Kind of strange not seeing Monica Rial in the cast. It feels like she could play every character in the show.

What's the significance of it being labeled "uncensored"? Wouldn't it have been uncensored anyway?

It depends on what they had for the subtitled version. I don't know about this one in particular, but they have dubbed stuff after receiving the uncensored materials later. Plus, for Sentai, being willing to grab stuff like that is still one of their selling points.

I remember when ecchi was Funimations (RIP) bag. Long gone are the days of Funi licensing shows like High School DxD, Keijo, and Cat Planet Cuties.

You can also watch Yosuga no Sora on Crunchyroll. Be a cold day in hell before they'd license something like that again, lol

The streaming version they have is already uncensored.

So... We are like 2 weeks away from the start of the spring anime season, 3 months ago they were adding Flower and Asura to their winter 2025 line-up, by then they had already announced Beheneko, Neet Kunoichi and From Bureaucrat to Villainess. Back to this day, they're announcing a backlog dubcast from the fall 2024 anime season. Is this going to be Hidive's driest season?[/url]

I have to admire their commitment to still dubbing shows like this.

I'd say "dedication" relies on considering how low in the ANN ratings it was, but then CR doesn't dub a show unless it showed a level of viewership that they think might be enhanced by a dub.

Having her voice Tomoatsu "Human" Naoe would be weird.

I would not have guessed that the was a big audience for an English language dub of a half-length show directed at viewers with a BBW fetish (there cannot be that many of us who watched to see how bad it would be - I rated it Not Really Good, which was better than most of its review ratings).

Unfortunately I think that ship sailed when the second BD set released sub-only. Incredibly disappointing, seeing such a great show get cut off halfway.
