This is one of those " yes, I'm an idiot" cases. Hakuoki was received and the Yakumo episode is the 5th.

Now I'm going to go punt those damn leprechauns.

- Missing this week is the Anime Access feature but, as of right now, it looks like it'll be the case for everyone since it's the 3rd provider so far reporting it missing.

- Natsuyuki Rendez-Vous 11 is still missing. Kobato 19 and the promised Someday's Dreamers II finale haven't come up either. I contacted Cogeco and only got a generic reply which doesn't get my hopes up one iota.

- Are we screwed for these episodes ? Only one upate left before it's too late for NRV.

- This one is only a small inquiry: is the skipped Letter Bee #15 episode scheduled to come up at some point ? It's not that I think we're all missing a crucial episode essential to the main storyline (it's probably a one-and-done, self-contained story episode anyway) but I'm just wondering.

I totally forgot about the Someday's Dreamers that we were supposed to receive. What's up with all those missing finales ? We already had three or four occurrences since the beginning of the year.


No updates during the weekend.

Although the comedy is mostly of the same nature (the main character will slip into the Krauser persona and screw up), the sight gags and subs are hilarious. I'm not sure though that the dialog in Japanese is as raunchy and lewd as the subs indicate....whoever did the translation at Sentai probably had "carte blanche" and much leeway as wanted.


I mean....just the "fish" line at ep. 03's preview

I don't recall ever seeing something like this for any provider since subscribing. That's frickin' awesome. Thank you guys!

We did received an episode 12, but like it was mentioned in this thread, it was a resent of episode 11.

I'm curious about the new approach for delivering shows.... I like the current pace of a single episode per week. Does the "flood" mean dumping an entire series, or the equivalent of a disc, all at once ?

I'm sure the people who like to do "marathon sessions" and watching 3-4 episodes in a row for a whole evening will be crazy about it. However, I hope that having an "accelerated pace" when delivering shows also means that they'll have a longer tenure on VOD. Just trying to keep the pace of watching X number of episodes per week is hard enough, having to speed up the process within the same time frame is basically asking to spend whatever free time you have left on VOD so you can catch up with everything.


The benefit of VOD is you don't have to be a slave to the television, let's hope the new process can let us stay that way. I guess we'll see how it goes.
