Kekkai Sensen looks great, hopefully BONES makes up for last year, not a fan of the music though.
Another girl in Arslan Senki, at least the second guy looks normal.
Excited for Kyoukai no Kanata, I already know how it'll end but I'm excited nonetheless.
And Shokugeki no Souma is pretty much locked for one cour, don't think anyone expected more though, meanwhile SHAFT gives Koufuku Graffiti 5 seasons ( ¬‿¬)

I'll be watching 4 of those Funimation dubs. Totally worth rewatching Assassination Classroom and Akatsuki no Yona again.

Why can't they just dub Noragami? :( If they don't plan on doing that then they should give it a second season.

Mm, we have more Spring updates this week. Interesting. I'm pretty hyped for Kekkai Sensen tbh. The Funimation dub news is also quite interesting there. I'm curious to see what Koro-sensei sounds like.

Funimation can only dub shows they get the rights to dub, that they think will be profitable to dub. That's all they can do, in addition to subtitling them and putting them on home video when they get those rights. So far I guess they haven't got the rights or have decided it isn't profitable to dub Noragami. How can Funimation, an American streaming, dubbing and home video company create or itself fund a second season of an anime to which they don't own the original intellectual property????

Kodansha mostly, Avex, Bones... those are the companies on the production committee which have say in whether or not it gets a second season. Funimation... no.

Oh Funi...Tokyo Ghoul blows. I think they overestimate how much people outside of Japan are going to buy into the dub.

Yuri Kuma...good show, but I don't see the dub even coming close to the Japanese "gao gao. Shaba da-doo".

Rolling Girls...just...why? It's already doing pretty bad.

The broadcast dubbing is actually pretty big news if this is continues to be successful and becomes the normal, surprised it did not get its own thread.

I think Assassination Classroom has the most to gain as comedy works better in your own language

I'm sad that Hiro Shimono didn't get the role but at least its not Matsuoka (because he needs a break like seriously) and I didn't expect that Hiroshi Kamiya would get the role.

And Kyoukai no Kanata's trailer looks like Tamako Love Story 2.0
The world shall know the truth soon.

Hiroshi Kamiya's going to replace Daisuke Ono in DK? Their voices aren't exactly similar this makes my KamiOno feels grow even more though

Can't wait for Kekkai Sensen
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... and my arm... even my fingers. The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past."
