Arakawa Under the Bridge;
Apocalypse no Toride;
Kamisama no Iutoori Ni;
Madan no Ou to Vanadis, I wish they would license the LN too;
7th Garden, good art and interesting characters;
Akatsuki no Yona;
Haikyuu!!;
Dimension W;
Overlord;
Psycome, I don't know if this is popular in Nippon, but I didn't expected this one to be licensed, but I did expect a anime adaptation, I guess it won't happen since the LN is over;
Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu;
Fruits Basket;
and
Yet another acquisition from Seven Seas (they're really going all out with these licenses aren't they?) in the form of NTR: Netsuzou Trap Yuri
>NTR
NO

Also a reminder that this thread will stop updating in a bit more than a week, in preparation for the Q1 2016 license thread. Recent acquisition of Winter 2016 anime titles will be brought over to the next thread for convenience. Feel free to post the titles in this thread though!
