Blue Water appears to be still be around. Doing test dubs for World Trigger, and they seem to be the ones that handled the Kingdom dub for FUNimation.

English dubs for Media Blasters & Kitty Media are recorded in New Jersey.

There seems to be a little bit of an interest with Japanese publishers for UK dubs in some games, they dubbed Dragon Quest(for unknown reasons) and the Souls and Bloodborne games (probably as they fitted it better than American accents).

Yes, I remember when Coastal Carolina was "THE" dub company literally showing the other companies how to dub a show in the spirit of the original--If you heard Coastal was doing a dub in the 90's, it was like hearing ADV had done the dub in the 00's.
Speaking of which, think ADV's dubbing studio was the "Texas" part--The former A.D. Vision was a Texas-based company, so it was isolated from most of the LA voice-actor community, and managed to build its own house brand. Basically, the whole thing came about from companies taking on something the afternoon-syndication companies wouldn't touch, except for the Ocean Group taking on the first DBZ episodes, way up in Hollywood North. |

Likely in the part of NJ that is New York City suburbs though, so calling them "New York" dubs is not entirely wrong. |

Revised the post to add a few new details on Media Blasters and Blue Water. Thanks for the corrections. Too many hard-to-research data points in this one!! (sweat, sweat)

I want something more to go on. People in the NJ suburbs very often say they're in NYC, and NJ is where MB is headquartered these days. |

I read that Ocean Group were working on a dub for Dragon Ball Z Kai with Richard Ian Cox as Goku.

A few games I played which were dubbed in UK also have better overall quality of voice acting (compared to average offerings from american side). |

With the Canadian dollar in the dumps, I'm surprised more work hasn't gone to Ocean/Blue Water. They've been mostly doing kids series as of late, but with Future Card Buddyfight they showed they could do a genuine (as in, it premiered within an hour of JP broadcast) simuldub.
They seemingly dubbed at least 98 episodes of it. |
