NEWS: Funimation Announces Fall English Dub Line-Up

No Bungo Stray Dogs? 'Kay. A list this large says more about the shows that are not chosen than the ones which are.

Anyhoo, is this going to be okay? I mean lots of these have enormous casts, and are there so many English VA's available? If they use more or less the same voices for all the shows, isn't the novelty thereof going to where off? Well I suppose they can pull hopefuls off of Youtube to fill roles, but still.

As I'm not American, I can't watch Funi dubs so I don't know what they sound like. Can some one enlighten me about this please?

Also...All Out? A rugby anime? It's not Eyeshield you know...will that really be okay with an American audience?

I didn't expect them to dub this much. I just hope they don't stretch themselves too thin by dubbing all of these (but that may be unavoidable to an extent)

Brave Witches hasn't even aired yet, so let's hold off on the knee-jerk reactions

I think Bungo Stray Dogs will get the Snow White with the Red Hair treatment - first season dubbed and released in spurts, then season 2 will air halfway through the airing seasons (so like mid-November). It'd be the best way to handle it, honestly, and if they're dubbing season 1 one, the actors I'll have a better grasp on their characters when season begins.

Hopefully they don't run into any issues like they did with Snow White and have the temporarily replace an actor for an episode...

And a actor being replaced for an episode is bad why? Despite it sounded different i had no issue with it. its not like the DVD/blu-ray release will have that. You forget that with weekly dubs the dubbing team is on a very tight schedule.

I hope I read that correctly but did Funimation say they would not stream anything subbed anymore? I always felt theirs subs were way better than what I see on Crunchyroll. I'm not interested in watching Japanese versions of my favorite animes on that site unless CR has better translators who can type in better sounding dialogue.

Am I asking for too much?

It's not *bad* per se, just very unexpected, but their tight schedules are pretty insane. Back at Katsucon earlier this year, I asked both Austin Tindle and Ian Sinclair about broadcast dubs and how their schedules work with them and they both responded with how crazy everything was, but how fun it was to record them and have a stable schedule of recording like that.

And yeah, I know the final home video release will feature the correct voices, but it still doesn't stop the fact that it threw me for a loop when it happened. I had even searched the Internet for an explanation but none was given at the time of airing said episode. I think that's what rubbed me the wrong way a bit - if Funimation had sent out a tweet or something that week to the effect of "BTW, this role will temporarily be filled by so-and-so because the original voice couldn't record this week's episode." Then again, maybe they don't owe us any explanations at all. It's whatever, to be honest, and it probably won't ever happen again anyway. If it happened more than once, I wouldn't know since I don't watch all of their broadcast dubs anyway.

-Marc.

The ADR director actually tweeted about the replacement. That he voiced it himself.
