It is still possible that another site will have it for UK/Aussies.

THIS. Nice to see Crunchyroll realised that it's not really worldwide...

Also, apparently Black Rock Shooter didn't work with Anime On Demand's strategy...

My God I love you!! That freshar80 person needs to get over themselves. Because in the end they're the ones that look stupid, not the person who asked the question in the first place.

Think of it as a Japanese YouTube.

That's pretty cool news. I'm really hoping someone here in the states will grab the distribution rights and we'll get a physical release sometime in the future. I also hope the OVA is grabbed too.

so... ''worldwide'', heh? what 'bout Poland?...
Reply

Oh well, us British people seem to think we're on a different planet half the time anyway. :P

Anyway, may have to find 'other' ways of watching this...

Lol apparently they aren't streaming it in Japanese either =P
Reply

That's because they will broadcast it in Japan..
Reply

It's being streamed within Japan too (without subs). Just didn't include it.

American so I get it, heh heh.... Sorry. I haven't tried NicoNicoDouga's streams but NicoNico's are okay if I can buffer them. I really hope I can buffer this.

Great, the Dutch can't see it then.
Would be nice if it could come on here so that it's really worldwide.

Maybe CR will get this since they got Fate/Zero too?

Also I tried streaming on NicoNico Douga and Fate/Zero's quality was horrendous. I hope Crunchyroll gets this even if it will be delayed one week behind NicoNico Douga simlucast.
Reply

Likewise, I am hoping CR gets this as well, even with a week delay.

If it followed the same pattern at Fate/Zero, we could expect CR to announce about the middle of next week (i.e., January 31 - February 1).
Reply
1/27/12 by TheAncientOne
CORRECTION: Actually, I would expect any announcement by CR to be the week *after* the first episode was streamed on niconico.jp, which would put it around February 7-8.

duh, the plot summary on the nico nico page in german is already ... not nice translated imho.

duh, will either need to try get the english version with a proxy or watch funsubs nevertheless.
is it that hard to get a good translater? :S

So I can't use English subtitles even though I'm in, say, Italy?
Reply

Worldwide eh? What about Antarctica?

On a serious note: Are they really calling it "black rock shooter on tv" because thats like calling the video game "black rock shooter the game"

oh wait...

The title is really redundant if you catch my drift.... >.>;
