This is awesome news. Great to see Sentai pick up something big and Gintama finally make its way over. I'm surprised though since I always figured it would be picked up by Viz.

I don't think that it is that they cannot afford to dub some of those 12 episode shows. IMHO is that some of those shows are niche at best (Blue Drop and He is my Master as an example) and having them just be sub only would obviously be cheaper for them and they wouldn't lose as much money as if they didn't sell well, then if they dub it as well and still didn't sell well. |

Asatte no Houkou sounds like it has a really interesting premise... What's the general consensus? Does it deliver?

I want to see proof that they CAN'T dub something. It wouldn't surprise me if they can but wanted to wait until they had a truly big title they feel confident will make money.

I'm surprised by Gintama, and I wanted to watch Asatte no Houkou for a long time, so now I can do it on my TV. Hurray!

I'm so disappointed, i was hoping funimation would grab Gintama and dub it. don't see much reason to buy the dvd's without a dub.

Asatte no Houkou was something I never thought I'd see licensed. Nice surprise.
And I'll finally have a chance to pickup Cosette. |

HELL YEAH X 365! Also, somewhat shocked at Gintama. That one seemed unlikely, but since it'll be subbed only, it makes sense. I just hope that ADV/Sentai can do the wonders with subtitles like they've done with previous projects, like PPD.
Also, all these people bitching about dubs for Gintama: it's highly unlikely that this show would go on TV. Seriously. And then there's the aspect of it being incredibly grossed in pop culture. A joke dub like Shin-chan would probably just piss more people off. Last edited by walw6pK4Alo on Thu Jan 21, 2010 1:40 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I'll most likely buy Gintama if Section 23 has something similar to the ADV Vid notes for Excel, Pani Poni, etc.

Yay for Gintama, I am very happy to see it get licensed. I guess I am a little upset that dubs are unlikely, however, I am more excited that I will have a DVD's of the show.
I always wonder if something could get licensed if Crunchyroll already had it. So I guess it can, I just wonder how all that stuff works. Oh, and with the news of Le Portrait de Petite Cossette coming from Geneon. I am begining to wonder now if Sentai will be in charge of my future releases of Shakugan no Shana and Higurashi. Although I dont know much about how licensing works either (in terms of who is more likely to get what). |

Woah. The Gintama announcement is exciting, but I am much more excited by the announcement for Asatte no Houkou! It's a nice little series, and like others, I never expected it to get licensed (especially since it's been a while since it's release in Japan).

Yeah...seems kinda pointless too since the core fanbase have probably already seen these episodes via crunchyroll or some other outlet and they're spending xxx amount to buy a bare bones release, it would have been interesting to see how they would have handled it dub given their track record with comedies. Oh well |

I do agree that they are releasing alot of niche shows however I would say that they could have dubbed something like He is My Master and it would have probably been better depending on how they did it. I mean think about this is the former ADV they dubbed Azumanga, Pani Poni Dash and Excel Saga all to GREAT effect. He is My Master is similar in that it's a crazy over the top comedy and I don't really think that show in particular is as niche as you may think it is. That said I don't think Gintama is niche at all. It's a show that ALOT of people were asking for for quite a long time. Out of all the shows they have released thus far Gintama is the one that NEEDS a dub the most. |

Gintama is one I've been meaning to watch on Crunchyroll, but never got around to it...sounds like motivation!
