Why is Hestia so popular?
My theory is because she has good dental hygiene.

Hey Sentai social media guy, do you have a favorite anime?
Yes, it is Love Lab. :) If you ever get a chance to pick it up, it will probably be your favorite anime too. :)

Are the changes of a series being licensed severely decreased when you don't announce the license to it right when it comes out seasonally? How often are shows that have already come out licensed?
No, the chances do not decrease in any way. Every title has a chance, even the ones that have been out for years. As for how often, we take a look back all the time! We recently announced a couple of titles, Guardian Ninja Mamoru and WIndy Tales, which were released quite some time ago.
One crucial, important question: What's the best thing about Hestia and her ribbon?
Probably what it's holding up. :O

Have you ever thought about licensing "Tonari no Seki-kun?"
I wish I could license this myself, haha! I absolutely loved it, one of the very few shows that isn't ours that I've watched all the way through. I love the short episode format, and the comedy was spot on. And just as an fyi, the Robot Family eps were my favorite. ;)

I know you've already licensed quite a few Spring licenses, but any more you haven't announced? You already announced Rin-ne, still crossing my fingers for My Love Story and Punchline!
Yes! We have a few more to announce...three if I'm not mistaken.
A lot of your licensed titles deliver value in its own way. But what titles would you consider as the most precious due to popularity and incredible story?
Well, the easy answer is to list out our top 10 biggest franchises. This is where you'll find your Persona 4's, your Log Horizons, your Clannads, and so forth.
As for which titles we think are most precious due to factors like popularity and incredible story, that really differs from person to person here. I for one thought that Humanity has Declined was one of the best shows I've seen in a while, along with stuff like the "ef" series and Shinkai's Garden of Words. Though I'm sure the people around me have their own opinions...maybe one day we will do a staff picks type of thing. Thanks!

I bought a copy of Saikano/She the Ultimate Weapon and the video does not take up the entire screen, as in there are black bars all around it. Do you know why, or is this only happening to me?
Good question! I went back and asked one of our production guys about this issue and here's what he had to say:
"The original Japanese DVD was 4x3 letterboxed. We matched the original Japanese release.
We could have cropped the letterboxing and stretched the show to 16x9, but the video quality softened and artifacts in the original masters were magnified. We ran tests and then decided to keep the original format."

when will you upload the content photos for the Knights of Sidonia Box Set?
We will have more info on the content as we get closer to release date. :)
Any ideas on when Blue Spring Ride is getting released? It's a series I really want to own :3
It's a little iffy right now. Usually it takes a little over 6 months after a show has finished airing for us to receive materials. Then our process goes into effect, which usually yields a release date for the title. Right now this title has not entered that process.
Do you plan on doing dub upgrades like you did with Maidsama,MM,Special A,Clannad,Love Chunibuyo and other delusions,and Maria Holic? A good example of a dub upgrade would be Golden Time . I love dubs in most of my anime.
This is always an option for us. If we see that any particular show is doing better than our expectations, and certain other factors are met, a show has a possibility of becoming a dub upgrade.

What happened with the physical release of Hidamari Sketch X Honeycomb? Why doesn't it have a release date yet?
There IS a release date for Honeycomb, but unfortunately it is an internal release date, which could change depending on a number of factors.
Why is it people ask about the number under the box for Chunibyo?
Every Chunibyo box set comes with a unique identifying number on the bottom that lets you know what set you got out of so many sets created. We've seen set stickers go into the low 120s and as high as 4000+. Still no 0666 or 0001 yet, though. :( If you ever buy a Chunibyo box set make sure to check and let us know what you got!

Why is it that you guys Dubbed the first season of Familiar of Zero, But the second season is only Subbed??
Actually, we did not dub the first season of Familiar of Zero, that was done by another company. When we rescued the show we also obtained the rights for the English dub that came with it.
Are there any plans for more Retro Game Master for North America?
Aww, sorry we don't own the license to distribute Gamecenter CX stuff.

When you pick up (insert title here) why do you immediately solicit for the month releases?
This only really happens for catalog titles (those titles that are not simulcasts here in the US), and usually it is because we want to make extra sure that we are able to release it in a timely manner without delay for you guys.
Who would win in the ultimate man-cat fight: Chaser John Doe from Dream Eater Merry vs. Nyanta from Log Horizon?
I'm gunna have to roll with Nyanta and his silky smooth English dub voice. It's like sipping on Irish coffee on a cold winter day...
Hey Sentai, are there any plans for making an awesome collectors edition (or at leastsomething like a limited edition, maybe with the soundtrack included in the first japanese BD volume) of Brynhildr in the Darkness? Would be awesome as hell, as I'm desperately waiting for some announcment like this
I really cant say about a collector's edition, but I CAN tell you that we have received the UNCUT and UNCENSORED versions of the series, so there's that to look forward to!
Any news about Akame Ga Kill?
Right now there's not much. We have, however, started talking about it internally, so hopefully some news will roll out soon!
Nyan-pasu!, Mr. Sentai Social Media Guy. Will Sentai fulfill my hopes and dreams by picking up Non Non Biyori Repeat when the summer season rolls around?
I'm really hoping for it, I'm in need of my Candy Store Lady fix...

Do you guys have any more license announcements during Anime Matsuri con? I really hope you guys license Kancolle, Hanayamata, When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace, Isuca, World Trigger, The Testament of Sister New Devil, and a bunch of spring season anime titles.
Yes, we will have quite a few announcements at Anime Matsuri, stay tuned!
Is there any possibility that your subtitles will be black, rather than yellow? I love your releases, but the yellow text kind of takes away from the experience for me.
I asked one of our subtitling techs this question, here's what he has to say:
We use yellow subtitles for better readability against any color on screen.
If the background is white, such as snow, clouds, walls or shirts the subtitles will be more difficult to read in the time it is on screen.
Also due to the DVD spec we are limited to using only four colors at a time: yellow, white, black and grey. We use yellow as the primary, white as the secondary and captions, black for the subtitle border and grey is a transparent background. This is carried over to the other formats.
We are starting to use colors in captions for BD and streaming but it has to be processed manually for each caption and the primary dialogue will remain yellow.

Do you have a general release date for Beyond the Boundary and/or K-On season 1. Both have been licensed for quite awhile but haven't had a proper update yet
We have a general release date set for BtB, yes. Unfortunately we aren't ready to announce it just yet. We've already released K-ON! Season 1 on DVD, and hopefully a Blu-ray release should be coming soon.
Where is Sakura Trick? I want to own the super adorable GL title. :3
Actually, one of our subtitlers is watching it right now as I type! I'm thinking soon. :)
