Well, Funimation dubbed Darwin's Game, so Crunchyroll is going to dub Battle Game in 5 Seconds as their Death Game anime of the season.
I guess I'm not surprised that with two continuing dubs (To Your Eternity and Iruma-kun) they're only dubbing three other shows and two of which are sequels. I would've liked to have seen Girlfriend, Girlfriend dubbed and maybe Aquatope, Tsukimichi and Seirei, but those seemed like longshots. |

Caitlin Glass at FUNi would've dubbed Aquatope in a heartbeat. Thanks, Crunchy. Also, Crunchy not dubbing a popular show (and KyoAni's grand return to TV Anime) like Dragon Maid S into English HAS to mean that FUNi is dubbing it themselves, right? Because, if not, Dragon Maid S being dubbed in multiple languages EXCEPT English would be INCREDIBLY petty of Crunchyroll. |

I was kinda hoping for The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace to get dubbed, but oh well. I don't plan on watching any of the shows on this line-up.
Keep up the good work with the 86, To Your Eternity, Tokyo Revengers and Iruma-kun dubs though! Those are great stuff. EDIT: Oh I just realised Maid Dragon S2 is not licensed by Funi. So I guess we shouldn't be expecting a dub for that one then? |

The two second seasons are no surprise, and I guess I had a hunch from the premise that Battle Game would as well.
Hard to say. They have done dub-only streaming for several (but not all) sequels to things from the partnership days, with some of those announced after the subbed version started. |

Yeah, I'm expecting Dragon Maid to just get dubbed by Funimation like they have past co-licenses.

Just one non-sequel, that's kinda disappointing.

I'm still holding out hope that Funi will announce that they are dubbing Dragon Maid S like they did QQ S2 and Demon Lord Omega.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll wait a little longer in this case. Not that I dislike Maid Dragon in Japanese, but Sarah Wiedenheft in a main role is always great to listen to <3

I'll hold out a bit of hope that later on it somehow might get a dub with a physical release. Hopefully the streaming numbers do well enough that it's considered. |

Didn't expect Battle Game to be the one non-sequel to be dubbed, I would have thought it'd be Aquatope, Girlfriend Girlfriend, or even giving the slot to Dragon Maid (though I hope Funi does come back to do that anyway)

Funimation is dubbing s2 of Demon Lord so I think it's pretty likely they will dub Miss Kobayashi s2. I'm surprised and disappointed they're not dubbing Aquatope but I guess I shouldn't be after Odd Taxi was sub only even though it was co-produced by Crunchyroll. I would have thought they would dub Peach Boy Riverside to cash in on Coolyousinnjya.

Its been said a million times now but I do wish Crunchyroll would actually start releasing their full credits for their dubs its such a inconvenience to dub fans.

I couldn't agree more with this statement. |

It kind of surprises me how many major characters for Crunchy dubs end up being uncredited/left to guesswork. I don't think anyone's been confirmed to voice Annette from 86 for example. |
