Sailor Moon, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan. And HxH certainly has a large enough fanbase to support it.

That's it? Sailor Moon hardly counts, since it's in an iconic class like InuYasha or Bleach or Naruto. They haven't released any of Crystal yet, as far as I can tell. I'll give you Nura, but it barely counts because it's essentially 2 series, which allowed them to hedge their bets. If Rise hadn't done well enough for them, they could've scrapped Demon Capital with little outcry.
I truly do hope they release the whole thing, because I want to buy it, but they've burned me too many times before for 2 measly series (each less than half the length of HxH) to restore my faith just yet. It's not like they finished it the last time they had a chance.

Kurapika sounded great, Gon and Killua seem well-casted. Keith Silverstein as Hisoka sounds almost too perfect. I'm imagining a slightly more eccentric, equally confident version of his portrayal of Johan Liebert. I'm used to hearing Matthew Mercer as Kiritsugu, but from the other roles I've heard him in, he's a great candidate for Leorio.

Crispen Freeman for Chrolo would be perfect

So, like every other distributor right? Because they've all done that before. And you wanted examples and then said they don't count even though Hunter x Hunter will certainly do better than Nura.

Matthew and Keith seem fine, looking their history. Not to fond of the other 2, they done some pretty poor performances, most notably the dub for Kill La Kill.
I hope there are some veteran VAs for the other important roles. Don't want this ending up like the last dub of Hunter X Hunter.

So have they not even started dubbing the English episodes yet?
Its been forever since they announced that they were going to release Hunter x Hunter on DVD so i thought they had been working on this during all that time.
I really want to own Hunter x Hunter on DVD so i hope it wont take much longer until they announce the release date for them.

I definitely predicted Mendez as Gon. I'm kind of disappointed that Steve Blum isn't voicing Hisoka. Well, let's see what Keith Silverstein can do. I honestly imagined him as Shiapouf.
Still, first we get an announcement that the manga is going out of hiatus, and now we have an announcement on the dub. 'Tis a good week to be a "Hunter x Hunter" fan.

Are people still saying this? |
Never forgive. Never forget. RIP Monster.

The 90s anime of Sailor Moon totals more than 200 episodes, and they've already released about 90 episodes of that. Try again.

FUNimation hardly has a better record. Toriko. Sgt. Frog. Shin-chan. D. Gray-man. Kodocha. xxxholic.

Sailor Moon is just as big in the west as Naruto and Bleach, so ti doesn't work as an example.
