Nice. Wonder if we'll ever get a KnB dub.

While I would like to see a dub, apparently Madman are planning to release the series subtitle only and DVD only.

There are so many sports anime fans (mainly fujoshi) on tumblr, so you'd think stuff like Prince of Tennis, Oofuri or Major would sell well, but no. Crying or Very sad

Not sure whether this is worth adding to the article, but Sly also mentioned that they were considering a Limited Edition release or something special along those lines given that this is kind of a big deal. But it seemed like a pretty big 'maybe' given that they've only just jumped on sporty bishonen bandwagon.

It absolutely baffles me that not one of these sport anime has gotten an English dub given their popularity among both male and female viewers. But never say never I guess. Last year at SMASH Love Live was nowhere to be found and the chances of a dub seemed slim at best. One year later a dub has been confirmed and the convention space is covered in Love Live.

Same here, or else I need a region-specific DVD/BD player for Madman Ent.'s series (add this to Chihayafuru).

Still holding out hope for KuroBas getting a stateside release someday. I will throw all my money at the BD.

Have to agree with you there, brother (Been a while since I've been mistaken for a guy lol).

Some LEs are worth the price but more often than not I can't justify dropping that kind of cash on a single series, even one I adore.

Keep the faith alive, comrade. *bro fist*

Apologies for bumping a three-year-old thread, but this is no longer true. According to their CSR.

I've been emailing them over the years about the status of the home video release, and have always received a vague response. However I finally received a definite denial in 2018. See second image:
