###MEME MONDAY #14
5/15/2017 9:25:01 AM

You know what’s more pleasant than a Monday? A few things come to mind, like a manicure from the When They Cry (Higurashi) girls… or an umbrella accident on the stairs… or even a parasyte invasion. Okay, we might be overreacting to Mondays in general, but what can we say: we’re more of a Tuesday kind of people. Only memes can save us from this dreary day. Who relates?


###TUESDAY NEW RELEASES: GIRLS UND PANZER DER FILM
5/16/2017 9:22:54 PM


###Girls und Panzer der Film Theatrical
When the Ministry of Education goes back on its promise to keep Ooarai Girls Academy open, the task of saving the five-mile-long Academy Ship from the wreckers falls to Miho and her barely-seasoned tankery team. However, things go off track almost immediately. While the Oorai tank crew may have won the high school tournament, they’re now facing a larger and more experienced university team, and if they fail, their armored vehicles will be forfeit! Will they be swapping their tanks for the memories? It’s possible, but winning a tank battle is all about tactics and teamwork, and the fledgling Ooarai students have more friends and allies than anyone suspects. Get ready for another high-caliber round of the only sport where “having a blast” doesn’t necessarily mean you’re having a great time, as the Ooarai team puts everything on the line in GIRLS UND PANZER DER FILM!

Q. You said you’d reveal some new dubs if your FB page reaches 100k likes, if you don’t reach that goal when can we expect those announcements to come?

A. We have faith. But if we don’t reach it, it means you guys will have to wait more


###6 DANDERE CHARACTERS WE WILL PROTECT AT ALL COSTS
5/19/2017 7:46:14 AM

What does dandere mean? They’re the girls who struggle with silent pauses, awkward moments, blushing cheeks, and quivering voices that make you want to protect them. With great subtlety, these rosy tint characters are selective about who they will open up too, but once you gain their trust, they flourish.

###Nagisa Furuwaka (Clannad)

Nagisa is extremely shy and doesn’t have much self-confidence, but that doesn’t stop her from motivating herself, especially when food is involved. A subtle personality, she would do anything for the people she cares about.

###Mio Akiyama (K-ON!)

Mio’s an introvert, and will faint at the thought of being the center of attention. When Yui lost her voice, Mio took her place to help out her friends. Although her performance left her a little traumatized afterwards, she didn’t hesitate to help a friend in need.

###Nono Natsume (Urara Meirocho)

Nono is used to looking to her sister when she can’t handle a public situation, usually followed with stuttering and rosy cheeks. Throughout the series, we see this delicate flower strengthen her resolve for the sake of her friends!

###Kirie Motoba (Himouto! Umaru-chan)

Sometimes talking to people is hard… sometimes all you can do is talk to children. Kirie’s fear of people tends to take over, and she’s left unable to talk to her classmates This changes when she meets Umaru’s chibi mode under the alias Komaru. Who knew lazy Umaru would be such a good companion to a dandere character?

###Hotaru Ichijou (Non Non Biyori)

Going to a new school can be an awkward and painful experience, but when your classmates are friendly, they can placate that fretfulness. It also helps that Hotaru only has four classmates and lives in a countryside with a view that leaves you breathless.

###Yukika Amami (My Love Story!!)

Love is a brave endeavor, Amami showed her inner strength as she battles her shyness to confess her feelings for Suna, with a little help from Takeo and Rinko. Her blushing exterior and modest nature captivates us, as well as her sincere feelings for a boy she can’t help but watch from afar.

###blushes and stutters awkwardly
This list of dandere characters includes girls that are too precious for the world, and their humble demeanors would make anyone want to protect them. Share your favorite awkward precious ones with us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. (Make sure you @SentaiFilmworks so we can see it!)

I’m actually not that surprised by Chihayafuru getting a dub, though it seems quite a few others are. Im excited to see how they handle it.


