Spain missed out on Gintama, but at least they got Bottom Biting Bug!

Heck yeah! I love it when small unknown titles that otherwise wouldn't get subs get simulcasts. It's how I discovered Poyopoyo and Yurumates last season.

...this is it? I don't get it. If this is the last simulcast this season, why did they bother putting up the box and the "10/??" since a series like this is very likely a letdown for everyone. No one would've been dissapointed because no one would've expected anything. I mean, some people were still hoping for Little Busters! and look at this thing Very Happy

So yeah, just wondering what CR is thinking.

Oh wait, the last empty box has been replaced with the drama announced way back.

The fact that they tacked the site announcement of this on the back of a catalog title announcement, combined with the text of the announcement (basically, if you have little kids, or just want to see something really silly) suggests that this was not what they were referring to as something that some people might be excited to see.

Indeed, the timing of the catalog announcements suggested they wanted to kick the can down the road for a week ... with this many niconico.jp streams not yet licensed for streaming in the US, we are either seeing another shift in the streaming license landscape, or else we are either going to see a final few series pop up in the next week or two.

Well, at least CR's proved to the world they really do bid for everything.
