Huh. Wonder if Gushing over Magical Girls will get a dub. Felt more popular than Chained Soldier, so it's weird Chained Soldier is getting it first. Or maybe Chained Soldier had more viewers than MahoAko despite everything or there are some other issues

Considering the show, it may just be a fake name. I have an idea who it could be but no sense saying anything when it comes out in 4 days.

According to MAL Chained Soldier is more popular. I suspect Gushing will not be dubbed because Sentai doesn't usually dub heavy fanservice shows.

Sentai did dub Peter Grill, Vermeil in Gold and all the To Love Ru they had, so their track record of dubbing fanservicey shows isn't half bad, really. It's more like the titles that are popular on streaming get the dubs, whether they're fanservicey or not.

I haven't heard a lot of good things about Gabriel Regojo but I'm interested in giving this cast a chance.

Surprised they're giving Kyouka to a fresh VA.

I don’t think he’s a bad actor at all, but his voice doesn’t always fit his characters. I thought he was great as the main character in Call of the Night. I think that’s one thing Sentai messes up a lot. Their dubs have good direction and more natural sounding performances but a lot of miscasts. My issue with Crunchyroll dubs is the performances can be pretty poor because of the rush of simuldubs.

but he is right. anime companies have a tendency if not dubbing heavily ecchi like / borderline hentai anime. it was why funimation canceled the interspecies reviewers eng dub after all.

sure, peter grill, seven heavenly virtues, vermeil in gold, and to love ru are ecchi series and got a dub by sentai, there acceptable by their fanservice standards for they are not borderline psuedo hentai unlike gushing over magic girls!

and its not the first time either. remember REDO OF HEALER!? while hi dive streamed the series, they never gave it a dub for it was more or less a borderline psuedo hentai aka have some hentai elements, but not enough to label it as one which is similar to what people called yotsuga no sora years ago for it was an anime series that appeared to be hentai but its not!

so yea. the chances of gushing getting an eng dub is all but zero if you ask me.

that series will more or less be joining the other list of borderline hentai like series (interspecies reviewers, worlds end harem, harem in the labyrnth of another world & redo of healer) that will NEVER, EVER get an english dub!

Never say never. IR, FTR, is way beyond borderline towards the end of the series, hence why not even Media Blasters may dub it. And Gushing Over Magical Girls' level of fanservice doesn't even come close to that of To Love Ru, Peter Grill or Seven Heavenly Virtues. The only one of those you listed I'm certain will never get dubbed other than IR is Redo of Healer, mostly for its extremely violent content.

actually, media blasters dont even do english dubs anymore so they kinda dont count, their basically on their last legs and is only holding on by a thread be cause thankfully, the owner knows all to well that if MB goes, it will mean the end of getting any hentai series legally in the US

also while its true that you are right about never saying never, considering that shinmai mao no testament and valkyrie drive got dubbed by funi & the fact that they canceled IR says a lot! so yea, you can put a fork in those series that i mentioned! they will never get a dub.

especially redo and IR!

also its a known trend that jp companies that releases previous ecchi series do not last long, so that might have a factor in US companies not wanting to use resources and money into do one as well in the event said company goes out of business in the future!
