hi guys,

more great news about some new stuff coming out in a couple weeks:
Crunchyroll is going to simulcast 2 brand new anime series from gonzo,
The Tower of DRUAGA -the Aegis of URUK- and BLASSREITER, the same day it airs in Japan!

The Tower of DRUAGA -the Aegis of URUK- premieres on April 4th and is directed by Koichi Chigira, who also directed some of my favorites like Full Metal Panic! and Last Exile!
BLASSREITER premieres on April 5th and is directed by Ichiro Itano, who's worked on Gantz and Macross Zero!

The best part is the streaming will stay FREE and any ads on it will help pay for the costs and go back to the creators too! There will also be a lot of other cool stuff i can't talk about yet ^_^

Update: Yup, it'll be subtitled.

The Tower of DRUAGA -the Aegis of URUK-
To premiere on Crunchyroll on April 4th!



BLASSREITER
To premiere on Crunchyroll on April 5th!

Cool ^^ Nice work Shinji
One thing, what happened to the manga section? Every time I go there, it says:
Coming soon... the Crunchyroll Fan-Manga/Dojin Section!
Did I miss something?

Awesome, looking forward to it, though I will already be in Japan, so I could probably watch it there.

:O It'll be here on the same day it airs in Japan...

Yay! Sounds awesome! =D

awesome! thanks shinji for all the work, i think its genius to cooperate with them. =]

aww yeah sweet thanks shinji and also Gonzo......they are soo cool to be all positive about this site....i read in a articale about bandai and funamation bitching about CR and saying it might be the end for anime in the West or sumtin like that. Glad to see Gonzo is seeing the good in the site, Thanks for the anime Gonzo and CR staff.....they look sweet.

does it include subs?

Nice! can't wait until it comes out

Yap, I read about it on animenewsnetwork yesterday, I think youtube and BOST are also involved in the project if I'm not wrong.

will it be subbed??

It probably won't most of the time they do not do subtitling till the series goes to DVD. The only subtitling would be by Fan subs and since this is a legit release showing the same day it releases in Japan. I'm guessing it'll be Raw because there will not be time for anyone to subtitle it. Though subtitles will be nice when they do come out. My Japanese isn't that great.

Coooool i cant wait to see on cr, it looks kind of nice/cool...--->

Read the ANN link that i provided, it is subbed with english subtitles.

yep read it right after I posted. That definitely makes it more attractive.
