This is so exciting to see Funimation grabbed it... I was totally expecting Viz Media to get it...
This so going to get Simudubbed. So excited.

Viz gets priority on all Shonen Jump titles, if they aren't producing this then that means they passed.

It would make more sense for Viz to have gotten this since they have the manga and occasionally have merchandise rights for their Shounen Jump titles.

Hm a company crying that they don't have one punch man gets this and hypes and advertises that this is one punch man without giving a ziltch of the japanese presentation of the trailers. And we can at least scratch out the .01 percent chance that a cast could be made of child actors since everyone seems to have given up on putting that type of effort since 2014.
Now lets see the translation typos and dub memes that come out of this

Expected, given how they snatch pretty much all BONES series, but still annoying. It sure would be nice to be able to watch my most anticipated shows legally

What disappoints me is that now, the chances of Bakugou being voiced by Bryce Papenbrook have been slimmed down. He might still voice him if he's willing to fly to Texas.

There's a few... logic flaws?... in the premise. "What if you're born one of the 20% quirkless?" Become a caped crusader? Like that Batman guy no one ever heard of?
Right from the start, I was thinking "Well, someone didn't see the Incredibles" because if everyone was super then no one would be super... but 20% without powers, that's completely different. Then I watched the trailer...
"If super is normal then anyone can become a hero." No, I'm done even before I've begun. "If the spirit is willing then anyone can become a hero." There, fixed it. Also, wasn't that Tiger and Bunny?
I didn't even like One Punch Man but at least that went the "unwilling" route.

I recommend you take a look at this site's reviews of the manga's first three volumes before you completely write off the show. They provide a much better idea of what this franchise is about than the trailer.

This trailer, and the Japanese version slightly misadvertise what the series is about. You shouldn't write it off based on that.

"One Piece," "Fairy Tail," and "Attack on Titan" are owned by Funimation, but those are on Crunchyroll too.
What annoys me is that MHA hasn't even aired yet and it already has an English license, but it takes "Hunter x Hunter 2011" four years to even get picked up by an English distributor, but months later, still have no information about the dub or when it'll get released. |
I listen to the English Shonen Jump podcast, and they literally talked about the HxH 2011 dub this week... although the bad news is that voice actors have still not been cast yet. |
Damn it Viz first Sailor Moon R's delay and now this news for HXH.

Would be cool. I'm thinking they'll go with Ian Sinclair though, just saying. Beyond that, I also predict Maxey Whitehead as Izuku, Clifford Chapin as Katsuki, Tia Ballard as Ochako, J. Michael Tatum as Tenya, and Micah Solusod as Shouto.
