The fact that Dragonball Super is not available ANYWHERE outside of Japan, via ANY streaming company, points to Toei being stingy in this case. I'm betting Funi will leap on that one as soon as Toei lets them.

Toei is probably shooting themselves in the foot, there.....if we can't watch it legally, then what other option do we have besides piracy?
If that's the case why would toei do something so stupid if you're supposed to say support the industry but yet can't let us see it legally and we have to go by different means that's being two-faced about it and that bothers me that you're losing potential butt loads of cash because you don't want anyone else but Japan to see it and that's not right in my book.

I'm 100% they're gonna cast Monica Rial as Hana from Prison School. I'm 100% sure.

I just noticed Funi didn't get Dragonball Super *facepalms*. I'm amazed at their skills of missing that hype train...it would've been a hit as a broadcast dub.


Obviously the trouble is not on their end, but on toei.

Of course they would want to get rights on their best seller.

It's amazing to me that a company has one of the most valuable anime properties outside of Japan and they simply squander it like this. There was a thread on Reddit a few days ago (and not in the anime part) with thousands of comments from excited DBZ fans and they have nowhere official to watch it. Does Toei hate money?

A technical thing to remember here is that these are their planned broadcast dubs at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if they did more.

Judging by what I've heard about Sky Wizards Academy, it would be a serious waste if they put that crap on DubbleTalk.

My guess is these are the 3 "primetime" shows. You know like the ones that they will be talking about and reviewing on Dubbletalk while they till have other Broadcast dubs to announce

I am aware that these are the prime time titles (I pointed this in my initial post). I expect Snow White and at least 3 more titles to have broadcast dubs down the road.

When I first read the header, I asked myself "Why Sky Wizards?" Never looked at its details before now so what is it about? Kanata Age, Master Swordsman is...

Stop, enough.

Katana? That's, uh, quite the anagram they got there. And it's a light novel adaptation with key image being one guy and a bunch of girls in the same over designed school uniform, each with a different weapon. Where haven't I seen this before?

Never mind the dub, why license it?

I'm surprised they didn't go for Overlord on their primetime block. RPG-esque anime seem to always be a hit whether they're good or not.

I am going to have to agree with you on that since they would probably cast veterans for it.

Also, I believe that Jamie Marchi will be Mari, Colleen Clinkenbeard will be Meiko, maybe Alexis Tipton as Chiyo, and either Kent Williams or Bill Jenkins as the Chairman (Mari and Chiyo's father).

Not sure who would voice the boys, but I bet if he hadn't retired, Scott Freeman would be perfect for, I think, Kiyoshi.

Just my honest opinions here.
