Since the last broadcast dub episode of ReLife came out tonight, I think that will be the next show I binge tomorrow.
I think those are in addition to what Crunchyroll already had before. I know Funimation's doing distribution now, but I figured they'd be able to start putting out Crunchyroll's titles faster than this.

Crunchyroll got weird the past year. Remember when they announced that they planned to release shows on DVD and Bluray with Dubs.
I completely forgot about those shows getting dubs and released on DVDs. I wonder why they haven't said anything about it.

They won't come out and say and it's driving me crazy, lol. They are holding out all of shiws mysteries by slowely leaking out info, but with no context behind it, so it's impossible to connect the dots on what the deal is, lol. You start adding in the
difference of years between the two worlds (which then generalized, but didn't explain, lol)
I'm enjoying it as well, despite their delay/mystery tactics, lol.
You took this soooooo much better thsn I thought you would. I'm still angry to this day because Simon deserved more dammit.

ACCA:13 02
The slow burn keeps on going. Still pretty interested. It's nice to have a show that takes its time every once in a while (as long as it doesn't end up being a slice of life or something)
Akiba's Trip 03
Eh, was alright. Don't really care for idol stuff myself so it was kinda doomed from the start.
Konosuba S2 02
Okay, much muuuuch better than ep1. That was actually one of the better episodes overall. Love this series.
Dragon Maid 02
Great episode, I officially love this show. Liiitle worried its gonna get a bit harem-ey without knowing the original source material. Hope I'm wrong.

Akiba's Trip 3
My mind is fucking blown by a Carl's Jr. being an actual Carl's Jr. The rest of the episode was pretty fun still, the path to becoming an audiophile was hilarious, and I laughed when "that pool" appeared. Glad that Kati keeps showing up too.

Funi is giving me back Scrapped Princess so I don't give a fuck about any of this! Good things come to those who wait.

Did you watch the credits to see if they were in them? That's usually a sign that money changed hands to make that happen.
Yup, that's Carl's Jr on the bottom left.
Maybe it's just one of those "promotional consideration" things.
RahXephon 11
Episode had a bit of everything.
Ayato definitely wants no part of Tokyo anymore, as that part of the hallucination kind of proved. The whole scene with his mother was pretty interesting. Had a feeling that she knew he was connected to the RahXephon the whole time (well that was obvious) but it's amazing that she thought she was an amazing parent. Ayato feels so torn up about everything, whew. Really want to see what happens with Quon, I think she'll die pretty soon. Also who is Reika...maybe the spirit inside of RahXephon?
Also man...Haruka really loves Ayato huh.

Whoops. Put in n instead of k by mistake. My B.
To answer your second question, I really liked it. It was like I was watching a completely different show with its fast paced barrage of attacks between the Barbatos and the Mobile Armour.
I think the last thing I got of theirs was both volumes of Star Driver on BD.

Update on the Crunchyroll situation:
Apparently it was the entire QA team and a good amount of San Francisco's engineering team laid off. It comes from a full post on reddit:
Yikes.

I just watched Angel's Egg and I don't think I understood what was going on but I sure loved them visuals! That's the Amano videogame I want in my life.
I also decided to finally commit to Jojo after putting it on-hold way back when the first season was airing. I just got to the first episode of Battle Tendency and I already like everything about it better than Phantom Blood.

Akiba's Trip, both game and anime, is very meticulous about reproducing the real Akihabara down to all of its businesses.

Konosuba S2 Ep 2
First opening was better and Im still debating on seasons 2 ending if its better than the first. Lots of funny and sad scenes from the crystal and Kazuma is pro gender equality
. Also good job chomsuke.

Way better than the last one. I wouldn't even call this "comedy" particularly funny, but it's really good at conveying this pleasant, charming and relaxing "atmosphere. That brief moment where Kobayashi contemplated humanity's extinction was great too. Memes aside, KyoAni is really good at what they do.

Again their site has had issues for many saturdays and other days, so clearly the engineering department has been in need of doing something to improve the site. If people cant do their job in a satisfactory manner I dont know why people should well take up for them.
Even the simplest thing, the numerous times they upload anime without subs for even 30+ minutes for some unexplained reason has been a recurring issue for the ENTIRE past year.

Ah, so it's nothing about the company itself imploding or being for sale or anything, just money makers making money.
Girlish Number should do an OVA about the English streaming business.
Yeah. Based on 1 I was about to bail, liked 2 quite a bit.

Well, that is true, although a couple of those management stories are concerning to say the least.
So, Crunchyroll should be secure for now, but if their management is as bad as it sounds like right now, that could cause issues further down the line.

Interviews with Monster Girls 2
The date sequence was kind of awkward, but not as bad as I feared it might end up. Having Machi's head and body separated did make for some entertaining scenarios. The character animation took a hit, as expected, and in general the designs didn't seem as well handled as the first episode. Oh well.
What I really want, though, is to see the bottom of Machi's head. We haven't gotten a good look at it since it's always resting on something. Does she have a hole where her neck would go, similar to her body, or is it just skin all around?

