FUNimation have announced their release slate, which includes the debuts of OniAi Jormungand, Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero (L.E) and Fairy Tail the Movie: Phoenix Priestess, and the next installments of One Piece , Fairy Tail and Aquarion Evol (L.E).
Here are my choices picks from the new slate.
OniAi

Although things are fine at first, Akiko begins to express her incestuous love for her older brother, who only sees her as his little sister. From the images online expecta lot of fan service and laughs.
