Grav's Thoughts:
Changed the layout of my list slightly since there isn't that much going for re-releases. For starters here are the airing dates for the shows:
Catalogue:
Gosick
Hyouka
One Piece
Autumn 2015:
Dance with Devils
Spring 2016:
JOKER GAME (Crunchyroll title)
JOKER GAME (Crunchyroll title)
Summer 2016:
The Heroic Legend of Arslan: Dust Storm Dance
Puzzle & Dragons X
Regalia: The Three Sacred Stars
Tsukiuta. The Animation
So we don't have any special sets out this month but we do have the rest of both Gosick and Hyouka sorted. There's also the second season of Arslan which is cool. Regalia gets an English dub which is surprising, considering the show itself had to reboot itself due to production issues. No surprise that Tsukiuta. The Animation becomes a subtitled only release because of the idol concept (male idol shows end up not getting a dub, the same goes for female idol shows sometimes as well).
Overall an okay slate, so here's what is left.
