Lance N' Masques got an update? That means a possible Summer or Fall contender then.

Pretty excited about some of the Spring titles in particular Ninja Slayer, Kyoukai no Rinne (TV), etc. The Project Itoh films are also interesting based on premise.

So does Ninja Slayer being a NicoNico/ONA thing stop it from potentially getting licensed in NA?

Not at all. It's going to be streamable in NA regardless. But the English streaming section is currently greyed out on the official website, so it's possible that it's part of the upcoming CR/Funi simulcasts.

Anyone else feels like the title "Nisekoi:" sounds incomplete? Are they going to add another title word after ":" or just leave it as it is? O.o

Been hyped for Project Itoh and still is! I'm expecting all the movies to turn out amazing! Will definitely check out the manga adaptations.

Just depends. Since it is getting a TV broadcast in 2016 it may be bumped to simulcast then.

Grisaia no Meikyuu is actually just one hour long and won't be a TV series with a hour long first episode? Lol, haven't read this one so I don't know but yeah, I'll still watch it and who knows, maybe it'll be decent.

Glad for news on Project Itoh.

Keeping an eye out for Lance N' Masques, the key visual did have like 10 girls around the MC so it's probably more typical LN trash, we'll see.

And isn't Nekota no Koto ga Kininatte Shikatanai just a special it says TV series there.

That's good to hear, I'm hoping more that it still is eligible for home video license though. (in the event that I enjoyed it)
