No surprise, but Crunchyroll News confirms the stream will be sub only:

Actually, it's only twelve episodes. But you can get the DVD release, I think that should be under US$100 for all three sets (excluding shipping). You're looking at it completely the wrong way. This isn't just any show. If this was something boring or normal then maybe it would be too much money. But you're getting more quality in this one show that you would in several great shows combined. Therefore, that makes the show exceedingly good value for money. So yeah, stop focusing on how many episodes you are getting for your money and instead consider how much awesomeness you are getting. When you look at it that way, the show goes from being a bit pricey (for today's fans) to being a massive bargain. PMMM is the sort of show that makes me glad to be an Anime fan. It's the sort of show that makes all those long hard slogs through countless mediocre shows worth it. Do not delay, buy today. |

All things in time; after all, it took us OVER A YEAR to get it legally over here! |

May I ask why? Couldn't they have done this, I don't know, when the series was airing?

Just a warning to Oz and UK enthusiasts: Crunchyroll is streaming it in North America only.

I expect Madman will most likely offer it, or at least some of it, on their website closer to the AU release date for the first DVD/BD (which is in April I believe). Still, makes no diff to me, I pre-ordered all the R1 LE's the moment they become available, gotta have that soundtrack. The 3 week wait for oversea's shipping is soooo loooong. Rightstuf better have packed it well. |

No I saw the series, a good show but not worth the money Aniplex USA is over charging for it and not giving you choices of where to buy it. Even back when the market was mostly singles I can't remember having to pay this much for a series. Edit: I might still eventually get it. Will at least wait till I can buy enough to get free shipping at TRSI. But I'm not happy about the pricing at all. Will probably re-watch the series on CR to decide how much I really want it at that cost. Last edited by Maidenoftheredhand on Wed Feb 15, 2012 8:07 am; edited 1 time in total |

I am happily enjoying my LE set! And lest people forget that it is also a BD/DVD combo on top of the amazing soundtrack and all the goodies which are awesome as well!
I for one love BD/DVD sets, because I can watch the BDs in glorious 1080p when I'm at home and I can watch the DVDs on the go. I wouldn't normally pay so much for 4 episodes, but with a show of this quality I gladly will. And, I already have the vol 2 & 3 LE's preordered! I've already watched vol 1 twice subbed, and have yet to watch the dub yet, but I will probably watch it at least 1 more time before the next one comes out! But, i do think it's great that CR picked it up finally. This is a show that everyone should see at least once. But, if I were you, I would wait until CR has all of the episodes. This is a show that is done justice by marathoning! |

So Crunchyroll gave in and made a contract after all.

I was just there buying the second and third LEs, and the first one was still available: http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/A72UPbSijN7bo9JY94/browse/item/93314/4/0/0 |

Yeah I just checked now and it says that more of the volume 1 LE will be arriving soon. So they are only temporarily out of stock for those who have yet to purchase volume 1.

It's being released in Germany? Damn, if it comes with a at least pretty good German dub, I'd love to see how German lolis sound. And I can practice my German, even with just subs. And I want to pick up the Italian version, because Italian is the sexiest language alive. Or one of the sexiest. I'd say German is up there with it (if you actually know German, it's quite a nice language). |

I've thought all along that Aniplex's strategy for Madoka presumed the existence of widespread illegal distribution and priced the product accordingly. I've never believed industry claims that they don't pay attention to viewing figures for fansubbed releases. Given the reaction to Madoka in the fansub community, Aniplex could plausibly reason that demand was sufficiently intense to insure that a high-priced release would nevertheless still sell well in R1. |
