I don't know why they're still doing that. It works for their originals and previously aired shows, but anime watchers don't want to binge anime, they want it when it comes out in Japan. It's especially puzzling because they're doing it weekly in Japan, which means they have the capability to do it. All it's doing is costing them money when people resort to piracy.

I don't know all the particulars of the situation, but it could be a "we don't want to rush a translation"-type situation. And given the quality of most simulcasts, I don't really blame them. I'm also not sure how much money it does actually cost them, it may be that there's not many people who don't have a netflix account but would get one if only they simulcasted show X.

Or maybe yeah they just have a flawed understanding of the anime market :shrug:

You didn't have to pay for speedsubs

Official DVD releases didn't use the speedsubs either.

Finally, my having never read or watched any Harry Potter pays off.

Excuse me LWA is way more like The Worst Witch than it is Harry Potter.

Joke's on you, I haven't seen/read that either!

That's cool but it makes me wonder why they romanized her name into Manbavaran instead of Mambabarang (they're the same in katakana).
