The May 2013 Line-Up

May 31, 2013

AnimeSols is really the most exciting thing happening in May. But there are plenty of little gems, too.

Another eclectic month in licensing but little new streaming news. It seems that the U.S. companies are getting much better at get titles quickly. That is a good things as the longer titles are in limbo the more likely people are going to just start watching the fansubs.

The Line-Up is a monthly rundown of newly licensed in the U.S., newly streaming in the U.S., and newly announced anime and manga projects.

The Fourth Brethren of the Coast Podcast

May 27, 2013

One of the oldest conflicts in anime fandom is the fact that fansubs helped spread the popularity of anime in the early days of the hobby. And to that point how relevant are fansubs to an industry where 90% of everything is simulcast in English and classic series are being license recused all the time?  Are there still titles that can be ethically fansubbed? Or is watching any show just dirty piracy?

Sean Russell from Anime 3000 gathered together Sean Ryan from Alpha Counter as well as both Reverse Thieves to discuss the remaining times where watching less than official subs may still be a grey area.

The April 2013 Line-Up

April 30, 2013

This is one of those months where most of the news I remember is related to the new season of anime, like what titles are simulcasting and what Sentai Filmworks has decided to grab up (practically) sight unseen.

In this new digital world, if your are not licensing things almost immediately, you’re licensing them too late. That is the currently reality. I am wondering how quickly this will happen with manga that still has breathing room.

The March Line-Up 2013

March 31, 2013

I feel as though this month was one of unexpected (sometimes exciting, sometimes head-scratching) announcements.

Being between seasons this is a slower line up. As Narutaki mentioned this seems to be the month that Sentai Filmworks just stuck their hands in a hat and randomly pulled out titles to license. I half expect them to announce the Japanese dub of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic just to round things out with titles no one expected.
