just what the title says...

I'd like to get the k-on movie on DVD for a friend but ofcourse,I want it to have english subtitles and I believe that the version that is out now doesn't have english subs?

any info if the current version on DVD has english subs?
any idea if there will ever be an official DVD release with english subs?

sorry if this isn't the correct forum to ask this...I just registered to ask this one question :)

I don't know of any official release that includes English subs. But Sentai Filmworks has licensed & released K-ON! season two with English subs and dub, and if it sells well I imagine that they will also license the K-ON! movie.

Other English language distributors in Australia and England could also license the movie, but I suspect that they might wait for someone like Sentai to license it first so that they can sub-license the subs and dub, which can be cheaper than producing their own.

I think the K-ON franchise is too popular for the movie not to eventually get an English language release.

The DVD/BD release doesn't have english subs.
It wouldn't be surprising if it was licensed over here, though I'm pretty sure it would only be a dub.

Eh, why? The vast majority of anime DVD/BD's are dual audio now.

I admit I've never bought licensed anime, so I was just talking out of my rear. But that's nice to hear.

Probably eventually. Don't expect a dub though. It'll probably be released about halfway through next year. I suggest downloading it or watching it online if your impatient. That's what I had to do to watch K-On! Season 2.

Why? The two seasons have been dubbed (however terribly) so why won't the movie?

It seems like it would be impossible to dub with all the English speaking. There are occasions where dubbed shows get sub only movies. Gurren Lagann is a good example. It was a pretty high profile dub that even ran on TV in America. Nonetheless, the movies were subbed only.

k-on!! season 2 dub was just released, so the movie most likely will be dubbed and released. maybe next year at the earliest, it's hard to say since dubs take forever

weren't the guren lagann movies recaps? why would they put there effort in dubbing a recap? so that's not a great example..

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me
