This isn't surprising. Sentai said at one point last year that Aniplex wasn't licensing anything out anymore, so it would make sense that it would extend to expiring shows here in the west as well. Unless an R1 has some clause in their contract giving them first chance to renew a contract, they probably won't be able to keep the shows. And even then, it would be unlikely that Funimation or Sentai would be willing to spend money to fight for the contract legally. Even if they wanted to, I don't think either would want to damage relationships with a significant producer of anime.

Just a reminder, everyone: Baccano officially expires TOMORROW.

If you haven't watched it yet, do it NOW.


EDIT: It's gone. Crying or Very sad
