Crunchyroll and Funimation have announced a slew of new series coming to their Spring 2018 anime simulcast line-up. While there's no official word yet from Crunchyroll on which regions these will be available for there are some clues in Funimation's line-up (due to the pair's close relationship similar region restrictions can be inferred). This means some potenital bad news for Full Metal Panic fans...
Confirmed for both Crunchyroll and Funimation are:
Synopsis: The dark untold story of Steins;Gate that leads with the eccentric mad scientist Okabe, struggling to recover from a failed attempt at rescuing Kurisu. He decides to give up and abandons his lively scientist alter ego, in pursuit to forget the past. When all seems to be normal, he is seemingly pulled back into the past by meeting an acquaintance of Kurisu, who tells him that they have begun testing a device that stores the memory of a human and creates a simulation of them with their characteristics and personalities. Okabe begins testing and finds out that the simulation of Kurisu has brought back anguish and some new unexpected tragedies.
Zero is a side story that explores events from the Beta Attractor Field's future that contribute in making the end of the original story possible.

What awaited Sugimoto, who stepped into Hokkaido’s Gold Rush with dreams of making a fortune at a single stroke, was a tattoo map leading to a hidden treasure based on hints inscribed on the bodies of convicts in Abashiri Prison?!
The magnificent nature of Hokkaido vs vicious convicts and the meeting with a pure Ainu girl, Ashiripa!! A survival battle for a hidden treasure hunt begins!
Synopsis: Thousands of years into the future, humanity has advanced into space, where it has divided into two countries with two different forms of government: the autocracy of the Galactic Empire, and the democracy of the Free Planets Alliance. These two countries have been at war for 150 years, turning the galaxy into a stage for a never-ending series of conflicts.
As the long war continues, both countries fall into decline, with the Galactic Empire suffering corruption among the noble classes, while the Free Planets Alliance falls victim to the mob rule of democracy. Then, near the end of the 8th age of the space calendar, the appearance of two geniuses will change history forever. The ever-winning genius, Reinhard von Lohengramm, and the never-losing magician, Yang Wen-li. As heads of the Imperial and Alliance armies respectively, the two will face each other in battle over and over again.

Interestingly this one has been confirmed by Funimation as coming to Crunchyroll, but isn't actually mentioned on the Crunchyroll announcement.
Synopsis: Dragons, beasts, and a unique brand of magic dwell in the city of Eridana, where two clever bounty hunters have set up shop.
