So this is Sentai's sixth pickup of the season, all of which have gone to HIDIVE and none to Strike. Sentai is looking increasingly done with Strike, at least with regard to simulcasts. Don't know that I will watch this show though.

I'm increasingly of the mind that Sentai is done working with Amazon. Hidive needs access to new content on a regular basis to help it grow, and Amazon signing an exclusive deal with Animeism on top of Noitamina makes me think that it was looking to go on without Sentai anyway.

I think it should also be noted that Pop Team Epic, previously believed to be a HiDive exclusive, will be getting a FunimationNow simuldub.

Edit: Also seems like CR got PTE too? https://twitter.com/Crunchyroll/status/948694805575450624?s=17

If they want this show they can keep it. Just stay away from soul hunter, overlord, and saiki k those all need simuldubs.

Apparently it was a non-exclusive so Funi can simuldub it. Throw Jamie Marchi on the script and you have comedy gold just waiting to go.

While I don't care about this particular show, I really hope Sentai is detaching from Anime Strike. I'd rather deal with a streaming site like HiDive that actually releases simulcast episodes on the day they are supposed to and consistently provides subtitles for those episodes, a feat that Amazon just can't seem to pull off.

Looks like I can get rid of strike as soon as yuki yuna is done. Sad that I can't get hidive since they don't have a roku app.

They're working on that and plan to release it this year, though I don't know when exactly. I'm looking forward to that myself, as that's where I do almost all of my anime watching.

Nice! I'll get more use out of HiDive now. The only reason I got it was so that I could watch Classicaloid.
