Awesome, don't have to wait on Crunchyroll for Psycho-Pass.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty much a given once the Yes song was announced to be the ED that it wouldn't be simulcast. Getting the rights to a hit song like that would probably cost more for Funi or Crunchy than the anime itself. |

Gaaaah. Several shows I was looking forward to but I can't justify a second simultaneous streaming service. Maybe once Space Brothers ends I'll switch over for a little while. Definitely wanted to see Robotics;Notes and Psycho-Pass.

Hopefully there's a chance of them going up on Funimation's Youtube and being unlocked to us. |

I'd have preferred a crunchyroll simulcast, but this is better than nothing, and at least this time the episodes are going to be out in a somewhat timely fashion, especially compared to what is so often the case with Funimation "simul"casts.

Videos on their site are available in Canada - it should switch to their own player rather than Hulu. If you can't view videos it is due to a bug that is currently being worked on. |

Same here. The illegal site I went to see Kamisama had really low resolution. Plus, I have a Funi account so yay!! Maybe I'm speculating but I think it was smart for Funi to get Kamisama Kiss (same director of both Fruits Basket & Kodocha = Funi titles) and Robotics;Notes (they already have Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate). I would love to own a box set of Psycho-Pass but I haven't even seen it yet. |

Well, I guess I will have to settle for fansubs then. Way to go FUni, increasing the piracy more and more every season!

Good to know I'll have a place to watch Kamisama Kiss. Though unfortunately the other shows hold no value for me.

Wow, Funi's loaded this time for me. Code:Breaker, Psycho-Pass, Robotics;Notes and more Jormungand are some of my most anticipated stuff this season
So excited for Psycho-Pass especially. Good job by them. Good to know these also have a real good chance of getting dual-audio home releases too. |

Have a feeling Kamisama Kiss should do quite well for Funimation. The gist of their marketing campaign just needs to be "From the Director of Fruits Basket," and BAM, success... assuming Furuba still has a lot of staying power in today's market.
Ooh, and Psycho Pass! I wonder, is it just Gen Urobuchi that's going to be writing this, or might there be others involved? It's been my understanding that before Madoka, others were involved with the active writing of any of the anime that his name was attached to, and those shows were lesser for it. Hopefully things should work out well for the series either way... |

Fine, I guess I'll put up with your player, FUNI. Psycho-pass seems like it would fit in Funimation's catalog anyway. |

You guys realize they don't *have* to use the ending for the simulcast, right? They could always just get the rights to the song later if they choose to release the series on disc. Also, the source of most of the music rights is also a member of the production committee so the rights might just be mixed in. |

What a moronic comment. This sounds like an excuse to use pirated fansubs sites. If you are not able to use Funimation streaming or do not like its player, just don't watch those series. If you want to use pirated fansubs, go ahead. But do not blame a company for piracy. I have used pirated fansubs sites before. I am not proud of it, but the only one I can blame is myself. Sorry if I sound preachy, but I believe that pirated anime would not exist (or at least not be as prevalent), if we did not seek it in the first place. |
