Think Crunchy will do the cool thing, and let Funi make a dub?

I wonder what Crunchy's reply will be. They don't seem like the type of people to hold the license hostage, but I but I find it interesting how they even have home video rights to Free!

I hope that Funi will release this DVD with the unaired episode that the 7th DVD in Japan is going to get... if not, then that's really sad =(...
I do hope they get the 1st season too... it's still very awkward to release the 2nd season before the 1st... =/ |

I take it this is a first for a sequel series getting a US release and dub, but not the original?

Well, we did get Char's Counter Attack over here before we got Zeta Gundam or Double Zeta Gundam. |

Yes! I will totally be pre-ordering the BDs. I hope we get the extra episode, too.

I'd imagine it would be something Crunchyroll would *want* to do. After all, they stand to make some cheddar off this if they play it right. The problem is *can* they? I'd imagine ABC Asahi, KyoAni, and the Iwatobi Swim Club Production Committee would still have a say in the matter. While I don't think they'd object to the matter, there's always that chance. Also, there's the issue of non-US rights to consider. If they have full rights for the US, logic would dictate they have full rights to the series in every region they stream it. That might be a headache to iron out as well. Then again, I suppose if FUNimation can pull it off the rest of the world will follow suit. |

Wait, so the reason why no one picked up Free is because CR got the rights? Wow. Anyway, I hope Crunchyroll are awesome enough to let Funi do a dub for Season 1. I'd hate to only get Season 2 dubbed.
But hey, at the least the worst case scenario of Sentai Filmworks dubbing the show has been ruled out. That would have been a nightmare. |

Nothing to do with being cool. At the end of the day it will all come down to money. |

Wow, first that Answerman question, and now Funi's dub announcement. What are the odds?

It's 2014. We should be well-past the point where anime gets dubbed out of order.

I didn't even know CR could get the rights to anime. I thought they were just a streaming site! Shows how much I know lol. Anyway, I hope CR let's Funi get season 1 too. But I'm sure if they make the dub to the second season great they'll let them dub the first season too. I'm not worried though. Funi gives us a lot of great dubs. I'm just wondering which voice actors will fit these swimming babies! |

That certainly clears up a lot of confusion for me. I was always baffled as to why no one picked up Free. It's only now I've realised that the reason why is because it'd been picked up already. I really do hope this works out though. After Chuunibyo and before Amaburi my opinion on KyoAni was gradually going downhill (Despite absolutely loving them for the first year or so I watched anime) but I really enjoyed Free regardless. It has that unique charm I used to love about KyoAni that Tamako Market, Chuu2 and KnK just didn't have. Weirdly enough, I was actually really skeptical about Free because I thought it would just be a shoddy K-ON ripoff (Like Tamako) with guys and a ton of manservice. But despite actually looking forward to the the other shows I mentioned Free was the only one I truly enjoyed. I don't really care that the Tamako Market dub sucks and I doubt I'd get too worked up no matter how much Sentai screw up Chuu2 and KnK. But Free is the one show they've made in the past few years I want to be done justice. My opinion of them isn't always perfect but this is one of the cases where I feel I can trust Funimation to do it right.

Funi's blog post actually mentions and links to the Answerman column, citing it as the catalyst for the recent questions about CR's license. |
