With the first day of Wai-Con 2014 coming to a close, Madman Entertainment have confirmed that six anime acquisition announcements were made during their panel, all for release at a later date in the year. While specifics for each title are yet to be determined, you can expect to see the following on store shelves sooner rather than never:

Robotics;Notes

Kaito and Akiho dream of building a giant fighting robot based on a super-popular anime, but that’s going to be impossible if they don’t get more members into their school’s Robot Research Club. They’ll take anyone they can talk—or force—into joining them, including an eccentric robotics champion with a secret identity and a l33t video-game designer who’s spent one too many late nights online. Finally, their goal looks like it’s within reach.   But when a sentient AI program tells Kaito about mysterious documents hidden on the internet, things start to get strange for everyone. As the club members track down the secret messages, they realize that the information might be far bigger—and more dangerous—than they expected.

Severing Crime Edge

Kiri Haimura loves cutting hair.  Actually, he doesn’t just love cutting hair, he obsesses over it and even has a special set of scissors he delights in using.  But when his mane obsession for a bit of trim draws him to Iwai Mushanokōji , whose long hair has never been cut, he finds himself entangled in a situation no shears can hack him out of.  Because Iwai is heir to a strange curse that makes her hair impossible to cut.  Or, at least, until Kiri’s clippers take off a lock, thereby revealing that his scissors are cursed as well!  But now that she’s shorn free, Iwai has a slew of “murderers” after her, each armed with their own cursed implements and eager for the chance to kill the “Hair Queen.”  And if that’s not enough to make Kiri wig out, it seems that many of them actually attend his own school!  Will this evil crew cut in on Kiri’s Hair Queen, or will he snip their ambitions in the bud?  The worst hair day ever turns into the ultimate series of close shaves, distressing situations and, yes, brushes with death in SEVERING CRIME EDGE!

Dog & Scissors

Harumi Kazuhito was the ultimate bookworm, spending days at a time with his head buried in his beloved books, and little could make him happier than perusing the pages of his favorite author, Kirihime Natsuno.  Unfortunately, Harumi’s life goes to the dogs, literally, when he gets himself killed while trying to stop a robber!  Thanks to the power of a true bookworm, however, Harumi inexplicably finds himself reincarnated as a dog… which might not be so bad if dogs could READ.  Or if the woman who adopts him didn’t have twin predilections for playing with scissors and tormenting her new pet! But what truly makes this strange reincarnation the worst of all possible worlds is that she’s also his FAVORITE AUTHOR!   The horror!  Can Harumi find a way to live with this tantrum throwing typist, or will her crazed clippings prove to be his undoing?   Can he escape her constant hounding via the doggy door, or is he barking up the wrong tree?  There’s a rough, rough time ahead as canine compulsive readers and literary she-wolves get snippy with each other when doggies do what they gotta do in DOG AND SCISSORS!

Nobunagun

Shio Ogura’s world changes forever when her school trip to Taiwan is interrupted by a surprise monster attack! Her life is miraculously spared by the arrival of a clandestine government agency that battles the army of monsters with weapons possessed by the spirits of historical figures. Only a select few, the E-Gene Holders, are capable of harnessing the power of this supernatural weaponry, and Shio’s valiant attempt to rescue a friend reveals her as one of the chosen few destined to play a vital role in the war to save humanity!

Fantasista Doll

No one ever knows what life has waiting in the cards for them, but for Uzume Uno, the surprises aren’t just in the cards but also in what comes out of them!  Through a strange quirk of fate, this typical junior high school student finds herself in possession of a mysterious deck of cards from which five magical girls known as the Fantasista Dolls materialize!  By playing the cards in different combinations, Uzume can equip the “Sistas” with an amazing variety of costumes and weapons.  Which is going to come in extremely handy, as a new danger that only the Dolls can stop is coming to threaten the Earth!  Will Uzume be able to deal with both the Dolls odd demands AND the fate of mankind resting on her shoulders?  Or are the odds hopelessly stacked against her?  With the future of everyone she knows and loves riding on her, Uzume’s going to have to learn how to play the hand she’s been dealt pretty quickly, because while she may know when to hold them, folding them isn’t going to be an option with the world at stake in FANTASISTA DOLL!

Hentai Kamen

Crooks and creeps of all stripes, fear the Masked Pervert! This justice machine, born to a cop father and a dominatrix mother, becomes almost invincible when he covers his face with panties. If he activates the power of his ass-crack by transforming his underwear into a thong with suspenders, you’ll certainly come face to face with his crotch! He dodges bullets by adopting alluring poses, and can incapacitate even the most dangerous opponent with his flying bondage technique. If by some miracle you manage to hit him, he’ll ask for more. Aw, yes! You don’t want to rub the Masked Pervert the wrong way!
