Legal Streaming for Winter 2021 Anime Simulcasts & Catalog Additions

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

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:


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.

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!
 
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.
