NEWS: Sentai Filmworks Announces The World God Only Knows Dub Cast

Dubs are not food, water, or shelter and are hardly worth being thankful for just because of their existence.

No business is entitled to my money. Yours maybe but not mine.

Chris Patton as the lead?

Hmmm, I didn't care for TWGOK, but Patton is easily my favorite English voice actor. I'll check the dub out at least.

You are right, but a lot of people come up with some excuse as why they will not spend their money on something.

I know dubs are the not the same as those listed above. I am saying that we should still be thankful that some dubs are still being made.

And I'm saying the mere existence of dubs is not enough to be thankful for because it implies they are some sort of necessity.

No, but to those who are dub fans hardcore or otherwise it can be a necessity to determine if a show that got released gets purchased by them or not.

A lot of fans think that dubs are a necessity.

You say this but also commented about people coming up with excuses to not buy stuff.

So happy to hear that Chris Patton and Luci Christian will be voicing the two leads! They always sound great together, what an awesome duo.

And here I thought Patton quit the biz after voicing Greed in the first half of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (he was replaced by Troy Baker in the 2nd, who seemed to make an effort to sound like Patton's Greed). But I guess he's back and working with Sentai!

Even though I personally lost interest in the manga later on, the anime is still good and the fact that Christopher Patton is on the show, means it's likely to be exceptional.

Finally Sentai, this may be the first English dub you guys are doing that may not be as bad as let's say the last few.

But you know, I am just grateful that Sentai even picked this series up and dubbed it though. I figured that this show would probably never be licensed, but I am just glad it is. Going to honest here, would have preferred Funimation to license it, but oh well.

I'd even go as far as to say that I believe that no recent US-produced English Dub is a "bad dub." Are some better than others? Sure. Does that make the lower quality ones bad? No.

In addition, I don't believe Steven Foster is a bad director.

If I remember correctly I think he stopped going to conventions. It is good to hear that he doing more dubs.

He had originally planned to leave anime voice acting and focus on things audio books and video games. At that time, Sentai was only doing subtitled releases. I'm guessing since he lives in Houston he was contacted by Sentai about doing more work once they began dubbing again. He may simply no longer want to travel to Ft Worth, or there may have been other reasons why he no longer works at Funimation.

Funi had nothing to do with Vic being cast as the lead in kekkaishi, that's a Viz show all the way.

Personally I think Kekkaishi is one of the better dubs out there even though the show itself was a terrible fit for the AS crowd.
