I wonder if it will also stream on Funimation, Crunchyroll etc. I can not see Sentai dubbing it since it has voice actors from LA in it.

I hope this will appear on CR and Funimation as well. Pop Team Epic's non-exclusivity contract brought the type of competition to the streaming market that we need.

Actually, its licensed by Funimation, since they were the first to release the home video version. As it's a non-exclusive agreement, this anime can be licensed by anybody.

It will also launch on asiancrush.com for sure, and probably Crunchyroll and Funimation later with the dub? Wouldn't be surprised to see this on Amazon as well later

FMP:TSR was recorded AT ADV but licensed by Funi. I would imagine that, should Funi and Sentai be O.K. with it, Funi could record the show at Funi but Sentai releases it. Sure, that is a big "what if", but Funi is big enough to help make a similar thing happen with these OVA ep. I do wonder if these OVA will repeat the TV series version of having 4 VA per episode for our 2 lead characters.

My initial thought is that it doesn't matter who licenses this because there isn't a consistent voice cast at all. But really, I'm sure this is just the same kind of license the series has in that it will be streaming everywhere possible.

The Second Raid was licensed initially by Kadokawa Pictures USA with Funiamtion acting as distributor and then later as lisencer.
