Like
House of Five Leaves,
Youjo-han has been
licensed for streaming by Funimation and will appear on its
site. The first simulcast will appear a week from today.
I wonder if this represents some sort of commitment to Noitamina by Funi or just a one-off deal. Most Noitamina shows remain unavailable and largely unknown in R1 because few of them have gotten licensed. I find it remarkable that successful franchises like
Nodame or shows like
Mononoke which had strong Japanese DVD sales never appeared in R1.
Will Funi simulcast the live-action
Moyashimon that is coming up this summer? They've shown more interest in licensing J- and K- dramas recently.
