Yeah, it did turn out better than I expected. Kinda disappointed Medaka Box is a week late, but oh well.

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.

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

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

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

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

Apr 9, 2012 11:18 AM by Sir_Lexa

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.

I will be watching Uchuu Kyoudai

Apr 7, 2012 11:19 PM by GodlyKyon

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!!

Apr 7, 2012 10:33 PM by Disapparate

Updated including Tsuritama.

they better anounce the second season of fate/zero

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.

Kids on the Slope and Mysterious Girlfriend X added

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.

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?

Oh, good point. Forgot about that.

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.

WHAT? Shirokuma Café is going to be off the charts on the awesomness scale.
