Huh, so this time instead of streaming the first episode from the third volume, they're doing the final episode. Makes a little bit of sense.

I'd better not miss this one, like I did the last two.

Aww, pooh... I was actually hoping to see them air the 9th episode dubbed, streamed. Been wanting to see the series in its original broadcast order, and thus despite my having the means to do so already, I haven't watched beyond episode 8.

If I want to keep that self-imposed requirement up, and Volume 3 doesn't arrive before the 8th, I guess I'll have to make a Nico Nico time-shift reservation. Or simply miss it, and whatever comments /a/ members decide to troll the video with.

I wonder what reason they have for showing the last episode instead of episode 9. Maybe they want to showcase how the dub got better? In any case I'm definitely checking it out.

^ Eh, it's probably because the notion of a dubbed final episode will get more people excited, and thus more viewers, than an episode from the 2/3-3/4 point of the series. Having the final episode aired dubbed kinda has a more conclusive note I think as well fro AU's efforts. Because after the marketing fury around the final LE set... bsides future con-guest appearances, and some merchandising here and there, the next time we'll probably hear a lot from Aniplex USA re: Madoka will be with those movies.

Doubt there's some standard of acting quality going on here that episode 12 lived up to that 9 didn't and thus didn't make the cut.
