Yukari Tamura as a narrator that's interesting especially since she did something remotely similar back in her younger days (she voiced your operator in the Japanese version of the first Armored Core).

Deteriorating health is a bitch. At least he is on hiatus for legit reasons and not because he became obsessed with idols.

Grisaia no Kajitsu has been confirmed to air on October 5th.

So Isuca got an update recently. Based on that, it'll probably air during Winter if not sooner. I highly doubt Fall though. Still no official animated PV of World Trigger yet but I'm not expecting animation quality to be top notch. Given that time slot as well...

And Hunter x Hiatus isn't the only one with a break I think. The Railgun manga also is currently on break/delayed. Should that be included as part of the news too?

Wait, is this actually confirmed for Spring 2015? I noticed that the news source on CR didn't list it as Spring. It mentions "March" which is a very odd time to be an airing date. I didn't see another source that lists KnB Season 3 to air during Spring.

This is what I got from ANN:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-08-20/3rd-kuroko-basketball-season-release-month-not-announced/.77831

Unknown season/month.

We already announced the season, so the exact date is something for the anime entry and isn't really newsworthy.

Since the chapter was supposed to appear in the issue released on August 27th and it's already September 1st, we figured that the news was minor and users up to date with the series would already know the chapter didn't appear in the mag. If the chapter was supposed to have been released next week, for example, we would have still included it.

March = Spring season (i.e. end of March or early April). Looking at the scan that CR included with the news though, there is no mention of March. Perhaps the author mistook the 3 in 3rd season as March. Will correct it now, thanks.

I'm convinced Girlfriend producers have a checklist of popular female VAs to cast. How many characters does the show have anyway O___o
