I hope this gets an English dub. I'd like that.

Echoing what others have said! I've been really enjoying this and totally wouldn't mind owning it on DVD.

Three episodes in and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Turned out to be a really nice surprise. Isn't your generic school club harem.

How has Crawling Chaos not been licensed when its exactly the type of show sentai and even funi licenses, just look at snafu, campione, tlr, infinite stratos, high school dxd, etc. I would say there has to be some copyright issue with lovecraft, but I believe he is long in the public domain.

This is my favorite show of the season

I do not usually like dubs and I do not like the way anime network handles most of their properties, but I hope this show gets a good dub and not just some rush job

it could become a cult classic over time, though maybe not a cash cow.

toaru majutsu took THREE YEARS to release in america
also, if something is popular in japan they probably ask alot more in licensing fees so it takes time to negotiate?

Like the others, I'm enjoying the show too. It's no masterpiece. So far, the plot is very predictable, but I like the protagonist as well as the "side characters" and each episode has had at least one or two moments that made me chuckle out loud.

Good. However I do not approve of Sentai Filmworks changing the title for the release (regardless of whatever excuse that they came up with for why it "had" to be done, they didn't create the show, and as such, do not have the right to make those kinds of decisions).

Yes, they do. Please try to learn about how licenses actually work before displaying your ignorance. Now, I don't know this for a fact myself, but I believe any title changes are authorized by the Japanese production committee that grants the license in the first place.

That is correct.
However, in this particular case, the SNAFU title came from the JP side of things, as it was a posted title that is directly from TBS and was posted on the TBS International Sales FB page over a month ago, as well as being promoted at the TBS TAF booth like that.

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! is a good example of a joint title change.
Originally, the official TBS English title was Regardless of My Adolescent Delusions of Grandeur, I Want a Date! which was posted on the TBS International Sales site.
Sentai licensed it and sent out a PR under the JP romaji title ( Chūnibyō demo Koi ga Shitai! ), and a couple weeks later the offical English title was changed to Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! which also got changed and posted on the TBS International Sales site as such.
