In this thread, you'll find a comprehensive list of anime and manga licensed in the third quarter (Jul-Sep) of 2015. Summer anime which were licensed before the quarter began will also be carried over for convenience. Please note that the anime licenses are for home video release; simulcast acquisitions for Summer 2015 can be found here.

This post will be continuously updated as more licenses are announced. If you have a license that we are missing, please feel free to post it in this thread.

I expect Sentai to maybe license a few shows during the mid month if not later. Not bad though, I might pick up Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii in the future.

This is just wishful thinking, but I would love Viz to get Ushio & Tora. They haven't licensed many anime lately so I doubt it, but I can dream...

I didn't know about Animatsu yet though. I wonder how their prices compare to that of other UK distributors.

Seems like it's currently only licensed under Simulcast and not for home video releases.
