From the initial message in this thread:

That's CR code speak for, "We don't have any signed contracts for anything else, but we are still negotiating".

As for Cardfight!! Vanguard: Asia Circuit Hen, you may want to read this message:

Can you guys work to add AKB0048 to the simulcast?
I would love to watch my AKB48 moe space musical freedom fighter

I really hope Queen's Blade isn't censored. It would be pointless to watch otherwise. It would be better for CR to save its money for other licenses if it can't get the unedited version.

Thank the Lord almighty that CR got Medaka Box! Woo-Hoo!

So glad CR got Medaka Box! Still waiting on the new season for Cardfight! Vanguard, though. And Fate Zero.

CR already has fate zero its listed as a continuing simulcast.

I didn't mention Queen's Blade nor did he I think.

He specifically mentioned Medaka Box, which he apparently already saw (premiered April 5, delayed on CR here) elsewhere.

His original and followup comments go well beyond what simply CR will be streaming to his region. He has every right to have different tastes and to be dissatisfied with the anime industry, just that his criticisms as aired don't make much sense given that's the nature of any media play in any country--to get viewership and pull a profit. More sequels and niche shows are a good thing, but that comes from within a limited pull of funds and airtime the industry has to budget against.



Accurate, and that is where I have a problem with his opinion in extending his tastes of a couple of shows to the overall crappiness of the anime season and possible future/summer season, some things he mentioned in his initial post..



Your comment last night was written clearly, it took a bit to parse but that was because it was late after a boring day for me. In my reply, I was was agreeing with you and pointing out that your analysis was his argument but in the other logical direction, the difference being that you saw the fault while he didn't seem to.

I know, it just doesn't have a time yet.

I'm going to guess that it is the censored version that is going to be simulcast. This looks like a co-op deal with Media Blasters and Media Blasters might upgrade it to the uncensored version for Crunchyroll once they have the DVDs ready. Crunchyroll paying towards Media Blaster's MG for this series helps Media Blasters be able to give this a physical release.

And Crunchyroll doesn't pick and choose what they stream: if it is offered to them at what they can pay, they'll stream it. And they express an interest in every anime that is set to premiere.

Your statement implies that you believe that because CR spent money on the minimum guarantee for Queen's Blade Rebellion, they didn't have the money for something else. That is doubtful.

The show will very likely be profitable for CR, which is a good thing even if you don't intend to watch it.

Since the first season had a 1 week delay, I would assume it's under the same contract since it's on the returning shows list.
So it should probably show up on April 14

I sure hope so.

Cardfight Vanguard has such a huge fanbase on CR, bigger then most their other series, they just assume no one watches it on here? look at all the comments on the last episode of Season 1. I don't watch cardfight vanguard, but so many people liked it on here and now they have to resort to pirating it, cause CR is so fucking lazy.

WHERE IS FATE/ZERO

Not CR's fault. If you bothered to read the post linked regarding Asia Circuit Chapter in this thread, you would know it wasn't CR that didn't get it. It was that Bushiroad didn't think it was worth it.

vietstar889:
Under continuing series most likely. I do believe this is for NEW ACCUSATIONS. CR's rights for ZERO probably work for the second half of the show as well as the first.
