Oh...

And I'm guessing CR will most likely acquire this also like they did the other summer.

Probably Crunchyroll, Daisuki, Hulu and the fourth one I can't remember right now... Aniplex knows how to share Smile

It's really nice of Aniplex to share this with the many corners of the world, the notion of anime being (legaly) accessible is very fresh.

Fantastic to hear it's going streaming worldwide. Kinda expected since the franchise is huge but welcome news nevertheless.

The Sword Art Online Awards sounds really good as well but just thinking of it there's so many hard choices for those categories mentioned.

Best Male Character and Female Character? Gee, I wonder who will win?

Kirito and Asuna, herp derp.

*sigh* I'd REALLY love it if this show could premiere on Toonami. It still has a chance of happening, but no sign of it. And I'm not slamming the subbed stream/simulcast, I would just love it if it could air slightly earlier to boost the ratings or something (and maybe add another half-hour), in addition to the simulcast.

I heard someone say something like he only thought Space Dandy could premiere on Toonami first because "It'll flop in Japan [which SAO didn't]" although I don't know if that really has been the case for SD.

Hopefully the subs will actually be good.

I'm hoping for a good fansub to do this. Looking forward to their releases.

Agil and Klein do have a good sized fanbase internationally... Sugu seems more popular in doujin releases. Should be interesting though even if the end result will probably be Kirito and Asuna, since we see them the most in the series.

Space Dandy could premiere on Toonami first because Cartoon Network co-funded it.

though the real question is that will Aniplex do the same thing like what Funi did with space dandy and do a simulcast with the english dub and have the dub premiere on Adult Swim?

No it does not have a chance. People need to realize Space Dandy only gets that treatment because Adult Swim can push the "from the creator of Cowboy Bebop, the best anime ever to grace our eyes" angle. Cowboy Bebop has been the life support IV of anime on Adult Swim since Adult Swim was created you can be assured they will push it and give it special treatment. No other anime is getting that treatment and people need to stop hoping for TV simulcast being the norm rather than the one single sole exception due to circumstances. People need to stop thinking this is going to or has a chance of being a recurring thing.

Sword art Online is definitely an anime that could be easily acceptable to those with little or no experience for anime, its also really nostalgic for a couple of us that grew up with mmorpgs back in the day, it really lifts the spirit to know that the second installation would be more easily and legally accessible, I can't wait Very Happy
