| Nice, this thread is up. Hmm, I heard Funimation spend quite a budget to license Boku no Hero Academia's streaming, video, and merchandising rights. |
 |
| Hopefully Funimation releases BDs in NA fast :D |

Still waiting if they licensed the series I guessed ahead of time Funimation definitely has more Spring titles they just haven't announced them. They had their podcast yesterday and all people could get from them is "they will be announced soon" and "licensing is complicated". So just a little more patience and hopefully we'll get our line-up especially since there are quite a few animes that haven't been grabbed this season still. |

| The one i am mostly waiting for is Boku no Hero Academia. GIVE ME HYPE |
| Yikes. |

| MVM have licensed: Log Horizon s2 They'll also be releasing Chobits and Serial Experiments Lain on blu-ray, which has only had a DVD release (from MVM) in the UK in the past, and have relicensed Tenchi OVAs (I think they're referring to this: http://myanimelist.net/anime/539/Tenchi_Muyou_Ryououki) (They also announced various release dates for previously announced series. More announcements to come tomorrow. (source for Log Horizon: https://twitter.com/MVM_UK/status/736216264159469568. Other things can be found on their twitter account.) |

| Re:Zero has been licensed already? Excellent news, definitely makes up for the rest of the announcements which don't really feature too much of any interest for me. MVM have also licensed GATE and Monster Musume, btw. |
They were announced at MCM last October. |
