Weird. Why is that listed as a "new" simulcast whereas Fate/Zero is "continuing" despite the fact both are essentially split cour?

Oh well. I'll just list it as CR does.

Are there any other continuing series not already listed in the Continuing shows list up top? I can't think of any. Hopefully the rest of the boxes are all new shows.

Cardfight!! Vanguard (that obscure card game show that .1% of MAL, including myself, watch). The initial 65 episode run is just ending and the sequel starts next season. CR simulcasted it but doesn't have it listed as continuing.

Well Rock Lee was pretty much a given.

Not really anything too surprising yet. I hope they are able to nab at least a few anime that weren't expected.

Is that something an anime mod should really be complaining about? <_<

Though I do agree that some of these names don't need to be the Japanese name, like Space Brothers and that Rock Lee anime.

They seem to be announcing all the titles that are not region restricted outside NA.
I'm expecting that most titles that are left will be mostly NA only.

I didn't support it.

@jmal, I agree that consistency is good to have, but since MAL is an English-speaking site, I've always felt we should go with official English titles where applicable for the database (and romanization otherwise). Things will get tricky at times (titles translated differently for different regions, sequels not licensed, etc.), but I think, with the right set of standards, there would be no issue that would be left uncovered.

And doesn't anyone find it weird how many romanized titles we have while using western name order for characters?

But I digress. This isn't the topic for that stuff, so I'll leave it at that.

Anyway, I originally brought it up because I hate seeing the English title on CR but needing to know the Japanese title both to find it in the database and to add it to the list of relations for the topic (the relations mechanic sucks, by the way), along with putting both titles in the post, etc. In the future I may just put the English titles alone in the OP. It will always be linked, anyway.

I think they should be titled whatever is the general title of something. For example, I'm not seeing anyone call Space Brothers "Uchuu Kyoudai" or however you spell it... so why name it that here? It just causes confusion.

If the main name people call it happens to be original Japanese, then name it that.

I answered that:

Aka the way it is now if an entry doesn't have an official English name of any kind. However:

On topic post, on topic post...Interestingly enough, I don't think I planned on watching any of the currently announced simulcasts...though I might watch Hiiro no Kakera and Ozma.

Hiiro no Kakera's official episode is better than the sneak peak. At least to me it is.

I remember they did an article stating the most watched simulcasts they had from when the first Milky Holmes aired, and it was in last place in terms of hits... so maybe they just didn't bother due to nobody watching it. Saki and Korean Zombie Desk Car might have done better for them.

Well, hopefully my instincts are wrong, because it doesn't really look like something too good. It looks like one of those 3 minute things based on the synopsis (how far can you get with the daily happens in a cafe?), and seems just trying to be random by making it animals instead of humans.

They are full 24 minute episodes, and I think it's going to be 50+ episodes too.

CR didn't stream the first season, did they? That was TAN or whatever. So I can see why it's new.

Oh, good point. Forgot about that.

Anyway... I'm amazed that they've managed to get so few of the shows I want to watch, given that I was looking forward to quite a lot. We need like... 10 more TBA boxes added for me to have any hope of seeing a good chunk of the ones I wanted with the miss rate I've had so far.


Yeah, I was considering resubscribing to Crunchy this season based on what they picked up... but it looks like I've saved 20 dollars. Really lackluster lineup outside of Fate/Zero... and will Fate/Zero even be a simulcast or will it be a week behind like the first season?

Why? I'd much rather watch UTW subs than CR subs on that show.
But If you want to watch it legally then yes, it better be. Well it'll still be region restricted for me so.


Yep, I would rather they don't touch F/Z.

I'm guessing that final box will be Cardfight Vanguard Season 2 that will get announced today or tomorrow. Glad CR got Dusk Maiden of Amnesia though even if it's delayed stream.

Same regions as the last one was.

There's another new box on the spring lineup page, so still one more. If rumours of there being 30 in total are true though then that will be the last one.

EDIT: also, Dusk Maiden of Amnesia is being aired now, so they may well still be simulcast from episode 2 onwards

edit the second: next announcement due later today
