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

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.

Huh? Did you just assume that I'm from US? I have enough money for my anime, and I don't nitpick over bullshit like the player or whatever, it's just that CR is my only shot at watching ANYTHING legally, and FUNi is restricted to US.

That's all. I watch when CR has it, and use fansubs for when FUni/Sentai/etc does.

I did not assume you were from the U.S. that is why I said "If you are not able to use Funimation streaming." Do not expect me to endorse pirating, because I will not.

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.

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.

Surprised that Aniplex USA doesn't have Psycho-Pass considering it's an Urobuchi title. I guess the I.G. relationship prevails more.

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

Are these only going to be on their webpage or will they be on their YouTube channel as well? Since their webpage is USA only whereas their YouTube channel is not.

Why would the streaming rights to a song that was a hit in 1971 be a total obstacle? After all, an anime production committee was able to get it for a TV anime. The royalty costs per play would be pretty standard by now.

At Funimation.com they say their webpage, Hulu, Roku channel, Android app, Apple app ... seems like if it was going to be on YouTube, they'd list YouTube as well.

They don't seem to use YouTube for simulcasts anymore. Just trailers and streaming episodes of series when they get their home video release.

For the UK going forward, AnimeOnDemand is the best hope for picking up titles that FUNimation either has English Language Countries rights to or for picking up UK/Ireland rights that FUNimation succeeded in avoiding acquiring.

If AoD were to focus on series that Crunchyroll is locked out out because the North American market has been cherry-picked, it ought to look to include the Nordic countries in its territory, and also ought to be looking for some cooperative venture in Australia/New Zealand.
