A Japanese dub was inevitable, given that the source material is actually Japanese. A little surprising that it was first released without a Japanese simuldub.

It's simple Chinese CCP companies

They want the market and fans to admire Chinese Crying or Very sad Confused Dub( Despite being cringe emotion less and very fast )

I had no idea this was released with a Chinese dub - suppose I should have actually watched some of it by this point, but... Guess I'll wait for the Japanese dub at this point.

Don't make baseless claims and keep your anti-Chinese sentiment in check.

Any company in any country has the right to enter the Anime animation industry. However, said country needs to respect the work of animation projects from other countries. If China wants us to watch and respect their anime/animation work, they shouldn't do stuff like what they did to the recent Minions movie.

Why is the Minions movie being invoked as an example here? It isn't even an anime. Also, the censorship by the Chinese government has nothing to do with individual animation studios in China, which are merely following rules but do not set the rules themselves. I'm not here to defend China, which I think is an increasingly problematic authoritarian superpower, but the baseless criticisms against Chinese animation by some misinformed anime fan because of their anti-Chinese bias (which often conflates the nation with the people) is simply indefensible.

Yes, the Chinese animation studios do have more or less free reign. Just don't forget the CCP can step in at any point they want. Let's not forget what happened during what some in the West dubbed the Cultural Revolution 2.0.
