Ah I see. I thought they won't be continuing the project if crunchyroll airs it.

Sentai is on a roll recently. I'm sure I'll enjoy Sasami-san (given that it's SHAFT), so all three of these are shows I wouldn't mind getting.

Now if only Sentai gave all "digital outlet" titles to CR at the least ... as, let's be honest here, Crunchy's site is pretty solid, and TAN's is... almost as bad as Funimation's.

Let's talk about production committees and something called "international rightsholder." Tamako Market has international rights held by a company called TBS, which Sentai is on amazing terms with. They're able to secure simulcast rights to the show with disc rights. Hyouka's international rights are held by a company called Kadokawa, which did not go through in time for simulcasting purposes. Sentai Filmworks constantly licenses shows, but does not announce their license until they are ready to solicit said show. Considering that Hyouka is still being released in Japan, they are not ready to solicit this series (if they have it). Thus they'll remain quiet on the announcement front until they can solicit it. The license is in a state similar to Schrodenger's cat: it might be licensed, but Sentai cannot announce it at this time or it might not be licensed. There is no rule saying that Sentai had to license one or the other; they may have BOTH! We just may not be aware of the other due to rightsholder/company trends.

Except Hyouka is more then just moe stuffed in our faces. There's Chitanda of course, but there's actual good characters like Oreki, Satoshi, and Mayaka who don't just exist for moe. Hyouka has cute character designs. Moe Market is K-On in a market.

Didn't say there was a rule. That's just my own personal preference is all.

It gives you low hopes for the series when you start watching, and then bam!
If you don't dislike animes that started off bad, then go for it.

Wait for Refrain. If they adapted it right, you can't stop your curiosity to check since it will be a HUGE buzz. If internet filled with total disappointment posts, don't bother to check the series.

Telling people wait for Refrain is like telling them to get more torture(Depends on how do they feel while watching it) until they got enough either to drop it or to continue it.

"Wait" here is the same as "Don't watch the show (if you don't feel like it) before Refrain aired."

What are you even doing Sentai? Acchi Kocchi wasn't too popular if I remember and Sasami could be a flop, not that Shaft does flop anytime but still.

Sentai's summary on MAL said:
And their prankster friends Mayoi and Sakai aren't much help.
Sentai's apparent inability to spell character names correctly doesn't exactly fill me with enthusiasm for this release.

Everything that connects to MAL

Contains Ecchi, but not Tagged Ecchi: Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3
