Crying or Very sad At least let me dream of get Welcome to the Ballroom at a decent price with a dub.

At least it will most likely be on Crunchyroll, I know how much a lot of you guys hate Anime Strike. If not Crunchyroll, than it would be on Netflix, but they have Fate/Apocrypha, so they most likely wouldn't get two of the biggest shows of the season.

After that English subtitle trailer went up on Pony Canyon YouTube channel, it was all but confirmed in my mind that they'd end up with it.

Their pricing is pretty high. It's actually come down and they've moved towards larger collections, but their sets are notably more expensive than most of the LE's from Sentai and Funimation, and at least double the price of their regular editions.

For me, my problem comes down to their home releases.

Most of the shows they've released so far are usually sub only (Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!, Sound! Euphonium) and even if it does or will have a dub (Kuromukuro, Yuki Yuna is a Hero, possibly DAYS) only have have them because of Netflix.

Then there is the fact the stretch out their over priced collector's box set release of their shows to 3 parts ranging from $70-$90 depending on where you buy.

And while I didn't mind Limited or Collector's edition of show, I'd appreciated it if they were limited to a single box set or they release a vanilla version

So are videos for Show By Rock! and Attack on Titan Season 2, but if you look deep enough The Devil is a Part-Timer, Free! and Rail Wars!.

I know this isn't the strongest justification, but let me dream Crunchyroll or Funimation (hell I'd even take Sentai Filmworks) might licence the show. Sad Crying or Very sad

Rail Wars!, Free!, The Devil is a Part Timer, and Attack on Titan all came out before Ponycan USA was a thing.

If you want a recent example Dagashi Kashi which started in 2016 when Ponycan USA was established January 2015. And as for Attack on Titan, from what I understand show are licenced by season so could Ponycan have just keep season 2 all to itself and let the licence expire ala Aniplex and they also let Funimation licence and dub Attack on Titan: Junior High which also came after 2015 and is technically a standalone show.

Hell even after Ponycan USA became a thing, there are still things that lack any kind of licencing to this day. Skip Beat! took a Kickstarter Campaign to get a licence and I'm still waiting for High Speed! -Free! Starting Days- to be released in the states
