Summer 2017 Anime U.S. & Canada Licensing/Streaming Rights
-
We're now a month away before the start of the Summer 2017 anime season, and once again it's time to get started in keeping track who's getting what, what has been confirmed, what we think might be confirmed, and of course, just doing us all a favor and keeping track of what's happening in anime licensing.
The name of the game has changed pretty drastically as of last season, so at this point, it really can and will be anyone's game from here on out.
For those curious about what shows will be airing in the summer, check these resources here:

My Body is ready for Amazon and their episode issues still being there in the summer season!

@darkdeath174 assuming the only shows they actually paid for were Saekano, Bahamut and Re:Creators I think they'll get Dive and maybe 2-3 others. This season had Attack on Titan and My Hero Academia for Crunchyroll/Funimation to make sure they got (I could see both Netflix and Amazon at least thinking about getting Attack on Titan) while next season's sequels (that aren't Aniplex shows) are mostly things like New Game or Teekyu that I can't see either rushing to get.
Because of that Sentai was probably able to scoop a lot more than they otherwise would have. I've also noticed Sentai seems to do big pushes every other season. This season they have 9 new shows, In Winter they had 2, Fall they had 8, Summer they had 4, Spring they had 4. While not totally consistent they don't seem to do 2 big seasons in a row.
-
Actually now that I think about it, last thread was pinned, so probably should ask to get this one pinned now instead.
Might we get this one pinned pretty please @SpacemanHardy
-
The Reflection is starting July 22. Some shows will be airing episode 4 that day.
-
Interesting that it's starting that late, but here's hoping that one's gonna be worth the wait.
-
Wait Fate/Apocrypha starts this summer? I was not aware of this. But I don't want to have to get a Netflix sub ;-; I really REALLY hope that CR gets to stream it... or even Daisuki.

It's been confirmed as a Netflix exclusive.
When an anime is confirmed to be Netflix exclusive, that is non-negotiable. And you're not gonna see it until either half of its out or all of it is out.
Welcome to the pain that was patiently waiting for a legal source to watch Little Witch Academia for HALF A GOD DAMN YEAR!

technically it is only confirmed for Netflix in Japan but I think it'll probably be WW

I mean... I don't exactly know how I feel about it though. If they gave us like the first two episodes first that'd help so then I'd be able to gauge if I'd actually like it or not, but I would rather be able to watch it all at once, assuming its got the same level of quality that Zero had, given that its source is a LN instead of a VN I have decently high hopes for it because then I don't have to deal with the multiple endings/arcs BS associated with VNs.

I'd be willing to guess since Pony Canyon is hosting the Welcome to the Ballroom premier at AnimeExpo with no affiliation with any American licensor that Pony Canyon US is back and has Welcome to the Ballroom although certainly not confirmed.
Edit: PonyCanyon US put out a press release about the Welcome to the Ballroom AniExpo premier and Tweeted it so I'd say like 90% chance they have it @classyspartan

This really bums me out a lot but.....ugh, at least we'll be getting it on Crunchyroll at least.
-
Well here's a development I certainly didn't expect.
It may very well be possible that Kakegurui: Compulsive Gambler is going to be a Netflix-exclusive series.
-
@classyspartan hopefully that's Japan only. I'm not sure about Netflix but Amazon has had exclusive streaming in Japan for some shows like Interviews with Monster Girls.

I feel like if something is confirmed to be streaming exclusively on Netflix....it's a pretty done deal.
Amazon there is some abiguity but even then I feel if it markets itself as Amazon Prime only or something like that it's also probably set in stone.
Speaking of which.....
Made in Abyss (possibly) confirmed for Anime Strike / Amazon exclusive.
Anyways I'm gonna be going to AnimeNEXT this weekend, so feel free to keep me posted on any news and updates in this thread and I'll of course update the master chart once the weekend's over.
-
@Doublethree100 Are you sure since last time I checked Crunchyroll has Interview with monster girls
-
Amazon has had exclusive streaming in Japan for some shows like Interviews with Monster Girls.
just to make sure I checked, yup Prime is the only thing listed for streaming

Sakura Quest and Bakuon also come to mind as shows that Amazon had exclusive streaming rights in Japan that didn't carry over when the show arrived overseas. Made in Abyss is also being handled to some capacity by Kadokawa Pictures, so the Crunchyroll deal may be in effect with it.
-
@Rootsofjustice We also thought Funimation had Baha season 2 locked down, but that wasn't the case. So anything could happen.
-

pretty sure this is done as Crunchyroll didn't have Konosuba S2 WW ex Asia like the deal stated they should have.
-
Since there's no Fall thread yet (would be way too early) I'll just post here but apparently Crunchyroll is showing episodes 1-3 of The Ancient Magus Bride TV at Anime Expo.
If episodes 1-3 are already in a finished enough state to be showing I wonder how far along the show is and if Funimation will do a same day simuldub for this.
