Licensing GET: Crunchy, Sentai get Tempest, Panzer, moreAnother wave in the flow of licensing and streaming announcements is here, right on time for fall's high-profile shows to start airing. This time we've got new entries from both Crunchyroll and Sentai. Right in the wake of Sentai's recent "grab everything" maneuver, Crunchyroll's revealed some of its acquisitions, including future MMORPG promotion anime Ixion Saga DT, cold fish meets hot blood anime Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (renamed to My Little Monster) and melodramatic apocalypse anime Zetsuen no Tempest (renamed to Blast of Tempest). They'll also be airing the next season of hot dudes anime Hiiro no Kakera, butler tsundere anime Hayate no Gotoku: Can't Take My Eyes Off You, and a bunch of remastered Gintama episodes (which will apparently be mixed in with completely new material). For its part, Sentai continued to warm my moe moe machine-loving heart by announcing tank driving anime Girls und Panzer. And on the Asia-outside-Japan front, the cable channel Animax Asia has secured a simulcast deal for expensive seiyuu anime K. Fellow other-Asians will be pleased to know that K will be broadcast with English subs, rather than having Animax Asia's "quality" dubs inflicted upon it. That's a significant part of next season's offerings, though it's worth noting that a few high-profile titles are still unacquired, including Gen Urobuchi anime Psycho Pass, Arabian shonen anime Magi, K in North America, and high school robot anime Robotics;Notes. Then again, there's quite some time before some of those titles air, so there's time for more pickups. If you want more information, check out Japanator's Fall 2012 Preview Guide! Part one is over here, and part two is over here. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
