And here comes Sentai, gobbling up the CR catalog every season like they usually do. I swear they're in cahoots with them.

At least let Funimation get Maoyu for a change.

Oh man, I really hope they didn't break the bank picking up this one. Not like that would matter to Sentai.

-lol-
I swear, it's like people don't even realize, the reason CR has been cranking out simulcast titles for quite a few seasons now, is because Sentai licensed them before they were even announced on CR.
It's a very obvious unspoken relationship between Sentai & CR.

Considering Maoyu is one of the 5 titles streaming on AoD, it's almost guarenteedly a Sentai title.

Score! I think it's hilarious and will definitely buy it.

Hey, Sentai. If you're getting "riskier" titles, how about getting Kimi to Boku? Pretty please???

Not familiar with this show but I wonder how many of these new Sentai licenses are getting blu ray release?

Whichever ones do best in streaming numbers.

Since all three are listed as Showgate titles on CR, it might have been a package deal with Amnesia and Little Busters!.

I'm not saying this will be Sentai's top seller, but the show has a lot of shonen ai elements to attract the "fujoshi" crowd.

Or are picked up by other English language companies that are willing to help fund the production of a dub.

Hey Sentai, there's this pretty good show that's on Crunchyroll. Well, to be technical, it's the second season but the first season is still on CR as well. It's highly rated, well known, and hits both the male and female demographic. It'd be perfect for y'all! C'mon, sub only is fine. I just want to own it Anime cry

Uh is it? It seems to me that it is playing everything as a joke.

It's definitely a comedy, but notice how all of the main characters are males involved in various relationships with the other male characters? Inaba and Ogino (who IS married and a doting father) have a "special bond". Sasaki gets very jealous when other people are around Inaba. Lorenzo idolizes/is smitten with Don Valentino. And Ogata is smitten with Inaba and very jealous of Inaba and Ogino's relationship. Once again, I'm not saying the comedy will turn into a serious romance, I'm just saying it's laced with fujoshi candy.
