You may remember that last year Viz Media had acquired the license for Suisei no Gargantia and although they haven’t announced a release date yet for the series, they have done something to make the anime easier for fans to find. Today the company has placed all thirteen episodes of Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet on Neon Alley in their subtitled form.

This means that the episodes can be viewed for free from the company’s website or if you are a member of Hulu Plus then you can view them through any device that supports Hulu. While a bit rudimentary in storytelling, Gargantia was the best looking shows last year and follows the story of Ledo, a soldier from space who suddenly finds himself stuck on an ocean planet where humanity lives a peaceful life aboard a series of large ships. Knowing only war, Ledo must learn the ways of these people all while trying to find out how he might be able to return home.

In what will be a delight to quite a few people I know, Sentai Filmworks has announced that they have acquired the license for last year’s Love Lab anime adaptation. The series was previously only available through Crunchyroll and while the episodes are still available on the service, fans of the series will soon be able to own the series on home video. At the moment Sentai Filmworks has not announced a release window or whether or not they plan on giving the anime an English dub.

For those who don’t know, Love Lab was a rather hilarious comedy that takes place at an all girls middle school where after the tomboyish Riko says that she is “popular with the boys” is asked by the seemingly perfect student council president Maki to teach her all about love so she can find the man of her dreams. The only problem is, Riko has absolutely no experience with guys but how can she ruin her new friendship especially since Maki is ready to perform all different kinds of experiments to find love.
