Always good to see more official subscriptions beside Viz/Crunchyroll in North America.

I see that you share some overlap with Crunchyroll's licenses but not all of them e.g. Attack on Titan but not Orange (is this a cost/popularity/publisher decision?). I also see that some series don't start at ch1 e.g. Grand Blue (I assume different publishers pre ch50?).

It's a shame the catalog is not that big yet. Here's hoping future seed rounds can raise more capital for licenses.

Hopefully you guys can pick up licenses for source material of currently airing anime too.




Both Crunchyroll and Azuki have Attack on Titan from Kodansha, but Orange is part of a different deal CR has. Sorry about the missing chapters on Grand Blue and some other series! That’s a licensing restriction on Kodansha’s end that we’re doing everything we can to change.
