While there's no source that says LB Refrain will be 2-core yet, I heard that the show might be a one-core. I did recall that Rita posted a twitter possibly hinting the show for a 2-core but she later deleted her post.

Tokyo Ravens is 24 episodes. 8 BD/DVD volumes.



EDIT: Update to Initial Post:

The title on the picture and one of the tags is La Espada Sagrada and the publisher is Yowu. ANN has it under its Sacred Blacksmith page as the licensor of it in Spain. Of note, Yowu also licensed Dance in the Vampire Bund and Familiar of Zero for Spain.

According to the .rss media restriction list, yes ~ Latin America & Iberian Peninsula:

cours ... its from the French, since "season" is confused in the US between the seasons of the year, like anime, and the episodes from a single year in a US television series.

Ah, so that's what that "Sorry, due to licensing limitations, videos are unavailable in your region." message looks like.


(says me, a privileged North American)

The hilarious thing though is that anime cours are actually seasons... you know, winter, spring, summer, fall! While a US Television season is... a year! Well, they only have one television season a year anyways, fall to spring with the summer off. I just find it really funny that we have found another word for season for something which is more like an actual season.

You can still watch it on Funimation as a privileged North American! With an Elite membership you can even hear it dubbed... well, first couple episodes are the free gateway dub...

As a Canadian, I can see that message 363(how many days is that weekend again) days a year... for 5cm/second et al. Luckily I have it on Bluray...

will pupa be airing?

The website says it's out this fall. Date is still "To Be Announced"

I think that's only getting a net broadcast for now, and won't be on television (and eligible for an overseas simulcast) until later.

Sentai Filmworks adds 3rd season of Phi Brain:

Not surprising, but certainly nice to know since I bought the previous two seasons. Also FWIW, Sentai's PR states that the 3rd season is 25 episodes.

On another note, I just finished up the last of the summer shows I was watching today, so I'm ready to start on fall stuff. I'm looking at 24 shows this season, and only 1 isn't on CR (Coppelion).

Not a new show, but good news for those in the USA regardless, Daily Lives of High School Boys has been made available for streaming by NIS on hulu. Also, any non-premium CR members who want to watch episodes 3-12 of Ghastly Prince Enma Burning Up can now do so on hulu too.

4 TBD boxes have been added to the Catalog titles section in the Lineup page(h/t to TheCoffeeGod on Fandom Post).

It's very possible that we could get a few NIS America titles since Daily Lives of High School Boys and Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl are both available to hulu(thanks hatguy for the NichiBros tip). Other possibles include season 1 of Infinite Stratos,and the previous two seasons of Hajime no Ippo and I wouldn't discount the possibility of Dream Eater Merry since the series page was briefly visible.

Im still working on summer shows.... ._.

Well, given that the all 6 episodes have a countdown for today, it looks like the OVA series Shamanic Princess is one of the catalog title boxes.

There are also 3 live action shows/movies from the same publisher that in today's count down, so that could be all 4 catalog boxes (I didn't check if any of those 3 live action shows might be new drama simulcasts).

EDIT: to include link to the post in the news forum. Also the question mark catalog boxes on the lineup page have been filled in with the four titles. So we're back down to zero unfilled boxes.

There was actually a fourth live-action movie added: Posession
I don't know why it wasn't announced with the others.
