Nisemonogatari's Episode 8 was the only one to have a toothbrush scene as far as I know, which in all honestly was pretty epic to watch.
Sentai have (sort of) announced four new licenses for the US. The question is - which are they?

Yup. How long have I been saying this?
True - I've heard some reasons offered for why this isn't feasible. However, those reasons boil down to 'we can't sell it to everyone, because it's Japanese' or 'People don't like robots' or 'people don't like cartoons'.
An that, right there, is as merry a bunch of straw men as you could hope to see in one place.
Promote it, take some calculated risks, merchandise it... it has to work somehow.

FUNimation have posted an official response to this news now. I guess they're in the same boat as Anime Limited; a local distributor waiting for Crunchyroll to get organised and let them work together.
It's pretty cunning of FUNimation to pass the buck in the middle of this uproar as it will mean a thousand raging fangirls are now penning messages to Crunchyroll's licensing team and telling them to sort their issues out. Perhaps we will benefit from this too.

The fact that they also said this:
Makes me curious. This show could get released faster than I expected.

I'm not sure it's even buck passing, it's just making it crystal clear to fans that might want to rage at Funimation that this situation is actually in the hands of Cruncyroll, only they can decide to get it ready for home release. It is clever of them to add they have approached CR with an offer to work together as that really puts all the pressure on CR and possibly prevents them from going to another dub studio as fans will want consistency between seasons.

Hmm, kinda clever of sentai, 12 titles, and they have 4 of them, let the speculation begin

I would totally buy Miracle Train.
I wonder though...why do Crunchyroll have the home video rights to Free! Iwatobi Swim Club? Could it have been an error in the fine print when they obtained the simulcast license, or could they be planning to enter the home video market again, following 5 Centimeters Per Second?

A lot of licenses have their rights sold as whole-packages. Digital rights and physical distribution rights together. Usually a company that wants some of these rights but not others will try to sell on the rights they don't want to use to someone else. Quite a few of CR's simulcasts come from Sentai Filmworks in this way.
Good news! Kodansha Comics have announced they will reprint the Parasyte manga.
Meanwhile Crunchyroll managed to get 2 One Piece x Toriko crossover episodes (One Piece episodes 492 & 542).

Nice, I do have the tokyopop version but lets face it, it's flopped and TP didn't do that great a job (one character did change name translation part way though!)
SHAFT/Monogatari production continues with Tsukimonogatari.
Tsuki (Yotsugi Doll) is the 13th Novel in the Monogatari series, after Koimonogatari (Hitagi End), and the first arc of Monogatari: Final Season.
In case people are confused, the Seasons are:

So in this context 'Season' is more like batches of episodes I guess? Curious that Bake and Nise are considered to be two parts each, and can we even consider Kizu to be part of the First Season when it looks like for all the world that it's probably going to come out last/never?
And since I posted you added an extra season to your quote too !!
Also, random thought, why do sword art online arc announcements get spoilered when we can lay the whole of monogatari out like this?

With my current monogatari knowledge afaik only Kizu and Neko Black are out of sequence, being prequels to Bake.
This reminds me of Dark Horse and their Graphic Novels, sure it was cool each book had it's own name but it took them years to realise adding a volume number to the spine was a good idea so people knew what order they actually went in.
