So, they the distributor and person helping lead the dub. Now, let's hope we get the the broadcasters and dubbing cast soon.

My best bet for a U.S. English network would probably be Netflix or AMC.

I checked out a couple of episodes, and I have to say, such ugly CGI from the normally beautiful Ghibli.
Anyway, I'm surprised this hasn't been broadcast in English already. You know, like a simuldub or something. Does the Ghibli name not have any clout anymore? |

Still the best looking CGI-Anime I've seen so far. For me Ronia is the best example how it's possible to make use of the advantages of CGI (lower costs and better animation/fluid movements) without making it look too sterile (for example how they used hand-drawn backgrounds). |

Really, you've never seen Steamboy, the CG is so good half the time you don't even know it is there. Ghibli themselves have had better CG in Princess Mononoke. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- If they do put in on UK TV, I hope they just produce a dub and do it, not wait around forever saying "We are currently waiting on GKIDS for the dub" or something like that. {Combined serial posts. ~nobahn} |

I personally think the CG in this show is probably some of the worst I've seen.
Anyway, I've never heard of Serious Lunch before. Is it a relatively new company or is anime not their main priority? |

What? Ghibli did a TV series? I though they have a rule against doing TV series.

This was a really good anime and will be worth it to see it dubbed But as for a network willing to play it maybe Disney x d

This show was made in collaboration with Polygon Pictures, the same studio that adapts Sidonia no Kishi. And I thought the CG was fairly good. |

Well this isn't 100% A Studio Ghibli work, it's a cooperative work produced with Polygon Pictures. And Ghibli is pretty much at a crossroads now and they have to decide where they want to take their studio, if they want to close up all together or pursue smaller more affordable projects. I feel like was something to test those waters with. |

This ain't the 80s, where you could air random occasional animated kid-friendly programming which didn't have an ulterior motive to sell a bunch of tie-in junk, like when Nick brought over Mysterious Cities of Gold. So, unless they got some related toys they can sell, it's probably not gonna happen.

i loved this show.
 a nice heartfelt story of family, friendship, and life. Ronja and Birk are so great together too! love those kids!
i thought the Ghibli designs and CG worked pretty well together. |

Yeah, hopefully they get this on and we eventually get an English blu-ray later too. |

I saw the first episode (which was two combined) on TV in Japan...and then the broadcaster dropped it...and I found myself not really minding. The CG was an issue (unlike an off-model cut in a hand-drawn show, a weird CG movement can yank me right out of the story), but I also remember thinking there were some story problems too. I think they might have an uphill battle on this one.
