Wonder why Malaysia isn't included.

So, AS USUAL, my country gets jack shit, while they keep on focusing on every single other country out there. Great. BAGUS. Perrggh...

@mierin I feel you bro, why they keep doing this to our country also I don't know. I tell you ah... Hoping for Animax to give us stuff but everything also late or 2 simulcast shows then how? It's a miracle Steam is a legit thing in Malaysia weih, if not ah I tell you, then having all the big guys come to the conventions also no point.

I'm a sis, actually Cool

I don't mind if Animax shows the series late. You can't expect all the shows to get aired as quickly as possible. We don't control what happens behind the scenes, and I am more than happy to support whatever series they decide to have in their lineup, late or simulcast.

Though in this case, it is weird because pretty much all the surrounding countries will be getting the stream, but we're lumped with Japan (which is understandable) and China (also understandable) for some reason.

But, my fellow Malaysians, we did get to watch it, same season simulcast lah (albeit about 3 weeks late).

One-Punch Man was available on Animax-On-Demand (through Astro On-Demand service) during its actual broadcast season. The episodes were available about 3 weeks after they were broadcasted in Japan.

Unfortunately, it is currently no longer available. Animax-On-Demand would make an anime available for 4 months, then remove it from their library. Later they may or may not make it available again for another 4 months.

So it is not that we could not get it, but we just got a significantly worse deal compared with the other countries.

They get: Free and in HD.

We get: Must pay additional cost and not in HD. Sad
