About all I can say for this show is that I'm glad some actor/writers/engineers were paid.

On a more positive note, I am happy to see Ryan Colt Levy get a first(?) leading role. I really liked his work in the newest MHA movie and Moriarty and I hope we get to hear more from him!

The way things are now, they can't record everything themselves. Besides, the common complaint was that they kept using "the same" actors, so I don't see outsourcing as a bad thing.


That said, this is one of the few times where my reaction to a dub announcement is, "Why?" This was not well received at all, and I doubt anyone would have blamed them for a sub-only release.

Yeah I'll be honest, a dub for this show would just result in me looking at the visuals more often and having a worse experience lmao

I kind of wonder if some shows get licensed with an agreement that Funimation will pay for a dub. Otherwise you’re right that this one is a head scratcher.

Well, a strong cast for a less than stellar title.

I don't see how outsourcing is a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with that.

That said, the show itself looks terrible. I'm curious about the visuals but I think I'll pass.

Sent to film works manages to hire local talent for their dubs just fine despite being much smaller. Funimation has gotten stale.

Sentai doesn't have a massive backlog of shows to work through. Some gotta get sent outside the state or they will never catch up. Still plenty getting dubbed in Texas.
