Ask John: What New Anime is Coming Soon?

Question:
Could you provide a run-down of what new anime series will be coming out translated in the future?

Answer:
Here’s a list of all of the anime titles that I could think of that have been licensed for US distribution but have not appeared on the US market yet. Since I compiled this list mainly from memory, there may be some omissions on it. At the bottom of the list, I’ve taken the liberty to add a few predictions- shows that I anticipate getting licensed for US distribution within perhaps the next year. My predictions aren’t based on my own personal preferences. I’ve only seen half of the titles listed. I just think that these shows will make it to the US based on a combination of their marketability in the West, their quality, and the history of anime releases in America.
