English Dub

@Cielord i hope you're not bringing the sub VS dub dispute into my thread? if so, don't.

this next section is addressed to you Cielord AND anybody else that reads this Forum thread!

this thread is specifically concerning this one show and the utter lack of an English dub for over 1 year. i've had that debate on anime dub vs sub for over 30 years now, nobody on Earth is going to give me a new viewpoint or convince me of their viewpoint one way or the other. i've seen it all, i've heard it all, i've read it all. i like both subs n dubs in anime, i think they're both 100% entirely valid. NEITHER side is superior or inferior in ANY way.

Cielord, as to your specific statement... yes, i've already watched S1 subbed... if you read my opening statement in this thread, you would understand that. specifically, this quote, "to refresh my memory"... i want to re-watch anime in English dub that i previously watched subtitled to enjoy the show, the new writing choices, the new actors, and other reasons.

@Pablo_Neruda1 what brings you to that conclusion? :)

@Pablo_Neruda1

you do know those two entities are exactly the same company, right? HIDIVE is the STREAMING platform owned by Sentai Filmworks. Sentai is also owned by the 'conglomerate' entity AMC Networks since 2022.

also, S1 and S2 of 'Café Terrace' have been streaming on Crunchyroll since 2023 and July 4th for S2. i mentioned that MULTIPLE times in the Opening Statement of this thread. now that Funimation, Crunchyroll, and other entities worldwide (outside of Japan) concerning anime are owned (but not operated) by SONY Japan... understanding and remembering who owns what, and who operates which, and which shows appear on various platforms, are good facts to keep in your hip-pocket.

@Pablo_Neruda1 yeah, thanks for your input. if you haven't anything constructive to add, see yourself out.

@Cielord

i'm not complaining, i'm asking questions, looking for input, and discussing the facts at hand.

thanks for your input, you can be quiet now. you're not contributing anything to the conversation. see yourself out.

Just watch in sub.

Cielord said:
you want to watch it? There is no dub? Just watch in sub, don't want to watch in sub? Don't watch it then.

Why do yall always come to these discussion threads, creating post about why this or that hasn’t got a dub and cry about it in a essay? Just watch the sub (which is likely superior anyways) or don’t watch it at all. Not rocket science.

@ejleon unfortunately, studios do need cash, and a single season show with a 'somewhat' guaranteed audience of source material readers IS a decent investment for employees' time/effort/costs of production. whereas a protracted 'continuous production' show i.e. Black Clover and Case Closed needs LOTS of source materials to draw from...

all you have to do is pull up... let me find the link... https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Anime#cite_ref-fremrc3_5-0 that's a pretty definitive site that gives TOO MUCH info on Case Closed TV broadcasts ;> all you gotta do is scroll down ALOT! to 2024 and you'll see... let me count... 18 TV Original episodes (so far) this year... and... two of THOSE episodes were "rebroadcasts of remastered old Anime Original episodes" ;> and other information if you care to peruse that list yourself about "rebroadcasts of remastered Manga Sourced episodes" as well. never forgetting, 'oh is it March again? when is the new Conan theatrical movie coming out in April?' like almost every single year (outside of covid 2020) Conan's got his movie opening in April... ;>

that's the problem with a 'continuous production' show... anime original fillers... like the original 366 ep run of Bleach being a smidge over 50% fillers... or you could examine World Trigger with IT's WHOLE ARC of anime filler episodes in one season... and how often the show (and the manga) goes on 'hiatus' or 'break' for whatever reasons...

but i am seeing some interesting changes... the 13- and 14-episode season is increasing the numbers of titles using that format.

the 'consecutive cour' format of 24+ episodes is being used more.

the 'split cour' with 3+ months break in-between the 'parts' is crazy popular nowadays.

oh! the past 2 TV anime seasons we've seen a SHARP increase in the numbers of titles released via Japanese streaming services 1+ WEEKS ahead of the first episode popping up on TV schedules... this means the 'international streaming services' are ALSO getting those episodes the same day the Japanese streaming services are putting the episodes up. so, viewers via streaming (worldwide and inside Japan) are getting episodes earlier than the classic TV broadcast viewers in Japan do.

of course, Netflix has been doing their 'binge watch the whole thing!' mass releases of the entire season at once for a few years.

add into all that, Funimation/Crunchyroll's 'merger' has created a VERY neat idea. OTHER than English and Spanish dubs! they're dubbing (and subbing) anime (or paying folks) into seven (or so) languages now!

then there is a (i THINK) new idea, releasing eps 1 & 2 on the SAME day! not exactly like Re: Zero when they put their first two episodes together into one lonnnng format episode or Demon Slayer doing an extended length finale episode a few times... but that is definitely an interesting concept. hook the viewers with two WEEKS worth of content right off the starting line. :)

@Pablo_Neruda1 with what? They only release 1-3 dubs per season and those slots are more than not filled by an anime that already have previous seasons dubbed and have to do it out of obligation usually leaving 1 spot for a new dubbed show when more than not there are 4-5 legit ones that fans have openly requested a good bit in advance.
