| Since some companies don't dub every show they license, there are several popular shows that have not received an English dub. For example, To-Love-Ru is very popular in Japan and licensed in N. America by Sentai, but has yet to see a dub (this is just an example; I've never seen, nor know what this show is about). This is kinda strange considering the popularity. What do you all think and what licensed shows need a dub that don't already have one? |
| Urusei Yatsura. Hugely popular in Japan, and a cult classic worldwide. Sadly, it's quite old and obviously not happening, though. =( |

There is a whole shit load of series I would like dubbed, but these two I most definitely want dubbed. All of To-Love-Ru series All of Urusei Yatsura series and OVAs. |
| I think an even better example (especially for me) than To Love Ru is Gintama. It's slightly more popular and is also licensed by Sentai. They did dub the movie, but that doesn't comfort me because I thought the VA's were not casted well. In my opinion, some other company needs to buy the rights for these shows from Sentai so they can be dubbed and dubbed properly. |
| One anime that is lincese but not dub is Usagi drop. WHY THE FUCK IS THIS NOT IN ENGLISH! |

Only the first two episodes are released in English (excluding movies and OVA's, a few of which are dubbed), and those are only available on VHS. Which I own. |
| Oh yeah, almost forgot: Bakemonogatari. TOO MUCH READING! |

| Most of the shows that were corralled by NIS America have no chance of getting a dub, like Kimi ni Todoke and Toradora. And who knows when Funimation will ever dub Fairy Tail anime episodes beyond 48, or pick up Case Closed again, or One Piece (at least with this one they keep up with the subs). They've locked up half of Kodocha in licensing limbo since 2006? |
| One Piece is still ongoing. It just started airing with episode 207 on [adult swim] last week. |

I don't know why, but it really won't bother me if they're not dubbed. For Case Closed, FUNimation just made seasons 1-5 $18 each, so maybe there will be a rise in popularity. As for Kodocha, I always wondered why it was hard to find the dvds. That really sucks! |
carlomandeguz said: Mirai Nikki? Haven't heard any announcements about that... Funimation is taking too long with it :P I would love to see a quality dub of Gintama, but as long as it's in Sentai's hands I'd rather not see it dubbed at all... I'm also legitimately interested in listening to an Oreimo dub, though I'm not sure if it's licensed or not. Part 1 of Future Diary (Mirai Nikki) will be released in August, so expect a trailer and dub cast announcement in the next few weeks. Personally, I can't wait. I totally agree w/ you about Gintama. Oreimo is licensed by Aniplex of America, so there's a 50-50 chance of a dub. However, I just don't see it being popular enough to dub, and that doesn't totally bother me personally. |
| I want a dub of Future Diary and Tales of the Abyss. They dubbed the game, now they need to dub the anime. I've always wanted to give Oreimo a try as well (even if it has to be subbed). |

| I do hope Media Blasters to dub Super Robot Wars. I really love that series since I love humongous mecha anime. __________________________________________________________________ Animewolfguy said: mrbling252 said: Oh yeah, almost forgot: Bakemonogatari. TOO MUCH READING! Oh god I wish a dub would be made for that. Agreed with passion. I have to say that very title almost made me stop since it is so dialogue heavy and the pace is just to fast that I nearly just did not last... (What the hell? I just quoted some of the lyrics of Points of Authority by Linkin Park.) And if ever there is a dub of that very series, I'd like to hear Johnny Yong Bosch as Koyomi as a parallel of his role as Izaya Urihara which was done by his Japanese counterpart Hiroshi Kamiya who played both. Cristina Vee as Senjougahara Hitagi as a parallel with Chiwa Saitou in Madoka Magica's Homura Akemi. Michelle Ruff as Nadeko Sengoku as with her Japanese counterpart in Durarara!! as Anri. Cassandra Lee as Hachikuji Mayoi as a reflection with Kyuubey done by Emiri Katou. Laura Bailey as Tsubasa Hanekawa as Yui Horie did alongside Honda Tohru in Fruits Basket. Sarah Williams as Karen Arararagi, this is already a no-brainer since Sarah and Eri were together as Sayaka Miki and CPU Candidate Uni of Madoka Magica and Hyperdimension Neptunia respectively. Christine Marie Cabanos as Tsukihi Araragi since she can do cutesy voice for her. Alternatively, they might import Monica Rial as that as a reflection with Yuka Iguchi with Index. carlomandeguz said: Mirai Nikki? Haven't heard any announcements about that...

I'm also legitimately interested in listening to an Oreimo dub, though I'm not sure if it's licensed or not. I have to say that Mirai Nikki could be a great anime to dub as long as that Funimation itself researches it well with the tone by watching the Japanese version first and not like what happened in my opinion in the To Aru Majutsu Index/ Kagaku Railgun dubs. Not that they were that bad but the ADR Director could have just studied it well and that some of the characters could have delivered a dub with the quality of Baccano! or Full Metal Alchemist. BTW, I do hope Sentai Filmworks could give the fans a favor by either hiring fresh but talented VAs for their titles as they seem to reuse them over and over again and again or use people of Bang Zoom's proximity. Not that I hate their VAs, they are good but because sometimes there is a miscasting. ____________________________________________ |
| The problem w/ the Sentai VA's is that there are maybe 2 or 3 good ones, and they are HEAVILY overused. The rest are kinda mediocre. FUNimation has many talented VA's and a good crop of new ones like Micah Solusod and that guy who played Ayumu in Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Also, I have to mention that even if Bakemonogatari and Oreimo get a dub, they're licensed by Aniplex and could be crazy expensive. Don't believe me, look at how much they're charging for the re-release of Gurren Lagann. |

