Very nice. That explains why I mistook it for a 4koma adaptation.

One would have to wonder at the late release and missing episodes to be added at a latter date?

One big question is what happened.

That just about covers the entire season aside from a few sequel stragglers. I like Good Jobu, so more people having access is nice.

Great. Looke like I won't need to DL fansubs for this show.

Though, I must say, CR really needs to stop doing this ghetto "Stream shows halfway through their airing" thing.

Out of all the reasons I can think of, the most probable one is that contract issues held up it being simulcast.

If it's anything like Little Busters, it'll take a couple weeks before the previous episodes will be streaming on the site.

It could be a situation where Sentai (or someone else) didn't originally want to license it, but decided to now due to good feedback from watchers, so they picked up the license and sublicensed the stream to Crunchy.

Ghetto? If they don't have the show, then they don't have the show. Perhaps they could start with the first episode and latest episode at the same time, but we really don't know how many translators they have for the many shows already airing. The decision to start at the latest episode may have been made to get the people already watching the fansubs.

Could be, but unlikely. The publisher is NTV, whom Sentai doesn't have any titles from. Looking at the other NTV shows on Crunchy, you see the Chihayafuru seasons, the HunterxHunter remake, and the My Little Nightmare drama. None of those have been licensed in NA, so it's unlikely that someone in NA picked it up.

I called it "ghetto" because....it is. They're getting the show halfway through its airing and literally starting off with episode 7 and then doing the previous ones afterwards. That's...that's pretty ghetto.

I know WHY they did it--because they want to simulcast the remainign episodes, but still.

It's a nice show. Somewhat surprised I'm following it, don't usually care much for this type of shows.

Got surprisingly affordable Japanese release, by Japanese standards for one-cour shows; 4 discs with 3 episodes on each, at lower than average prices for the volumes.

Given that the alternative would be to simply call it quits for any show they didn't have a couple of weeks after the season starts, I say otherwise.

I'm sorry, I know this is off-topic, but for some reason I read this as "G.I. Joe" and then "Moe" anime. Laughing
