Well, it's only 2 eps, so dub expenses would be done in a weekend. Plus hentai(ish) buyers don't mind not reading. Laughing

Not quite....
But just about as close to porn as you could get.
Especially if you were into the whole slavery thing.
It was there and I streamed it, surprised.
It is no longer on Netflix, and the search there comes up empty.

I think one of the visual novels Kana is forced to voice is incest themed. but that's what, 20 seconds of high powered imagination?

After they dubbed Dokuro and Punie-chan I think that any release that they get their brand on is fair game for a dub; is this show really, truly worse than those?

In terms of being explicit? Oh, yeah. The main character isn't just a teen voice actress; she's voicing ero games. And yes, that means everything that goes with it. The scenes involving it go well beyond the famous When Harry Met Sally scene.

And, well, there's also the issue that what the heroine is doing is almost certainly technically illegal, giving her age. (She's not 18.)

I dont mind dubs, but since i have seen this show with the original voice acting, I might not care for an English dub, but I am hoping that the dub for Ladies vs. Butlers is a decent one

lol this is so great. I completely didn't think this would get any kind of release in North America given its subject matter! Probably will actually be buying this.

Is it really illegal in Japan? I thought they had lower ages of consent.

So it's like a raunchier Rec? Well then, despite the art style used, I could stand to check this out for laughs.

Then this means that I'll never have to worry about Media Blasters not dubbing something due to its "immoral" content. Perhaps they should have taken DMC instead of Sentai, though considering that Sentai got Queen's Blade dubbed I think that they're in the same boat. So many shows, so few dubs Sad

oh yeah, raunchier than Rec. Kanna has a Spongebob level imagination, to the point where spoiler[she can have an orgasm just by imagining what's going on when reading her lines], which enhances her acting. and those scenes she's recording are animated. they get away with it because male naughty bits are made invisible with a rainbow like outline or caution tape

Yeah, no, it doesn't have to do with age of consent. Typically, all actors and actresses in R-18 media, whether real-life, animated, visual novel, or otherwise, must be at least 18 years old. You will see a CSA (Content Self-Assessment) warning about that in H-anime and an EOCS (Ethics Organization of Computer Software) one in H-games.

Japan's CERO (Computer Entertainment Ratings Organization) is just like US/Canada's ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board), except CERO has no power over PC games, so that's where EOCS steps in. But funny thing though, EOCS is essentially a voluntary ethics review board, so publishers don't absolutely need to follow it by law. There was a lot of controversy about this when Rapelay got a lot of attention.

Wouldn't an underage VA violate child pornography laws? At any rate, I definitely recall the first volume of the manga mentioning it was illegal but not specifying exactly why.
