Hopefully now that streaming is more ubiquitous the sub won't be too after the JP home release, there's no chance of a cinema release here. If Funimation have lost the dub rights it's almost guaranteed there'll be a new cast and 1,2, and 3 will have to be redubbed too.

A Silent Voice is great it's one of my favourite films.

I'd say they'd have no issue using the Funimation cast, none of their voice actors are employees of Funimation, they are all independent contractors.

If it is getting recast expect it to be done by NYAV as both Gkids and Anime Limited normally commission them for dubs such as Mai Mai Miracle, Your Name, Weathering With You, Promare and A Silent Voice.

It's more to do with who owns the rights to the dub script and audio. It's possible Funimation still retain those and if the new rights holders plan to release more blu rays or make it available on streaming it'll probably be cheaper to redo it.

They don't. Under modern licencing agreements the dub only remains the property of the licencee until the costs for the dub are recouped. After the costs have been recouped the dub becomes the property of the production committee.

The only time recently I've seen where a new series has been redubbed is Baki The Grappler. Netflix are looking for mad money to use the dub and they still retain the rights as they haven't recovered the costs yet.

When did that start? Rebuild 1 came out a decade ago.

It's been that way for pretty much the entire dvd era.

It's only really mid nineties dubs and earlier that remain the property of the licencee. There are a few outliers though, of which iinm the Evangelion series is one.

All 3 rebuild movies are under the modern licencing agreements.

Not yet.
I need a break from all the shouting, god they are loud!

Hi Score Girl on Netflix.
It's fantastic. Anyone who played videogames in the 90s should check it out.

I also finished the Pacific rim anime. It was surprisingly good

EoE might clear up a few things or it might make you more confused.

Don't read this until you've watched it

how awesome was Asuka's last stand

Yep, just watched it.
As annoying as she can be, she's pretty badass.

Shinji just needs a good ride.

I read today an "explanation" for the overall plot, which helped to "understand" it. It could have been done in a more straightforward manner alright, but that would beat the purpose...

I see I wasn't the only one totally confused after watching the last two episodes.

I think everyone was. I watched it on TV in 2002/2003 with no idea there was a movie to cap it off, I was very confused and annoyed.

Relevant funny image I saw the other day. The first two or so times I saw this scene what Shinji was doing went right over my head.

silverharp · 23-03-2021 3:04pm

Junior decided I needed to watch the Titans one with him so we saw the first 7 episodes last night, its actually good.

Evade · 23-03-2021 5:27pm

I found that bit with Folgen in this weeks Slime hilarious for some reason.

Same as, that while scene was gas! Slime is solidly delivering every week!

TTLF · 24-03-2021 5:54pm

For some reason I went into "Tomozaki-kun bottom tier character" 's anime thinking it would be quite cringe in terms of weird "gamer" references after watching the atrocity that was "GAMERS!" back in 2018, but I have to say, I'm actually enjoying it a lot more than Horimiya and I've read Horimiya's manga! :pac:

Anime has many surprises.

Jobless Reincarnation is top tier atm tho.

Evade · 24-03-2021 7:06pm

Emilia pulling a Raphtalia this week.

Potential-Monke · 26-03-2021 11:35pm

I think now that the cour is finished, I'll have to go back and rewatch Re:Zero in a binge, I'm kinda lost as to what I should and shouldn't know about what happened/is happening!

When Beatrice said to Roswaal "Are you... Roswaal?" I was, and still am, completely confused.

She is asking if he is the same Roswaal from when Echidna was alive.

I'll probably put Re:Zero in my list of things I watch before falling asleep and end up rewatching it a few times.

I didn't notice until i read it somewhere else that

Subaru doesn't die at all in season two part two.

Something I always wondered why they left out of the anime, so far at least, is (small manga spoiler for something that took place in season one)

Al, Priscilla's knight, is from Japan too. In the anime he noticeably reacts when Subaru says that Anastasia speaks like someone from Kansai but don't do anything else with it.

CastorTroy · 27-03-2021 10:49pm

With the talk of it, I'm rewatching Evangelion for the first time since seeing it on one of the UK channels all those years ago.
On episode 4 now

Man I swear I literally just finished it today.
I am shook.

Why didn't I watch this so long ago, this felt like true writing,

CastorTroy · 28-03-2021 8:04pm

It's strange how we remember things. Like I was sure Asuka was in it from the beginning or at least the first couple episodes.

I think it has to do with knowing she's a main character and typically in western shows that would mean she's there from episode one. I like how some anime introduce the characters over the course of a few episodes.

Evade · 01-04-2021 11:58pm

I watched the first episode of Joran the Princess of Snow and Blood, it was pretty good. I like the art style, it almost looks like something really high budget from the 80s or 90s at times, and the story seems like it could be interesting.

No more Non Non Byori and Yuru Camp is gone until the movie in 2022. I hope there's another relaxing slice of life this season.

Barna77 · 06-04-2021 12:27pm

Going down memory lane again, I'm watching Dragon Ball Super. So happy it brings back the old silly humour.

Also, Dragon Quest. The Adventure of Dai (remake). Ah I loved the 1991 series. I'm pretty sure I had the manga too.

On my waiting list, Rurouni Kenshin. I never finished the series when it was on back in the 90s

Lord, I'm feeling old

Potential-Monke · 06-04-2021 7:55pm

So the season finale of World Trigger was a bit of a let down. Nothing really happened.

Evade · 06-04-2021 10:04pm

My easy slice of life is sorted with Let's Make a Cup Too - girls in a pottery club.

There's two sports anime that had good first episodes, Farewell my Dear Cramer - girls playing soccer and Burning Kabaddi - boys playing kabaddi (which I found out wasn't something made up in Chio's School Road).

Those Snow White Notes had a good first episode too.

Slime was good I hope it keeps focus on the side characters.

Shaping up to be pretty good this season.

Shaman King is in Netflix limbo, I hope they're not going to keep it there until all 50 episodes are out.

Yeah I spotted Lets Make on Crunchy yesterday and gave it a whirl, seems fun enough.

Cant take kabaddi seriously after Chio's either, it just looks like a ludicrous "sport".

Still looking forward to Iruma S2, ZombieLand S2, To Your Eternity, Nagatoro and there's probably some more coming soon I've forgotten.
