Sub only Crying or Very sad at least I don't know what the anime is about, so I don't care.

Why does NIS dub their games, but not their anime? I don't think I'd get this anime even if it was dubbed, but there's still AnoHana, and Bunny Drop...

Because there is still, sadly, the impression that games require a dub to be released in the US.

It's not am impression, it's a rule imposed by Sony on all disc releases.

And there are quite a few fans of NISA's dubs, by the way.

Mostly, but there are a few non-dubbed titles on PS3 with disc releases (Record of Agarest War 2, for example).

In any case, they still only partially dub their games. And typically a lot less of it is needed than for an anime. It's a bigger return on their investment, is what I'm saying.

OMG QUIT CRYING ABOUT LACK OF DUBS AND BE GRATEFUL YOU GET THE SHOW!!

Honestly its tiresome and boring. Subs vs Dubs is so stupid.

If there is a dub then watch the dub if not then watch it subbed. The Story of the Anime is what matters not what language its in.

NIS put more than enough into their sets to justify their price even without a dub.

Finally to more important things, This license seems alittle bit more standard from NIS. I like the fact NIS pick up the more strange stuff but the synopsis suggests this is a rather standard show. Am i wrong to presume this? I know nothing other than the synopsis i read.

Wish they got Hanasaku Iroha, Chihayafuru, and Idolmaster...

Seeing people whining about no dub in a show all about singing and stuff is silly. Do you really want to hear a bunch of untrained singers trying to sing Jpop songs?

Isn't the standard to leave songs untranslated these days anyway, as dubbed songs are usually...awful.

Hey, it worked for Nerima Daikon Brothers. The end result even turned out really good. Laughing

But yeah, this is one of those shows that doesn't really need a dub. As long as NISA focuses on quirky stuff like this and leaves the big-title action shows for other licensers, I've got no problem.

Now if they pick up Attack on Titan, I'm-a hurt someone. Evil or Very Mad

The few non-dubbed titles are special exceptions.

Nerima Daikon Brothers.

Now, that WAS the exception, I'll grant you that.

I will get this. Nice to hear NISA acquired. ^^

I agree this doesn't seem to fit the profile of a NISA acquisition. Mind you, neither did Brave 10. I was going to sample this one when it started on CR, but I've pledged to buy any PE that NISA puts out, so I may as well wait and watch it when I own it.

Hope the show doesn't suck.

Beck also had really good dubbed songs. So there is more then one exception.
