Well, it isn't as if they declared these will be the only Fall anime they will be streaming. Personally, I will hold out hope for Index II to stream until around Thanksgiving. I was a bit disappointed they did not also announce a stream for the first Sora no Otoshimono series, as well, but that too, could come a bit later. |

I believe you're using sarcastic hyperbole for effect, but to avoid the slandering of Strike Witches I would like to point out that for females, puberty begins "around 10 or 11 years of age" (1) and the ages of the 11-character main cast of Strike Witches are: 19, 18, 18, 16, 16, 15, 15, 15, 15, 14, 12 Which would preclude the possibility of a "pre-adolescent" character and make the average character age 16 (rounding). I know that you probably don't care about the facts, but I just wanted to clear up any aspersions that Strike Witches is purely a "lolicon show" or something. Also, I believe it has a lot of depth and emotional substance beneath its fanservice veneer. (1) http://www.pamf.org/teen/parents/health/growth-11-14.html |

Exactly! People who think Funi's lost it needs to watch something like that show. The second i was done watching it... I applauded. Then I remembered: oh wow! Greg Ayers and Brina Palencia are voicing the leads??! Yep... Funi still knows what they're doing... (I wanna get Oh! Edo Rocket now!!!) |

I'm really jazzed you got Kuragehime. I can't believe anyone would call that series weak; the series had the strongest first episode this season IMHO. I'm so glad you will get both 1 and 2 up for streaming tommorow so I don't have to settle for the glotchy keyhole streams.
I heard the other series was good as ecchi goes; not sure if I will watch it I have one life. |

As for my thoughts, I'm thrilled about Kuragehime, I think it was the best show of the new season and really unique. Madman tends to license things that Funimation gets so I'll be glad if I can get this in Australia too. If not I'll just import. haven't the slightest idea why someone made an anti-moe remark early in the thread though. |

Is anyone aware whether Kuragehime will be placed on Funi's Youtube channel, so people outside the United States can watch it? There is no ad for it on their Youtube channel which is what they did for House of Five Leaves and Tatami Galaxy two seasons ago as well as the live-action Moyashimon last season. Also, and forgive me for bringing this up, but does anyone know why Shiki has yet to be posted on Funi's Youtube channel even though the series has already passed the half-way point in its run? All of the shows streaming on Funi's website, from the noitaminA block, use Hulu which does not stream where I live.
Edit: And for the people who said that the simulcasted noitanminA titles are unlikely to be released by Funimation, I would like to point out that they did release Baccano! and Eden of the East neither of which I believe was a smash hit in North America (though correct me if I'm wrong and I really hope I am). |

The mystery though is Star Driver ... if Funimation is not doing that one, who is? Or did Aniplex get a nibble at NYAF from a distributor that doesn't do simulcasts? In any event, while the other one is not my cup of tea, I'm happy that Kuragehime is streaming, that was probably the one not yet streaming that I most wanted to check out. |

That's especially ironic because of how subtly misandrist SW is: whenever any part of the male conventional military does anything, they fail or make things worse. The only real male presence is the military brass, who do nothing but make bad decisions like spoiler["let's take the aliens we're fighting against and turn them into our own super-weapons. Yeah, no way it'll go berserk or be uncontrollable!] And then, when that goes wrong: spoiler[doing the exact same thing next season. Where it still blows up in their faces.] |

At any rate, here's my profile at MyAnimeList and said "list of anime" (because the forum software won't let me have a signature). 
Seriously, though. Just think of how much more money these anime licensors would make; how much more respect the otaku would get from the outside world; if misandristic / "weak young men" anime wasn't the main focus.

LOL. According to him though 'misandry' is only when a female character hits a male character, no matter how slapstick it is. He seems to equate slapstick violence with genuine 'aggressive bullying' for some reason no matter how obvious it is that the character isnt remotely hurt by it. Female characters getting beaten up/hurt/raped/humiliated is AOK though! |

I think, just the premise alone, of Kuragehime is genius. How many anime solely focus on a woman's fandom? And the fact that Omori, one of my favorite directors, is handling this makes me beam with satisfaction.
I was quite fascinated with Oreimo's focus on girl fandom too. And people say there was no good anime this year...[/spoiler] |

It is genius, and it's great fun seeing all the different 'fandoms' the women are involved with. It also makes me wish I lived with them. I'm also nominating Kuragehime for best OP sequence of any anime, ever - beating even the infectious Lucky Star dance. And yeah I'm sick of people going on about the lack of good anime when there's this gem right here. |

I will definitely be buying Heaven's Lost Property when it comes out. I'm glad I didn't cave and watch it online. My roommate wants to see it too and it would be a good addition to our anime watching pile.
