Weird that they haven't announced the regions yet. They probably have the Nordic countries covered though, seeing that I can access them as well. I wonder if they got the remaining regions for Mitsuboshi Colors?

Streaming times for HIDIVE - no info on regions (though Norway has the shows that are out)

Also Funi got Overlord S2 - https://twitter.com/FUNimation/status/950427001646706688
So most likely it will be on Crunchyroll as well

So where can I legally stream Overlord S2 in USA from? Don't think I saw it on the list.

No sites have announced it yet. Crunchyroll tend to do announcements on broadcast date so I wouldn't be surprised if they held on to it until then. FUNi licensed the first season as well, so I doubt it's going to end up with Sentai and HIDIVE.

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying. I saw that the first episode has been out for a while now so I was a little confused about that. Hoping Crunchyroll gets it. I try to legally stream when I can.

Koi wa, kokkoko and beatless won't be available in English then?

It will most likely be through Amazon Prime Video. They just haven't specified which regions, so it's a bit hard to write anything else than "unlisted territories" since it's most likely not going to be worldwide.
