No? It's still licensed under Japanese companies that are much more strict with DMCA than other countries.
Not so long ago an anituber that was just reviewing episodes / anime and had half of his channel removed by toei under copyright, I didn't follow it after how it unfolded but it's not a good idea.
You reminded me about this tweet by this
Twitch streamers watching anime on stream don't know what they're poking. I've seen JP companies strike down their own authorized collab videos before. Good luck explaining streaming culture and potential marketing benefits to a Japanese CEO who still wrangles with fax machines.

the bit about faxes always get me, how can it be both a highly technologically creative country while being so adamantly stuck on the past technology and business models. like uh yeah streaming the actual episodes is probably never going to be a thing, but maybe they'll finally understand what a review is. I have now a good mental image of them trying to dmca roger ebert over his review of spirited away.
