The show has not streamed on Niconico, yet, for whatever reason. Still waiting for that, since I have a subscription there and not at FUNimation.com.

Yukimura, as hilarious as it would be to hear Greg Ayres take this role, I have to give it to Maxey Whitehead who's good at playing this character.
I'm not sure of the rest, but otherwise, take your bets. |
They're going to give Yuki a female voice, so Greg Ayres is out of the picture.

Its one of the most watched series of the Fall Season in NA. Its hardly niche.

Cool. I liked this show in its subbed version and a Funi dub usually increases my enjoyment of a comedy by a significant factor so I'm laughing. No doubt literally, at some point.

It makes the second article this month that has implied or stated Nico Nico streamed Haganai. It makes me wonder if those who write and edit these articles have even visited the site.

Well, you can't really blame the ANN editors for not bothering with NicoNico to know if its actually there or not. Its streaming service is crap.

The popularity of a streaming title doesn't guarantee it will sell well physically. Also, being watched or not does not change the fact that this is a niche title. It's in the same otaku genre that My Sister Can't Be this Cute was in (and Kirino even makes an appearance in the series). I'm not saying niche is bad, I'm just pointing to a fact. That's all.

Agreed. Him and Ryohei Kimura (Kodaka's JP VA) sound really alike, I was just picturing Todd as Shouma from Mawaru Penguindrum perfectly then moments later I realized that Shouma's voice actor is the same for Kodaka's xD.
EDIT - Also 10 bucks says that Monica Rial is going to play the little nun girl ._.

I'll go hang out with NIS then. Thanks. |
Why? my sister liked this show. Is that any reason why female anime fans can't?

Not only streaming, but its also one of the most talked about shows on anime forums. I guess you're right though... places where its biggest, like /a/, typically aren't buyers so it might not be a big seller.

It's amazing how every licensing announcement is met with more complaints than happiness, regardless of who's licensing it.

Yes that sadly is true. Well I am happy this is getting licensed. I did not finish it while it was airing but I am looking forward to owning in the future (assuming that the world does not end on Dec 22).
