Summer 2016 Legal Anime Streaming Thread: The Backup Cut

Nothing in there I like and haven't already seen, thankfully, but it's always sad to see content leaving the service as it means fewer options for others. Having said that, removing things which are already available for purchase is a lot less damaging than blocking simulcasts in my opinion.

There's some speculation that it's part of a huge push for The Anime Network, which I believe uses Hulu in the US (it may not after Hulu's recent purge), so they should still be available for free in the US.

Same here .
 
I have occasionally thought about going back to finish Mysterious Girlfriend X, but honestly, I'd forgotten CR even had it at this stage. Might be nice if they had some kind of Netflix-style recommendation system to remind you of what's in the catalogue from time to time.
 
It's weird that they didn't warn people. They normally do, so I wonder if these titles came as an unexpected surprise to them or something? Perhaps they were negotiating for renewals and they fell through last minute.
 
I'll have to get Dusk Maiden of Amnesia on DVD now as I love that one, shame MVM never did a BD. :(

It's a shame to see Inu X Boku and Sunday Without God go as well, I liked both and would have rewatched at some point. Definitely echoing what the others are saying in that it's very sad to see Crunchyroll lose so much without any notice, I guess trying to renew them must just have fallen through?

Cowboy Bebop will be heading to Netflix UK on July 1st courtesy of Anime Limited, this marks the first time the show is available for streaming here in the UK.

As a quick reminder, both Death Note and Vampire Knight will be expiring on June 30th.
 
I have to wonder why Crunchyroll did a livestream at 2am in the morning (3am in most of Europe) if they wanted to impress people? Or do they only care about their American customers, I'd never have guessed... /s

Also, no region information makes your announcements bloody useless. Trying to get people excited about series, only to tell them a few weeks later, right as the series is about to begin "sorry, we don't have that for your region" is really, really ******. And I'm fed up of Crunchyroll doing stuff like this, how inconsiderate can their PR team get?
