Uh, we got all of Salaryman Kintaro. ArtsMagic did release the entire 20-episode anime, and we even got at least one of the movies. Hell, we technically even got the entire original manga, though it was only via an extremely annoying digital-only system. |

I think you're talking about the UTB Hollywood channel (which you can still watch on Digital TV in the SoCal area), which, at the time of launch, showed series that are/were licensed from Bandai/Nozomi/etc. http://utbhollywood.com/en/anime/index.php (A list that I can remember that they did show were Haruhi, The Third, True Tears, Sola, Fantastic Children, Dice, Eureka 7, and even the entire 3 separate Lupin series (and some others I can't remember at the moment). Of course Detective Conan/Case Closed is still going, with different varieties of other titles in that channel lately.) |

That was basically a test dub done by the Japanese. It aired on Toonami Jetstream as a test, and since no one liked it, they never really did anything with it. |

Geo: I supported Kintaro, anyway. Only chance to finish it.

Monster ,Kodocha ,Squid Girl , 2nd Season Higurashi ,Gintama(needs english dub),Fighting Spirit, Maison Ikkoku
Toradora(needs english dub),hunter X hunter (orig +2012) ,Bakuman,Full Moon o,ZSZS (needs eng dub) i mean all these shows are in the TOP 400 of all time ratings here on Bayesian A.N.N. US. and MANY MANY OTHERS (in the top 500-1000 that are still waiting just a dub so how do the publishing/licensing companies decide on which franchises they should release here in the U.S. and which ones to go the extra mile and to give it and english dub…or which should be re-released and /or finished ….. i can see some of the series that sadly are rated 1000 or 2000th worse to be given up on but MAN!!! it seems to me bad business ALL THE WAY AROUND you've got us the fans /the original creators/music /V.Os (JP & ENG) animators/production Co's ect. that we can't get together and get some of this stuff completed … Like AnmEigo did with Bubblegum crisis… myself i don't watch streaming because from what i heard it doesn't support the industry much at all compared to buying discs…i do understand though that it gets the word out /raises awareness so to speak |

Pretty sure AnimEigo said they didn't get the rest of Yawara because they simply couldn't.

Just because the Japanese mispronounce the hell out of it, and/or couldn't be bothered to spell the character's name to elicit their desired pronunciation from anyone with even just a cursory education in the English language, doesn't mean that we should have to. |

Great article as always, Mike! I have all of the Kodocha that was released on DVD here in the States, but until reading this I never knew that wasn't all of the show. Ah well, I will just have to enjoy what we have.

@Echo_City: Tell that to all those weirdos who mispronounce "Deborah" as "Debra" and "Geoffrey" "Jeffery".

I'm sad about the lack of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars but I can understand why it would have been difficult to complete with the dubbing issues presented by the Stars characters' gender and the licensing falling deep down into hell...
I'd love to see Dr. Slump and Shin-chan make a comeback. I fear that the original Dr Slump is now too old to get a dub but the 90s series could get a dub and still do well. I'm looking forward to the licensed movies though and hope it paves the way for the rest of it. I never saw much of Monster Rancher but I remember watching it eagerly like all anime I saw in the early 2000s lol I'd love to see Corrector Yui complete colllections, both of the anime and the manga. It really appealed to me but living in Australia manga was so expensive back then so I never got to do any more than wistfully glance at the cover art at my local bookshop! |

Except that FUNimation has said in more than one occasion that they're not interested in Dr. Slump and that goes for the 90s series too for the exact same reason (a bit sad because like with Arale in Dragon Ball, this show had a Goku appearance). At this point a sub-only box set or two of that series would be the best that we get if Discotek goes for it after finishing with the movies. |

Great Article
I actually have all the Master Keaton DVDs, I bought them off ebay and Amazon about 2/3 year ago. I've only ever watched one disc as I struggled to get into it. |

Isn't Lupin's name supposed to be pronounced "Lieu-pahn" though?
