Bilibili it's on the production comite, and since they recently partnership with Funimation, they may get this one. |

Looking at the official website, Netflix is the only site listed as streaming the show, which almost always means that it is a Netflix exclusive outside Japan as well, so Ermat_46’s instinct is probably correct. |

Oh thanks, well in that case I guess we'll have to do the usual wait for it then, unless it gets some fansubs in the meantime. Still looking forward to it when the time comes if it turns out good, I liked the trailer and some impressions have mentioned that it had a Hunter x Hunter type feel to it with the tone/setting in the first ep. Not to mention always looking forward to new Yasuharu Takanashi music coming from his news shows, hopefully it ends up good and has a long run.
I suppose it makes sense this season's probably too soon for any Bilibili partnership pickups like that, especially if Netflix has been in since the beginning, since they didn't announce any specific shows when announcing the deal yet. Anyway, another great set of pickups, like others have said Funi's done really good this season, lots of the ones I'm excited for. |

Yah. And it always went back-and-forth, this season Funi had the Good Stuff, next season Crunchy has to Good Stuff. |

Funimation really cleaned up this season. Three literal simuldubs too.
What I find surprising is that their blog says they have more to announce. Not sure what else they could get? Bungou will most likely stay with crunchy and Magmel seems like Netflix (unless bilibili has more sway than we think). Sarazanmai is streaming on Amazon in Japan, but that may not be global. Either way, kudos to them. Using that Sony money. |

By the way, Funimation have only picked up one Bilibili-produced anime since the partnership deal signed - "Yu-No". Maybe Funimation have autonomy to choose which anime they want to pick up from Bilibili. http://twitter.com/ultimatemegax/status/1114238215324602373 |

I'm hoping so as well. It would be crazy if they did though, since while having a Californian cast is one thing, this cast would be half Texas, half California, and I don't think that has ever been done before to that extent (except maybe Danganronpa 3), so I'm not sure how exactly they'll make it work. |

Neptunia was half and half too. So they could probably get it done. |

Isekai Quartet is an interesting one. The first time I heard of it, the partnership was still active, so I thought that made it convenient. And then that changed. Funimation has been willing to make use of Source Connect or to outright outsource to LA in the past, so my hunch is that they wouldn't have gone after it if they didn't have any intention of retaining the casts as much as possible. Heck, the commentary for Fullmetal Panic IV discussed how they used source connect to record Chris Patton who moved to LA almost immediately before recording started, and they used it for some Houston actors, even though normally they would have to travel.
Strike Witches is good to have confirmed. CR got Brave Witches, so it isn't like they haven't been interested in the franchise, though maybe since it focuses on the 501st they might have decided it wasn't worth going for it. |

This. I almost forgot about that now that I thankfully have the blu-ray, but yeah, whew it was good seeing it get mentioned with these announcements and getting simuldubbed so that Funi’s dub for them can continue since I’ve really enjoyed the dubs for Strike/Brave Witches. |

To be honest they don't really have anything this season I'm that interested in. Helpful Fox Senko-san and Afterlost sound like they have potential but nothing else is really jumping out at me.

Funimation acquired "Isekai Quartet" and "Strike Witches: 501st JOINT FIGHTER WING Take Off!" from Kadokawa. (Funimation's versions show Kadokawa's logo at the beginning.)
So Kadokawa's big deal with Crunchyroll has expired? |

I would say they are quite interested, given that CR has simulcast every Witches series up to this one. |

If scheduling conflicts or personal-related issues happened caused Voice Actor/Actress A to be replaced by Voice Actor/Actress B, there is the likely chance that the former could record their respective role for the eventual home video release.
Another thing is that this might be the first time some Eng. dub VA experience the pressures of committing to a weekly simuldub. Note that I am talking about those that played a main or major supporting character from the respective prev. anime versions of their characters. If they played a minor character that was in a Funi simuldub for a few episodes but the characters had only a few lines for each epi., there is likely not as much pressure. |
