Well, I guess I'm glad I haven't picked up Maid Sama! yet. :p Hopefully the dub will be better than some of Sentai's other dubs.
Sadly, it's not the news I'd like to hear from Sentai, but it's good for now. |

Are these shows more popular than I thought they were? They seem like weird choices for dubs.

As much as I'd love that, I doubt it'll happen, as the series tanked in sales in Japan, and I doubt it's something that we Americans can get involved with, since it's not even a mainstream megahit here like The Big O was. What we can do, however, is hope for a western release of the original light novels. Yeah, it's a Kodansha title, but Vertical does do releases of Kodansha LN, as evidenced by their releases of the Attack on Titan prequel LNs, so we can ask them to localize Outbreak Company's LNs. They have the sites (Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter), so we just have to ask. |

Oh, you mean Mr. "He whos last name is suspiciously close to a popular brand of Australian beer"? He's done fairly good dubs in the past, I think that Sentai has been churning them out at a disturbingly fast rate, so thus the quality has dipped significantly. Hopefully whoever ends up directing will have the time and money needed to put together an English language track that lives up the the shows.
My thoughts exactly. I was hoping for news about Blu-Rays for Non Non Biyori, The Big O, and the Patlabor movies. Hopefully we'll hear about those later. But this is good news in general. I am very happy to see Sentai able to go back and re-release improved versions of their stuff . |

I'm super-happy that I'll get to own Kaminai on DVD!!
After some frantic searching, according to Amazon reviews, what quiwzart said seems to be true. o_o But remember that spoiler[in Kaminai's world, the dead continue living...so...even if Alis and Ai are dead...I guess they're still.....functioning or something...  ; I dunno.]
The reviews are saying it's a good ending. |

If there's any Sentai show that deserves a dub the most, it'd definitely be Humanity Has Declined IMO. I just hope the discs sold well enough for it to be considered. Then again, you never know. |

That's where I checked as well but google translate kind of failed xD As long as its a good ending, I'm okay with it. Although this kind of series pretty much has to have a bittersweet ending. Hope I can get the full details someday! |

Ah...Right, if I correctly recall, someone mentioned in some other thread ages earlier that they spend, on average, only 4 hours on recording... Yep, I think that may explain the slip-ups that I've noticed within some of Sentai's shows. |

Now I need to decide if I want to buy Maid Sama! again.
I did buy Tears to Tiara and Kashimashi for a second time when they got dubs. I like Maid Sama! better than Kashimashi so I probably will get it. |

Glad to see Maid Sama finally getting its dubbing. Normally it doesn't take them as long after I give-up and grab the DVDs for cheap though. They must be backlogged (or someone forgot to hit refresh for a while.)
No mention of which format this will come out on though, so trying not to be too pessimistic. |

The only weird thing about Maid Sama! getting a dub was how long it took, it really should have been done before SA and Outbreak Company is getting released with a dub so that's just basic.
Sunday Without God though? That is different; I loved the show and certain plot points still echo in my mind {the ... first one and that last one makes a beautiful book end}, the visuals are fantastic and I want it on BD now that it will be dubbed {Humanity Has Declined...} but it's a strange show and not even like penguindrum or tsuritama. Those are stories while Sunday Without God is more of an ... allegory? It's like an emotion with character names {main character's named ai/"love", another's Scar so completely intentional}. Nothing can be done, it's just something to experience. And Tomoko Market's getting a BD release. Better but I wonder what will come out first, Chuuibyo or that one. So if a show gets a subbed DVD release, it can get dubbed {Stony Cat, SNAFU, come on and work with me here, Sentai...} but what about shows that now get subbed BD releases? I'm sure Retailers just love having to wade through all this excess overstock {note: dripping with sarcasm} done by a company who can't tell what's worthwhile {hint: it's not bread. Wait, If it's bread that bleeds, its good}. And High School of the Dead will get rereleased in a box set, most likely with the OVA. So? It's a one season show with a twenty minute OVA, already dubbed, already on BD; Beyond the breasts and zombies, there's nothing there. A K-On! box set I could see that, first BD collection, hype it up! Do these guys need a "how to sell anime" pamphlet? |

I'm all for a Maid-sama! dub. Don's really know the other series well enough to care one way or the other yet, but for a series to be exposed to a broader audience is almost always a good thing. |
