You mean the dubbing companies themselves, or the licensors that use them?

because i don't really know the whole sequence of getting dubs to market here in the USA
..Because being so newly re-introduced to anime (i left for 25 years when i thought i was too grown up for it…now re-realized Hollywood cant keep up with my thirst for sic-fi/
fantasy/supernatural shows as well as they won't take as many chances that Anime does…AAAAND i really can't handle Commercial filled television
IF ….thats not to much to ask of you

Well, off the top of my head, here are some of the anime distributors in the US/Canada that usually/sometimes do dubs:
- Viz
- Sentai Filmworks
- FUNimation
(- Media Blasters: recently they've been running on a skeleton crew, haven't done dubs for anime recently)
(- Aniplex: some great anime sets, usually sub-only)
(- NISA: great sets for the price, sub-only)
(- Discotek: focus mainly in anime re-releases, don't produce dubs but have dubs on their sets if they are available to them)

And some of the recording companies:
- NYAV Post
- Ocean Studios
- Studiopolis
- Bang-Zoom
- FUNimation's in-house voice talent
- Next Generation Pictures
- Seraphim Digital (Sentai's in-house studio)

I loved Red Data Girl so that one's a must have for me. I had absolutely no hope that it would ever be released since I seem to recall reading that it didn't do all that well.

I'll pass on the rest. Couldn't stand Date A Live, never seen Code:Breaker and even though I did like Karneval, I didn't like it enough to actually want to buy it.

Some more that I can think of:

- OkraTron 5000 (Chris Sabat's recording studio; does a lot of FUNimation's shows)
- Blue Water Studios (an extension of the Ocean Group, located in Calgary)
- Arvintel (another L.A. based studio, known for doing cheap Media Blasters dubs)
- Salami Studios (Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt's studio; has done some work for Viz)
- Coastal Studios (North Carolina studio; has done work for Bandai, AnimEigo, and Media Blasters)
- Animaze (former Bandai studio; currently defunct)
- Odex (Singapore-based studio; does most English dubs for Animax)
- ZRO Limit Productions (yet another L.A. based studio)

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

And for a short time, did English dubs for Bandai & Geneon.

as far as I am aware, the Australian market really only uses the North American dubs and when one isn't available, release a show as sub only. A smart move since the majority of Odex dubs are awful
