Announced during their panel at Supanova Pop Culture Expo Gold Coast, Madman revealed several new acquisitions. The series acquired are:
My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU:
“Hachiman Jikigaya is a antisocial high school student with no friends or girlfriend and as a result has a distorted view on life. When Hachiman sees his classmates talking excitedly about their adolescent lives he mutters “They’re a bunch of liars”. And when pressed about his future dreams he replies “Not working.” However things start to change when a teacher forces Hachiman into the volunteer “service club” and he encounters the school’s prettiest girl, Yukino Yukinoshita.”
Sankarea:
“Chihiro Furuya is obsessed with zombies, to the point that he dreams of his first kiss being with a zombie girl. When he unexpectedly gets to know a sweet girl by the name of Rea Sanka they work together to resurrect Chihiro’s pet cat Baabu. But Chihiro soon discovers that Rea wants to escape from her responsibilities by becoming a zombie herself and plans to use his “resurrection potion” to do so.”
Psycho-Pass:
“It’s the near future where it’s possible to instantaneously measure and quantify a persons state of mind, personality and probability of committing crimes through a device installed on each citizen’s body called a Psycho-Pass. When a person’s “Crime Coefficient” index is too high the enforcement officers of the Public Safety Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Division are called in to pursue and apprehend the person in question, with lethal force if necessary.
