I’ve really been on a simulcast/streaming craze lately. I’ve tried to get people to watch them, promote them, whatever, and I’ve really been trying to figure out what to do. Tried to come up with some guesses as exactly what might see the simulcast treatment this summer.

Nico Nico Douga announced today that they’d be streaming six series directly after their airing. Out of those six (Kuroshitsuji II, Shukufuku no Campanella, Strike Witches 2, Sekirei ~Pure Engagement~, Sengoku Basara 2, and Highschool of the Dead), FUNimation has four of the first installment of the titles — Kuroshitsuji, Sengoku Basara, Strike Witches, and Sekirei. With these shows being opened to the streaming world (or so I would guess since the companies allowed Douga to have them),  I could easily see any of these getting a simulcast treatment from FUNi. Though Basara is popular, it’s probably the least likely, though. Highschool of the Dead seems like a CR or AnimeNetwork show, and the leftovers most likely will go to CR as well.

On top of those series, if FUNimation is planning on keeping up with the noitaminA show’s then they’ll be getting Shiki. The other show in the noitaminA slot this season is actually a drama and not an animation… so I doubt FUNi will simulcast that, but if they do, awesome. It’s Moyashimon, which had an anime-form shown on noitaminA a few years ago.

Occult Academy and Nurarihyon no Mago both seem like logical CrunchyRoll titles as well. It’s really hard exactly what could make the cut since CR really has gone berserk some seasons with licenses, and then not so much on others. Guess we shall see.
