User blog comment:Prophet of Sanghelios/Dattebayo To Drop Bleach, Crunchyroll Aiming To Gain License/@comment-1351982-20100526195342

I am not surprised about this. I have been hearing some things that viz is planning a same-day simulcast with Bleach with their viz anime site powered by Hulu. Warner Brothers (Viz's anime distributer) has been pushing Bleach a lot over the last few months. I am seeing a ridiculous number of Bleach internet banners and when DDR came to the states last year there was a HUGE Diamond Dust Rebellion Display at my local Best Buy. Plus WB gets money from dvd sales so this is likely an attempt to stop piracy and to make money. If they were smart they would have next day download and you can buy an episode say for $1.99 in the best quality available without waiting for a torrent and legally. Plus when I got season 3 dubbed a few years ago on Itunes I got an exclusive 2 part Tite Kubo interview. So there are more benefits from itunes and dvds so they should take advantage of that.
