Apparently Crunchyroll is quite fond of exclamation points in anime titles. Word on the Anime on DVD forums, and subsequently ANN, is that Durarara!! and Chu-Bra!!, both brand-new anime about to start airing in Japan (see my winter anime preview for more details), have been spotted on the Crunchyroll front page. As of my own viewing they were no longer listed, so it looks like a possible slip-up? Durarara!! currently has a page on the site but no videos, so it could easily be user-added; Chu-Bra!! does not have one as far as I can tell. <object height="518px" width="640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0YVNwzhaR78&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0YVNwzhaR78&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="518px" width="640px"></embed></param><param value="transparent" name="wmode"></param></object> <object height="393px" width="640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/raXlYYSI-wE&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/raXlYYSI-wE&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="393px" width="640px"></embed></param><param value="transparent" name="wmode"></param></object> So, what do we think? There's still been little word from Crunchyroll about their upcoming simulcasts, but my optimism pushes this one forward. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "when P-chan flies" and 10 being "it already happened last week," I'll hover this one somewhere around 7 or 8. It seems unlikely to me that the series would show up on the front page if Crunchyroll hadn't put 'em there. I really, REALLY want to see Durarara!!, so I hope it's true!
