NEWS: MB VoiceWorks Dubbing Production Company Closes

I think people are just reading the headline and not the article itself. If you actually bothered to click the link you'd see Media Blasters confirmed and states exactly "MB Voiceworks closing will NOT effect our dub production" so this will not effect them dubbing things in the future and will continue with the Scheduled Juden Chan and Rio dubs. Which is great news considering their recent bluray release of Ladies vs Butlers not only looked absolutely fantastic but had one of the BEST dubs I have ever heard and its amazing when you consider most of the voice cast for that show aren't very well known VA.

Keep up the great work Media Blasters cant wait to see how great the Juden Chan and Rio dubs come out to be

@DuchessBianca

Your enthusiasm for English dubs is commendable. But having the misfortune of listening the awful dub for the also awful Holy Knight anime, I have to side with DmonHiro.

Still surpised that Media Blasters didn't quit with anime yet. In the past they did deliver amazing dubs like Squid Girl, Twelve Kingdoms and more. But last few years.... Their DVD releases, at least the print on order, are garbage. Instead of actually playing the normal way on my DVD player it went in some weird blue menu. Only through my Computer im able to play it. Another thing is, with Ladies versus butlers i got two disc2's despite disc3 having the disc3 cover..... I dont know if thise problems are with the blu-rays as well. Just be carefull to buy DVD's from them. Kanokon and ladies versus butlers were like that.....

I have not listened to the dub of Ladies vs Butlers; I made my judgment based on the dub for Holy Knight. I assumed that the people who dubbed HN will be unable to do a good dub for another show, but apparently I was wrong.

And unless things have changed, Holy Knight should be available with the English dub on Crunchyroll.

Fortunately, it's only this small sub-company that's shutting down and not Media Blasters themselves. Although, I have to say that it's amazing that Media Blasters is still present despite the multiple setbacks that put them in a vulnerable spot some years earlier.

I'd barely even call them "present" at this point. I mean, their current sale on RightStuf is one of the saddest things I've ever seen: it consists of the few new licenses they've managed to trickle out over the past few years, the dregs of the decent titles they've long since lost the licenses to, and page after page of live-action B-movies. (Oh, and porn, don't forget about all the porn!) Hell, even the few older licenses they've retained aren't immune to the cheapskate DVD-R release method; I picked up a set of Ramen Fighter Miki a few months back that was clearly in that format.
