| Well obviously I know why this show wasn't dubbed, because Funimation are dicks who only dub the popular anime, instead of the good anime. But still ... This is like the ideal anime to dub. It's pace is so fast that I often can't keep up with the subtitles (Not to mention to on-screen signs), plus it's a comedy anime (Which inherently benefits from being dubbed), and if it were to get a dub, it'd get a boost in popularity too (Which it by all accounts needs). The only reason against a dub is that the voice actors I believe sung the OP and ED (I'll need to double check though, and it doesn't matter anyway). GOD DAMN IT, THE DUB IS OF DIED SO HAJIMETE NO GAL COULD BE DUBBED. WHY DOES LIFE HAVE TO SUCK. KONBINI KARESHI WAS DUBBED, AND THAT HAD THE MOST LACKLUSTER ANIMATION, WHICH I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT BECAUSE I WAS READING THE SUBTITLES. MAHOUJIN GURUGURU DUB DIES SO WE COULD APPRECIATE THE VISUALS OF THAT SHOW. IT DIED FOR THE REFLECTION DUB, WHICH BY ALL I'VE HEARD IS BASICALLY X-MEN MOVIE BUT ANIMATED (Bringing nothing interesting as a result from the medium) AND LETS NOT FORGET "IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH MY SMARTPHONE", "A CENTAURS LIFE" and "18if". |

| I can't tell if your serious or not. I mean just because some other shows were chosen to be licensed & dubbed by a company doesn't mean it prevented Guru from being dubbed. The truth is this kind of anime is just not popular in the west, they're turned off by the "childish animation", toilet humor & Japanese puns and easily write it off. I'm not even sure there will be a blu-ray release in the west at all. A company will have to take a risk and I wouldn't put money on it. |
| The show isn't popular enough to get a dub. It's not very complicated. |
| The plot is simple enough that you don't need to agonize over the subtitles. Worst case scenario you'll miss a side joke about sexy grandpa. Wouldn't hold out hold out much hope for a dub if western fans show a low interest in it. |

It's not very complicated. What number are you looking at? Anyway the thing is when they do a broadcast dub they obviously don't know how the show will turn out, they can only gamble and assume it will find an audience. Regardless if that show did well or not it does make sense why they would choose something like that and not Guru. As sad as it is a standard moe/sexy fantasy action is something that can do well in the west. Guru is not your standard anime that appeals to the typical anime fan in west. Most would probably choose sexy action anime girls over the chibi looking weird comedy of Guru. Now I don't think its completely out of the question that this will be released on blu-ray and dubbed. It could happen someday but I can't really expect companies have high priority on it. |

More people should actually contact them instead of raging on the Internet and saying "ALL DUBZ ARE BAD" |
Cyborg_Icarus29 said: Well, there is room for improvement and it'd definitely be of benefit to the viewer if the voice acting was better.

| ^ true. Well, IMHO. myself prefer the original so I more prefer literal subs then localize / dub. Since the good subs or in ts case good dubs is rarely and dying nowdays, If you like to watch anime so much why don't just start learning Japanese yourself? It's good for your enjoyment when watch anime and also could be a + for your CV. Since dubs cost a lot more money then subs, maybe they just want to avoid risk of failing. With many animes is made each season there is no way every anime will get subbed / dubbed. So either keep email-ing the company to subbed / dubbed it (gambling for chance) or just learn JP ( the only way without waiting for uncertainty). |
