I am a big sub only release defender, but will admit I am disappointed with the lack of a dub on the Lucky Star OVA.
I really enjoyed both tracks on the Lucky Star series, it was great to listen to the sub, and wonder how they would handle the same sequence in the dub. They did an awesome job. There was a sequence where Konata was telling Kagami on a bus what her email address was. The sub/dub tracks were greatly different, but the main gist and nuances of the joke came through perfectly for both audiences. Like Beck, Black Lagoon, Pani Poni Dash, and Haruhi I really love hearing a great dub that obviously took a ton of work to produce. The sales figures on Lucky Star must have really been well below expectations for them to cancel the #6 LE, and not do the dub on the OVA. As a fan of visual novels, I am very happy with finally getting Sola and True Tears. I was seriously considering buying these under BVU's draconian pricing. With Visual novels, I think the extra layer of abstraction (animation plus subtitling) makes it easier for me to get into and enjoy the story. |

Well, I definitely would not. The volumes are already expensive as they are. However, regarding the single OVA, I would expect a dub at $15 for 30 freaking mins... |

I have to say, I'm happy to hear Code Geass and Gurren Lagann manga are moving along. I really enjoyed the first Code Geass light novel! The Lelouch and Suzaku manga series were both interesting as well, though I have yet to pick up the Nunally one.

No kidding though i wasnt susprised. They did the same thing with the original Gundam movies which had fans on the wrong end with them in those days.Got a feeling the otakus will be screaming bloody murder for not having adub version of the oav when the TV dub is good. Also glad to see they doing a box set for 00. Probably their most decent dub since gundam wing. (Which is no susprise since it's being taken care of by Ocean Studios who's been doing gundam series since the first one and being voiced by gundam vetran brad (Light Yagami) Swaile.Though i was sure matt hill would VA as setsuna though.) ironacly the first season had a similar feeling to wing though it's 2nd season is somewhat like Zeta Gundam,unfortunately the gundam themselves for this series pale in comparision to Wing Zero & Strike Freedom though Exia is cool enough. Wonder how will it's manga counterpart do???? I read the Nightmare of Nunally and it's really a new twist to the series,especially since it's now Lelouch's sister who has the geass power instead. Seriously recomend this manga cause of the twist and i know nana fans will like it too Does this mean they'll create OAV's of Nightmare of Nunally??? Cause i sure hope so.would really love to see that if it happens. Last edited by jr240483 on Sun Jul 05, 2009 6:27 am; edited 1 time in total |

I'm a huge Lucky Star fan, but I'm not going to buy seven separate DVDs. That's just too expensive for one anime, even one as great as this. I'll wait until the box set comes out. |

In case the right people might be listening, I'll chime in on the Lucky Star OVA needing a dub.
I also was very surprised at how good the LS dub was, and I've literally almost lost any ability to listen to dubs other than the handful of truly excellent ones. LS was a case where the writing and performances make each version stand alone as very entertaining. Maybe the series didn't do as well as expected, but everyone who did buy it would have paid $25 for a dubbed OVA just to complete the set, besides the fact that the OVA is excellent. |

Why the flip are they not dubbing the Lucky Star OVA!? The dub for the Lucky Star series is so good!
