  • "The Crunchyroll website has announced on Wednesday that it will stream Shugo Chara!, Skip Beat!, and "many other" anime series from the Japanese broadcaster TV Tokyo. TV Tokyo and Crunchyroll had already announced that they will begin providing the latest episodes of the Naruto Shippūden anime series on January 8 within an hour of their Japanese broadcast. The Japanese news source BB Watch reported that Gintama is also one of the five anime titles that TV Tokyo will distribute overseas with English subtitles. TV Tokyo and Crunchyroll said that the website will move away from the user-uploaded content that have been its mainstay, and focus on "professionally-produced content […] approved by licensors." "

    EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!! lol
    Thank you TV Tokyo for doing the right thing!  Now we can finally start to see an improvement in the way anime is provided by the professionals.  I encourage everyone who is following any of these series through fansubs to switch to the official streams once they start in January- show your support for the legal providers!

  • I hope the professional translations will be at least as good as the fansubs.  (You'd assume so, but I've seen some that weren't.)

  • yay! even tho i piratemanythings i do use crunchyroll sometimes and if they got selections that are removed due to license issues to come back that would be great!
