. I have to wonder if it's maybe my fault, most of the few shows I'd been anticipating have ended up region locked.

On the plus side, there do seem to be a fair few shows that might be interesting and at least Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desukara is available.

I had a look into the whole Natsume thing. Season 4 was available for the UK but now Crunchyroll seemed to have updated the page so now it's region locked.

Seasons 1-3 are from TV Tokyo.
Seasons 4-5 are from ADK.
 
Yeah, it really is very strange with the Natsume situation.

Does anyone know what's going on with NIS America? I'd heard rumblings something was up, but wasn't sure exactly what they were.

NIS America are taking a break from acquiring new anime due to the licensing becoming more expensive and the competition getting tough. They're not out of the game just yet.
 
It would be really horrible if someone else got season 5 as it wouldn't match my seasons 1-4 premium sets.

A lot of people were speculating to be Aniplex. While they are involved with the anime they are not fully involved in the production so they won't have the full rights (ADK and TV Tokyo do). A similar example is with Terror in Resonance; they are involved in terms of the music but don't have the full rights (as Fuji CC do).
 
This was Natsume Season 4's Crunchyroll regions until recently:
North America, South America, Central America, Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Portugal, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Turkey.
Now I'm guessing it's:
North America, South America, Central America, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Turkey.
It's missing Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Portugal, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
 
NISA just recently solicited standard Blu-rays of The Eccentric Family and Hanasaku Iroha Part 2 (But not Part 1), so they're still breathing.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe NISA aren't planning on picking up any new anime licenses anymore. So anything new they put out will pretty much just be standard editions of stuff that was previously Premium-only.
