Legal Streaming for Winter 2021 Anime Simulcasts & Catalog Additions

[lilitu93]

Makani in the Maiko Lodge is going to be on NHK World, so it probably won't be licensed by anyone else: NHK World Airs Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san Anime in February 2021

No idea if it's going to be subbed or dubbed (and it will hopefully be subbed as the one dubbed thing I saw on there was terrible, but that was that show about the British chef and his family in Japan, and it was dubbed by what sounded like Americans doing bad accents).

You can get NHK World on FreeSat or online, and they usually have catch up streaming, so hopefully the episodes will be up for a bit after they start airing. They have a bunch of apps now including iOS, Android and Roku: Download app | NHK WORLD-JAPAN

Anyone know if Demon Slayer is coming to Netflix UK this month? Or is that just US?

It's showed up on the Netflix UK upcoming list though they redesigned it so that the show page doesn't appear properly recently so I can't check the date.

I think those Cells at Work titles are on today (Thursday) for the premiere only. That's what it sounds like from this:

Funimation Streams Cells at Work!!, Cells at Work! Code Black, The Promised Neverland, Sk8 the Infinity Simulcasts in January 2021

Cells at Work!!, Cells at Work! Code Black to debut 2 days before Japanese premiere

www.animenewsnetwork.com

EDIT: Seems currently Cells at Work isn't available here. Link from Tweet says wrong territory. I assume a mistake.

EDIT EDIT: Yep, it's available now!

Both will be on Saturdays from then on:

はたらく細胞!! - しょぼいカレンダー

はたらく細胞BLACK - しょぼいカレンダー

Similarly The Promised Neverland will be Thursdays from now on. I saw it yesterday on Funimation, but thought it was just them putting up the first season, so didn't realise the first episode was up.

約束のネバーランド(第2期) - しょぼいカレンダー

UPDATE ON WORLD TRIGGER SEASON 2: Crunchyroll will simulcast for Europe. Looks like it was a copy/paste error for the regions.

 

[Ian Wolf]

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters and Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS will be available to stream on Sky Kids.

Yu-Gi-Oh shows reach Sky, AnimeLab

Sky Kids in the UK and Australian and New Zealand streamer AnimeLab have added titles from Konami-owned franchise Yu-Gi-Oh.

Cells at Work: Code Black episodes 3 & 4 will air back to back on Monday the 18th in Japan. Not sure if that affects Funimations streaming or not though:

https://twitter.com/x/status/1348555247287898112

From the TV guide seems some stations are sticking with a normal run (ie 3 next Saturday and 4 the following one) whilst others have episode 5 down for next Saturday after showing the aforementioned double bill on Monday:

[Jon O Fun]

Anybody gonna take a hit for the team and watch all of EX-ARM?

 

[CommanderZx2]

Anybody gonna take a hit for the team and watch all of EX-ARM?

I'll probably end up watching all of it, I have a high tolerance for bad animation/CG. Unlikable characters are far more likely to put me off watching something than how it looks.

 

[D1tchd1gger]

Looking at the link, it is going to go to Netflix.

Yep, just got a notification on the app:

https://www.netflix.com/title/80063153?s=a&trkid=13747225&t=cp

 

[D1tchd1gger]

Cells at Work BLACK. Not sure if that affects Funimations streaming or not

Eps 3 & 4 have indeed appeared on Funimation, 2 days early just like the other episodes.

 

[CommanderZx2]

Eps 3 & 4 have indeed appeared on Funimation, 2 days early just like the other episodes.

Wouldn't watched them now though, they've completely messed the subs timing up.

 

[D1tchd1gger]

Bit of a weird one. I can't remember much censorship and also sounds like it's coming out episode by episode rather than in one go. Maybe they had to wait 3 years for the license to expire for Amazon and instead of waiting till the Spring to release all of it they thought they'd do it like.

KILLING BITES UNCENSORED SINKS ITS TEETH INTO HIDIVE
15 January 2021, 15:41
A little bird told us, under pain of death, to tell you some fantastic news: You can watch Killing Bites uncensored on HIDIVE every Saturday starting January 23, 2020 at 17:00 UTC!

I assume 2020 is a typo unless we're going to get stuck in the worst time loop ever!

 

[Gemsy-chan]

Wouldn't watched them now though, they've completely messed the subs timing up.

The subs on Skate the Infinity episode 2 are out of sync as well.

 

[CommanderZx2]

The subs appear to be fixed now, at least for Cells at Work: Black anyway.

 

[D1tchd1gger]

I had a weird one earlier. I tried to play episode 2 of something, but it played episode 1 with episode 2s subs! Quiting out of the video and starting again from the series page rather than my home page fixed it.
