Hi FUNimation, will Assassination Classroom be one of the shows to get a broadcast dub? I really want to know how Koro Sensei will sound in English. PS I hope you guys cast Brina Palencia as Nagisa, she’ll be perfect for the role. I would also like it if you cast Bryce Papenbrook as Karma, Jamie Marchi as Bitch Sensei, Monica Rial as Kayano, and Robert McCollum as Karasuma.
Ian Sinclair would be amaaaazing as Koro Sensei.
I’m sorry, but I personally don’t see how that is going to work out. I started a thread on the Assassination Classroom forum about a possible dub cast. Please visit my thread and type down your ideal dub cast there, I will reply you back. PS What did you think of my choices, be honest do you think they’re good or bad.
I hope Absolute Duo and World Break are on that list of Broadcast Dubs as well.
This is gonna be epic. One of my favorite anime. Just please dub the OVA as well. Give us the dubbed version of that very sweet Yuki/Yuno ending.
Did you just announce that Broadcast Dubs will return or did you actually announce what titles you’re doing it for? Because damn I am really curious as to what’s gonna happen with it.
They announce the Blu-Ray release right after I purchase the DVDs… :/
About time you got the BDs for that show.
Finally!! I Cant wait… I hope fairytail is among those shows!!!
My guess on Broadcast Dubs are: Kamisama Kiss, because they already have the cast for that show, Death Parade, and Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE, for the lols, and MAYBE Assassination Classroom
I really hope that they dub Kamisama Kiss Season 2, I loved the dub for Season 1 and I really want to Tatum’s voice as Tomoe again. I can’t wait to find out which shows get dubbed, I really hope that one of them is Tokyo Ghoul.
If J. Michael Tatum doesn’t play Tsukiyama in Tokyo Ghoul, then I don’t who can. I would also love a Tokyo Ghoul Broadcast Dub, with it being my favorite manga, but I think they’ll dub Season 1 first , but FUNimation do tend to suprise me.
I never saw Tokyo Ghoul or read the manga. Is it good? I like the character designs in the show. I wonder who would be a good voice for Ken Kaneki, do you have any ideas of a good choice for him. Since I don’t know the character, I can’t think of a good voice of him.
The anime was good, as a standalone it’s a 7.5/10, for me anyway. The manga is pretty brilliant, the writing and character developement is superb. I highly recommend it, if you read manga. As for the voice cast, I imagine Josh Grelle would be a rather great voice actor choice. He would be able to portray the wimpy side of Kaneki, and “the other side” of him, rather well. But personal, “dream” you might say, I would love Johnny Yong Bosch to play Kaneki.
@HeroZeroVA Nice choice, I think Josh Grelle would be amazing as Ken Kaneki. I’m not sure that Johnny Yong Bosch would be a good fit for him, I personally think that his voice want match the character.
#@$! got future diary on dvd in the nice box but hell im buying on bluray for sure
I’m glad I didn’t buy the dvd for future diary now. I love the show and will definitely buying this. As far as the simal dubbed shows, I’m happy they are coming back. I’m visually impaired so I can’t read the subs very well. I hope Death Parade gets dubbed on the line up.
I have the FD dvds but that’s only because I sadly do not have a blu ray player. (yeah I know). Death Parade dub hell yeah. I’d be down with Tokyo Ghoul but like with Free! it’d be weird if they dubbed the second season first. Kamisama Kiss for suuuuure. I mean I know they’re going to dub it at some point, hopefully, if not i’ll cry. but it would be really cool if they did a broadcast/simul dub.
I agree with you 100% about Kamisama Kiss Season 2 getting a dub, I loved the dub for Season 1 and I want to hear J. Michael Tatum reprising his role as Tomoe. I hope that all the dub actors reprise their original roles, as for the new characters I honestly don’t know who can voice them. PS I also think it’s weird that they’re dubbing Season 2 of Free! first, but for some reason Crunchyroll won’t let FUNimation have the license for Season 1.
yes funimation broadcast dubs suggestions: Kamisama kiss 2 , Death Parade, Tokyo Ghoul 2, ASS Class,last one but not least Junketsu no Maria… im willing to rewatch the episode or even wait for the english dubbed… if any of these shows does not get a simulcast dubb.. I’m Outta Here YOOO!!!
FUNimation is finally done with their broadcast dubs of Laughing Under The Clouds and Psycho-Pass 2. I wonder what they are going to dub next? I really like your suggestions for the next batch of broadcast dubs and I would love to see dub of Assassination Classroom, Kamisama Kiss 2, Death Parade, and Tokyo Ghoul. Out of all the shows you suggested the one dub that I’m really looking forward to is Assassination Classroom, I really want to hear Koro Sensei’s English voice so badly.
I hope they put Absolute Duo on that list as well.
Yes, Absolute Duo is on the list to get dubbed. The other shows that has been announced are Assassination Classroom, Kamisama Kiss Season 2, Tokyo Ghoul Season 2, Death Parade, and Maria the Virgin Witch.
