Private detective Banba is on the case, but when he uncovers a dark conspiracy, it may be the one curveball he can’t hit.
Keep an eye out for even more announcements coming soon!
Is there any chance we can see “The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. 2” “Overlord 2” “Dagashi Kashi 2” and “The Silver Guardian 2” on the SimulDub lineup?
Okay; one down, three to go!
Two down. They confirmed Overlord Season 2 on Monday:
https://www.facebook.com/funimation/photos/a.87855433480.76540.63889783480/10155264361573481/?type=3
Yay!
Even though it’s pretty doubtful now, I’d still like to see the other two in the lineup, especially “The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. 2”
That is also now the last one that hasn’t been announced, since Silver Guardian 2 was just announced today. Maybe Saiki K will get picked up tomorrow at this rate..
hear anything about saiki k being dubbed? last season got dubbed it be weird not to dub this one
They added 3 of the 4. Now i Really just “The Disastrous Life of Siaiki K 2”
If you guys don’t get Seven Heavenly Virtues I will be very disappointed because it’s part of the Seven Mortal Sins series.
That one should go to Netflix…
I’m not talking about Seven Deadly Sins, I’m talking about something entirely different,
then it will probably be grabbed by FUNimation..
It might, but it is not guaranteed, especially considering what happened with the Seven Mortal Sins with a lot of people basically boycotting it due to the broadcast version they got being censored, rather than the late night uncensored version. Hopefully they realize for those that skipped it will still watch the uncensored version when it is released and just license this one anyway, for those who want to see the alternate version of the show with the virtues, rather than the sins.
FINALS ARE OVER! Time for WINTER SIMULDUBS!!!!
Woot! 🙌
Your wish got granted Dangashi kashi season 2 just got updated still like to wait to find out the other anime
Dagashi Kashi S2 was the wish that I never thought I was going to get, tears of joy shed today!
I am excited that Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san will be dubbed
Great so far!
Note to FUNimation
You have the Karakai description under Cardcaptors description at the end. I was confused when I read that part, thinking that doesn’t sound like a significant plot point for a thing like cardcaptor
I really hope they get Saki K and Overlord Season 2!
Overlord 2 confirmed:
https://www.facebook.com/funimation/photos/a.87855433480.76540.63889783480/10155264361573481/?type=3
All we need now is Saiki K season 2.
indeed we do need that now
There’s already one thing I *really* want out of the new CardCaptor Sakura anime: bringing Meilin back!
Im surprised about a pop team epic simuldub, as sentai has the licence to that.
hopefully this means will get more sentai simuldubs in the future , as it sucks having to wait like a year for sentai dubs
I hope for Overlord as well! The voice acting on season one was OUTSTANDING!!!
They are getting overlord and silver guardian the second season and hakyu hosen engi dubbed
Still waiting for Saiki K Season 2. PLEASE FUNIMATION!!
Hmmm, I wonder who they will get to voice this isekai harem protagonist? *cough*Joshgrelle*cough*
I am glad they have the dates all set up for the dub release of each show
I just finished watching episode 1 of Dagashi Kashi 2 on crunchy, im surprised the episode was only 12 minutes long and looks like it has a new animation studio doing it.
When are you guys are going to add the cast to each dubbed anime of the winter 2018 lineup?
Evidently they’re putting the cast lists on the show pages, not here in the blog.
Ok
I could have sworn that Record of Grandcrest War was on this list about a month ago, but now its dissapeared. Its a shame, seems to be a pretty good show, now ill have to just watch it on crunchyroll.
