CrunchyRoll has announced that they are partnering with a number of Japanese companies, including GDH (Gonzo), otaku blog Akibanana (owned by Japanese media company GI Jane), DLE (a flash animation company best known for GI Joe and Transformers cartoons), and GTChannel (part of the Zigzag Asia Media Network).

The basics, of course, are that the companies will distribute some of their content directly to fans via CrunchyRoll.

GDH, meanwhile, has issued their own press release stating that they will distribute their content via CrunchyRoll, YouTube, and BOST, and the method of distro will vary per site depending on the site’s specs and whatnot; there will be some free streaming and some fee-based downloads. But this WILL include BOTH of Gonzo’s new April series, BLASSREITER and Tower of Druaga ~the Aegis of URUK~. And they WILL be subbed in English.

Which is some pretty sweet shit, let me tell you!

(Edit: By the way, GDH has been pretty busy– they’ve also signed a deal with Animax, too.)
