Two things

1. When did Funimation license this? I haven't seen any official announcements.

2. Complete box sets aren't a guarantee with Funimation. See: Claymore/Baccano.

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

They have to license it before they can dub it.

Anyway, I don't know man. I don't think this one's gonna be good if dubbed. I prefer it subbed because some of the jokes are on-screen.

You must have no taste in dubs. They are the best dubbing company out there. I think Funimation will license it before anybody else does.

Well, it's all about preference anyway.

That would be pretty awesome. They generally do a good job with dubs, and it's not like you can't watch it with Japanese audio and subs on. >__>

It wouldn't be funny. Del Rey pulled it off because they have translation notes, but tn's looks stupid in anime. Pink Branch Boss wouldn't be funny.

I think funimation would be a good company for this, because all the Funimation stuff I bought lately has had dual audio on it. And I love having offically released stuff. I am dying to own a boxed set of this anime.

Ew gross, I hope it never gets dubbed ever. Can't hack the subs? Then looks like you're going to miss out. Dubbing this anime would create an abomination.

Why would they dub it?!
If you don't live in Japan, (or you're not a MEGA otaku) you'll have no freaking clue about what half the show is talking about!!

NO. WAY. IN. HELL. is anyone ever dubbing this.

I'm sorry. Go buy your box sets illegally online.

Don't kid yourself. This anime will never get licensed because it's too difficult to translate. So much of the humor revolves around puns and Japanese culture that would be lost in a dub. Not only that, NOBODY WOULD BUY IT. It would be the same situation as Azumanga Daioh and Higurashi. A show is really popular among fansubbers but it doesn't translate to sales because people like it, but they don't want to pay money for it. The only reason the manga was licensed is because they can have translators notes in the back of the book that the reader can flip to when they feel like it. To sum things up, this show will never get licensed, so don't get your hopes up for a boxset or dub.

Higurashi didn't sell well because it was a horrible dub. The voice acting was something you would have found from an early 90's dub.

LOLOLOL SELF-HATING WEEABOOS CAN'T STAND THEY'RE OWN LANGUAGE.

ahem, that aside, Funi dubbed Shaft's Negima!? which had a lot of blackboard Japanese culture jokes like SZS and that was an outstanding dub imo. The DVD came with a feature that translated and described each culture joke, too so it is possible.

I'm a bandwagon whore

You say it will never get licensed but it already has been licensed by media blasters. They are going to release the subbed dvd in may

Seeing how anal weeaboos get about dubs, I hope somebody DOES dub it.
