Well this is good, legal subs for Durarara means more people will watch it.

It should be noted that Chu-Bra isn't showing up for those of us in the UK. It likely means that it wont be available to us. Durarara is still showing up for us.

YES! I hope you don't have to have a paid subscription to see Durarara!!, I signed up and got a free one maybe two months before they went legit, I'd rather prefer to not give them money, not even for Durarara!!, I'd just wait patiently...
Still, this is good news, what are the odds y'think that Funimation will pick up Durarara!! too for dub and DVD release?

So happy to see them get Durarara, was already planning to watch it anyway.

I'm a little surprised to see them get Chu-Bra, doesn't seem like something they'd get. Wasn't planning on watching it before, still not now.

Hm... well I can't see them on the site.

I will probably check out Durarara!! even though I haven't heard too many good things about it.

Still really hoping they can manage to get Nodame Cantabile Finale. It's the only anime I really need to see from this upcoming season, and I'd really like to watch it legally.

There is no such page to link to yet. The only thing officially announced is Cobra: the Animation. The rest of the announcements are, according to Quarkboy (a CR translator) on the AnimeOnDVD forums, delayed. Mostly because of the holiday season holding up negotiations with the Japanese companies. We might not be seeing anything until January 4th or 5th or so.

Might as well make this case here:
Despite what the official website would lead you to believe, the correct title for the series is "Dulalala!!".
One of the main characters is a Dullahan; the title is a corruption of that word. Hopefully Crunchyroll's translators will notice this and correct the spelling of the title.

Great, now we're going to see more of the "It's Horo not Holo!" types of fanwank.

Oh, it gets worse. Main character's name is written as Certy on the back cover of the second volume, but Celty is an actual, if rare, name...the debate on that could be exhausting, so I ignored it.

On the other hand, Totoro is a corruption of the word "troll," but that doesn't necessarily mean that Totoro should be written as "Torolo." Macross is a wordplay on the words "macro-" and "Macbeth," but that doesn't necessarily mean that Macross should be written as "Macroth." Tekkonkinkreet is a corruption of tekkin concrete, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Tekkonkinkreet should be written as "Tecconkincrete."

By virtue of being corruptions, there isn't a limit on how far these proper nouns should be removed from their original name inspirations.

No no no, the correct title is Duɽaɽaɽa!! where ɽ is an apical postavelar flap which is neither an "r" nor an "l". Wink

Except the writer's actually put "Holo" on a scene in season 2...making it easy for everyone to know which is correct.

On topic, Crunchyroll really seems to like the ecchi anime
