In this thread, you'll find a comprehensive list of anime and manga licensed in the second quarter (Apr-Jun) of 2015. Spring anime which were licensed before the quarter began will also be carried over for convenience. Please note that anime licenses are for home video release; simulcast acquisitions for Spring 2015 can be found here.

This post will be continuously updated as more licenses are announced. If you have a license that we are missing, please feel free to post it in this thread.
