F.A.Q. When is [Anime] going to be dubbed? Where can I watch it? - Megathread v10

Welcome to Version 10 of the Megathread!

If you have any changes I should add or update to this sticky, please DM me. It'll be easier for me to notice and keep track of.

There tends to be a decent amount of threads that either asks if/when an anime is going to be dubbed, or where one can watch an already dubbed show.

We've added a rule and automod code to restrict topics where users ask any of the following:

  1. If any anime that currently doesn't have a dub announced will get one.
  2. Asking for the date/timeframe of when an announced dub will be released.
  3. Asking where a show that's already dubbed can be watched.

You are only allowed to ask such questions in this topic. If the show is dubbed or going to be dubbed people can answer with info of when and where and by which company and such.

Titles currently picked up by Amazon

As some people may know, Amazon has a reputation for picking up shows and not dubbing them, when almost any other company would at least consider it. They also don't do physical releases. That said, they haven't picked up a new anime series since 2020, and as of August 2021, are willing to actually release a new dub, starting with a redub of the first 3 Rebuild of Evangelion movies in addition to having the first dub(s) of Evangelion 3.0+1.0.

Here's the list of titles currently picked up by Amazon:

  • Altair: A Record of Battles
  • Banana Fish
  • Beatless
  • Boarding School Juliet
  • Chi's Sweet Adventure CG
  • Dropkick on My Devil! (Season 1 only)
  • Grand Blue Dreaming
  • Happy Sugar Life
  • Inuyashiki
  • Kemurikusa
  • Lights of the Clione
  • Psycho Pass Season 3
  • Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul
  • Rebuild of Evangelion series (getting a redub with most of the original cast)
  • Re:CREATORS
  • ViVid Strike!
  • Welcome to the Ballroom (PonyCan?)
  • Wotakoi: Love is Hard for an Otaku

FAQs

1.) What is the status of simuldubs, dubcasts, and other weekly dub releases due to Corona/COVID-19?

2.) When will the next set of One Piece episodes come out?

  • Each new batch of episodes tends to be released on places like Microsoft store at least a few weeks before getting on Funimation's streaming service.
  • The latest batch: Episodes 759-770 is streaming on Funimation.
  • Next Batch: TBA

3.) ___ Movie dub?

  • Movies in general are harder to license and release than TV shows. If movie dubs do get announced, don't expect them for quite a while. Especially for physical releases.

4.) Why do shows like Irregular at Magic High School get their second seasons dubbed before their first? How long will it take for their first season to be dubbed?

  • It's hard to give an exact reason, but Aniplex must not have felt it was popular enough to dub and get a return on profit for the dubbing the show. Perhaps them dubbing the second seasons is through the Sony merge and they have more funds to experiment on shows with sequels. As for when it might be dubbed, it'll likely depend on how well the dub does. Free Season 2 got its dub before Season 1 and both seemed to have done well.

S1 of Irregular is streaming on Hulu (Dubbed)

Should I wait on I'm Quiting Heroing and Summertime Rendering? Or is it likely they won't be dubbed this year?

u/Ero-samadesu Jun 23 '22

Does anyone know where to watch the sao progressive movie? I've been looking for it on websites ever since it came out but for some reason none of them have it

2

u/jamiex304 Jun 23 '22

It is not available to legally stream as of yet, there is no date as to when it may be added.

u/Ero-samadesu Jun 23 '22

Ah okay thanks!

u/Sturdevant Jun 23 '22

Will leave this here since it doesn't warrant a thread - not really 'a when it be dubbed' bc I don't think its happening, but I'm disappointed that it appears Tenchi Muyo! has passed Western distributors by. Ryo-Ohki 4 and 5 have been out for years and its literally been crickets in regards to dubbing. With Funimation, the holder of the dubbed Tenchi content, taking over Crunchyroll, a small spark of hope has ignited in me, but I know chances are slim. Shit, I'll take a Prince of Tennis style re-dub for the entire series for VA consistency if no one can return at this point.

u/TormentedThoughtsToo Jun 22 '22

Going to ask here even though it’s physical media related:

So did Radiant flop so hard that Funimation just cancelled the Season 2, Part 2 release? S2, Part 1 came out in September 2020.

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '22

Why do some shows come out 2 episodes at a time? Is that only when an episode is missed the last week?

1

u/jamiex304 Jun 22 '22

Why do some shows come out 2 episodes at a time?

If an episode is say delayed due to a cast member being sick, the cast and crew can still go ahead and dub all the other lines for a given episode and continue on etc meaning when that say sick member is recovered they just need to do there lines which will sometimes mean double episodes, no always but sometimes. Other reasons include the cast and crew simply having two episodes fully completed etc.

Is that only when an episode is missed the last week?

No, it can happen for other reasons such as simply having two episodes done in a single week etc and they have been given the go ahead to release etc.

Unknown to either highly unlikely to ever happen for PriMagi, Yuuyame maybe in a years time as a home release but thats just a complete guess. Its Sentai there in one word 'useless' and they have shown they have no desire to increase there dubbing capacity or output and would rather just focus on licensing.

Expect only about 1 new dubbed show if we are lucky from them this Summer as there other 2 slots will likely go to Danmachi and Made in Abyss.

u/betbolt Jun 21 '22

Is there any chance that Quanzhi Fashi / Full-Time Magister gets an English DUB?

2

u/jamiex304 Jun 21 '22

Nope at present 0% and it will next to never even get picked up legally to begin with.

No one owns the rights / no one has ever bother to get the rights to any of its past seasons even if by a chance someone does pick it up for legally streaming given its a Donghua it stands no chance of getting a dub and there is a lot of Donghua's out there that would have a much higher chance and priority.

u/GoldenTimeWatcher Jun 20 '22

Anyone know when crunchy will announce their licenses for summer?

u/jamiex304 Jun 21 '22 edited Jun 21 '22

  • FUUTO PI

  • Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World

  • Musashino!

  • ORIENT Part 2

They will also stream these two animes since they have been lincesed by Aniplex of America:

  • Engage Kiss

  • Lycoris Recoil

u/GoldenTimeWatcher Jun 21 '22

Thank you, didn’t realize they already announced they have CotE and Rent a Girlfriend. So I guess I only need to be worried about Devil is a Part Timer and Overlord getting snatched by someone else

Is buying the Blu-ray and DVD’s, or digital copies the only way to watch Naruto Shippuden dub?

1

u/jamiex304 Jun 20 '22

Depends on your location, if your in the States / Canada yes unless you have a VPN. If your in the likes of the U.K / Ireland or from the land down under the full series is available on Funimation.

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '22

My brother told me he was watching shippuden on a streaming service in the US. I can’t remember if it was hulu or something else though.

1

u/ErzaSilas Jun 20 '22

I wouldn’t even know where to start with VPN haha. Isn’t that only for PC anyway? Or can you do it on console, and mobile as well? Well darn. It’s way too expensive also.

u/Xevran01 Jun 20 '22

Is there anywhere I can legally watch Infinite Stratos 2 through a streaming service

1

u/jamiex304 Jun 20 '22

Nope, Sentai lost the rights / couldnt have been bothered to renew them and no one else has picked them up.

u/Xevran01 Jun 21 '22

I did more looking around and I found it on Hulu!
