I wonder what happened between Sentai and Crunchyroll. It seems that everything Sentai licenses goes to The Anime Network and/or Hulu now instead of Crunchyroll. Did they have a falling-out with Crunchyroll or are The Anime Network and Hulu just offering more money to Sentai?

Everyone is wanting a piece of the anime streaming pie lately. Im gonna say it's 99% chance money offered is involved.
The 1st season of rinne streamed on CR. They'd be doing a major disservice to the fans if the 2nd season doesn't stream on crunchyroll. But eh, look at dog days season 3. Crunchyroll IMO is starting to get rather lackluster in terms of the shows they stream lately. They think padding their numbers with 2-5 minute shorts make them look like they offer the best shows available. |

If I'm not mistaken, Sentai owns The Anime Network. So, that could be a reason as to why. |

Keep in mind, also, that while technically separate companies, The Anime Network and Sentai ultimately have the same parent company (AEsir Media Group, who owns Sentai, also owns Valkyrie Media who owns TAN), and with the battle for streaming eyeballs heating up they could be encouraging Sentai to keep more of their streaming shows "in the family," so to speak, to try to drive more web traffic towards TAN and put it in a more competitive position; up until recently it's been largely irrelevant compared to CR and Funi. As for your last comment, every licensor and distributor is going to have stronger seasons and weaker seasons; that's just the nature of the business when there are only a few highly desirable properties and a lot of filler to fight over every season. Last year Funi generally had the edge on CR with getting the big shows, but for this upcoming season CR's kicking Funi in the teeth. And so it goes. |

Whoops totally forgot about that. I guess it makes sense then to cut out the middleman (even though The Anime Network has a significantly smaller user base). |

If it was a new show with limited exposure/interest than I would agree, but this is a continuation of (what seems to be) a compelling story. I'm sure the people that watched the first season would be more then willing to just go to Anime Network and watch it there. If anything, this will give Anime Network more exposure. |

Well it was ok, it didn't seem that great. It didn't have a lot of stars ratings. Maybe Crunchyroll decided it can afford to lose it.

While I did enjoy Rin-ne I don't think I'm going to bother with season 2 if it's not on Crunchyroll. If anything I can always go back to reading the manga. In the manga I went a little further than the first season of the anime.

I'll have to agree with some I have cr funi and Hulu but by god is the animenetwork the worst service I have ever had I signed up for a free trail which didn't work and so I contacted them several times and never got a reply so I never ended up trying out their service cus whats the point if I can't have a free trail just in case it's really bad ya know ? it just really left a bad taste in my mouth especially since the only way you can sign up is through Apple Store and or paypal it's ridiculous considering their website and apps are so outdated and slow. I'm not even bagging on them these are all just truths.
Maybe it's a selfish thing to want to be able to stream the shows I want from services that offer good services and quality but if it wasn't for hulu I doubt theyd be getting enough people watching their shows that they would give up on getting streaming rights after all isn't the point to get as many people to watch the show as possible (no it's all about what company pays the most money for the rights). Luckily all the new anime on Hulu has better quality but even up till a year or two ago the quality was bad on most shows . Anyways enough of the rant lets just hope crunchyroll also gets rinne if not I'm not gonna watch unless also on hulu but kabaneri looks like it's gonna lose a lot of that hype since most anime fans aren't going to subscribe for just one anime show I know I won't |

I swear I saw an announcement on either ANN or CR saying they were going to stream RIN-NE 2... Maybe It was a miss-post, and CR has it, but not for my area? I swear I saw it.....
It is possible that CR and TAN could both have it... right? I mean, Sentai (and Aniplex as well) really spread their shows around usually. I guess we won't know for sure until CR fills in all of it's boxes. Also, Is Sentai mostly Canada/US/Mexico, or is it likely for CR to get RIN-NE for non-Americas streaming? |

But it's not just TV with Amazon Prime, and many Anime fans might have Amazon Prime for the Free 2-day shipping, or some other feature. I piggyback on my Mom's account, which she has for free shipping, since she never watches otherwise... They also have the 1992 Animated Batman, you know back when WB actually did Animation... (Come to think of it, WB seems to be the only place that does batman right: 1992 TV series, Dark Knight Movie Trilogy, Arkham Asylum game Trilogy...) |

Ugh, seriously, I give up. Streaming is officially too effing complicated for my simple ass.

Ugh, even TCN's commercials are flashbacks from MySpace with no regard for flashing and cheesy images. If Rin-ne 2 won't be on CR, I'm not watching this. TCN doesn't even have an ad option to watch their shows.
