The great thing about manga liscenses is that you can see what manga is currently racking up enough sales to warrant an official English translation. And lots of sales = potential anime adaptation. Also it's fun to see what's popular in Japan right now!
I absolutely agree with you! Hope for more anime adaptations!

Good thing about Sentai is that their titles basically always get a blu-ray release, so I'll definetly be looking forward to Spy Classroom and My Life as Inukai-san's Dog.

Also I think it was announced a while ago that Giant Beasts of Ars will be the first ever anime co-produced by Sentai, so I'm curious to how that will turn out...
