I was just thinking about this...how well would a kickstarter thing work to get anime dubbed that would otherwise be sub only? I wonder if there are enough dub fans, just in the US, that can help with the cost of producing a dub. Last edited by superdry on Thu Mar 29, 2012 11:05 pm; edited 1 time in total |

It doesn't have to have a dub for me to enjoy it.

CONGRATULATIONS Neither are you. The japanese dub is good, and you can still understand the series in japanese with subs |

Yes, I could. But, am I not entitled to at least wishing that this had a dub, even though I know it won't? |

Another anime licensed by NIS America... That means I'll have to shell out at least $50 for it from RightStuf. :/

Yes you are entitled to wish for a dub. But are you entitled to be a massive douchebag about it? I don't think so. You have decided that no dub = no sale. That is your prerogative as a consumer. But don't blame NISA for not dubbing this and don't mock the fans who just want to watch the show and don't care which language they have to listen to in order to do that.

yeah you are every-one is entitled to want to something however it's that level of being selfish "not you the other posters are showing off". I already have a feeling there will be high chance this will be on c.r. streams for usa and canada only due to working season one and other nisa titles. |

That's a blatantly false dilemma. You're totally free to wish it had a dub. I wish NISA shows had dubs as well. That's not the same thing as demanding a dub, refusing to buy it without one, or wishing NISA would die. Sometimes dubs just aren't feasible. Go ahead and wish that wasn't the case but don't blame NISA for it being the case. |

Can't we all just get along?....
Oh yeah, I forgot how opinionated as hell people are, and if you don't agree with what someone says, you're automatically wrong. |

Precisely. Not every show is going to benefit enough financially from a dub to recoup the dubbing costs. And I certainly don't wish NISA to die, the Anime market needs a company like them that will pick up the niche titles that the other companies don't have time for. |

In before the trolls come to randomly diss Funi/NIS/Sentai/whoever. Oh wait...
I don't understand why there are so many negative comments. If Funimation licenses, it, there's a bunch of comments about "Oh great, wasting money on a horrible English dub." If Sentai licenses it, there's "Oh great, it's going to be a cheapo release with no special extras, and it's going to take forever." Now NIS licenses it, and there's "I don't like how they manage their video game division. And there's no dub!" And then there's the people who complain without even giving any reasons at all! I really don't get it. $70 is MSRP for a release with a nice hardcover, full-color print book, and BD+DVD. That's a fairly normal price. Funimation recently set Okami-san and Princess Jellyfish with an MSRP of $70. Sentai Filmworks set the MSRP for Dream Eater Merry and Infinite Stratos also at $70. The only new anime releases that start less than that are generally barebones DVD-only releases without the extras that aren't expected to sell as much. Those are around $40-50. Even then, those are only MSRP! (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) Stores like Amazon and RightStuf frequently sell them much lower than MSRP. Dream Eater Merry and Princess Jellyfish are actually selling for $42 on RightStuf, and Okami-san is up for preorder on Amazon for $34.99 (which is literally half the price). The only really super-cheap anime releases are titles that have been around for a while and sold well. Last edited by TD912 on Thu Mar 29, 2012 11:32 pm; edited 1 time in total |
