Why is this couple so happy? Possibly because they have a great relationship, also possibly the shirts. :open_mouth:

Sentai had an industry panel at SanJapan today, did they announce anything important? (I think it started an hour ago as of this post)

It started at 5pm CT (Sat) and, as far as I know, nothing big was announced.

EDIT
(except for this, of course)

This week sees the release of two shows form our catalogue: the continuation of the Space Brother’s saga in Space Brothers Collection 4, and one of the cutest shows of 2014 in Sakura Trick.

If you’ve been keeping up with our releases of Space Brothers, then col. 4 is a no brainer. If you haven’t Collection 1 is available, but make sure that you clear your schedule for a while because once you start up the engine son this show, you definitely won’t want to get off.

For those of you seeking something lighthearted and funny with a flowery, romantic twist, then Sakura trick is right up your alley. Two young girls take their friendship to the next level as the threat of being separated creeps closer and closer. Slice of lifers, this one’s for you.

Childhood friends Haruka Takayama and Yu Sonoda are finally entering high school, and although these BFFs are in the same class it seems like they’re beginning to drift apart. With a new group of friends, Haruka and Yu’s friendship somehow feels a little less special. In an effort to rekindle their best friend status, Haruka and Yu are about to take their relationship from friends to something more by sharing a kiss!

Q. How often is sentai going to answer questions?
A. So sorry for the delay! We usually try to have an Ask Sentai blog up every other week, but this past week we made our way to San Antonio to attand San Japan (which was a blast by the way), so last week’s Ask Sentai turned into this week’s Ask Sentai. So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you can expect an Ask Sentai blog every other week.

http://ask.fm/SentaiFilmworks/answer/128943755997
Q. Are there still old anime that is being picked up? Neighborhood Story? Skip Beat! Kimi to Boku? ect.
A. Yes, and I believe we have thoroughly shown that we are very much interested in older series with our pickup of the every elusive series Legend of the Galactic Heroes, which has NEVER made it to the United States. While I can’t say for certain that we have looked at the titles you suggested, I can say that we are constantly looking into older series for possible acquisitions.

http://ask.fm/SentaiFilmworks/answer/129384721373
Q. Why are some shows released with a dvd release first but the bluray release isnt for release until several months later?
A. I believe we’ve answered this question before, but I’ll fill you in on what goes on anyway. So, there is something called a “holdback period” that is sometimes added onto a title. What this means is that we are not able to release that title on Blu-ray until the holdback period is over. That period can be vary title to title, so in order to get a show out to you guys who are waiting for it, we sometimes release the DVD version first, as there are no holdbacks on those. We are continually working to keep these holdback periods from affecting our release strategies with our titles, so hopefully you will be seeing less and less of this occurrence in the future.

8/19/2015 3:37:16 PM

This week’s new release is a big one: the very first season of the classic series “Hayate the Combat Butler”. With our announcement of the Hayate movie yesterday, we now have the entire Hayate the Combat Butler universe under our belt. You can look forward to more releases in the series soon!

[size=16]Hayate the Combat Butler! (Season 1)[/size]
16 year-old Hayate Ayasaki is a part-time delivery boy who’s been poor for as long as he can remember. But when Hayate’s parents leave him with a mountain of debt, the Yakuza are soon hot on his trail, forcing him to flee from home. In an act of desperation, Hayate attempts to kidnap a young heiress named Nagi, but ends up rescuing her instead. Now, as a reward for saving her, Nagi has agreed to pay off Hayate’s debts under one condition— he must now work as her personal butler!

http://ask.fm/SentaiFilmworks/answer/129731222493
Q. Hey Sentai Filmworks, since you putting out show like Akame Ga Kill on toonami can we possibility see more shows coming in the near future like maybe old show or maybe action show. Example, DanMachi, GATE, or Ushio and Tora.
A. The next Sentai show to make its way to Toonami will be Parasyte -the maxim-, which we are all really excited about, we hope you guys are too! Beyond that, we’re not sure, but it wouldn’t hurt if you watched both Akame and Parasyte every week with us.

http://ask.fm/SentaiFilmworks/answer/129759691485
Q. I assume this is a very silly question but I am curious if there’s ever been a situation where someone catches you watching anime that hasn’t been licensed or acquired by Sentai Filmworks around the office. Is that a big deal, or are you guys just free to watch whatever anime whenever?
A. We all like anime here. While I’m typing this the girl behind me is watching Umaru-chan, I just had a nice chat with the guy who is subtitling one of our Summer shows, and I have the new episode of SCHOOL-LIVE paused and ready to go for when I finish up Ask Sentai.
I think that if someone ever wanted to watch a show that wasn’t ours here, it wouldn’t be a problem…but then again, we ARE at work, and for a lot of people it’s their job to watch our shows. While I don’t think it would be a big deal, it sure would be a waste of resources. :slight_smile:

http://ask.fm/SentaiFilmworks/answer/129829873373
Q. If a show you guys have licensed only has a sub release and a new season comes out, would you ever consider going back to dub the entire series, or ever just the new season? I’m really curious how you guys make these types of decisions. Much obliged Sentai-Sensei-Sama!!! =D
A. Would we ever consider going back to dub the entire series? Yes.
Would we ever just dub the new season? Never.
That would be a lost opportunity on our parts, and it wouldn’t make much sense to dub the second and not the first, as that would be a jarring experience for a fan of the series. I certainly wouldn’t like it. So, If we were to dub a show after the second season has rolled out, there’s an extremely high chance that both seasons would be dubbed.

http://ask.fm/SentaiFilmworks/answer/129921039069
Q. Is the Sentai social media guy the big dude that I’ve seen at Sentai’s panels over the years?
A. Ha! Yeah that’s me. I’m the big dude. Come say hi at our booth if you’re ever at a con we attend, we can talk shop. :slight_smile:

http://ask.fm/SentaiFilmworks/answer/130115431901
Q. If you were an Unaru, what would your blanket look like?
A. Like this:

http://ask.fm/SentaiFilmworks/answer/130115650525
Q. If you could only watch one anime for the rest of the year which would it be?
A. Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I think 110 episodes would keep me pretty busy, and the story is JUST. THAT. GOOD.

http://ask.fm/SentaiFilmworks/answer/130121748957
Q. I loved your booth at AX! The music was great too! Where can I get that soundtrack from your AX booth?
A. Actually, a LOT of people asked about the music at our booth and where they could get it. Our booth music was done by CRUSHWAX and you can buy his stuff here:
