A new anime streaming service provided by seven Japanese anime firms will be coming this spring. The seven firms involved in this endeavour are as follows:
• Toei
• Aniplex
• Sunrise
• TMS Entertainment
• Asatsu - DK
• Dentsu
• Nihon Ad Systems
This is exciting news for all anime fans. The shows will be streaming to us directly from Japan and the companies, thereby cutting out the middleman. I'm not entirely clear on how they will deliver the content to us; but they have said they will be releasing some concurrently with broadcast (simulcast).
A few of the shows announced so far:
• Lupin the 3rd
• One Piece
• Prince of Tennis
• Mobile Suit Gundam
• Puella Magi Madoka Magica
The rumor is they will have it up and running for April.
This could possibly be a great new service for anime fans. Any way we can get anime faster and easier is always welcome. Also any competition in the anime streaming market, to compete with the likes of: Crunchyroll, Neon Alley, Anime Network, Netflix, and Hulu is always encouraged.
