Yep, that was one of the awesomest songs of the year. Which makes all the more infuriating that the animation going with it manages to be one of the most convoluted, generic intros I've ever seen.

It was bad but nobody publicly denounced it like how the author of the original Magical Warfare books denounced the anime.
I at least got some entertainment from Dai-Shogun, if only at laughing at how bad it was, and some of the characters. Didn't get any from Magical Warfare whatsoever. |
After watching 2 episodes of Dai-shogun, I stopped and I keep losing faith in the anime industry. |
unfortunately for me I had the displeasure of going through dai-shogun but it just really bored me but that's about it. The only redemming factor of the show was that I stopped watching it I Think at like episode 5 or 6 and never looked back and also the ending theme from nano born to be was pretty good so besides that it was really bad and I don't say that a lot because I really like looking at horrible shows just as research.

Maybe the Japanese side requested a dub in hopes that it would sell more copies? Thats the only reason I could think of that they would dub it (assuming this show is as bad as everyone says)
Im really dissappointed bout captain earth not getting dubbed. Im still considering buying the release though, cause who knows, maybe if it does well enough they'll go back and dub it.

I think what hurt Captain Earth was a combination of its length and the fact that it doesn't appear to have a UK distributor yet, though Hannabee has it in Australia. However, with it already picked up down under, I could see it getting re-released with a dub later, especially if the UK jumps on board.
TBS is on the production committee for Magical Warfare, and with the exception of slice of life shows, nearly everything of theirs has been getting a dub of late. Even some shows that were initially released sub-only were given the dub treatment later, sometimes even years later. I'm wondering if this may have something to do with it, especially as Sentai seems to have exclusive dibs on TBS shows.
Edit: It appears that Sentai licensed this one from Media Factory.

Think I made it to the second episode, then put it out of my mind and never thought about it again.

They're dubbing it and they're gonna make it awesome! It'll make a meh anime into something you just have to add to the shelf. You'll see...

Now that I think about it, wouldn't it be awesome if they gave this show the Ghost Stories treatment?

If there ever was a time a parody/joke dub would have a shot at making a better product, it is this. At least it can't get worse...

Never thought Magical Warfare would get the dub treatment. I don't usually call a series bad if I enjoy aspects of it, but MW is bad IMO. Sure, I did enjoy some of it, and it does have the typical troupes spread through it...but pacing issues killed it.
And, IMO, it ended just when it was looking like things would be going in an interesting direction. That ending left me floored...but, knowing that nothing will come of it, makes it one of the worst open endings to an anime I've seen.

If the Japanese companies want it to sell, they might allow this. Even if Sentai stayed faithful to the script, it may/may not sell better.

Well as I said, anime like this makes me lose faith in the industry.

I was exactly thinking the same.

Yeah well I'm not sure if giving a "ghost-stories" style dub will fix this mess which is Magical Warfare.

Yes, Sentai. Go ahead and waste money dubbing a show that sold really poorly in Japan. Ugh, I sometimes don't get why some shows get physical and dubbed releases while others don't. I mean, things like Gosick and C3, which sold around 3k or 2k copies (which aren't that impressive either, but better than some shows), don't get anything, but crud like OniAi (which was sub only), Diabolik Lovers (never seen it, just going by sale numbers), and Mahou Sensou do.

Well Gosick was picked up. It just had the misfortune of getting picked up by Bandai 6 months before Bandai cancelled all future releases and stopped producing DVDs.

Oh, I'm aware that Gosick was to be released at one point. I guess I'm a little bitter that no one else picked up the license again.
