Aoi Hana Snatches First Summer Simulcast

A simulcast! Wooo!



Via Okazu -- Crunchyroll is apparently getting ready to offer up the first simulcast of the summer season (at least as far as I'm aware), the anime adaptation of the yuri-themed Aoi Hana manga.

Not only that, it's going to air in less than four hours from the time that I'm typing this. And yet, no press release or anything. Sneaky!

That said: I was a bit worried when I realized that I didn't know of plans to simulcast ANY of the new summer shows, a big change from the last couple of seasons-- Ristorante Paradiso , Saki , Natsu no Arashi , Shangri-La , these are just a few of the simulcasts from spring.

The second cause for my worry was that perhaps Japanese companies had pulled out in the wake of the One Piece simulcast debacle, so I'm VERY glad to see a summer simulcast at last! Perhaps Crunchyroll has just been waiting for Anime Expo to unleash a few more simulcasts on the world?

Okay, how many of you are going to watch the episode when it goes online?

WOOT! I'm loading it up in 720p as we speak.  Finally CR is getting something other than Natsu no Arashi that I like, or haven't seen. (though I do need to check out Shangri-La)

Thanks for the info Gia!

This came out of no where. But I signed up for Crunchyroll so I could check the show out since I enjoyed the manga.

Dig Deeper into CrunchyRoll

Originally created as something of a specialty YouTube for anime and other Japanese media and consisting primarily of illicit fansubs, in 2008 CrunchyRoll established deals to legally distribute some popular anime series simultaneous to their Japanese airing. In 2009 they will remove all fan-submitted content.
