Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory Trailer

One of Logan and I’s favorite anime’s. I am definitely excited about Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory. This series has a little of everything adventure, some comedy, and love story. The animation for this series has always been of high quality as well. This is one that I would recommend for your personal collection and libraries to consider for their anime collections. Thanks to FUNimation’s YouTube channel for the following trailer:

The Ancient Magnus Bride Trailer

The Ancient Magnus Bride looks to be a nice adaptation of the manga by Kore Yamazaki.  Looks to be a nice blend of fantasy and drama that could go deep into character.  Here’s the trailer through FUNimation’s YouTube channel:

Assassination Classroom Trailer

FUNimation has picked up the distribution rights to Assassination Classroom live action movie and will be releasing it later this year.  I always like watching the live actions compared to the anime or manga, just to see what differences they made in the live action production.  Anyway here’s Assassination Classroom‘s trailer through FUNimation:

Monster Hunter Stories Ride On Trailer

Monster Hunter Stories Ride On Part 1, is the next season of Monster Hunter Stories from FUNimation.  The animation done in this series is reminiscent of something you would see in Digimon and Pokemon.  It looks geared for younger anime fans, but before you let younger fans watch you might check it out first just to be safe.  It looks fun and with the mini-dragon concept I can see young fans eating this series up.  Here’s the trailer through FUNimation’s YouTube channel:

Bungo Stray Dogs Trailer

A new supernatural  series is coming from FUNimation entitled Bungo Stray Dogs.  Looks interesting to me and might be one to consider for your anime collections.  Here’s the trailer through FUNimation’s YouTube channel:
