A lot lot lot going on this month, and not just simulcast news either.

Another season another slew of new licenses. I’m actually much more surprised about the series that were picked up that are not from this season.

The Line-Up is a monthly rundown of new anime, manga, light novel, artbook licenses, streaming/broadcasting announcements, crowdfunding projects, anime/manga projects, and live-action anime/manga adaptions.

• Black Bullet – Sentai Filmworks
• Captain Earth – Sentai Filmworks
