NEWS: Nozomi Ent. Launches Kickstarter for Aria the Animation English Dub

Now this is the sort of dub Kickstarter that makes far more sense than the Escaflowne boondoggle. I've been kind of curious about this show for a while, and this would be a fun way to spring for it. Lord knows I've sent enough money RightStuf's way over the years.

As for not understanding the line of thought of not wanting to watch subs, it's not rocket science. What's so hard to understand about people wanting to listen to a product in their native tongue when possible?

When people flat-out say they won't watch a show if there's no dub. The show this thread is dedicated to is from 2005.

We're not having the billionth insipid discussion about acting here; this show has existed for 12 years and apparently, a small group of people have decided for themselves they never need to see it if it's not in their native language. What in the what.

having no dub does put a show on a lower priority list than those that do. And with broadcast dubs, the shows with no dub actually get pushed lower on that list as new show come into view.

It really comes down to convenience at that point and dubs are more convenient than subs for the many English speaking anime fans.

His and Her Circumstances is a definite winner in terms of the dub; Veronica Taylor turning in arguably her finest performance ever as the female lead.

The entire series or just the first season? Neither this article nor the Kickstarter actually mention an episode count.

For $100k, I'd assume it would just be the first season, but I don't know how low non-union NYC actors will go.

Awesome.

Yeah, the kickstarter mentioned the box would have space for future seasons so that probably implies first season.

I honestly don't know. If Nozomi stated that they would contract it out to Funimation or Sentai then I'd get a good idea what it could sound like but this could be anything.

I'm definitely going to back this. My question is though what is the difference between the $55 & $60 tiers? In the description on the right they're identical but on the chart on the left it says the $55 doesn't get the BluRay set. So what's the actual difference between them?

Thank you (in advance^^) for your support!

$55 and $60 are the same reward -- $55 is the early-bird pricing.

I just checked the chart, and indeed it needs to be corrected!!! The $55 tier gets the Blu-ray set (and the $95 tier too). You are the first person to catch this error! We'll get it fixed ASAP.

I will be donating because Im a full fledged DubLover ...and there are sooooo many highly rated OOP titles that don't have a dub ..not to mention blu-ray as well..
And its great that Nazomi / rightstuf is trying to rectify this as best they can .
You Go Nazomi !!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVED your " Irresponsible Captain Tylor" project ...
great job!

I also noticed this line: "Directed by Junichi Sato, who also directed Sailor Moon, Princess Tutu, Magic User's Club, Kaleido Star, Tamayura, amongst others, and has also been involved with almost 100 programs in various capacities, including series composition, storyboard, theme music, supervision, and scriptwriter."

What did he ever do for theme music ever? All I can find is some lyrics for Gate Keepers. Is that all?
