At least most if not all of these shows are on HiDive.

I'm a bit concerned.

Food Wars! and Non Non Biyori stand as two series which are not available on HiDive in Poland (I mean, only about twenty series are, but that makes sense as it's a US-centric service), but are available on Crunchyroll in Poland. It'd be a sad loss for the region, after we scored a minor win with Funimation's more "global" licenses unlocking a few shows for us with the ongoing merger.

Thankfully Hidive has alot of these - otherwise it would be seriously disconcerting (actually it is anyway.). That is a mass exodus of alot of great titles.

Ditto to my country. I was interested to watch Non Non Biyori but looks like I may have to watch it on non-legal sites because most animes in HiDive are region-locked in my country, thus Non Non Biyori on HiDive will be region-locked in my country.

This is pretty expected, Sentai is gonna try as hard as they can to stay relevant in the shadow of post merge Crunchyroll

Hopefully for our oversea friends HIDive can add the appropriate license so you can watch it there. As for the rest of us not much of a concern since they have the better video player and last time I checked a bit cheaper. Only thing I don't like about HIDive is that you must resign in every time (Rightstuf has this same problem).

Removing Non Non Biyori from anywhere should be a crime.

"Wakaba Girl" & "Wish Upon the Pleiades" are also scheduled to leave on March 31 in their respective territories (they are already unavaiable in the US)

For those worrying, the majority of these are on retrocrush for free with ads. Aling with a bunch of other Sentai shows.

Not surprised. Sentai/HiDive's best strategy right now is to try to get as much exclusive content as they can. Having some of their best shows available on CR & Funi makes it that much harder to do that.

Oh boy HiDive/Sentai is doing a number on Sony, thought this would happen but man CR is losing a lot of amazing titles, won't affect the high seas though Laughing
