Well speak of the devil… :laugh:[/quote]
You rang?? 
Coffee’s predictions are too far back. I wonder if there’s any other shows that could be licensed by Sentai still?
I’ll repost them for you.
[quote=TheCoffeeGod]
With today at a close and a couple more possibles announced, it’s time to make another round up for Sentai possibles.
Given this recent tweet from yesterday ( https://twitter.com/Sentaifilmworks/status/453645370598232064 ) there is indeed a chance that there’s more than the initial 8 ( https://twitter.com/Sentaifilmworks/status/449651130805399552 ) that they copped to.
Media Factory (pretty assured unless their pattern has changed)
● No Game No Life
Kadokawa (2 Kadokawa titles now on CR, they might actually have both or just one)
● Chaika -The Coffin Princess-
● Dai-Shogun - Great Revolution (also streaming in AU)
Showgate (the Showgate titles are questionable given the recent history of them, so I’ll list them “most likely” to “least likely” currently)
● Broken Blade TV Edition (for obvious reasons)
● Kamigami no Asobi (Sentai really seems to like otome adaptions & Showgate is a main supplier of those for them)
● Is the Order a Rabbit? (another super cute series also streaming in Taiwan)
● Black Bullet (don’t know much about this one, so I guess it’ll go here also streaming in France & Germany)
● The Comic Artist and Assistants (it’s a 13 minute series, so it’s last also streaming in Taiwan)
ntv (they have a slight history with ntv, with their Gatchaman Crowds license)
● La corda d’oro -Blue Sky-
● The World is Still Beautiful
YTV (they have a slight history with YTV, with their Hiiro No Kakera & Space Brothers licenses)
● The File of Young Kindaichi Returns
● Brynhildr in the Darkness
● MAGICA WARS
NHKEnterprise (they have a slight history with NHKEnterprise, with their Log Horizon license)
● Baby Steps
The rest that are currently on CR, they have no previous CR history with licensing from them.
So I’ll list them separately.
Dentsu Tec
● Blade and Soul
Seven
● Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san (3½ minute episodes)
Shochiku
● Captain Earth
Toei Animation
● Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro
● Majin Bone
Warner Japan
● JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
And the rest are either licensed by other R1 companies or accounted for or are children’s series and live-action.
There’s still some more to come on CR as well, but at this point, almost everything is accounted for (or skipped).
There’s really isn’t much left, only 2 series that haven’t aired and are unaccounted for.
-neither of which do I have the foggiest idea of who holds international rights-
- Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky (starts in -1 day & the YT PVs are posted by GustCorporation which is the Game IP holder)
- M3 ~Sono Kuroki Tetsu~ (starts April 21 so it’s probably too early to tell & the YT PVs are posted by M3-project, with YT music PVs/CMs posted by Flying Dog since they do the music production, but are actually the same 3 posted to M3-project)
Other than the Broken Blade TV Edition, it looks like they snagged all of the Showgate titles on CR this season.
One or both of the Kadokawa titles are a possible, but they might get announced at a much later date, just before they get solicited.
With Madman licensing Noucome & Yu-sibu recently (which are CR Kadokawa titles from the same season), if we include these 2 as Sentai titles, there’s really only 1 CR Kadokawa title Sentai hasn’t picked up either as a simulcast or off-season license (excluding the 2 for the current Spring '14 season) since they started using CR for their simulcasts.
Student Council’s Discretion Level 2
Which is also from the same season as Maoyu and Problem Children and all 3 also got simulcast on AoD for Free.
But it also has a 1st season on CR as well.
So, the Kadokawa titles are possibles but probably for much later.
Blade and Soul is really the only one left I have a strong feeling for.
The rest are too hard to nail down for me, since they really could go either way, either being licensed or staying CR streaming only.
Sony announces the initial Tornado Anime rankings for Spring 2014
*Published on April 20, 2014, by spartanchef
The 2014 Spring anime season is already upon us and surely enough, people in Japan are watching them not only in the TV’s and computers but also with their PlayStation 3 consoles using the Torne digital recording device.
Now, Sony has released the initial Tornado anime rankings for the Spring 2014 season which has recorded how many people watch which anime using Torne. Here are their findings:
-
Kamigami no Asobi
-
Ping-pong the Animation
-
Hitsugi no Chaika
-
Dragonar Academy
-
Nanana’s Buried Treasure
-
Is the Order a Rabbit?/ GochiUsa
-
One Week Friends
-
Knights of Sidonia
-
Selector Infected Wixoss
-
Black Bullet
-
If Her Flag Breaks/ Kanojo ga Flag O Oraretara
-
Brynhildr in the Darkness
-
No Game, No Life
-
Blade & Soul
-
Captain Earth
-
Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou
-
Break Blade
-
Riddle Story of Devil/ Akuma no Riddle
-
The Irregular at Magic High School/ Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
-
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
Unsurprisingly, Jojo takes the top spot in the Tornado Rankings beating out the highly-hyped new anime, Irregular At Magic High School which itself gets the #2 spot. Maybe this has to do with the fact that many people were turned off with Irregular At Magic High School’s incest tendencies?
One of the biggest surprises with the Torne rankings is that yuri anime Riddle Story of Devil takes the #3 spot beating out favorites like Black Bullet, GochiUsa and If Her Flag Breaks. Seems like 2014 is a huge year for yuri as 2014 has already produced 3 official anime from the Girls Love genre. Even so, Riddle Story of Devil’s high octane action and suspense have captivated a lot of fans, many of which have ignored the series’ blatantly lesbian relationship between the main characters.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the rankings is the exclusion of several big name anime series in the Tornado top 20. These series are Love Live!, Mekaku City Actors, Mushishi, Soul Eater Not! and Date A Live which came into the season with a lot of hype. Maybe people would rather watch these series in their computers or in their TV’s.*