I myself have been wanting to buy Aniplex titles yet they are so freakin' expensive. I really wish that I am able to afford such a commodity in today's times. I think I am going to buy them one day though but not this time. |
| Just checked Funimation's youtube website, which posted two days ago that Todd Haberkorn got his Fairy Tail tattoo in commemoration of the dubbing of the 100th episode! |

| Sucks that I can't view their YT channel since region blocking has been implemented. Dang. |
| There are quite a lot I want, actually, but I'll list the most important ones. (Aniplex US) Kara no Kyoukai: The Garden of Sinners (every movie in the series) -- I mean come on, it's fucking Type-Moon and ufotable, man. Do I really need to say anything else? (Aniplex US) Oreimo: My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute -- I don't really know how popular it is, but considering Aniplex US grabbed the second season, I'd guess it's worth it. (Aniplex US) The Monogatari Series -- I think you guys already mentioned this. (Sentai Filmworks) The Pet Girl of Sakurasou -- This little gem managed to get some high scores here. I'd be very pleased to watch this in English, but then again, this is Sentai we're talking about here. (FUNimation) Attack on Titan -- I think this mention is just a formality. It will get a dub soon, guaranteed. |

| Anybody heard of a show called Nyan Koi! It's a decent show that, after being licensed for several years and previously released on dvd sub only, will now be getting an English dub. Oh btw, this show is licensed by Sentai. Could this be a sign of Sentai changing it's process? |

| Yea. I got it a few months ago. Only cost $29.99 on Rightstuf, which is definitely a good price for a Sentai dvd. They also released the Unlimited Blade Works dvd. |
| Cool! Glad they nabbed that one. |
Kawaiimikichan2 said: All the Madoka Magica Movies!! Oh and Gosick, Earl and Fairy, The Devil is A part timer, and psycho pass. I wish more anime that are either fantasy or victorian england were dubbed because i think english suits those the best The Madoka Magica movies are licensed by Aniplex, but not Aniplex of America. That's why there have been small theatrical releases in the States. So it's highly unknown if they'll be dubbed. Gosick was licensed by Bandai, but they're dead now, so the license is in limbo. I've never heard of Earl and Fairy. As for the last 2, they're licensed by FUNimation, so there'll be a dub, it's just a matter of when. |
| I would like to see Katekyo Hitman Reborn get a dub. The fact that it's licensed by Viz Media means that it's most likely going to happen, but it's been a couple years since they streamed it on their website. The Kara no Kyokai series needs to get a dub as well. I haven't seen them yet, but from what I've heard they're amazing. Plus it's the same team that did Fate/Zero, Ufotable and Type-Moon, which was amazing. |
| I agree that Kinmoza needs a proper English dub, mostly because the Japanese voices are really starting to annoy me, especially the teacher's! Anyway, anime that need a dub but are licensed: Anohana, Hana Saku Iroha (I really thought these two were right up FUNimation's alley), Natsume Yuujinchou, Ikoku Meiro no Croisee, and Tari Tari. |
| Valvrave the Liberator licensed by Aniplex USA- Too beautiful to be stained by subs. Super Robot Wars OG Divine Wars licensed by Media Blasters- If it sells well enough it could persuade Media Blasters to nab SRW: The Inspector. The only company that needs to dub these two shows are the NYAV Post because more anime need to be outsourced to New York and dubbed there, they haven't been getting too much outsourced dub work lately, lest I be wrong. My Otome Sifr.0 wasn't given a dub by Bandai Entertainment, but now Funimation has rescued the whole My-Hime project and they have the finances to dub Sifr.0 Plus, Valvrave and SRW OG Divine Wars would be great additions to Toonami's library, if they get dubbed. |

| Oh, I know a LOT of anime that are licensed and need dubs. Bunny Drop AnoHana Natsume Yuujinchou Hanasaku Iroha Ikoku Meiro no Croisee Tales of the Abyss Tanoshii Moomin Ikka (Yes, I know it already has a dub, but it's a British one, and this thread is about American dubs, so I'm throwing it in here) Nagi no Asukara Kill la Kill |
| The anime adaptation of Danganronpa sorely needs an English dub, with the original game cast reprising their roles, of course. While we're on the topic of NISA licenses, Persona: Trinity Soul, if only so we can get Liam O'Brien as Akihiko Sanada once more (even if Akihiko's role there is just a cameo). |

| Nisekoi when it finishes airing needs to be dubbed. I want to see how they pull it off since from what little of episodes I've seen I think it could make a great dub. |
 |
| ^ I know, compared to Akiyuki Shinbo's other works (namely, Monogatari), Nisekoi is so freaking easy to dub because it's a simple romantic comedy without any of that abstract crap. The question now is, will Aniplex of America think it's profitable? |

gamer2710 said: Seeing as it's also one of the best selling manga, I don't think it would have a problem selling because it's so popular as it is already. It should be plenty profitable. Especially a dub of the series because i'm sure a lot of people, including myself, would love to see a dub given that it could sell pretty darn well over here in the states. Aniplex just needs to create a quality dub, and not make their damn shit so overpriced that it's unaffordable. I'd say 30-40 buck for the entire series should be good enough, and hopefully they sell it in a boxset instead of volumes because 40 bucks per volume is ridiculous. And to wonder why half of their stuff doesn't sell well. Turn it into a boxset that sells for 40 bucks and it'll be greatly profitable and affordable.^ I know, compared to Akiyuki Shinbo's other works (namely, Monogatari), Nisekoi is so freaking easy to dub because it's a simple romantic comedy without any of that abstract crap.
