@Slowhand shouldn’t this be moved to the Other Anime section? Unless this is secretly Sentai’s big Announcement for Anime Expo this year.

If I were Sentai, I’d at least look into it. That would steal a bit of Funuimation’s thunder from the Summer Simulcasts, and with Funimations continuous problems getting the 3.33 movie released, it might be a good idea, or save the cash and go after 1 of the bigger titles for Fall 2015.

Let me do some digging around.

EDIT: Moved to Other Anime.
