TUESDAY NEW RELEASES: ARMORED TROOPER VOTOMS OVA 1 (Maiden Japan)
May 14, 2019
They may be encased in suits of powered armor, but the soldiers who wear a VOTOMS unit in battle are simply serving the purpose that infantry has always served in war: to take ground and hold it, no matter what the cost. Combine that mission with the explosive fuel mixture and thin metal of their powersuits, and their chances of survival are decreased rather than enhanced, and only a handful will live to fight again. But of that elite group of survivors, a few will become legends. Return to the universe of the most realistic mecha warfare ever animated as the beachhead established with the epic 52-episode ARMORED TROOPER VOTOMS widens into a full scale invasion of spectacular and previously unreleased original video animations in ARMORED TROOPER VOTOMS OVA COLLECTION 1!

Welcome back to senryu school! Last time, Sentai-senpai told you about “on” and how it relates to haiku and haiku rules. This week, we’ll dig deeper into some other haiku rules, and then we’ll tell you how senryu breaks those rules and carves its own path. Hold onto your poetry hats, people!

Yamishibai is peculiar, since Sentai only has 2 seasons in their catalogue. Isn’t there over 10 in total?
Sadly, my dream is the same unfulfilled one as @Series5Ranger…
Called the Golden Time Dub a while back 
There’s 6 seasons with 13 eps each.

Wonder what will be next ? They have a lot that could get a dub ,but thinking what’s left a dub would get more sales out of a title to justify it ? Another thing is I’d like to see them take a certain highly requested show with mecha that has a dub and try to release it on Blu-ray . Also still curious what the fate of the Bandai titles they picked up ages ago are . I’m sad to say kind of hoping they let them go so maybe Discotek can get them as heard the video was a mess on a few and don’t think Sentai or others have the skills to fix them . No offense to their video guy or girl .

TUESDAY NEW RELEASES: SAGRADA RESET & LAND OF THE LUSTROUS
May 21, 2019
The ability to reset time might seem like the ultimate superpower, but if you forget what was going to happen when you reset it, how would you know what you needed to change? Or if you’d make things better or worse? That’s the paradox that faces Misora Haruki until she’s paired with Kei Asai, who remembers everything, even if they happened in timelines that have been reset. But there’s still a catch: each reset point can be used only once and anything that happens in the 24 hours before a new one can be set will be locked in time forever. In a town where a mysterious agency seems to be controlling everything from the shadows and everyone has unexpected powers, the lives of Kei and Misora’s friends and classmates will depend on how carefully they can use the SAGRADA RESET.

No matter what the odds, life will find a way to continue, with young Phos and the other gems as the ultimate proof. Instead of flesh, their bodies are made of living crystal, allowing them to survive in a world too toxic for any human. But their gem bodies also attract a terrible danger: the Lunarians, who hunt the gems and use their shattered forms to fabricate jewelry and ornaments. The gems with the strongest forms defend the others, but Phos is too weak and brittle to fight. Instead, Phos is ordered to compile an encyclopedia; but could that research discover hidden secrets that could help the gems? Join Phos, the toxic Cinnabar, the powerful Bort, the valiant Diamond, and others in a glittering world unlike anything you have seen before: the LAND OF THE LUSTROUS!

TUESDAY NEW RELEASES: KÄMPFER
May 21, 2019
Natsuru used to dream about being a real lady-killer, but being turned into a Kämpfer, a female fighter who’s supposed to fight and kill other girls in combat, was NOT what he had in mind! To make things even more complex, (s)he’s only a girl part-time and (s)he’ll be moving in with three other gorgeous Kämpfers (who are all actually all woman all of the time), for mutual defense. And the fact that more than one of them may have less-than-honorable designs upon Natsuru’s alternating sexualities couldn’t possibly be a problem, could it? Of course it could, and things REALLY get hopping when Natsuru has to take a job at the Bunnygirl Café! Find out what happens when getting in touch with your feminine side becomes a full-contact, no-holds-barred, battle to the death in Kämpfer!

Some people may consider anime a shallow medium. “They’re only cartoons, right?” these people might say. “They’re fun to watch and follow, but at the end of the day, that’s all there is to them.”
People who assume this simply couldn’t be more wrong — especially if they’re talking about Land of the Lustrous .
Like many of our favorite titles, the Land of the Lustrous anime is more than just an interesting and aesthetically brilliant story. If you pay attention, there are multiple layers to peel, and hidden secrets to unravel in the glittering, sentient Gems who populate this series’ mysterious world.
You’ve probably noticed that all of the Gems are based on real minerals, but their association with their namesakes go far beyond their rating on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Certain aspects of the gems’ properties and structures have influenced the traits, appearances and personalities of the character Gems, and all it takes is a little research to find a fascinating new layer hidden underneath the obvious.
Sound interesting? We certainly think so, and if you do, too, join us for a look at the subtle science and hidden meanings behind the gems that make up Phosphophyllite and other Land of the Lustrous characters.
As always, minor spoilers!

This is interesting… which means that the 2 previous posts (By Blake Shepard and Jay Hickman) may be about Food Wars S3 and not Phi-Brain S3.
The case is getting stronger as Christina Kelly, is in the dub of Food wars as well

June is Pride Month, and Pride Month is all about celebrating the way LGBTQ+ people have impacted the world. It’s a time for being true to yourself and shouting (or whispering) your identity to the masses, to give hope to people who don’t feel ready or safe enough to come out just yet. Your voice is important, and we hope that this Pride Month offers you community, affirmation, and a whole lot of rainbows. 
Wondering how you can celebrate Pride Month as an anime fan? We’ve compiled a list of six dubbed LGBTQ+ anime on HIDIVE for you to watch in the coming weeks. Whether you’re LGBTQ+ or a straight ally, we think you’ll find something to love on this inclusive list.
(Relevant History Fact: June was chosen as Pride Month in honor of the Stonewall riots, which kickstarted the modern gay rights movement.)
Note: Spoilers Ahead…

Does Sentai not know that it is 2019? “Not that there’s anything wrong with that!” was 26 years ago, DADT was repealed over 7 years ago, Obergefell will be 4 years ago later this month…
After Funimation stepped on one big time recently by getting political, I’m nervous about seeing other anime companies going into the political minefield.

In a world eerily similar to our own, war between the Kingdom of Honneamise and its archrival, The Republic, seems inevitable. But even as the two nations’ rapidly evolving technology creates new ways to wage greater and more deadly forms of warfare, a small group seeks to use those same advances to propel mankind forward into the future and into space in their world’s first manned spaceflight program. For astronaut candidate Shirotsugh Lhadatt, it’s not just a journey beyond the reach of the atmosphere, but a personal odyssey as he grows from an aimless young man into a leader willing to put everything on the line in order to move the human race forward and away from the brink of Armageddon. Prepare to witness the legendary film that revolutionized the anime industry, launched the careers of dozens of today’s animation superstars and put Studio Gainax forever on the map as one of Japan’s premiere production houses. Staggering animation, brilliant storytelling and a scope that goes beyond epic combine to produce an emotional powerhouse that will send your spirit flying towards the stars with THE ROYAL SPACE FORCE: WINGS OF HONNEAMISE!
