That means they'll be somewhat ahead with the production of the anime.

Recording breaking early acquisition announcement in March and 3 month early streaming. CR definitely had to have been heavily involved with this. I wouldn't be surprised if they have the master license to this show.

Funimation will almost certainly license this series. |

It may be somewhat obvious that they have advanced production, though, I think more than that, from what I saw on a sakuga website, Production I.G is putting enough money into this work. Almost half of Studio Wit budget was put up by Production I.G

CR are the master license for the OVA's [url]http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-press-release/2017/03/28/crunchyroll-announces-winter-2017-anime-lineup Even if Funi dubs it CR owns the license |

From the looks of it, CR will most likely sublicense the home video rights and dubbing rights to Funi, but CR will definitely be master owner of the license. It's not exactly confirmed but this is going off of how CR is able to make these very early announcements and how Miles from CR said that CR sublicensed Yuri On Ice to Funi. |

Another good example is Alice & Zoroku https://twitter.com/MilesExpress999/status/852570366425710592 |

It would be really cool if CR sublicensed this to Funi, Funi dubs it, and then the get it on Toonami as fast as possible. Judging by the manga this seems like it could really bridge a demographic gap for [AS]. Even though anime viewership has a pretty even male/female split as far as online streaming goes, Toonami's viewership is still predominantly male. But the manga deftly balances action and romance, surreal fights, mysteries and introspection, and seems like it has something for everyone. I also think it probably scratches the same itch that something like Inuyasha does, with its human/non-human romance and supernatural elements. Inuyasha did well for Toonami back in the day and was a big demo-bridger from what I understand.
Bottom line, Toonami continues to be fueled by nostalgia but fans still clamor for new stuff. As unimportant as it is to get anime on broadcast TV these days, I still think this show could do shockingy well for them. Jason Demarco, here my cries lol. |