If their PMs and QA have been laid off then its no wonder why their Apple TV app is complete fucking horseshit. I was wondering how anyone can ship a product like that and it all makes sense.
91 Days - Episode 11
I liked this episode a lot. Probably the most logical and straight mafia revenge episode in the series where I didn't just roll my eyes or burst into laughter. Although that one guy taking on two goons who tried to gank him was kinda funny. Fucking scrubs. I think ultimately though, while the execution here actually worked, none of it really felt satisfying. I realize that I don't care about Angelo. I don't care about his revenge. I don't care about the Vanettis. None of this matters. It feels like it was all for nothing, indeed. Good episode title.
91 Days - Episode 12 (End)
This was the best ending the show doesn't deserve. That's about all I can say about it. Everything about the final episode felt more mature, more sensitive, and just more human than anything else in the rest of the series. Why the change in tone and direction? Or was this what they were striving for all along but was simply unable to find a balance? I don't know but it's a huge waste.
If indeed this was what they planned all along, then this was a story of how Nero Vanneti is a man who truly lives rather than someone who tries to live. A man of principle but also one who lives in a world he didn't choose to be in. Yet he takes it all in his stride and does what he must with what that life offers, not caring about what others think. And it is a story of how Angelo is a man who lives for a delusion. A ghost who should never have survived that night. I think there's a compelling dynamic there, and the ending certainly shows that there's a conclusive ending for such a story and says all it needs to say. Too bad everything that came before didn't support it enough to make it a slam dunk.

For starters, I will just clarify that anyone posting any kind of opinion or view regarding a show wouldn't really be "noise" at all. Noise is filler posts and chatter completely unrelated to your experiences/views of a show. It's not really something that happens too often right now.
I can certainly see where your concern is coming from with regards to people holding differing opinions. I would agree that treating people who hold such opinions badly is certainly not welcoming to new member of the community. However, I think this kind of situation actually ends occurring in two different ways:
1) There's the scenario you have suggested above, where someone is attacked for simply holding an opinion.
2) There's a scenario where someone expresses an opinion with regards to anime, other people express a negative opinion regarding that anime, and the person with the original opinion feels like they're being 'attacked' when in fact all that is occurring is a robust debate as to the quality of a particular anime.
In on other words, some people seem to really take it the wrong way (e.g. too personally) when people express a negative opinion about a work they happen to like. This is just part of the discussion here: people tend to be fairly critical about the anime they watch and will often express those criticisms at length.
To wrap up this thought, I'd say this is the softest AnimeGAF has ever been in terms of allowing a diversity of opinions to flourish in the thread. I'm not saying that further improvement is not possible, but I do think it's at a pretty good place right now.
It's fine. If they're done with the community after declining an offered platform they long thought denied to them, that's on me to stop worrying about. Just ease up on the shtick and I think everyone will be happy if they ever do happen to wander back.
On a more positive note, Voltron's back on Friday and here's hoping they continue on the upward trajectory it was on.
Truly you have shounen heart enough to see through to the truth of my feelings.
wonzo would say this civil war was bad too. rip wonzo
Because good shows are .webm'd instead as
I mean, don't we all?
Hey, I appreciate your insight. You watch a lot of stuff and you have some honest opinions about shows that people don't quite appreciate since it doesn't align with their views. Wouldn't have watched Hackadoll or Nurse Witch Komugi R without your prodding.

ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Department 1-2
I'm digging this. So far it's a lot of set-up and world building, and right now it's seeming like a slow boil, but I'm intrigued. I'm enjoying Otus as the main character, although I'll be curious to see how he handles being framed.
Also, this is my favorite OP of the season.

Is Episode 2 of Scums Wish not out yet? For some reason I can only access episode one, though it's telling me episode 2 came out Yesterday (January 18th). It shouldn't be an Anime Strike issue either since it's not in Canada.

I don't think so. I think it comes out Thursday, which might be why it says that date.
And Fango is definitely "inspired" by Gyp in Boardwalk Empire, right down to how they first try to assassinate him when he's getting dominated by some mistress and the assassins fuck the job up, starting an open turf war.
There is nothing original about 91 Days at all. It's a hollow love letter to a bunch of mob stories in popular media, all of which are probably better than 91 Days itself.
"All for nothing"
I will say, I do indeed get made fun of less for saying SAO is an enjoyable show or saying that MAL recommendations aren't a bad place to check if you are just looking for something similar to what you just watched.
I mean obviously you guys still make fun of me for that stuff, but it's far less than it used to be lol.
In other thoughts I really should watch some anime. im not sure what I want to watch in general :/

I think it's at least worth checking out to see if you like it. The pacing is pretty quick and despite that, not much has actually been explained or a plot hook introduced yet, but it's dropping enough hints in a tense enough setting to keep me interested and watching.
I didn't see it posted anywhere here, but with all the bad news about Crunchy's mismanagement, its still good news that the HTML5 for Crunchy is now in beta.
Yeah, thats weird. The listing is there, but you can't play the video.
Odd. Maybe thursday or friday will yield something.

I didn't think anything was original, but I personally definitely found it enjoyable in terms of pure entertainment. And you are right, that ending is too good for the show, haha.
it likely won't... like at all?
they fired some people, but they hired a bunch of other people.
we don't know how many they hired but they are calling it overall a net gain.
so unless the 17 people they fired were way more skilled than the new people, it's unlikely there will be any significant change to things.
it's just as likely to get better as it is to get worse at this point *shrugs*
to be fair either way I expect crunchy as we know it to be gone in a year or two, and it to be fully shifted into VRV if it is even any sort of success (which they say the early signs are good)
