Spring Streaming Announcements

As long as they stream to us that which Crunchyroll have blocked this season, I'm happy. Which is Snafu, Photo Kano, Arata, and given Kaze and Samurai Girls, a heavily censored Samurai Bride is likely too.

Little Witch Academia - Little Witch Academia

Akko fell in love with magic ever since her childhood days. Aspiring to become a witch like the one she saw at a magic show, Akko enrolls in Luna Nova - a prestigious witch academy. Contrary to Akko's expectations, the class is unexpectedly boring. Struggling with the unimaginative atmosphere of the academy, Akko tries to retain hopes and dreams in magic once again. Sadly, the reactions from her peers remain indifferent. Akko’s only supporters are her best friend Lotte and Sucy, but her adventurous spirit remained unsatisfied. Then one fateful day, something unthinkable happens. The academy faces a huge crisis and is at the brink of destruction. Now it is up to Akko and her friends to save the day! !/quote]

It's on Youtube too as previously noted.
 
I can announce with great fanfare and Razamatazz...


that Anime on Delay quietly snuck out two more episodes...

Red Data Girl, and Date a Live are their other two new series this season.

Surprised at no Samurai Bride. I thought that was a Khazi shoo-in
 
Oo, I'll put my pitchforks away and watch Red Data Girl...and I guess it's Arata Kangatari this time which sinks into the mysterious unexplained void between the continents, along with Samurai Bride.

(And indeed, this habit they have of not telling anyone about their service is baffling. I can't imagine how they plan to tempt the people who started these shows when they actually began away from illegal sources when there's no way they'd ever find out the legal source exists like this.)

I'll give them till I'm finished my exams for the summer and see if they have actually caught up with RDG. If they have, I'll watch it there. If not, I'll be sticking with the fansubs.
 
Well it's certainly a long time left to wait for the next episodes. I would rather watch via other means than wait till 2019.
 
Back Catalogue shenanigans at CR

Hey everyone,

lugiamania here with another catalog announcement today! As promised, we will finally be launching the first season of the fabulous Uta no Prince Sama series! We will be releasing 3-4 episodes each week, at the same time that Uta no Prince Sama 2 launches, which is Wednesdays at 11:05am Pacific Time.

Uta no Prince Sama 1 will have the same territories as Uta no Prince Sama 2: USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Netherlands, and Scandinavia.

For those of you waiting for the first season to start before watching season 2, wait no more!

When Haruka gets the chance to take the entrance exam for Saotome Academy for the Performing Arts, it seems as though she's one step closer to her dream of composing songs for her favorite singer, Hayato. However, this is no gleeful high school musical experience, and Haruka's hiding a dreadful secret that may silence her musical ambitions forever. And even if she does get into Saotome, the competition will be more brutal than going on Japan's Top Idol! That's because, as a writer, Haruka could be paired with any one of six radically different male singers. Will it be upbeat Otoya, serious Masato, flirtatious Ren, split-personality Natsuki, optimistic Syo, or the unapproachable Tokiya, who's rumored to be Hayato's brother? And just to make things more complicated and awkward, writers and singers are expressly NOT allowed to become romantically involved! Can one girl and six handsome young men learn to make beautiful music together in a strictly Platonic sense? They can if the oddball staff of Saotome, most of whom are current and former idols themselves, have anything to say about it in Uta no Prince Sama!

Interesting, I'd forgotten about CR's work on their back catalog until I saw that they'd added a few shows over this past weekend or so. Definitely good to see them chasing up first seasons of shows they've been simulcasting the later episodes of.
 
Not an announcement, but just posting to say that, after uploading 3 episodes in 3.5 weeks, Anime on Demand has now uploaded another 11 episodes at once.
 
Is this a summer announcement, or is it still spring?
