All the Titles Fit to License, 2013 Edition

5 Comments

We are posting this list a little early in the hopes it can be helpful to people making year end lists and the such. We’ve included all anime, manga, artbooks, light novels, and successful crowdfunding projects for the U.S. on our list. We’ll update the list as the month goes on in case companies have some holiday surprises in store.

There were nearly 200 anime licensed or rescued in 2013, pretty incredible. And almost half of those were from Sentai Filmworks. Big light novel pick-ups were some of the surprises this year as well as AnimeSols dedication to bringing us classic anime. As for manga, we got over 150 titles this year! And Seven Seas wins the prize for licensing the most manga based on Alice in Wonderland.

As always, let us know if we missed anything.

Leave a comment

narutaki_icon_4040 A rather mixed bag this month with a little bit of everything celebrate in each category. I was excited to see a little more information come out regarding the next Detective Conan movie.

hisui_icon_4040 I still say Six God Combination God Mars is the oddest title here. But good to see Space Dandy is on track to be HUGE. Hopefully it will live up to expectations.

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

Introducing A Chapter a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

hisui_icon_4040 Every once in a while we like to try to add new content to the site. I recently got a tablet with the ability to record video and so I was thinking if there was anything I could do for the blog with that. Now that combined with the fact that we recently started a YouTube account and we have reduced the written post schedule I want to do something that would add to the daily content on the site. Thus was spawned A Chapter a Day Keeps the Doctor Away.

The idea of the series is that I attempt to read a chapter of manga every day and then do a five to ten minute video review about what I felt. With Crunchyroll Manga and Weekly Shonen Jump releasing manga chapters online day and date with Japan it seems like the perfect time to start such a series.

I make no promises on releasing a video every day, seven days a week, but that is the plan. Theoretically I should be able to record a few videos whenever I can and then release them once a day.  Kate has already suggested maybe I only do it five days a week. We shall see how well that works.

Also the series I review is hardly set in stone. Hayate the Combat Butler, One Piece, and Yamada-kun and the Seven are fairly certain but other than that I will mainly just talk about whatever strikes my fancy. I am still taking suggestions, as well as looking at what people react well to.

Other than that I will try and post what I have recorded each week on the blog on Fridays so you can just pick what you want to listen to from a convenient list.
