Funimation has gotten really burned in the past by announcing shows as soon as the ink dried, only to deal with complaining as shows would take a year, and sometimes two, to finally come out. With the exception of SOME simulcasts, it seems they have been waiting longer to make announcements so it doesn't seem like their shows are taking so long to come out. I think they took a page from the Sentai book and the positive responses to what seems to be rapid turn around, even though they likely take just about as long to produce a show.

I imagine that they dubbed the show thing already if not at least the first half of the show by now. According to Greg Ayres at a panel he did in 2010 (and you don't have to listen to the whole thing either. The part I refer to is only up until the first 2-in-a-half minutes of that video), Funimation usually has a dub for a show finished as soon as it's announced. Though it seems to depend on whatever kind of production push and I guess whatever kind of marketing push or licensing hiccup or something in terms of when a show is dubbed and ready to be released.

That is a possibility that they already it dubbed some of it. Of course I am not an insider (if I was I would say anything) but just a thought that popped into my head. |

Same here, it doesn't deserve the hate. |

Each to their own. I loved the show, not the greatest thing on Earth, but I was hoping it would be picked up and now it is going to be dubbed. Nothing personal, but I am hoping you are wrong about it being a Funimation blunder. Seems to be a lot of support on this thread for it, so got my fingers crossed. |

I liked Shangri-la, too. Especially the visuals. I expect they will look pretty mouth-watering.

Oh wow, someone licensed this? While I didn't watch it myself, I remember it getting slammed by just about everyone. If Funi intends to turn profit... the outlook is bleak.

Well, they might have to wait if the Japanese licensor wants the Japanese DVDs/BRs of those shows to be available for a while before they're available in NA (all those annoying "reverse import" fears). Shangri-La, on the other hand, aired 3 years ago, so that's probably not an issue and FUNimation can being work on it as soon as they want. |

I too am somewhat suprised by how quickly Funimation got the cast list out for this show. But as said odds are they have already had it planned out for awhile, if not dubbed.
Any who looking forward to checking the show out. Seems to be one of those shows people either mildly enjoy or just go "Meh", lol. |

This. I can't wait to finally own this and see the visuals on a real home release. 
Edit: The awesome soundtrack will sound even better too. |
