Edit 10/13/2016
I'm no longer going to be updating the table below (Last update was 5/21/2016 after I added the Madoka Blu-ray Box and Doukyusei Classmates) after maybe one more update or two. I'll leave it up (despite how messy it looks) so people can still see how long it generally takes for an Aniplex title to come out, and whether or not a show might not receive a release.
Aniplex's release timeframe has come under criticism recently, so I decided to figure out how they've changed over the years. Here's the timeframes.
