The official YouTube channel for DLE Inc. began streaming the first episode of the Q Transformers: Kaettekita Convoy no Nazo (Q Transformers: The Mystery of the Convoy Returns) anime on Monday. The episode is titled "30-Shūnen Shōhin no Nazo" (The Mystery of the 30th Anniversary Merchandise).

The episode stars Optimus Prime (Yoshimasa Hosoya), Lockdown (Tatsuhisa Suzuki), and Bumblebee (Ryohei Kimura) as they struggle with the Q-Transformers smartphone game. Lockdown asks about the trio's cute design makeover and Optimus and Bumblebee reply that it is to appeal to girls. Bumblebee has the idea to further market their franchise's 30th anniversary by doing a 12 Animals of the Zodiac tie-in, to which Lockdown replies they should just bring backBeast Wars instead. The group continues to speculate on how to make Transformers appealing to girls, including making themselves soft or participating in a romance triangle as young male versions of themselves. Bumblebee says about the latter that he definitely wouldn't want to see that. Then Bumblebee and Lockdown ask Optimus for a more serious idea, and he thinks hard but starts sweating, and the two ask if he's OK. He then asks the two to wait a minute, and the episodecuts to a promo for the "Q-Transformers" merchandise and game.

Anime Spotlight - Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! (Dec 17, 2014)

In the story, the high school "Earth Defense Club" is basically the "do nothing club." Club members En and Atsushi are soaking in the bathtub at a public bath when suddenly a mysterious pink creature, Wombat, appears out of thin air and asks, "I want to save this star... please would you lend me your power?" Then, Yumoto, whose family runs the bath house appears and chases wombat to give him a hug.

In school the next day, the remaining two members, Io and Ryū, also meet Wombat. Wombat gives all five of them bracelets and tells them to protect Earth. A dazzling light comes from the bracelets and envelops their bodies...

A ottobre, nel corso di un evento live trasmesso attraverso il portale NICO NICO, sono arrivare dettagliate informazioni riguardanti l'anime Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu Love! (Love! L'affascinante club liceale per la difesa della Terra) ovvero I cinque Liceali e la creatura rosa, che andrà in onda a partire dal prossimo gennaio.

La storia si incentra su un gruppetto di cinque liceali, En, Atsushi, Yumoto, Io e Ryuu che hanno formato il "Club della difesa della Terra" nel quale però in pratica non fanno niente. Un giorno, mentre En e Atsushi si trovano nel bagno pubblico gestito dalla famiglia di Yumoto, appare dal nulla una creatura rosa parlante di nome Wombat. Il giorno dopo, quando si riuniscono anche con Io e Ryuu, il Wombat dona loro cinque braccialetti e li supplica di aiutarlo a salvare la Terra. Ma come? Sicuramente se la dovranno vedere con il club della Conquista formato dagli aitanti Kinshiro, Ibushi e Akoya oltre che da uno strano porcospino verde...
