So this marks the second time Viz got their hands on a... GoHands title?

*BADUM-TISH*

Viz must've been happy with how K worked out for them and wanted more.

You can definitely tell this is a GoHands title. The animation itself is stellar, but they insist on slapping that green/red/blue filter all over everything.

And BLUE. SOOOO MUCH BLUUUUE. Shocked

Since it's based off a Kodansha manga series I'm sort of surprised Viz got it, but they seemed to be pretty happy with how K's doing so far so I guess going after another GoHands/Starchild Records series makes sense for them. I look forward to checking this out on Wednesday

Looks gorgeous (yup, can definitely tell it's by the same studio that made Mardock Scramble and K due to the coloring).

Can't wait, been dying to see this show.

Well, it's better to have so many colors and filters rather than hues of brown, gray and-- oh wait, we're talking about a sci-fi military action anime here, not a video game. Laughing

One GoHands title I'd be curious in seeing brought over here would be Setokai Yakuindomo. The verbal sex comedy ended up getting a bit repetitive to the end of its TV run, but wow, were they diligent in all that verbal sex comedy-- while the art and animation pretty much never showed anything as naughty as many other typical "fan service" anime, I can't think of any other TV anime that was so sexually explicit in its dialogue. Was thinking FUNI or maybe even Sentai would've picked it up, but that never materialized. Viz seems to have been making the "safest" choices in terms of anime licenses-- I suppose they'd never be ballsy enough (pun intended) to release that, huh?

I will so watch this on Viz's site to support it!

go VIZ! I had hopes Crunchyroll or daisuki would pick this up! with Funimation being a last ditch hope! due to player issue with Funimations web site.

Go Viz! also happy to see Ranma 1/2 up on vizanime.com site.

The only real reason for me hating Viz's site - it doesn't work in Canada Sad

If you ask me, it's about time for the revolution to begin.

Booooo! Shame I was looking forward to this show. Why Viz vehemently refuses to make their free streams available in Canada I'll never know.

I think that has more to do with Hulu being restricted to the US. So unless Hulu gets enough ad support in Canada or Viz decides to make their own player I guess we are without Viz anime streaming.

On the bright side, Sentai's workaround for no Hulu in Canada means we get to watch some shows for free without ads!

I don't think they can do anything about the ads, but I doubt it'll have bad video quality.

We've confirmed with Hulu that it'll be 1080p.

Yep looks like their work, which means I won't watch this since what they've done has been mostly crap. K was nauseating to watch and Scramble was ok at best.

Which is shame because they make appealing looking things, which may be their problem.
