| Is there any anime series that won't get dubbed and just remain subbed. Or maybe they'll get dubbed but later in years. |
| I AM THE GREAT PRUSSIA AND I AM AWESOME!!!! |
| Loads of stuff doesn't, tbh i rarely like dubs so i'm ok with this. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| I'm pretty sure Gintama or Katekyo Hitman Reborn! won't get dubbed. What a shame. |
| I want Koe de Oshigoto to get dub just to see what it'll be like haha! It's an ecchi anime about hentai voice acting. :) |
| i wouldn't think stuff like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Bakemonogatari, or Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei will be dubbed. i dont think they would work well dubbed at all and i am perfectly fine with them not ever being dubbed. |
| 私のホバークラフトは鰻でいっぱいです |
| A lot of shows. |
 |
| I was pretty sure both, Gintama and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, had been licensed by Sentai Entertainment. If that's the case, isn't there at least a microscopic chance of them being dubbed? On the other hand, I doubt they'll ever dub the really old ones that haven't been dubbed already (LotGH comes to mind)... |
 |
| Probably well over 70-80% of all anime I'd wager. But most of the time, I'd rather keep it that way. Dubbing is a complete waste of time and money, much better to just sub it and ship it out quickly and cheaply. |

| LoGH and thank goodness |
| Oh heaps of shows won't get dubbed. I think Shugo Chara needs to get dubbed. *was sick of the fandub* |
| I can't imagine HOW they'd dub Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, at least for an English speaking audience. For one thing, all of the character's names are Japanese puns. And it deals almost entirely with Japanese society. I think we're better off with Subs. |

I'd buy so much more anime on DVD if it was cheaper and didn't make you waste time (admittedly tiny amounts of time) going into the DVD menu to change the language back to Japanese. |
 |
| Probably the rest of D.Gray-man. |
Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |
| Shinryaku Ika Musume will probably never happen. Way too many awful puns to try and translate sensibly (literally translating everything would probably sound horrible, but the puns would be difficult to translate and keep in context).

Ehhhh it's not a complete waste of time and money, some people don't want to watch stuff in Japanese and want to listen to something in their native language because it's easier to understand, or they can't read subs for various reasons etc...however this post is not 'sub v dub' so I'll stop there. But if you really want subbed DVDs then look for multi-language European stuff, a good chunk of it is subtitled audio. |

I can't fork over 30-40 bucks every few episodes. Series costing upwards of 200 dollars to own is so beyond not worth it. In dvd quality atleast. The lack of decent animu in blu ray breaks my heart. |

| Legend of the Galactic Heroes is never going to get dubbed. Hell, it probably won't get licensed in the first place because it's so outdated. The western anime market is more interested in newer anime, since that's where most fan interest lies despite LotGH having a pretty big cult following. |

| 85% of anime in general I doubt Baby Princess will get dubbed although Sister Princess was localized, I wouldn't mind the OVAs being dubbed though for continuity's sake. |
 |
| Hahaha Boku no Pico and Kuro kun won't get dubbed. |
     |
| Gintama will probably never get a dub. And yes its a shame (providing they had good voice actors & could make the comedy work) cuz all the dub-only watchers will never get to experience this amazing anime. |
 |
| Bakemonogatari....I highly doubt it will ever get dubbed, let alone be released here. |
 |
| Anything before 2005. |
| like 80% of anime out there will never be dubbed since companies don't have enough money to release them all. Also I hate buying subbed-only anime on DVD cause its a waste of money when I can watch it for free illegally or legally online. Only exception I'll make if I know the company will never go back and dub it. I agree with everyone else on Gintama too many jokes to translate and too much Japanese cultural references that will be hard for people over here to understand so its best if it stays subbed as much I would like it to be dubbed. |

SuperSaiyen said: Confucius said: LoGH and thank goodness No actually that's a bad thing wtf LoGH hasn't been dubbed? The main reason I haven't watched it is because I figured it would be impossible to find it subbed like most of the other old school stuff.

Agreed, look at how godawful the Azumanga dub is, same reason gintama wouldn't work dubbed. |
Leonard93 said: Jrittmayer said: Leonard93 said: dubbing should be stopped anyway. Close minded simpletons should be too. Say what? "Dubbing" is basically taking a show/series and adapting it into another language for a particular audience. People nowadays have an archaic displeasure for the dubbing of anime because of practices used years ago in which storyline material was altered to fit with a demographic that certain licensing studios (and in some cases, at the request of the company that an anime was purchased from) targeted. However, these days companies have long abandoned the altering of format of a show/series they license and remain as close to the "original" as they're allowed to, if needed. Well said, bro ^_- |
| Rainbow probably won't, i don't know why though. |
| Shin Mazinger Z Impact never got dubbed into English. I never get why since companies always pick up any major title and it was a popular title in 2009. Yet it no one want to pick it up in 2010 or 2011. |
| I don't think Kuroko no Basket will get dubbed. |
 "The longer you live, the more you realize that reality is just made of pain, suffering, and emptiness." -Madara Uchiha |
| Hooefully no more dub is so cringy i laugh if someones dieing, like no, dont watch dub apart from the ones that are ok, accept the Japanese culture instead of listening to cringy english VAs. |
 |
| Always amusing to see what the person who necro'd a topic has to say worth necroing a topic for. |
| Probably a crap ton of OVAs and whatever |
 |
| Well I hope all anime would stay just subbed so... |
| Gintama and the Monogatari Series (and bunch of others) won't get dubbed because there way to japanese. Engrish doesn't work in reverse and certain word humour is language specific. The K-On movie (when you say, "from now on were only speaking english, no japanese!" in english good voice actors don't make sound any less odd) and the second episode of Inoubato are examples why dubs for certain shows is awkward. |
"I have respect for those who have lived a full life." - Decim (Death Parade) "I want to deliver your eulogy." - Otshepagetse  |
| Anything very Japanese like Saki, Yama no Susume, Chihayafuru, and Joshiraku can't be dubbed. A bit less than half of the anime on my list have dubs so generally any anime that isn't too popular usually won't get a dub. If an anime is over 10 years old and doesn't currently have a dub then there is close to a 0% chance it will get a dub. |
