Animation studio Gonzo have announced that the next anime to be subtitled and released onto the internet just hours after its Japanese television broadcast will be their new (fan-service friendly action series) <strong>Strike Witches</strong>. The first episode will be premiering in Japan on July 4th and is expected to appear subtitled (legally) and <a href="http://www.crunchyroll.com/">completely free on the video streaming website Crunchyroll.com soon after</a>. This follows on from their still-airing horror action anime "Blassreiter" and their recently concluded first season of the fantasy action/comedy "The Tower of Druaga: the Aegis of Uruk" (a second season called "The Tower of Druaga: the Sword of Uruk" was announced earlier this week).
 
Can't say I personally care for watching anime on services such as Youtube and Crunchyroll; but I'll take the stance that another source of revenue for Gonzo is a good thing.

I still think the next step they should take is simultaneous physical media distribution.
 
I loved the tower and I'm definitely buying that. I know, I'm a sucker for medieval fantasy in general, but I'm really looking forward to the second series =D
I do think that that's the way to go!!! After all, japanese are really into anime, because they have free sample on TV most of the time.
I think that the more people are able to sample, the better.
 
I would of liked the tower better if it didn't pull off such a ******** series extender at the end.

But the idea of (gasp) a world wide (minus japan cuz they have thier own thing) simmulatanous release idea is a lot better than what most companies put to the table (Hey, Toei, I want to buy Fist of the North Star, but you won't let me! Maybe I should just download the fansubs instead!!)
