Will Funimation Dub "Shuffle! Memories".?

will funi dub Shuffle! Memories i know it's a recap of the episodes that describes the events of Shuffle! for the main female characters. but the last episode contains 100% original scenes in other words a new episode. but will funi go all the way to dub this series too?

I will love to see this series dubed it's only 12 episodes but i guess since its been quite a while funi wont have that on their schedule.

so what do you think would you love to see this series dubed? tongue

It's unlikely given that there wouldn't be much of a market for the recap series itself, they couldn't sell the OVA episode alone, and even if they were to include it in a box set of the series (as they did with the Vandread and Kaleidostar OVAs) they couldn't justify the costs of dubbing it, especially since the original series wasn't dubbed in Texas.

Re: Will Funimation Dub "Shuffle! Memories".?

I have to agree, Memories was more of a recap than anything and wouldn't be worth the single episode.
I'm certain though if the japanese company would ever go back and animeize Navel's other VNs from the series, particularly "Shuffle!: Tick Tock" would make more sense for a sequal if they change things around a bit and only maybe 12 episodes. Otherwise they could redo the series and take the epansion of "Shuffle!: Essence+" into account but that probably would be to much to handle for a anime adaptation. The OVA could then be combined in the rights to the new series but I doubt Navel will push for the anime adaptation when the franchise as a whole is doing well enough on the visual novel market alone.

And while i'm at it, I should convince Mangagamer to also pick up the rights to translate the new "Shuffle! Love Rainbow". I really want to see those expansion on Primula and Ruri Matsuri's route this time.

As I was saying, there is no true second season. Frankly I think they made the right choice to end it there to please enough of the VN fans at this point. Shuffle! was after all a VN first and orginally not thought of to become as popular as it did but it is true that many of the sequels to the VN are continuation of certian routes which would have a hard time counting as a sequel to the anime.
Again, like I said, "Shuffle!: Tick Tock" would be the only one that really has a chance of being made sequel anime style; other than that it is simply a VN franchise.

I have to agree that the OVA episode would have been nice if it had been done along with the original series so as it could have been dubbed and licensed along with it, rather than being held off for Memories.

I say that recapping the shuffles memories would be a good idea only if you wanted to show a prequel in the anime and then show the main story it would've made more sense in my opinion I think so.

That is correct. Enjoy what you have.
This has been gone too long to even think of a sequel. If you look back in history of the posts that were made about the first release, you'll understand why the sales wren't there.
