Nice to see they are making a solid effort to push legal streaming!
Not into Magi, but i'll be sure to catch Kill La Kill and Valvrave on Daisuki or Crunchyroll |

I find it odd Gaileo Donna isn't mentioned here even though that's an Aniplex JP title, and a A-1 Pictures one at that. There's no way they could have skipped over it...right?

With my luck, not a single one of these will be available in Scandinavia.

Thats nice. Now I won't have worry about a large gap between the livestream and the subs for KLK and valvrave.

Odder is that they've already announced they have Sammeco (and have an English page up for it already) but don't mention it. Guess they'll probably have a "round two" of announcements closer to October. |

I sure hope they don't skip over it. That's one of my most anticipated titles of the Fall. I gave up on Magi after 1 episode (there's much anime that comes out every season!) I'll probably watch it dubbed at some point. I'll probably pass on valvrave season 2 since the first 1 was awful from what I saw of it. The only one of these I'll be following the simulcast of is Kill la Kill. |

I really enjoyed Little Witch Academia, so I'll have to check out Kill la Kill as well.

Relieved that I can watch Magi: Kingdom of Magic and Kill La Kill on Crunchyroll without a huge delay. Bravo Aniplex USA.
(and I think they will probably annouce Galilei Donna closer to October and announce that and Samurai Flamenco's simulcast together). |

I am very glad that all these titles will be simulcasted on Crunchyroll (and other places). But I am wondering why these series were not just simulcasted at DAISUKI and late-casted days or weeks later at the other three places.
I thought Aniplex was more keen on supporting and promoting DAISUKI. I am not thrilled with Monogatari Second Season being simulcasted exclusively through DAISUKI, but it has made me use that site. |

Well, it's Aniplex USA that made the announcement, and the previous seasons of Valvrave and Magi were limited to the US, Canada and just a handful of other English-speaking countries. |

Personally hoping it IS skipped over if only to break the AoA monopoly of Aniplex JP titles but it's pretty unlikely to be the case. We'll know soon enough though I guess |

It could be that the streaming numbers on Daisuki were disappointing enough that Aniplex wasn't willing to make the sacrifice to give the site more exclusives. As they are only one of several owners of the site, they may feel it is time for one of the other studios to step up to the plate for this season. |

This is good news. I expect to watch Kill La Kill and Crunchyroll is my preferred provider as I have a subscription to it.
I like that we're seeing more titles streamed through multiple sites. Besides saving the frustration of something being inaccessible or streamed through an inferior service, it means that streaming sites can't easily compete on content. So I hope that instead, they'll have to compete on service quality, price and supplementary benefits. That could be very much to the favor of consumers. |
