Kodocha : English Dub 52 - 102

The Rest Of The Series "Kodocha" Deserves To Be English Dubbed.
Leaving The Rest Of The Series Undone Isn't Very Professional.
I Understand That Kodocha Wasn't Very Well Known To People And Didn't Sell Very Well, But Now That People Have Grown To Love it And Are Kept In Suspense For The English Dubbing To Be Completed,
I Think That If Funimation Were To English Dub The Rest Of It,
The Original Cast Of Kodocha Would Probably Be Willing To Come Back For Another Recording. The Fans Would Greatly Support It, And It Would Bring Great Success.
Everyone Is Very Curious Whether Or Not They'd Be Willing To Do So, Even Groups Have Been Made Trying To Get Understanding From Funimation.
If You Would Bring Back Episodes 52-102 Of Kodocha English Dubbed,
I Guarantee That The Fans Would Love It And So Would The Voice Actors.

FUNi is a business and for better or worse, that means they will at times drop shows that do not well.

Re: Kodocha : English Dub 52 - 102

Let's fight for the rest of the series!! We can't let it end like this! They even did the preview for episode 52 at the end of 51. Hmmm....I wonder who would voice Fuka if they dubbed the rest of the series...
I own both box sets of Kodocha and I would continue to collect the DVDs if they were dubbed and released here.

Re: Kodocha : English Dub 52 - 102

Thank you for supporting Kodocha. If you want more, then you have to buy the first 2 seasons. The same goes for any multipart anime.

Petitions don't work, especially when they unfortunately say this:

Quote:
Most know all kodocha fans would have LOVED to buy the DVDs but couldn't due to the cost.

Seasons 1 and 2 (the first 51 episodes) are each under $30 now on SAVE. If fans aren't even buying it now, then that tells us that we shouldn't buy more of the series. If you like a show, then support it by buying it.

Petitions are rarely of use to begin with but putting that in there is just sad. It's like telling Funimation "we want you to do this but we won't actually buy it, just give it to us and lose lots of money!"

Silly part, if those same petitioners pooled their money at $10 bucks a month for a year, they could pay for at least 32 episodes. (Assuming $10,000 per ep, which is actually on the HIGH end of dub estimates.)

Put your money where your petitioning is you'll actually get what you want folks. Petitions are fine, they show your support, but you've got to back it up with money.

Re: Kodocha : English Dub 52 - 102

Pretty much what Sophie & Richard have said, Anime is a business, and money talks. If you want more of a show, you have to buy the parts that are already out. And of course it helps if you can get a friend or relative in to the show as well.

Remember people no matter what the business is, sales are the main objective.

But yeah, I can appriciate that there are still those fighting to see older anime continued in the states, however petitions, complaints, etc really get you nowhere overall.

But yeah Kodocha, Detective Conan, all great older shows (heck conan's my fav older anime of all time) But they didn't sell well enough for funi to Justify doing more (well cept possibly more Conan movies down the line, but no more TV sadly.) Given that could possibly change with time, funi could go back to their older shows, someone else could pick up the rest, but overall in the end all we can do is do hope for the best, and be satisfied with what we have.

I don't know if Kodocha was lucky enough to also have its manga brought to the states as Conan was, but if so, you might try hunting those down.

Re: Kodocha : English Dub 52 - 102

The way I see it, it's a bit of a paradox, people don't support the release initially finding it too expensive and await a cheaper, larger collection like you would usually expect from Funimation, and believe that they would release the entire series later on. By not earning enough sales within it's production run, shows such as Kodocha don't get their entire series to see the light of day, so Funimation re-releases what it has to gain more sales in formats like S.A.V.E as a last resort, but with no word of the rest of the series to be released, people choose not to waste their money on something that is incomplete. It's quite a challenge in an industry such as this. tear Heck, I'll try to purchase the 2 seasons for the possibility of Funi releasing the second half. Kodocha came out while I was young and still in the narrow minded "only-shonen" pre-teen phase, so it just flew under my radar and I ignored it, but having heard of the great reviews and praise it is getting, I'm willing to give it a shot!

Re: Kodocha : English Dub 52 - 102

Kodocha needs to have the rest of the series English Dubbed for a perfect suiting for all of its fans and to have a complete series instead of an incomplete series. You can look everywhere fans of Kodocha and FUNimation, there have been comments such as mine yearning for a completion of this series in English Dubbed, petitions have started and arguments have been starting anyway you look at this, this is the heart of a true fan hoping for more of a series they had loved so much, leaving Kodocha unfinished can't be tolerated because it's not right as a company of FUNimation's caliber. Anime is a business but a business nonetheless should give their fans an excrete experience of happiness because once you give we watch FUNimation's brilliance on its characters. This was a series lucky enough to be English Dubbed by FUNimation's amazing standards but unlucky enough to be thrown astray in the dumpster of older shows that should be forgotten but you should be mistaken those who think that because the inspiration of hope can still exist and I will be dependent on that miracle that Kodocha will be continued and will be finished. Leaving this show as is isn't a very professional part by FUNimation, it should be finished for purposes of when you start something you must finish it. I as a fan can understand that sales weren't the best for Kodocha but what I believe in my heart is that if you screen this show on television once again or start the trailers back up once again this show may once again be widely known. After years of the release of Kodocha it has become a favourited anime by many. Sales can be given chances to improve and I promise you we the fans will enforce money for this series to become active once again. Even with the sales' chances of improving I'm pretty sure that all of the Original Cast of Kodocha would also be willing to come back to finish this series in its recording. The fans for sure on an interesting level will support it and it should bring success as it did in Japan. With this small statement of should I as myself can't promise anything because I am not everyone, it just takes time with these chances of making a profit but a chance that you FUNimation can make. So please FUNimation, bring Kodocha back for an English Recording and I can assure you that I, a very small particle of this world will be supporting in it and many others just like me would agree they would support you too in the completion of Kodocha. I can guarantee you that many of its fans will love it and it would most surely bring a lot of different aspects of many people of what kind of a show Kodocha is. I hope that Jerry Jewell had once said in commentary comes true and that is if this series ever finishes or at least continues he can do before he turns 40. Give this fan a miracle of a lifetime for I have hope, please.

Re: Kodocha : English Dub 52 - 102

I Myself Have Bought Both The Series Of Kodocha And Will Continue To Do So.
If Funimation English Dubs The Rest Of The Series I Would Gladly Appreciate It And Buy The Rest Of The DVDS And So Would The Fans. I Understand That The Series Was Lowly Distributed And That This Is A Business, But Kodocha Has Gained Alot More Fans Then What It Started Off With. Like I Said Before, I Guarantee That Kodocha Will Be A Huge Success.
I Will Keep High Hopes For The Show And I Will Always Support The Show, No Matter What This Situation Will Turn Out To Be. So Please Keep In Mind The Thoughts Of Your Viewers.

Re: Kodocha : English Dub 52 - 102

I understand what you mean when you say that we need to buy the series if we want it to continue and I agree. I know there are some animes out there that are just not worth the money but i belive that Kodocha is worth it. kitty All you people who just want to watch it online or something dont complain about it not being completed. angry
