With us now in 2015, it is time to begin looking ahead at what this year has in store for us in terms of anime releases. Unfortunately January 2015 is a bit slow from the team at Madman Entertainment unless you like their more mainstream titles such as Fairy Tail or Naruto – with all releases except High School DxD New (Season 2) being hundreds of episodes into its series.
