Australia, of course! I was able to see the subbed video that is region locked. Laughing

I've seen very little mecha, but want to check this out as it is from PA Works. I do wonder if PCUSA will end up releasing this on disc. I don't believe there has been news on this...?

Net fix needs to back off from anime! Let Hulu, funimaton, crunchyroll lead!

I have no problem with Netflix picking up more anime, but it'd really be nice if they didn't delaycast it till after the season is over. Though there is almost nothing stopping most people from just finding it elsewhere. I wonder how successful this strategy has been for them. They're doing one every season now, so I can only assume it has been to some extent.

The reason it is delayed like that is because Netflix always waits for a show's season to finish airing before putting episodes up to accommodate binge watchers. The other benefit is that it will most likely come with a dub of the series on netflix, so it will be worth the wait.

Besides, Funimation are the only ones doing broadcast dubs right now, save for Durarara on Crunchyroll. So I think it makes sense to release it that way. I'm a dub fan so I might be biased lol

Netflix and Amazon have far more money than Funi/CR, and Hulu is (almost?) exclusively streaming what others license. Japan is going to give the license to whoever writes the biggest check. Netflix/Amazon aren't going anywhere. This is the new reality.

I understand the reasons behind it, but it doesn't really work with a large part of today's anime watching audience. It's all about simulcasts right now. Making people wait until after the season is over and it's old news while a bunch of new stuff is already coming out is kind of counter-intuitive, in my opinion. The only people this really works well for is the dub watching audience, to be honest. Everyone else just has to wait unnecessarily, or if they aren't morally inclined to, can find it elsewhere on the internet.

The mecha and action scenes are surprisingly well done for such a by-the-numbers premise.

While the majority indeed watch ASAP, I tired of the week wait between episodes long ago, and now wait until a season is concluded or nearly concluded before I start viewing it. The positive is I don't have my viewing pace locked in to an arbitrary rate. The negative is I can't participate in discussions about each episode.

The good about Netflix (and perhaps Amazon) is that it exposes series to people that might have never visited CR, Funimation, etc. If that results in more people becoming interested in anime, it becomes a "floats all boats" scenario.

4 days late is painful but at least it won't be 3 months delay.

The Netflix effect is being felt in Hollywood lately:

Reuters: U.S. TV networks embrace 'binge-watching,' taking cue from Netflix

U.S. networks are changing the way they develop and release new shows, and even commercials, as they seek to adapt to new TV viewing habits and profit from the "binge-watching" made popular by video streaming services like Netflix.

Viacom Inc's TV Land network is developing more serialized programming where the plot unfolds with each episode, and recently changed the storyline of a new show to encourage binging.

Time Warner Inc's Turner Broadcasting System in January launched its new comedy "Angie Tribeca" by airing the entire 10-episode season in a 25-hour "binge-a-thon" on TBS. A third of viewers were new to the network.

TV executives are also working with advertisers to change commercials, so binging viewers stay engaged. Experiments include making brands part of the show on Turner. CBS Corp, meanwhile, is studying whether commercials themselves should be serialized to tell a story.

The changes reflect a realization that fewer people, particularly younger viewers, watch shows when they air and instead binge-watch series like Netflix's "House of Cards" or "Orange is the New Black."

Networks used to cringe at serialized shows because they did not lend themselves well to syndication. Out-of-order reruns can be confusing, so program developers preferred series such as CBS hits "The Big Bang Theory" or "NCIS," which wrap up a story in each episode.

But with the rise of binge-watching, TV networks see a chance to hook viewers through cliffhangers. They make batches of current episodes available on-demand through cable boxes or online apps, and sell them later to the likes of Netflix.

Forty-six percent of millennials - people in the 18-to-34 age group - watch shows after they air, according to media researcher Comscore. And 42 percent of viewers binge-watch multiple episodes of a show, one to two times per month.

"Bingers are super fans," said Jonnie Davis, president of creative affairs for 20th Century Fox TV. "These are the people who go to work the next day and want to talk about the show."

At TV Land, creative and marketing executive Kim Rosenblum said one new show, "Impastor," was rewritten from the pilot to drive the story across episodes and attract binge viewers.

"Instead of it being every episode as a standalone, we added a storyline that was told more episodically as the mystery unravels," she said.

Binging viewers are also less likely to watch ads because most are watching them via their DVRs, which allow them to fast forward past commercials. Forty-three percent of viewers prefer to binge watch shows via their DVRs, compared to only 19 percent who do so through video on demand, according to Comscore.

To address this, Turner is ramping up brand placement in its shows, for example filming a scene of truTV's "The Carbonaro Effect" at Papa John's Pizza, which sponsored the episode. **

CBS is considering adding serialized commercials, to make sure that binge viewers are not exposed to the same ad again and again, and draw them in with a story, said David Poltrack, chief research officer at CBS.

Or Darker than Black. I remember one part where there were three different shots in a scene (from different angles) and they all had a Pizza Hut sign in them.

I'm kinda torn over this simply because Netflix hasn't actually bothered with simulcasting yet and honestly that's the one thing that absolutely infuriates me about them getting exclusive anime streams. Who knows, they might have a delaycast this time around (or at least just the first episode or two then simulcast the rest), but until then, I probably wouldn't be watching it off of Netflix the first time around.
