YES! FINALLY! I've been waiting on this to be announced.

Edit: I wonder why they replaced Alison Viktorin in the cast. It's not like she hasn't done simuldubs in the past. Maybe it was a scheduling thing.

She retiring from Voice acting for some circumstances:

1.first after she tweet her opinion about the riot in january, then she get lot of backlash from fans on twitter, many of them were dissapointed and began to insult and comdemn her.

2. second, she want to retired because she want to focus to take care of her family.

If that first part is true, I see where that would cause problems.

Figured this would be coming up soon given that it's one of the more popular sequels this season (and that the ADR director for this show will be finishing up Megalobox Nomad pretty soon).

Also hoping Vanitas and/or Kageki Shoujo follow soon!

So they say it will be available "in funimation", but it is not available in funimation latin america, as usual the gringos threat us like second class users.

I hate how people treat dub voice actors like they need to be perfect and never mention any problems that they have. Meanwhile if they don't say something then it is just as bad.

I mean, there's a difference between not being perfect and actively voicing your support for those committing an attempted coup.

Hopefully there'll be a Spanish dub from Crunchy or Funi. The one for the first season was surprisingly good! It's a shame that Alison Viktorin, but she definitely was vocal in her opinions.

If crunchyroll announced that a dub would be available "in crunchyroll" you bet it will be available in latin america as well; yeah, even the english dubs. For Funimation to triumphantly announce that the english dub would be available in their streaming platform, without any fine print like in english speaking countries just shows how little they care about countries outside the angloshpere.

Do people in Mexico watch American English dubs? Why would you rather watch an English dub than the sub or a Mexican Spanish dub that Crunchyroll will eventually release? Funimation doesn't dub Kobayashi in any language other than English.

Let me point that gun back at you. Do people in the USA watch latin spanish dubs? Because Funimation has been making those available in the USA (and other parts of the anglosphere, like Australia, which has neglible latino immigrant population) those dubs, want to know how Fire Force sounds in spanish? No problem, just change the language in the app or web browser.

Just an in japan, in Mexico the second taught language is english and one learning tool is watching TV series spoken in english (with english or spanish subtitles).

Nobody said otherwise. What irks me is this big "Mission Acomplished" triumphalism that could not bother to include in the press release what countries were covered or at the very least, what regions (i.e. latin america) were left out. Funimation attitude reeks of "but, but, latinos can't read english, everyone knows that, the press release is for Englishmen only"
