During the pre merger like in 2020-2021, Funimation start go back and dub lots lesser known anime that didn't get a simuldub for their streaming and their Home media release like Dropout Idol Fruit Tart, Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Show By Rock!! Stars!! etc. they also use lots of outsource studios other than just Sound Cadence Studios or Okratron 5000 like NYAV POST, Studio Nano and New Generation Pictures.
When CR merger began from what i know, they also start their backlog dubs with Miss Kuroitsu, and then in following season they also began to dub more backlog anime in english either a simuldub or a full season dub like Fruit of Evolution, TSUKIMICHI Moonlit Fantasy, Love Live Superstar, Takt Op Destiny, Remake Our life, Don't Hurt Me, My Healer, Sing Yesterday For Me, The Great Jahy will not be defeated, GIVEN, Yuru Camp S1 (Laid Back Camp) and even giving Natsume Yuujincho english dub for the first time! with Crunchyroll dubbing many more shows in English, there's certainly hope that more popular shows will be dubbed soon.
But for now, maybe i'm wrong about CR future dubs and start losing hope because it seems that CR not doing more backlog dubs anymore. The last backlog english dubs in this year was Berserk Memorial Edition, Gundam Witch From Mercury S1, Pride of Orange (full season), Utawarerumono Mask of Truth and s3 of Natsume. no more new dubs from Bluray release and CR also stop dubbing sequels from Funimation previous licensed anime like Love Live Superstar S2, LOGH Die Neue These S4, Vampire Die In No time S2, MIX Meisei S2, and recently, some anime like Skip and Loafer, Magical Destroyer, My One hit Kill Sister, Yuri Is My Job, Fuuto P.I, Do it Yourself, Dance Dance Danseur, Campfire Cooking with My Absurb skills is getting a dub in other language except english.
I wonder whats happened and why did CR stop doing backlog dubs ? is it because some title weren't successful enough as they hoped ? i could come up with some conspiracy theory that the other outsource studios and the VA from other states including some of them from L.A refuse to work/cooperate with Crunchyroll after the mutiple controversy like low paid or anti union, i think thats why there were no more good backlog dubs especially an anime like Bocchi The Rock.
