Looking forward for these licenses, specially:
Arakawa Under the Bridge;
Apocalypse no Toride;
Kamisama no Iutoori Ni;
Madan no Ou to Vanadis, I wish they would license the LN too;
7th Garden, good art and interesting characters;
Akatsuki no Yona;
Haikyuu!!;
Dimension W;
Overlord;
Psycome, I don't know if this is popular in Nippon, but I didn't expected this one to be licensed, but I did expect a anime adaptation, I guess it won't happen since the LN is over;
Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu;
Fruits Basket;
