The first episodes of Absolute Duo and Yurikuma Arashi will be available for FUNimation Streaming Subscribers just a couple days after their Japanese premiere. But fear not, all future episodes will be available just 3 hours after they air in Japan. Look for Episode 01 of Absolute Duo and Yurikuma Arashi at the dates and times listed below, and new episodes every Monday at 12:00 Noon and 12:30 PM CST, respectively.
– Absolute Duo – Episode 01: Tuesday, January 06 at 12:00PM Noon/CST
– Yurikuma Arashi – Episode 01: Wednesday, January 07 at 12:30PM/CST
Hey Lauren, and/ or Michelle a belated Happy New Year to you both. When will the full Winter 2015 simulcast coure/ season be correctly posted in the Simulcast, and Schedule tabs, as the simulcast page is still showing series tabs that have all ready had their season finales.
And both the elite & free subscriber’s schedule threads aren’t listing 7 of the announced new simulcasts yet aside from Assassination Classroom and the 7 ongoing simulcast.
Thank you for providing the update! I am eagirly waiting to check out both series.
Wait. How can Absolute Duo stream 3 hours after it airs in Japan at Noon on Monday when it airs Sunday mornings. Something isn’t adding up here, and I’m not talking about the 36 hour explanation.
I believe what you are referring to is the AT-X release which is special even in the Japanese market. Since they are often involved in shows at the investor level and sometimes are even on the production committees they pay extra for the right to be the first to show certain titles ahead of others that may also be showing the same title in Japan. While I do not know the exact air times the 3 hour delay is most likely referring to the wider network release.
Be that as it may, that still doesn’t explain why the episode is streaming late. If the show streams on Monday at Noon, then care to explain what happened to make the shows air a day later. Also, the series has yet to be added to the series list. All I want is an honest to good ANSWER. Not cover-ups.
Its no conspiracy, the beginning of the season is often rough for simulcasts for all the major sites. Don’t worry about a couple day delay at the beginning of the season.
Then how’s about this, if FUNimation ends up being the only site that aired it’s series late while other sites like for example Crunchyroll air theirs on time with no problems, then would you say that FUNimation is sorta not living up to what it could be. By all means, DO NOT mistake this for me dissing FUNimation. I love it. I’m simply upset with the way a series I was hyped-up for got a bad start with having to wait 2 days for subtitles after a lot of sites had the raw version up already.
>Crunchyroll airing with no problems.
lol
CR has had similar things though. Where a Simulcast had been released later than what it was scheduled for due to broadcasting changes, licenser request and what not. This isn’t the first time for either site that a show*s* has been delayed due to broadcasting scheduling. And it won’t e the last. To be worried or upset about it is pretty pointless as this is usually something out of CR and Funis hands.
Thank you for the update. Please continue to communicate with us about these types of topics, it is very much appreciated.
I kind of figured most of the companies involved with the simulcasts would be a little out of sync at the start of the new year. Thanks for updating us on the new shows.