###TUESDAY NEW RELEASES: MOMOKURI COMPLETE COLLECTION
5/23/2017 10:01:35 AM


###Momokuri Complete Collection
For the longest time, Yuki Kurihara has been obsessed with Shinya Momotsuki (aka Momo), and her crush is a little more extreme than writing his name surrounded with dozens of hearts in her binder. In fact, Kurihara does things outside the realm of a typical high school girl… like secretly following him, taking pictures of everything he does, and collecting anything he happens to discard and drop. The funny thing? Despite being considered rather cute by most girls, Momo is relatively inexperienced with the opposite sex, explaining why he misses the warning signs of her fixation. However, now that he and Kurihara are going out, is it possible that a little obsession might not be such a bad thing? Love can be strange, and it’s about to get even stranger in MOMOKURI!

###ALL THE WEIRD HOLIDAYS HIMOUTO! UMARU-CHAN CAN MASCOT FOR
5/26/2017 10:55:43 AM

We might be exaggerating when we say “ALL” the weird holidays Umaru Doma, the star of Himouto! Umaru-chan, could mascot for. That lazy little cola-drinking secret otaku has so many quirks that she just fits into so many weird national and international holidays.

###Opposite Day (January 25)

Like most weird holidays, no one really knows the origin of opposite day, which is good because no one understands the physics of how her transformation works either. Considering that little Umaru is the EXACT OPPOSITE of refined Umaru, we feel like she fits the bill for this day.

###National Potato Chip Day (March 14)

No brainer. The girl is known for her love for potato chips. We wholeheartedly vote for her as the official mascot for this day. Who’s with us?

###National Siblings Day (April 10)

This one is for you, onii-chan! It must be tough being a big brother to the little creature you come home to, but if we’ve learned anything through the course of the series, we know she loves you. Sometimes.

###National Have a Coke Day (May 8)

There might not be a certain caramel-colored branded soda in the Umaru-chan universe, but there is PLENTY of… (wait for it)… COLAAAAAAAAAAA. Yes, this is a real “weird” holiday that exists on the interwebs, and you are welcome to Gaggle it.

###Geek Pride Day (May 25)

Even though she won’t show it in public, we know in our hearts that UMR is a proud geek, just waiting to make her debut. This might be one of the best days of the year as far we’re concerned for anime geeks, and we’d stand behind Umaru as mascot for it.

###National Junk Food Day (July 21)

To be fair, that’s like EVERY day for her. We’ve seen the insane spreads of the junk food connoisseur in action. You have to perfectly pair your snacks and eat them in the right order to get the most out of your experience, after all.

###Video Games Day (September 12)

Count us in on a holiday to celebrate video games! Count in Umaru and Sylphyn too. Big Brother Taihei, not so much. He is, after all, the reason behind one of our favorite screenshots: “YOU DEAD”.

###All Weird Holidays are for Umaru!
We’re positive we’ve missed a few, but that’s where you come in! What wacky Umaru-themed holidays did we miss? Let us know on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram, and make sure you @Sentaifilmworks so we can see it.

Q. Is all the anime you’ve licensed this season a timed exclusive on anime strike or permanently exclusive to the streaming service?

A. Exclusivity to any platform is determined on a case by case basis, and is usually for a set amount of time. The length of time can be anywhere from a few months to a few years, depending on the contract.

Just a note that the 2 Hulu Exclusives Chivalry of a Failed Knight and Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle were for 1 year


###TUESDAY NEW RELEASES: HIMOUTO! UMARU-CHAN
5/30/2017 4:47:44 PM


###Himouto! Umaru-chan Complete Collection
To her classmates, Umaru Doma appears to be the perfect girl. She’s beautiful, friendly, and fashionable, earns top grades, and seems to be able to do any task asked of her with ease. She’s even humble and polite! However, if Umaru’s classmates could see her in the privacy of her home, they wouldn’t even recognize her. Once she’s inside the door, the pretty clothes come off, the orange hamster hood goes on, and it’s time to pig-out on snack foods, binge-watch television, and play violent video games! This version of Umaru is everything that the public Umaru isn’t: she whines, rolls on the floor, leaves messes all over the apartment, and makes life miserable for her poor older brother, Taihei. Even the most guarded secrets have a way of being found out, and, as Umaru becomes even more obnoxious and outrageous, her two lives are bound to collide in disastrous fashion in HIMOUTO! UMARU-CHAN!
