I have all three parts on Blu-Ray and have noticed so far that there are no English voice cast and crew credits after the Japanese credits even after all the episodes play. I know its a small thing, but it just seems strange that they are not included. Does anyone know why this happened?

I'm pretty sure this thread will get moved to the forum's anime section but I'll answer anyway, I don't own the show but knowing how they have handled credits the past 10+ years, it's probably because in this case, they're might have put them in the Limited Edition booklets. Viz has been weird about this where they don't always include English credits unless it's in a odd way and in some cases, they don't include any English credits at all (see Infini-T Force, it took someone from a Gatchaman fan forum contacting them through e-mail to get the dub staff & cast for both the show and movie because they're nowhere on the discs).

Examples:

-When the original Ranma ½ & Death Note got released on Blu-ray, they dropped the old credits from the VHS & old DVDs and included a small portion of them in their Limited Edition booklets. Same thing goes for their first time releases of Sailor Moon & JoJo's.

-When season 1 of One Punch Man was released on Blu-ray, they included all of them as separate special features for each episode. This would be the ideal way to handle it until you realize that it's the same ending video shown in full 12 more times.

-With the Sailor Moon movies, two of the three had them included as extras while one was only seen if you watched the dub in theaters, watched it on Crunchyroll (back when Viz had it streamed there) or own the Madman discs from Australia since they were given the same digital version that premiered in theaters here.

-With the Bleach-related series Burn The Witch, they actually included them in the Limited Edition's packaging under the plastic disc holder.

Thank you for answering. I didn't know about Viz media's history of doing this for their releases. I also have sent them this question through their site and doubt to hear back from them. It's really baffling that they would not just put the credits where people would expect it and instead put them in booklet. I would imagine that putting even the most basic credits on the disc would be cheaper for them than spending more money to print a booklet and pad it with credits. I know I'm probably in small group, but its so weird to me that I had search for some kind of answer.
