If I didn't know any better I'd say Aniplex is actively trying to snipe any platforms that may actually stream these titles in the UK...

I was convinced that Gunslinger Stratos and Plastic Memories would be made available to the UK by Viewster but it doesn't seem to be the case.

It's highly likely that Animax have picked up Gunslinger Stratos and Plastic Memories, since they have done this in the past with previous Aniplex titles like Mekakucity Actors, Nisekoi (which they will also stream Nisekoi: as well) and World Conquest Zvezda Plot. Well Sony owns Animax as well as Aniplex so I guess there's nothing we can do.

Plastic Memories have yet to receive territory news on Crunchyroll so crossing fingers it will also be available for the UK.

One can hope but the only thing is as much as I am one of six people that like Animax, shockingly large amount of people hate them, they're really inconsistent with release schedules, not their fault to be fair but it is still frustrating. Also the fact that they usually announce titles, if they get any in a season, weeks after they've started airing and then we usually have to deal with a few weeks lag in terms of episodes which isn't exactly fun considering by the point they do come out over here the internet has spoiled said episodes and fan subs been out for a while and people will have just turned to them instead. Honestly some times it really feels like the UK is scraping at the scraps that fall on the floor from America's table. =/

Plastic Memories' stream-regions are a bit limited on that service...
