With Kakegurui in particular, Anime Limited has had the UK license since 2018 and their last update on that release almost a year ago had them specifically mention getting the Netflix dub as "complicated" and that's why it has taken so long on their end so there's reason for concern here with that dub. |

Happy they were able to get Made in Abyss S2 (although not gonna lie, I'm a bit nervous about the remaining stuff in the manga from what I've heard), and the Lupin announcement is a surprising grab. I'm sure Discotek would have done an amazing job with the series, but they have so much on their plate and I imagine TMS will still be pretty involved with the release, so I'm not too concerned. I personally thought Iroduku was boring as hell, but hey, at least its another Amazon title that's been rescued - only a few more to go now!
Kakegurui's dub might be spared from being re-dubbed considering it was left out of the big "here are all the new dubs coming out" video alongside Haikyuu S4, Food Wars, and other Sentai/Amazon shows, where as Drifting Dragons was included despite already having a Netflix dub. Or at least it has a better chance of being spared. On that note though, I've also seen a few industry people going "it will get a re-dub, but that's fine, I don't care because I never watched the dub," which just makes me roll my eyes. I didn't watch Kakegurui dubbed, but it being on Netflix I know a lot of people did and a lot of people really enjoyed it. And despite my own personal preferences, I think its a shame for them to lose out on that for a blu-ray release. In the same vein, I never really cared for the ADV Eva dub over the JPN cast, but you can bet I was really happy that it will at the very least be included on that GKIDS LE blu-ray. And at the same time, disappointed for fans that it will likely only be included in that collector's set. |

They got lucky with Made in Abyss, you would expect Funimation or Netflix to have snatched that up.

Good to see Turkey on the region availability list.

Out of that List I hope Funi will try and scoop up Rage of Bahamut S2 and Psycho Pass since they have the prequel series for both. Though after the disaster that was Psycho Pass 2, Funi might be hesitant to grab the rest. |

Ditto. That and Altair are the only ones left I'd be interested in physical release from the Amazon slate. |

I noticed that the release territories for Kakegurui includes Latin America, I wonder if Sentai can include Netflix's Neutral Spanish dub since it was pretty well done, The Seven Deadly Sins was the only series which its Neutral Spanish dub was released on home video from what I remember (it was done by Funimation). Sentai has done some Neutral Spanish dubs in the past few years, but their work hasn't been very good, they have been involved in the dubs for series like No Game No Life, Food Wars and Parasyte the Maxim, and even people who like dubs don't have a lot of nice things to say, they dubbed some of them in Córdoba, Argentina (and even as an Argentinean I didn't know they did dubs in that province) with some actors from Buenos Aires (where most Argentinean dubs are made) and Chile collaborating in them, and that resulted in a weird mixture of accents and acting quality.

I'm just glad that they have confirmed the acquisition of Girls und Panzer das Finale Part 2 and 3. Even got my pre-ordered copy of Das Finale Part 1 last week. I'll just have to wait for the release date for those.

Here's hoping they do dub the later seasons. Kinda surprised/happy that Sentai got Yuki Yuna, since, you know, PonyCan USA kinda stealth exited selling their anime overseas themselves a while back, and being more of a music/artist/band (and other things) destination on their socials now. At least some of their other titles are with Sentai, and that their releases for Yuki Yuna can be more affordable.
They had it exclusively streamed on Amazon, however, it's no longer available, hopefully they'll stream it on Hi-Dive/VRV someday.
They did, however, its available streamed on Amazon (Prime membership required to watch), and on Hi-Dive/VRV, sadly, it never got a home video release stateside, nor a dub that the first season had, it's sub only. |

Well, they tried to ape the Aniplex model with expensive premium releases ...without the kind of catalog Aniplex had. Yuki Yuna was their only title of weight... |

Yeah, copying Aniplex's model wasn't really the best idea for, at the time, a new company like PonyCan USA, despite, you know, releasing expensive volume sets in the mid 2010's when other companies have gone the seasonal or complete series sets that have been the standard over here, and at lower prices. I mean, yeah, Yuki Yuna, at the time, was their best title since it had dual audio and amazing animation. Though yeah, as of now, S1 can still be streamed on CR subbed only, and it also used to be on Netflix (with dual audio). And that out of the single volume sets, vol. 2 is OOP, as well as the complete season 1 Blu-Ray set, only vols. 1 and 3 remain as they are, or were (since Sentai picked it up), Right-Stuf exclusives. |

Isn't the bigger problem with Psycho Pass 3 also needing to get the Sinners of the System movies? |

Nice to see a new slate from Sentai. I'll be picking up Kakegurui and probably Iroduku. Nice to see Yuki Yuna rescued from Pony Canyon too.

FUNi has Bahamut S1 but Sentai has it's spinoff, Mysteria Friends, which they dubbed and gave a Limited Edition to.
And without Regular Edition options that Madoka Magica had and the LEs being horribly oversized, that's what doomed those releases. |
