Unfortunately I have a nasty feeling that this is gonna be sub only. When it comes to harem series like this, they (Media Blasters ) Usually give the the sub only treatment. Though i wont be getting it cause of this, BUT if it meant that Ikkitousen Season 2 and 3 as well as Queens Blade & Dokuro-Chan gets a dub in exchange for this series not getting any it's definately worth it. |

Wait Dokuro-Chan is getting a dub? That was the one reason I never bothered to buy the DVD even if it was on my list of things to watch because I wanted a dub. Oh well sub or dub Zetsubou-Sensei is coming stateside, just wondering if they get the later seasons, how are they going to handle Zoku and the new Zan OVAs. They where released with the manga meaning there maybe a bit of a problem getting them. |

This is one title I've been waiting to come over, and it's also nice to finally have a new series I really want to buy from MB. I will be preordering this right away!

Its hard to miss though, as its in the first paragraph. Pretty noticeable to be honest. As for the new series, I did some research and it looks way too dark and weird for my taste. But as long as Media Blasters finishes Genshiken season two nicely, I don't really care about what they license. For now, of course. |

In retrospect I don't think that I stated what I really meant in my earlier post. What I should have said was "I hope they get someone who can evoke the same power as Hiroshi Kamiya did in playing the part." It's not as though it can't be done as "I'm in despair" if they were to do a dub, but just that I thought that it would be hard to have the same effect if the voice actor wasn't carefully chosen. |

The article was updated. When leftbehindxp posted, ANN hadn't added the info stating that the series would be released sub-only. |

This is exactly who I figured would pick up this show, provided anyone did. It seems to fall in line with their other shows that don't sell like crazy, but sell respectably. I fully expect them to just do a sub only. While I'm not a fan of sub only releases, I suspect that they will want to minimize their risks since comedy can fall flat.

I know it's late to bump this thread, but as of a few nights ago, Amazon listed the SZS dvd as a preorder. However, the listing has "Ws-Dub" on the header. Anime Works has done excellent work, especially on sub-only. I know this is supposed to be subbed, not dubbed. And to those who have seen the ep with, well, regarding "opening", you will know that there is no way SZS works dubbed. Now, had Funimation gotten this, and tried with the old ADV voice crew that has experience in this type of series (Pani Poni Dash anyone?), perhaps a decent dub could be had. But as far as i'm concerned, SZS can stay sub-only. I was trying to contact Anime Works, but came to a dead end. If anyone knows for absolute certain, i know i'm listening.

Say, (I know this is kind of late) but I saw the listing for the first DVD on Rightstuf. The first vol. is 150mins. Does anyone know how many episodes (per DVD) or DVDs they plan to release? Since the first season is 12 episodes it would be no problem releasing it across 2 DVDs.

Interesting! So that's 6 ep for the first volume. And it's only $18.74 too. |

What ever happened to this? Media Blaster's website doesn't seem to list the series, and the few places I can find the DVD listing all still say "Pre-order."

I remember ACen was supposed to screen the first four episodes of SZS, but the Media Blasters reps there had no clue what happened and why the DVD never showed up.
Sigh... why must companies remain silent about this crap? I want to own this series... |

An excellent question. Zac talked about this in a podcast - for some strange reason, distribs have it in their heads that its better to keep their client base in the dark instead actually providing information. I guess that's "cooler" maybe than being an intelligent company? *lifts shoulders in a wtf? gesture* |

I'm guessing it'll pop up in their solicitations once their current releases are finished- Queen's Blade is done, and they have a few licenses awaiting release, so we'll probably see it before 2011. They also licensed the Lodoss Wars OVA and TV series, so those are possible releases too.
SZS was solicited awhile ago, but got pushed back to to changes in their schedule. They also confirmed on AonDVD that they were planning to switch to direct to boxset series [Kanokon would be their last series in singles], so I imagine that's also affected their schedule. Maybe more info'll pop up out of Otakon |
