News - Anime publisher REMOW has announced that it will be officially releasing English subtitled episodes of the 90s police comedy anime KochiKame via the It's Anime Youtube Channel in both the US and Canada. It's Anime will release new episodes every Friday, and stated that they plan to release all 373 episodes of the series over time. (If it keeps to that schedule, that means it will take about 7 years to release the entire series!) This marks the first time the series has been made available streaming in English officially in the US or Canada.

I kept Hulu around for so long for my Rumic obsession I called it the "Inuyasha tax" but no more.

English dub of Dragon-Half is on VRV (and Crunchyroll). I only ever watched the sub, and the dub is hitting that “needs background anime while doing chores” spot. Still hilarious 20-ish years later.

Crunchyroll also announced that they will not support Funimation's digital copy content, so any digital copies of Funimation anime you may have purchased or had claimed with codes included in your Funimation DVD/BDs will no longer be available to watch in your libraries after the shut down date.

News - Along with their release of KochiKame and other series, REMOW has also started releasing the 80s Shonen Jump comedy High School! Kimengumi anime and the It's Anime channel! This marks the first time the series has ever been available streaming officially in English in North America, though like with their other series, it will be released weekly. You can check out the first episode above if you're in the US and Canada!

News - For those of you in North America, Crunchyroll has added the first 15 episodes of the classic magical girl series Fairy Princess Minky Momo for Premium Members. Previously, these episodes had appeared on the small streaming platform, Darkroom. It is still unclear if Darkroom has official license for these, as not much information could be found on the company and who runs it. But the episodes on CR seem to be similar or the same to theirs, so I guess only time will tell if we see any more episodes uploaded.
