Humberto Saabedra

Online streaming and distribution provider Crunchyroll has announced a long-term partnership with Japanese production and distribution company Pony Canyon to stream many of its titles on the bespoke service.

The first titles to be streamed under the new agreement will be the Steel Angel Kurumi series, which consists of the Steel Angel Kurumi and Steel Angel Kurumi 2 Shiki series, with the Steel Angel Kurumi Zero 3 episode OVA being made available legally outside Japan for the first time.

It should be noted that A.D. Vision formerly distributed the first and second Steel Angel Kurumi series before the licenses expired recently.
