Exactly, and not every series is gonna get dubbed.
Don't companies have a right to turn a profit? |

Really? That's the only way they air anime at Comic-Con every year unless they are only given a copy with the dub like Dead Leaves was. |

The reason why Funimation isn't licensing anything new lately is because of two things: 1. They had a licensing binge back in February of last year and are backed up on dubs and pre Sojitz ADV title license rescues. And 2. They're tied up in a headache libel with thier parent company Narrave. Remember, Narrave annouced last October that they were offfering Funimation up for sale, so far they have yet to have found a pontenial buyer. Its almost as if Funimation is waiting for the paper trial to clear up to whether they'll wait for Narrave to decide if they want to keep the label or sell it to a new parent company. |

Funny you should mention. My mother tongue is also English, yet I have no problem reading subs. Again, having English dub is a luxury considering Anime are cartoons imported from another country, who's native language is Japanese. As Megiddo stated, not all anime shows are going to get dubbed. Be thankful that a number of them do get dubbed as, if they wanted, they can choose to eliminate English dubs releases completely. I'm just thankful to be able to have anime be brought over for R1 release. |

Of course, since Section23 is willing to release either dub or sub, they can pick up series that Funimation have to stop and think about ... the pre-licensing Funimation decision, "does this look like a dub will work for it" is a post-licensing decision for Section23. The real good news will be if TAN shortly announces a simulcast (IS:Stratos only took a day or two between Sentai announcing the license and TAN announcing the simulcast) ... that would mean after nearly two years without any TBS produced series simulcast, both of them would be streaming in this season. |

In my (actually fairly extensive) experience, it's not hard in the least for groups of people to watch anime subtitled. |

They could even charge $400 for it if they want to.

No one has whined (well except about hoping for a BD)  ), all they've said is that they'd like to see it get a dub when it finally gets a physical release (and hopefully a blu-ray since it's made in HD and getting Japanese blu-rays). There hasn't even been much if any "no dub, no buy" yet only on the blu-ray vs dvd end.
Either may happen but it's still kind of crazy that people hoping for the old regular standard of dual-languages for their loved shows have become the target that gets lynched these days, it's not like they are asking for dub-only releases unlike those asking for sub-only releases praying for no-dub even though it doesn't save them any money and might even cost them more and with both tracks it serves the widest audience and has an even greater chance to bring in new fans just discovering anime. Anyway, good to see Merry picked up! Hope we hear some preliminary details about the home video part of the release soon after it finishes airing so that at least we get some idea of what their plans are and perhaps which format or both they are planning

Ummm.. Infinite Stratos. That was only a few weeks ago. Not to mention Sentai announces a new license almost every month in their solicitations. Anyway, since they are announcing the show like this, I think it means we'll quite likely see a delayed simulcast on TAN. The show sounds interesting, so I will definitely be checking this out. |

Seriously same here. I mean it's fine that they didn't Gintama (the manga is good enough.) but I really had wished they would at least considered to dub season two of Your Under Arrest. I mean if they are dubbing a series based off a video game, then surely they could have taken a chance with this YUA. But oh well, I'm going to pass on this one. Much like most of Sental releases. |

And before the sub/dub debate goes any further, and before more people right this off because of the potential lack of a dub, how about we wait to find out what they are going to do with it?
