Not good enough. I’ve only got one episode left and I’m not waiting until March to watch it.

They'd stop if it was costing them money, but it's clearly working just fine for them. Most Americans would rather binge than watch week by week

It’s Legoshi/Legosi, not Regoshi. I understand it’s Japanese, but...

Edit: Look on Viz’s website where they have the summary for the English translations of this manga, where it says his name.

Edit2:
Here is one of the stores for the serial publisher that have goods with English names:

Here is another set of goods with his name in English:

Lastly, here is the Mangaka herself tweeting a picture of a bag with his name in English:

Could this be corrected in the encyclopedia and articles?

Edit3:
I went ahead and filed an error report with the form on the encyclopedia. Thanks for the article update!

Don't blame Americans for Netflix's binge watch model. They are forcing that into us whether we want it or not.

Honestly, once piracy of their shows finally starts to dip into their licensed anime viewership, they'll do one of two things:

Best case scenario, they cave and do weekly simulcasts outside of Japan.
Worst case scenario, they stop licensing TV anime for distribution outside of Japan.

Either way, that's a win for us simulcast folks.
Cause what Netflix won't license, someone who does simulcast will.

So keep on keeping on folks~ Wink

They released violet evergarden on a weekly basis so they've tried a weekly model already, must've not worked. its not like a whole show being available at once inherently means you MUST binge watch it anyway, Clearly its more financially viable to dump it all at once outside of japan (where they do air weekly on Netflix) and has been for a good couple years now. Different business models for different companies, but maybe the success of weekly streamed shows like the mandalorian and such could tempt them to re look at releasing weekly.

I'm curious how the English version will sound ESPECIALLY Jack's spoiler[little dance] and Haru's spoiler[closed-door bedroom moments at the gardening club and the love hotel.] I'm expecting a few cringy English lines to be honest even if it's Netflix we're talking about.

Chikahiro Kobayashi is an absolutely great voice actor when it comes to masculine male characters. His voice fits Legosi perfectly and all of the tiny nuances with his voice acting just added so much to Legosi. Sugimoto (Golden Kamuy) is voiced perfectly by him as well. Unfortunately the English version of Sugimoto voiced by Ian Sinclair wasn't really that good in my opinion. That's not to say Ian Sinclair is a bad voice actor (he's quite the opposite), it's just that Mr. Sinclair's vocal range doesn't really fit Sugimoto.

It's like they intentionally try to kill all hype for their series at Netflix. I'm glad it's coming out but I think the wait really hurt the shows popularity.

I would be really surprised, at least in the Latin American Spanish dub, if many of the voice actors who worked in the dub of Zootopia worked in the dub of this series, mainly Rene Garcia, who voiced Nick, and Romina Marroquin Payro (Judy).

I really like Netflix for releasing anime series all at once, rather than weekly, as I like to binge watch them. Glad I have waited to binge this series as well

They only released Violet Evergarden weekly in the UK. The US still had to wait for it to come out all at once. On the other hand, Netflix has seemingly no issue streaming their anime weekly in Japan. It’s only outside Japan that they insist on the binge watch model. Which makes me wonder if this is something that’s being insisted upon by the Japanese licensors.

Alright, an assistant director from Ghibli is directing this? Now I'm even more interested in seeing it. It's also one of the only few Netflix stuff I'd watch (call me old-school, but I don't get this whole modern streaming appeal).

Doubtful - Violet Evergarden's Non-US simulcast seems to have mostly been thanks to pressure from the production committee (I guess the couldn't get them to budge on the US) and multiple creators for series have expressed frustration or surprise at Netflix not releasing series abroad when they air. Heck Beastars' mangaka first found out publicly, through twitter, that Netflix wasn't streaming the series outside of Japan.

An English fandub exists for comparison and it's actually decent. They got the casting for Louis perfect in my opinion.

The official dub is being handled by Spliced Bread Productions. Their choices tend to be very safe and they cast Johnny Yong Bosch in a lot of lead roles.
