Wow, they're really going back and dubbing stuff. I'm curious what will be next.

And some actual LA VA's! It's nice to see Laura Stahl as a lead again. Having her and Khoi voice opposite gender versions of the same character is cute, although I kind of wish they had had Khoi voice Jinguji. Not that I can complain about more J. Michael Tatum.

Heh. J Miachel Tatum voicing a [definitely not] gay character.

Since all these dubs are being announced I have my fingers crossed for Princess Connect Re:Dive to get one. Actually surprised it hasn't already gotten one. Seems a perfect fit for the stuff that normally gets dubbed.

I'm surprised it wasn't dubbed back in 2020 considering that Crunchyroll is in charge of the en release of the game and has been heavily promoting it on the website since then. I know those are different divisions, but still.

For what it's worth, it was always the in-house dubs that have been affected by that mandate, not studios they partner with (like in this show's case, Studio Nano)

@JustMonika & @FlyingOrange The anime was likely made to help sell the mobile game (And it worked, got me to play it and many others) Dubbing the anime would cost more money and I would not ever expect that anime to get a dub, it'll likely be a Sub only anime and thats fine, the video game also is Japanese VA only with English subs in the US and it works great. The VA are imo, top tier, the characters feel alive and I don't say that lightly. What am saying is, if u haven't tried the anime/game yet give it a try cus if u'r waitng for an English Dub, it'll likely never come. Lastly, the anime and game have different stories, but the anime does take plenty of moments and story (including from the main story) from the game (Esp the 2nd season) while also making plenty of changes too (S2's Kiri/Kasumi ep was better than the one in game for Kasumi/Kiri which was Kasumi's Bond Story in the game as an example) so its worth seeing both the anime and game's story.

On this thread's topic, am glad this got a dub, just hope they handle it right like the Sub did with the pronouns used and life lesson talks that occasionally came up. I am still hoping we get a 2nd season as it was a great anime and I'd love to see the rest. :)
