Should have been more specific. Would have been a good FUNI dub. BangZoom dubs are meh to me.

Funimation and crunchyroll have made a point to keep working together on newer seasons of shows they already worked on together I dont see this being any different and fully expect a funimation simuldub. (I will be shocked if there isnt one)

I look forward to the Orphen dub. David Matranga I assume will return. Hopefully Shelley Calene-Black as well.

Wasn't sure how much Houston -> Forth Worth travel they do for Funimation dubs, but I guess Matranga has been in Funimation stuff like Attack on Titan and My Hero Academia. Calene-Black has been in a few Funi dubs, but mainly titles like Sekirei and Master of Martial Hearts -- which were done during a time of dub work scarcity in Houston, before Sentai recovered its footing.
Either way, it'd be great if they returned, but Orphen in English sadly won't be the same without the highly liberal script-writing of Steven Foster and Kathleen Moynihan. Even if Foster hadn't left the anime scene, it's unlikely that licensors insisting on spellings like "Claiomh" would allow that kind of fast-and-loose adaptation these days.

Jason Douglas BETTER play that goddamn dwarf though! He was arguably the best part!

Then prepare to be shocked because IIRC there werent any this season. The only shows they shared to my knowledge were the Aniplex ones. The deal ran out about a season or two ago.

He played Childman in the original. Volkan, the dwarf, was voiced by John Swasey.

Katakana is phonetic. Her name's written as クリーオウ which is Ku Rii O U. Kinda weird to have a U sound there IMO. クリーオ is how you write the regular name "Cleo" so this would be Cleou? Cleooo? If the 'a' is supposed to make it pronounced Clay-oh it'd be written differently to reflect that. I mean, you can always fudge katakana spelling by saying the letters are silent, in this case the 'a' the 'i' the 'm' and the 'h'. Wouldn't be the first time we've seen arbitrary silent letters in anime names. Plus the series has a lot of weird anglo-westernized names like Childman Powerfield so it could just be a writer quirk.
