I'm glad to see Rokka finally get an English dub in spite of PonyCanyon's efforts to cancel it. This wasn't the perfect fantasy show but it did have enough of a unique spin to keep me interested and it's too bad we never got a second season to it. I haven't watched it since it first aired so the English dub will give me a good reason to revisit it.

I watched the sub and I thought it was pretty good.

I should probably read the LN at some point to get to know more about what happens later on.

I've already seen the dub for Rokka and Its pretty awesome. However it needs more then just 12 ep...

What do you mean by PonyCan efforts to cancel it?

So who holds the American rights for Rokka anyway? PonyCan the physical release rights and Crunchy the streaming? Its a pretty weird licensing situation...

@TheMorry
Pony Canyon owns the rights in the US and Japan. Crunchyroll licensed Rokka for streaming from Pony Canyon. You can see that on the front Rokka page, bottom right corner under "Publisher".
Who knows, maybe Pony Canyon will re-release a bluray version with CR's dub later or maybe CR will. Interestingly, CR has international dubs for Rokka, not just the English one.

I wonder in these kinds of cases if CR is using the bluray version or the TV/streaming version.

And Anime Limited got the UK & France licenses from Crunchyroll. that's where the confusion is coming from since it implies they have more than just streaming rights here (especially since they had it dubbed), same goes for Kiznaiver.

This would go to anyone who has a FUNiroll release and while I can't confirm anything myself, I'm pretty certain they do at least have the home video version for Berserk 2016 since FUNi reuploaded the Japanese comparison on the month that set came out here.

It's on hiatus for years, I don't recommend it.

One would think with this WarnerMedia consolidation effort, CR could expand this show's and other shows' availability to "worldwide except Japan and China". In doing so, you have an even bigger audience that can enjoy CR.

If the current lack of a conclusive ending bothers you, that's fair, but I'd say it's still worth reading if you're interested in a well-written fantasy series that has some pretty creative ideas and isn't isekai.
