9 open slots, wonder what they will be...
Hoping they include: MAO, Ace of Diamond Act II S2 & Kill Ao.

Just a 'FYI" the two shows on the 31st are early streams, the 2nd episode and beyond will air on Saturday/Sunday.

they'll most likely get Akane-banashi but I'm not sure if they'll also get Rilakkuma despite it being an Aniplex show

I’m assuming MAO will be on Netflix or Hulu/Disney+. I don’t think CR has any of Rumiko Takahashi’s shows.

Doesn't seem likely for Netflix or Amazon since this was licensed by Medialink in SE Asian territories and Netflix and Amazon 99% of time gets the worldwide license. I don't think Viz has the license to this either because they usually license titles way in advance and make their announcements of which platform it'll be on but have not done so with this show.

Through process of elimination, CR has most likely picked it up but we'll see when CR makes their second wave of announcement in 7-10 days.

It's a Sunrise/BNF production and being broadcast on NHK-G so there's a chance it's on CR.

Hoping Yuusha no Rokkotsu is licensed, it looks like a fever dream.

Did they release this lineup way later than they usually do or am I just imagining things?

I'm imagining Dorohedoro s2 is still being dubbed even though Crunchyroll doesn't list a dub and either the dub will be exclusive to Netflix or this is just the usual thing where Crunchyroll doesn't include dubs they don't personally produce in their announcement lineups for whatever reason.

It's not exclusively on YouTube.

Ok but why would you want it to be on a service you have to pay for when you can just watch it on a free service?

Because that Youtube is geoblocked outside the Americas. And I am told people overseas do like anime, too

They did. I've been checking regularly since I wanted to know what it was, and people on Reddit were wondering too. Apparently last year they had announced it mid March, so four days before the new season starts is pretty late.
