Yeah I was actually expecting Funimation or Sentai to get it since it's their sort of thing. Well if it gets adapted well, it'll at least be streaming on a working platform.

Not officially but every time Sentai acquires a show it's automatically coming to HIDIVE. Considering the whole Crunchyroll & Funimation business, I doubt Sentai will make it available on Crunchyroll.
