From the mind of legendary American comic creator Stan Lee comes Summer 2017’s latest superhero anime, The Reflection! In addition, it will have a SimulDub filled with a variety of new voices and familiar stars. See the English cast announcement below:
As we roll into a new season of anime, that means new SimulDubs! See what Funimation has in store for the Summer season and also their English cast announcements here on this blog.
Things got so crazy in the last arc of My Hero Academia! But the hype for Season Two is even more insane. We know you’ve been loving the same-day SimulDub™ which has been our hero project for the season. At first, we were only going to be able to bring you 6 episodes of dubs that air the same day as the subs, but studio BONES in Japan and our team at Funimation kept up the pace for a whopping 14 episodes!
The fan response was so great we plan to do more same-day dubs in the future. But for now, episode 27 was our last same-day scheduled for Season Two of My Hero Academia, and we will be returning to our usual dub schedule of airing two weeks after Japan. Stay tuned for the episode 28 SimulDub™ airing July 29th, only on FunimationNow!
We’re heading back to sunny California for Comic-con International: San Diego this weekend! If you’re headed to SDCC or will be in the area, we have lots of stuff planned — even if you don’t have a badge!

As many of you may know, our social team has always been small — but we’ve been steadily growing as we try to gain more resources to give you all the best experience possible! As part of this growth, we are happy to introduce the newest addition to our team — our new Community Manager, Jay Hairston! We’ve never really had a “formal” CM up until this point, and we’re excited to see Jay grow this position. Please join us in giving him a very warm welcome! He’ll also be at Anime Expo with us this weekend, so if you’re attending the convention, feel free to say hello!
We’re still getting him settled into his role, but he’s prepared a message for everyone that he’d like to share:
Hi everyone!
I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself, I’m Justin, however I recently lost my naming rights in a heated office battle with Senior Manager of Social Strategy and Development at Funimation Justin Rojas, so you can call me “Jay.” I’ve recently joined the Funimation team as Community Manager, which means I’m here to talk to, but more importantly, listen to community fans and supporters. I’ll be active on the Funimation forums and various social media platforms.
A bit of background on myself: I hail from the forgotten land of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Growing up during the Toonami era, I was immediately drawn to anime, video games and comics leading to my education in 2D animation and graphic design at the Art Institute of Las Vegas. Through volunteer work, I also discovered a love for helping people with special needs as well. I relocated to Plano, Texas in 2011 to serve as the Program Manager at My Possibilities, a non-profit providing continued education for adults with cognitive disabilities in North Texas. There, four hundred students a week received life skills training, learning to be more independent and to lead more fulfilling lives.
