Whoa...

Didn't expect this. I enjoyed this show so curious to see how it goes. This and the recent DRRR dubs news recently has my interest.

Knew that NIS America was dubbing something, and today, Siren Visual saying that they are working with NISA on this and that it would be different from their usual made me think that this was the one.

I'll have to save up $150 on rightstuf, but it will be worth every penny. Cannot wait to hear just who is cast as who.

This is really exciting. Their Toradora! dub must have done well.

I have yet to watch this series, but I've wanted to since it aired. I'm so glad the complete series will be in one box set. No one-cour-per-release nonsense.

Realizing that Ray sung the openings and Nagi Yanagi sung the endings is stirring up Waiting in the Summer vibes.

I'm getting this. The box set itself looks gorgeous, and I'm so glad they're finally including a soundtrack in something. I love NIS.

Wow! What great news for the fans. $150 for a 26 episode dubbed premium release fits within my budget much more than some recent releases.

I just checked and didn't see it on Rightstuf. Is it up for pre-order yet?

I love this show, my favorite anime of the past few years...but this dub is HORRID. At least based on that girls voice...I'm assuming it's Manaka due to the mistake in assuming she's the main character.

She sounds like she's trying waaaaay too hard. I really don't know how anyone can defend that and say it's "good". Well, other than that being what you are use to. Japanese cast was bloody fantastic n this, especially Mikako Komatsu.

Also, 3 of 3 now, video didn't work because of the "no-cookies" thing...Guess no one else is having this issue Neutral

edit: price is fantastic for all the stuff you get

This is pretty awesome. I liked most of the show, not so crazy about some of the stuff at the end but still a nice series and I will support this because I want to see NISA make more dubs and offer this kind of product at what I think is a reasonable price (unlike others whose names are not to be spoken).

easy, your not listening to any dialogue in the show, your listening to a promo trailer. gave us almost absolutely nothing to go on except for what one individual character will potentially sound like. so there's no way to actually say whether or not the dub is good or bad, because we haven't heard it.

Sounds like Michelle Ruff so I imagine it will be a Bang Zoom dub which is good because in my opinion they are usually the best. Although it does sound kind of questionable. I imagine it will be good in the actual show.

While I did like this show, I probably won't be buying it. But I'm glad it's getting a dub it deserves one.

getchman, I get what you're saying but almost every "dub trailer" has been an accurate representation of the show they were advertising. Madoka's awful trailer for example was spot-on with how bad the dub was. I'm also assuming this is one of the main characters so her sounding forced and like she's acting in a high school play is not a good sign. And it's not like I'm yelling, I don't need a "chill pill". People are allowed to be wary when all signs point to "bad".

It's my favorite anime of the last few years, I'm gonna be passionate about it's release in my country.

edit: and despite how bad it may end up, I'm still glad they're doing it for those people who only watch dubs for whatever their reasons are. Especially with a release so soon. I still hate the hard sub format NIS does but I understand that as well. I really just want this for the bonus items though

I'm ecstatic that this show is finally getting an English version; I've been looking forward to watching A Lull in the Sea for ages. Smile

Been waiting for this since it was announced they had the license! Very excited, the set looks beautiful.

You're not the only with the no-cookies issue.

I have been wondering what had happened to the release but my questions have been answered. Annoyingly it is released shortly after I travel back from the states meaning I'll have to pay some god awful import duties rather then hiding it in my suitcase Laughing

This is one show I am extremely excited to rewatch, it has been my favorite show of the past couple of years due to the character development and emotion it oozes - it's more than earned its place in my collection which is why I'm gals NIS picked it up.
