Kuroko's Basketball. And at least four more.

Yay good news :)

And Phi Brain is back. This is even weirder than Kimi to Boku. The first season of Phi Brain just ended, yet this is somehow a "new" simulcast.

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

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.

Oh, good point. Forgot about that.

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?

Saki is a big deal for me, and I'd stay for the continuing HxH, Fairy Tail and Mouretsu, but most of the new stuff is second tier at best. Uchuu Kyoudai is rather promising, I was looking forward to Sengoku, and I'll try Nyarlko and Upotte. But out of the number of shows they've announced so far, I'm kinda disappointed that that's it, considering previous seasons usually had a higher hit rate for me.

As for Fate, yes, I expect a week delay again. So I doubt I'll be using CR.

At least there's a few more left. One or two more major hits could change my mood a lot. And Hyouka would be a game changer. This is all assuming they translate them in the way I require, if they don't I'll be going elsewhere anyway. But that concern aside, blargh I want more.

Kids on the Slope and Mysterious Girlfriend X added

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

Updated including Tsuritama.

They got some really amazing shows this season so I'll be getting my money's worth out of the membership. So excited for Kids on the Slope!!

I will be watching Uchuu Kyoudai

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia added.

another announcement to come later today, and just 1 more box on the lineup page

Oh good, Tasogare Otome, another one I wanted to watch. So far all of the CR streams I've tried this season meet my standards of tl style and video quality, so I'm optimistic this can be added to the list.

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.

Region restricted. -_-' Well UTW is subbing it.

Queen's Blade: Rebellion added.

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

Medaka Box added. Only available in US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand

Looks like they've finally got everything. For a while it didn't look like they were picking up anything I cared about, but by now there's actually a lot I'd like to watch.

Things definitely took a very very positive turn in the last few days of announcements, for damn sure.

Now to just start hoping they add another box in a week and a half or so and announce Hyouka.
