Animaze shutting down was actually due to Kevin Seymour's passing, and not economic reasons. It's clear they loved dubbing anime, and they were the gold standard for years for a reason. |

v_i: Oh, well, at least the parodies in Lupin came through unscathed. Unless Tokyo Crisis removed it's Mission Impossible riff?

The amount of hats Kevin Seymour wore is insane, and we may never truly know everything he did due to the numerous pseudonyms he used. |

I checked out Nola Klop's page and apparently she also voices in Dutch dubs. That's so cool!

The Japanese Blu-ray Box had a newly done 5.1 track which didn't have that cue. From pages 2 & 3 of this thread: https://fandompost.vbulletin.net/forum/anime-manga-discussions/jp-asian-blu-ray-dvd-and-streaming-industry-news/4595-top-wo-nerae-gunbuster-ova
Of course we'll need confirmation but I wouldn't be surprised if we get the 5.1 remix only, especially given Bandai Visual's track record (see the Patlabor movies under Maiden Japan, Akira under Funi and the Gundam movie trilogy outside of the UK). |

Anime acquisitions are just by a few media conglomerates nowadays, and they prefer to do dubs in-house. So, like syndication, not much 3rd-parties remain
Also, anime don't get on US TV much anymore, so they no longer get those TV monies neither to afford other studios Plus, the death of hentai dubs - those used to be reliable source of quick studio revenue because many people bought those but --let's face it-- not for the authenticities |

they haven't completely died out. Media Blasters started dubbing hentai again a couple years back and release a few every year

I still own the US Renditions VHS versions of eps 3-6 (and the Manga Video version of 1 and 2, which was just the USR version with their name on it), as well as two of the older DVDs....while I will give the dub a fair chance, I'll be very happy to have the subtitles available...as well as it being individual eps with the original openings and science lessons.

They've been doing various card/toy tie-in anime almost continuously for the last decade, and just recently they did Zoids Wild and Future Boy Conan. And are probably working on Dragon Quest: Adventure of Dai and more World Trigger for Toei. And New Generation recently dubbed the Eureka Seven movies and Ikki Tousen OVAs. Just because these companies were forced to refocus on other types of projects when the "old guard" anime distributors went under, it doesn't mean they won't happily get back in the game whenever someone offers them a job.
Animaze's last output was in 08/09, Seymour passed away in 2014. In that period, it looks like Seymour freelanced a bit for other dubbing companies (Kekkaishi), while his usual partners at Magnitude 8 Post and ZRO Limit moved on to produce dubs for video games without him. And then Magnitude 8 Post's founder wrote a rather scathing note about the financial realities of the industry when they shut down in 2015. It's possible he could have gotten the band back together if someone hired him again in 13-14, but Animaze had been defunct for years when that happened. |

Would it be possible for anime that's licensed by Discotek but are streaming on Crunchyroll to be dubbed? Or would the dub be only on Crunchyroll? |

I read that there are some complaints about the studio doing the English dub for "Gunbuster." For someone like me,I'm just happy a dub is happening in the first place! This show's long deserved an English dub and I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I'm just going to wait patiently for when the dub is finally released. Personally,I don't care which studio does it. Just so long as it gets done. It's been long overdue and this show deserves it.
