What is a simulcast?

A simulcast is when a show is shown at the same time - both the original country it's airing at and wherever else at the exact same time.

Places like 'http://www.crunchyroll.com' and 'http://www4.funimation.com/video/' are doing simulcasts of many fan favorite anime shows with english subtitles, which are streaming online on their websites for free.

Crunchyroll simulcasts:

Available to people in the US, Canada, UK, Australia only. (well for now at least until they get more regions)

Crunchyroll both offers -

paid anime membership
$6.95 /month or 59.95 /year for simulcasts.
With this you are able to view their anime on the exact same day as Japan, and in High Definition + no commercial interruption.

free membership:
With this you can view them 1 week after they have aired in Japan, and in Standard Definition, + some commercials.

Funimation offers their same day simulcasts for free on their website, but available to US and Canada only.

Even after the simulcast is over for THAT said episode, you can still view it whenever at your convenience.

Description: To all the Beyblade anime fans around the world:

My name is [your WBO username here] and I wanted to tell you that the WBO is having a petition for getting either Crunchyroll, Funimation or Nelvana to do a same simulcast airing of the Metal Fight Beyblade anime in Japanese with english subtitles.

3. Share it with all of your Youtube friends and subscribers!

4. Post a link to your uploaded video in this topic:

5. GO SHOOT...

Geez, you guys are lazy. Upload it already, it's worth a shot, right? Though, Dranzer, what happened to Brad doing the video? :X

Well, since Brad was sick at the time, I told him that i'd do it for him.

It keeps telling me that there is a problem with the description I enter though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qQsaAGKf...annel_page

Not available to me but I still did it to help ...

this is mine right here:

Kai-V, that's weird that it says there is something wrong with your description.

Here's mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4mA-hjiy3k
(just uploaded so it will take a few minutes to process)
This sounds like a good idea.

Another way besides the video is to sign up for an account at funimation's forum, post your reply in this topic:

topic title "Metal Fight Beyblade simulcast, maybe..."

if we get enough people to request it, then this might happen.

Done. Hope they decide to do it.

if Funimation picks it up, then that will be a good thing. I hope they do... *crosses fingers.

Uh, since when does Funimation have anything to do with Beyblade? I know they released a few G-Rev DVDs, but surely this is something that Nelvana would have control over, not Funimation. Funimation doesn't even have any rights to MFB.

Funimation don't have to have the dubbing rights to simulcast it. Just look at Crunchyroll, they don't own the rights to Naruto, but yet they have the rights to simulcast Naruto Shippuden. Mostly what is required is getting a hold of the company that owns it, the Original TV station it aired on, etc.

Didn't see any particular reason not to do this.

heres mine

Done -

And Also, it seems that people didn't put "same day" in there title. Should I remove it?

no, leave it the way it is. you don't need to change it, it's fine the way it is.

You know why this isn't going to work other then the fact that it's an online petition, right?

Since Nelvana has the rights to Metal Fight Beyblade now, they'd be the ones to simulcast it if they wanted to.

The first step of this petition is done, so now on to the second step, emailing Nelvana Limited.

webmaster@nelvana.com

or mail a letter to:

NELVANA LIMITED - TORONTO

Subject: online same day simulcast of Metal Fight Beyblade petition

Dear, Nelvana

I'm grateful that you're going to be bringing Metal Fight Beyblade here in english speaking countries. It has around a year or so to go before the english dub will air. For people who want to watch the japanese version in the USA, Canada, UK, it would be interesting if you did a same day online simulcast of Metal Fight Beyblade with english subtitles. Many of us fans of the anime would love for this to happen. This would help get even more fans for the show.

Sincerely, DranzerX13

Ah, i'm late, but oh well. Might as well post it anyways. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP_vWxo8K4U
