Two more classic Toei titles added to Crunchyroll

[Satoshi-chan]

Two old Toei series from 1978 have been added to Crunchyroll, and those are Captain Harlock and Galaxy Express 999.

Both were uploaded by Toei Animation, and are completely legal to watch. For anyone interested in some classics, here you go.

Viewing is limited to US and Canada as of currently, but perhaps later it will be viewable for folks in other countries.

Hm. I've been meaning to watch some of Matsumoto's old work (after seeing one of his Daft Punk videos- his style is amazing), so this is nice.

Are these free, or are they for the subscription service?

Thanks for sharing! Yes it's free.

Captain Harlock? Fuckin' awesome. =D

Been wanting to catch that for a pretty long time now.

Everything on stupid Crunchyroll is limited to US and Canada. You're dreaming if you think that will ever change.

I hate Crunchyroll.

It would be great if CR, or some other up-and-coming website, would work with the other Toei subsidiaries. I wish you luck on that front, guys.

Not everything is limited to the US and Canada, though most of what isn't is the stuff you have to pay for, I'll admit. Still dramatically cheaper than it would have been to buy the DVD's, and it's more profit for the anime companies who then don't have to print DVD's (which is not all that cheap a process in their kind of limited runs).

And in some cases it cuts out the middleman (the US Licensing companies) and the money goes straight to the companies that actually MAKE the particular programs.

Also, there are a decent number of programs that are watchable outside of the US and Canada, and some that are watchable by everyone except for Japan.

All of Toei's stuff is limited to US and Canada, though.
Ah well, that's what God invented proxies for.

THAT'S the ticket!

Both of those are really good. The Galaxy Express 999 movies were pretty good too.
