Well, that figures. The moment I finish watching the sub the dub is announced. Ah well. If I ever re-watch it, I'll go for the dub. |

Man,Sentai is working hard to get up there with Funi.All they need to do is get an anime like FMA Brotherhood.By that I mean,an anime that is popular,sells & is well-received.Is it Gintama or an anime that's has yet to be made? JeddyVII said: Space Brothers - The best anime of 2012 & possibly the best slice-of-life anime I've seen.It may have some flaws (which doesn't affect my opinion),but I have yet to see anyone hate this series. |

Hopefully they keep the same dubbers. Vee was actually pretty good as Mio.  |

Prayers have been answered. .... not my prayers, but good for the people who were hoping for this >_> My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! Every time you recommend Sword Art Online, a baby seal gets clubbed. |

Somebody had to pick up the license, and I guess they were it. It's especially good that Sentai appears to have a vested interest in preserving the dub, seeing as it's collaborating with Bang Zoom! on production. That said, Cristina Valenzuela or I'm not buying.   |

Nice and they are using Bang Zoom! since handled the first season and its actually good. Sentai has been known for iffy localization but im glad they are letting bang zoom handle it. I hope the script is consistent. Modified by KhanhCPham, 02-20-12, 2:29 PM |

K-ON! returning for more was a given, but the question begs to answered: What will Sentai not license? And if they're grabbing stuff related to Bandai's licenses, then them grabbing a gundam series or the new Eureka Seven anime wouldn't be a stretch (I know Sentai isn't the only anime company, but I have to wonder what Funimation is doing? Surely Level-E and the Basara movie isn't all they're grabbing, right?). "The R1 Anime business is a cruel and shallow financial trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." |
