Felt like Sentai Filmworks would eventually license this anime due to Amazon holding on to its license for a while similar to other series they’ve licensed that are/were on Amazon (such as Land of the Lustrous and Made in Abyss). Now the question on my mind relating to this series is whether or not Sentai will create an English dub for it. I’m also wondering if other series that are Amazon exclusive right now, such as Happy Sugar Life, will be licensed and maybe even dubbed by Sentai in the near future.

This show is a pretty good time and I hope Sentai is able to dub it, but its doesn't come close to doing the manga justice.
As much as I'd like to see the author's other major series adapted, I know it would probably end up with similar issues.

Hope so. I really would love to own Happy Sugar Life. Such a heartbreaker.

If Sentai ever dubbed Happy Sugar Life, that would be a day one purchase for me! Very Happy

will release the anime in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Spain, and Portugal both digitally and on home video


For a while now I've been paying attention to these Sentai license announcements and this wording always confuses me. Has Sentai actually ever released anime on "select digital outlets" and home media in continental Europe? Does Sentai even do region 2/B releases? They're gonna make it available on Hidive in these countries, that's for sure and it does kinda count as a "digital outlet", but why do they talk about home media when it's not gonna happen? (This is not about this particular series, just Sentai licenses in general.)

They probably license the rights to UK and certain European markets and than sublicense them to companies like MVM who always handle the Sentai titles in the UK.
