Legal Streaming 2019: Q2 Spring Season

Noticed Peace Maker Kurogane movie has been added to Crunchyroll today. At first I thought it was the first of 2 movies but it seems as though Belief & Friend are 2 separate movies and Crunchyroll have combined them?

I reckon they'll get it out on Blu-ray later down the line, perhaps to see if the viewing numbers are strong enough for a collector's edition release.

As an example, Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun started off as a subtitled only release until fan demand came along and it got both a dub and a collector's set.
 
I've done some quick mini-research regarding the upcoming anime titles and their broadcast details. Outside of the obvious one (Carole & Tuesday for Netflix), the rest of the anime all seem to be available normally so I wouldn't worry about titles like Fairy Gone or We Never Learn.

The real interesting curiousity that I have for this Spring are two things; which shows will be exclusive to Funimation, and whether or not we are able to legally stream One Punch Man Season 2. If anyone wants to make some predictions feel free, I'll probably provide my own below.

Didn’t all Sentai shows end up on CR this season. So it does look like some agreement exists I just wonder if they will officially be distributors now. Hope so Cos maybe there will be a good BD release of Bungo s3 then.
 
As mentioned in the News thread, Sentai Filmworks have acquired two of the three Animeism titles airing this Spring; Ao-chan Can't Study and Senryu Girl. They are 15 minute episode shows so it makes sense for the distributor to get both in a bundle. HIDIVE will of course stream the two in regions worldwide outside Asia.

UPDATE: Why the Hell are You Here, Teacher!? has also been picked up for the same regions.

Not that it's a surprise, but I'm glad to see Ace of the Diamond there :)

There's less than 10 shows this season I have any interest in at all, and that may well end up lower after an episode or two. Barring recommendations from others it's not going to be a busy season for me...
 
I just wish Cr altered their websites so whatever Region you were in the simulcast time would go into local time (like each show page does). I need to start catching up again on AoD original.
 
According to Funimation UK's Twitter, Fruits Basket will be here the same day as elsewhere despite not being on the s hedule yet. Wish they'd stop worrying us like that.
