Funimation ("You Should Be Watching")

We're not talking about Tatum, we're talking about Vic! I doubt anyone is making a fuss about Tatum's sexual orientation!

Regardless, you said something that was technically not true, and I corrected you.

Internet people are talking about Vic and his bible-thumping homophobic ways again?

Let's let Vic talk about his bible-thumping homophobic ways.

I have a new respect for him after seeing that.

Brothers Conflict is getting a dub.

The upside-down guy at the top looks like the one dude from Arc Rise Fantasia.

Unbreakable Machine-Doll cast.

This is an anime I never heard of before. I usually hear at least the TITLE of one before any dub is announced.

The Winter simulcast announcements are underway, starting with one of the most anticipated!

I have NEVER heard of this anime.

But I adore the marketing these guys are doing!

I just got my DVD of Kamisama Kiss!

Damn, that dub is awesome.

Gotta check that out.

Grrr too many dubs I need to watch, so little time and money.

Simulcast updates — Second seasons for Tokyo Ghoul and Kamisama Kiss (Fafner Exodus will probably gets its own update), Rolling Girls, and apparently today's announcement is Death Parade.

Video rights for Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha were also announced, but it's gonna be sub-only. :(

I still gotta check out Kamisama Kiss's first season. Also, Rolling Girls looks interesting.

Rest of the simulcasts (except for two, one of which I'm suspecting is Fafner Exodus): Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!, Samurai Warriors, World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman, Absolute Duo and Yurikuma Arashi(!).

I haven't heard of MOST of these! And I follow an anime blog that covers a TON of stuff every season.

The last two simulcasts are Maria the Virgin Witch and Yatterman Night. Guess Fafner will be an Aquarion EVOL situation — it'll likely be announced right as it finishes its run.

Crunchyroll has Fafner which raises some questions.

Funi launched SubPass, a new Sub-only subscription.

And are now planning to expand beyond the USA and Canada.

I think they're working on being the leading simulcaster.

They showed signs of that for a long time.

... my beef with all dubbing companies is that why do they insist on gaining the majority of their revenue from DV Ds, when DV Ds are now seen as outdated? It's been that way for years. I think this is a step in Funimation trying to gain more money from online streaming.

Oh please let's hope Sentai doesn't follow suit and begins to simulcast.

Why wouldn't they? Why would that be a bad thing?

I have only so many bucks to spend on suscriptions to Chinese cartoon services.

Sentai tried the simulcasting thing with the occasional exclusive like Penguindrum and Sasami-san @ Ganbarai, but I got the impression that basically no one watched the exclusive streams anywhere near as much as the ones they shared with Crunchyroll.

Viz is the really crappy one since they've made absolutely no effort to simulcast to Canada since they exclusively use Hulu.

Neon Alley is the REAL failed experiment.
