^No, I don't think there's a dub.

But this is great news! If Manga are releasing it, it'll probably be in one set at a reasonable price (these are the guys who'll a sell a bloody 51-episode series in one set after all). I'll totally be buying this.

That's awesome. I did like this show, and always wondered why Crunchyroll never showed it over here. I'll be picking this up for sure.

confirmed on twitter as sub-only, two sets of two discs.

Only if Manga has digital rights for it and chooses to sub-license to Crunchyroll. Since this has never happened before... they would be more likely to parter with AoD anyway.

Poor show from Manga for me, 2 set sub only release going backwards.

Unless this is a heavily discounts price over the dub releases i wont be interested in buying.

Blame America for not dubbing it. I don't think Manga dubs anything themselves.

They don't, but I don't think the lack of a dub is the main problem here, it's that splitting it into two sets when it's a sub-only release is pushing it a bit.

In fairness, there's isn't a precident for releasing 24-26 episode series in a single block at first, regardless of it's audio options. It could be worse, it could be the US release which is 4 parts.

There'll be a complete collection released eventually. There usually is for 26 episode shows. I managed to get Buso Renkin complete for £12 the other week, and I've seen the Ouran High School Host Club complete boxset going for around £20, so...

Manga would only dub something if they could sell the dub on to another country like the US (back when Manga was big they were releasing in the US themselves, which is why they dubbed everything back then) or they had someone else chipping in (which is the situation with Welcome to the Space Show). Since the US has already decided to forgo the dub, it's not happening.
