Well aside from Kizu here's what's left, all from Monogatari series: Final Season:
Koyomimonogatari
Otorimonogatari Volume 3
Zoku-Otorimonogatari
and Orokamonogatari (Monogatari series: Next Season) - LN's out 6th October this year.
A new trailer for the Ajin film popped up in my youtube recommendations, if anyone's interested.
Can't say I'm massively impressed by the CGI, but having no prior knowledge of the story, I was amused at how much the trailer makes it look like the plot is borrowed from Akira.

At this point I think we all know it's coming right at the end, some kind of 'lets show how it all started at the very end thing'
I suppose it's always possible they'll release it in November alongside the figure http://myfigurecollection.net/item/98667, they've been working on it for so long I can well imagine it'd be good to go for a cinema release at any time and it's not like they need a massive amount of time to advertise it given how popular the series is and how long everyone has waited for this movie

Well I'm definitely excited. So long as it's their A team and not their Ninja Slayer team then consider me hyped!

The rumours are true, Manglobe has filed for bankruptcy. It has not yet been confirmed if work on Genocidal Organ has been completed, but some articles are suggesting it hasn't.
As expected the comments are all stupid, apparently people haven't yet twigged that animation studios do most of their work for hire. The problem is probably that they didn't attract enough work, not that the work they did didn't sell well (although that might be why they didn't attract enough work).

I've only ever seen (most of) one of their shows, Samurai Champloo, and I really wasn't keen. I noticed they do have a few titles I have been meaning to watch though.

Real shame about Manglobe, Samurai Champloo is one of my favourites, loved Ergo Proxy & Michiko to Hatchin - currently enjoying GANGSTA. too.

Given that @Anime has the French rights I wouldn't be surprised if Andrew has them, specially when he's really excited for Empire of Corpses.

People are upset about a Gamergate reference in a dubbed episode of Prison School. ""Have you got a stick up your ass? Are you one of those GamerGate creeps?" FUNi have taken it to heart and responded with the most ridiculous non-statement on the matter ever (which to fair, is about all the response it deserves).
The GamerGate folks would like you to know that this time it's not about ethics in journalism, it's about "production quality". They're upset FUNi has included a pop culture reference that will soon be out of date (because it's not like the rest of the show is full of those or anything :roll

). I don't think inserting a personal opinion about such a volatile topic into someone else's work is a good thing to do. Zac from AnimeNewsNetwork summed it up best in a tweet:Given the way the writer of the line has responded to the controversy on Twitter, I wonder whether the intention of the line was to provoke as opposed to anything else. Especially considering that to be honest, if you're going to include a jab at GamerGate into a dub, Prison School is hardly going to be the show with an audience that will appreciate it.

I personally don't see dubs as translations, they're more interpretations. As long as it's not massively out of keeping with the author's intentions and the tone of the work (and I don't think that line is), I don't see a problem with it.
Somebody at Showgate must have approved the dub script, so we can only assume nobody in Japan had a problem with the change either...

As Zac pointed out in a subsequent tweet, due to the timescale of broadcast dubs and deadlines, it's actually more likely that the Japanese side weren't consulted to approve every line of the dub script. I think it will be interesting to see what happens in regards to the series' home video release, because I doubt anyone on the Japanese side will be happy with the results of a "Prison School" search on Twitter thanks to that one line.
I personally hope that the line is replaced with a more literal translation for the home video release, for no reason other than cutting off any association whatsoever between the series and GamerGate. I've seen FUNimation criticised not only by supporters of GamerGate who feel that the line is a jab at them, but also by opponents of GamerGate for giving the movement recognition, as well as just for being Prison School. So I don't see how the situation is anything but a lose-lose for FUNimation aside from getting more people to talk about the series (albeit it in the way we are doing now).
