The North American distributor Funimation announced on Friday that its Funimation Anime video-on-demand content is now available on the Charter cable service nationwide in the United States. Charter subscribers have three forms of access to the channel: five episodes per month at no extra cost; a limited amount of episodes and live-action films on demand starting at US$0.99 each; or a subscription to all of the channel’s content for US$6.99 per month.

Episodes from the following series are currently available for free on demand: The Sacred Blacksmith, Shikabane Hime: Aka, Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~, Trigun, and Eden of the East. A listing of premium offerings has been posted to Funimation’s blog.

In comments on the announcement, the FUNimation Channel also indicated that it “will have more launch announcements in the coming months.”

The Japanese rock band ROOKiEZ is PUNK’D posted on its blog on Saturday that its new song “Song for…” will serve as a “fitting” ending theme song for the Bleach anime’s final season. However, the band has since removed the mention of Bleach anime’s final season from its blog post, although Google retains a web cache of the original post. The song will be the ending theme of the anime starting on Tuesday.

Could it be possible that the band actually let slip the Anime was ending and then noticed their mistake? Honestly as I’ve said all along, with the end of Aizen coming soon and that arc being done in the manga, it’ll actually be a perfect place to end the Anime and then pick it back up again later on down the road when the manga gets far enough ahead to prevent to use of adding a hundred more filler episodes.

So I honestly do believe it will be ending, and if it doesn’t, well it should have.