I don’t agree with most of those.
And you don’t live in Japan.

Obviously.
Though that has never mattered before nor stopped me from posting my opinion on something.

They have names? 
I only recognize a few of these. The Black Bullet loli reminds me so much of Aria that I’ve just been recycling that name. It is easier lol.
The ‘Top 10 Spring 2014 Anime’ according to Recochoku
*The Spring 2014 anime season is already ready in full gear with many titles already halfway through their respective seasons. Japanese media website Recochoku has recently conducted an online poll and have announced their own Top 10 Spring 2014 Anime based on the results.
With a total of 1,620 respondents comprised of men and women from 10-50 years of age, 58.7% of which are female and 41.3% are male, here are their Top 10 Spring 2014 Anime:
-
Black Bullet
-
Still, The World is Beautiful
-
Kamigami no Asobi
-
No Game, No Life
-
Love Live!
-
Mekaku City Actors
-
One Week Friends
-
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
-
The Irregular at Magic High School
-
Hikyuu
With a majority of the survey’s respondents being female, it ain’t no surprise that volleyball anime Hikyuu takes the top spot as more than 90% of the female respondents have voted for the series. Other female-oriented anime like Kamigami no Asobi and Still, The World is Beautiful also make it.
The Irregular at Magic High School and Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, which are popular among the male respondents meanwhile make it to #2 and #3 respectively and are proving that they are worth all the hype so far. One Week Friends’ heartwarming story meanwhile makes fans of both genders agree that it is a good anime and it makes it to #4.
Mekaku City Actors, one of the most highly hyped anime of the season seems to have gotten over its poorly rated premiere episode and continues to capture the hearts of many audiences as it takes #5. One big surprise may be the fact that Love Live! only makes it to #6 and Black Bullet, which has been widely received by many anime fans, is only at #10. Big names like Fairy Tail and Dragon Ball Z Kai did not even make it to Recochoku’s top 10 list.*

Urepia ranks the Top 20 most interesting anime from Spring 2014
http://sgcafe.com/2014/07/urepia-ranks-top-20-interesting-anime-spring-2014/
So I finally went back and finished Dai Shogun Great Revolution and I have to say that I’m surprised that Sentai didn’t get it as it is right up their alley: It’s historical fiction involving Japan, has mechs, is zany, has a modicum of raunchiness and is borderline nonsense.
If Blade and Soul met Nobunaga the Fool halfway, this show would be fairly close to the result.
Hear, hear…I couldn’t agree with you more. In fact, while watching it I kept thinking to myself, “this is a spiritual successor to Godannar”. Even the MC, Keiichiro, reminded me of Kouji Tetsuya from Godannar.
So I say: Sentai grab it, get Matt Greenfield to ADR it, and Chris Ayres to star in it and you got yourself a sale.
