Oh, I remember H2O. I actually somewhat sort of liked it.

H2O, I came across an epsode of that, Ecchi anime around a blind boy
 That's pretty bad or awesome depending on your veiws.

H2O was great. I loved the story and found it pretty touching, especially the ending. I'll probably rewatch it now on CR. Ninomiya-kun was kind of meh. Maburaho I haven't seen but am very curious.

Only thing I enjoyed about H2O was spoiler[Having a heterosexual trap, one that was married and had a kid at that!]. Don't seem to see that too often in anime.
But yeah, other than that, was pretty below average except for the ending, which was simple spoiler[deus-ex machina hogwash]. Otoha was pretty awesome though. |

I thought Æsir Holdings inherited Maburaho after ADV split up into the four smaller companies we've got now.

I had to LOL at "several young women who are interested in his companionship" when you know what that really means in anime. But the blind thing is sort of interesting; I guess panty shots don't do much for the guy. |

Hayami > Otoha The magical girl Otoha episode was completely out of left field. As for Ninomiya-kun, fail title translation much? Unless Goshusho-sama has an alternative translation as "good luck", last I checked it meant more along the lines of "grief" or "condolences". Of course neither make sense when put in the title alone. Regardless, I remember both titles being very light and fun titles in a good way. They may not be great for everyone, but they were certainly enjoyable in one form or another, especially H2O since it was a bit different from your usual harem or visual novel adaptation.

I find it kind of amusing that this and the last Kadokawa additions on Crunchyroll are obviously shows that have no hope of making any kind of money as a DVD release over here. I guess streaming ad revenue is the last gasp.

Magical Otoha episode (seriously wtf?) and the unbelievably strange ending were probably the main negatives about this show.
Funny thing is that Otoha episode ended on a really emotional note. |

ADV only ever had TV and home video rights, no streaming rights. However, I think this one might have expired before their breakup regardless. They always issued that one last boxset right before the license expired (see FMP, Chrono Crusade, Noir, etc.), so I think it's unlikely they still have rights to the show. Not to mention that Anime Network no longer lists it on their site, so at least the TV rights have expired. |

Just checked out a couple of them. Maburaho is literally an encode of the DVD, subtitles and all (it's a bit odd to see the closing credits start by listing the english dub cast...) And since it's a DVD source, not sure how much benefit there is to the 720p version. I like and recommend the show itself - for a fanservice romcom, it has a lot of heart.
Ninomiya-kun is 480p only and the video quality is a little rougher than I remember from watching the subs when it came out. Didn't catch H2O first time around; maybe now I'll get around to it. I'm glad that CR is continuing to put up some of these older titles, in addition to the latest stuff. |

Come on...how much of the anime each year to you think makes it over here for a dub and DVD release? Maybe 10 or 15%? So fine by me - put on the subs and stream. Any revenue they can make will mean that much more chance for new shows to get produced.
