Following up 2009's Bakemonogatari anime, based on the light novels by NisiOisin, is the sequel series Nisemonogatari, which joins Crunchyroll's growing lineup of winter simulcasts. The hotly anticipated show kicks off on Saturday, January 7, and will stream every week at 9:30 am PST.

 

Nisemonogatari will be available to watch in the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. 

 

 

Licensed from Aniplex of America, Nisemonogatari follows Koyomi Araragi, the third year high school student who survived a vampire attack in Bakemonogatari, only to find himself mixed up with a host of apparitions, from gods, ghouls 'n ghosts, to myths and spirits. This sequel picks up where Bakemonogatari left off, with the psychological twists spiraling ever deeper.

One of the highest anticipated anime this season. Good job CR.

So Black Rock Shooter isn't a highly anticipated anime in the US and the UK? I am convinced otherwise.

I question your reading comprehension. Stark made no comment on BRS one way or another.

Nice pickup. I never saw the first series but I'll be checking this one out. Hopefully it's not completely obtuse and impenetrable without having Bakemono.

If you want to know how big a coup this was for CR, try finding any SHAFT anime that were simulcast in 2010 or 2011.

Holy fu- of the seven Gods! CR picking up a SHAFT title.
Well, that's something I've never thought about.
Not in my region, but whatever, still a nice thing for CR.

i thought that those new contents would be bloacked like in the last Fall Season but luckily 2 new shows weren't blocked :D .. good job CR and plz if u will announce the new Code Geass dont block it :( .
Reply
1/4/12 by Tsubasa_Lover_4Ever
The new Code Geass won't be out until Spring or Summer since a new PV will be released in February in the R2 boxset. Can't wait to see it and I heard they are supposed to announce cast and stuff on January 14th I think.

Hoping they will get it though maybe Bandai can get streaming rights and put it on CR since they said they will distribute anime through digital means starting February.

Amazing news right here. Now I'm also hoping for bakemonogatari to be licensed as well.

I am so happy I am going to cry. If there was only one anime for me to watch this season I'd easily disregard everything else and watch Nisemonogatari.

Whats this?!
A SHAFT anime being picked up for simulcast?

CR, I have never loved you more then I do right now. My money is yours.
Reply
1/3/12 by AoiKaze
Hopefully CR will also get the rights for Bakemonogatari, so I can watch that first before watching Nisemonogatari. =\

Great, Another new anime that I wanted to watch NOT streaming in Latinamerica, hope there's something new this season that streams at least in Mexico.

Any good places to watch Bakemonogatari , the original?
Reply
1/3/12 by toyNN
Not legally. Why Bakemonogatari hasn't been licensed by Funi or Sentei seems a mystery to me. I don't think it will happen but if like with Working!!/Wagnaria!!, CR could get the first season also available (ok that might take a miracle).

I honestly opened a bottle of champagne after reading this.

OK, so I had leftover champagne after New Year's that I was looking for an excuse to drink, but still...this is a pretty good excuse.

What kind of drugs did they feed Shinbo and SHAFT to get this licensed?

This is the most awesome anime news I've heard in a while.

Also, "Koyomi Aragi"? Does Hachikuji work for CR?
Reply

Something like that... corrected.
Reply
1/4/12 by landail
Hopefully this means CR will get licensed to stream Bakemonogatari too (they've usually added the previous seasons/shows when adding later seasons of new IPs... Wagnaria, Hayate no Gotoku, Naruto as some examples)

Great! That series really needs more story, and this'll do it, hopefully. Now, here's to hoping to opening up to more European countries. (specificaly, Denmark)

Don't hold your breath on Another, since it is from Kadokawa.

I wonder if this means they are also getting their hands on Kizumonogatari and Bakemonogatari. Well doesn't matter, this is going to be good.

Now CR needs to get NisiOisin's next anime product Medaka Box...
