NEWS: Tales of Symphonia: United World Anime Gets New Volume

This needs to be licensed Blu-ray and Dubbed! I am tired of waiting Tales of Symphonia is the best Tales games and to best selling tales game in the US.. (I think it still holds that title) Also they need to Animate Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World (Knight of Ratatosk) And then make a Sequel to that game on the Nintendo Wii U...

Funimation said they'll only get this if Tales of Vesperia: First Strike sells well.

I think I was wrong anyway, they hadn't released it yet. I think I was thinking about the fansub. Nice to know I haven't missed the chance to make this a good release for them when they do put it out, because I really would like them to pick this up.

My issue with Sentai is that they will probably release sub-only since Bandai did this with Abyss, and Sentai has such boring releases. Can you tell me what you like about them? I think NISA and Nozomi are the only ones sub-only I'm remotely interested in. Sentai provides zero extras in most of what I've bought from them. I kind of buy hoping they'll dub if I really like something they have, or if they have a dub I'll buy from them since they do that for a decent portion of their series.

I can understand your perspective as their minimalist releases do tend to be inexpensive.

I agree the Higurashi thing was annoying because I also loved that show. But most of Sentai's dubs are a little rough even if they are still acceptable. They have been making some weird casting decisions lately, such as on ef ~ a tale of memories. I don't mind Greg Ayres, but he doesn't fit in the role they put him in. He fit well where Funimation put him in Heaven's Lost Property, and they seem to make good or great casting decisions generally.

In any case for all the faults Funimation may have if it's going to be dubbed I trust them to do it more than anyone else.
