The1gairon Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) That Episode 84 experiment seems to have been a big hit, so now they're gonna try to continue Operation Dub At Home for a new normal, at least for now. I hope the actors know how to keep those dub kits in great condition too. Maybe Funimation will have to replace them over a time?

OwlChemist81 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Welp, so much for my theory that MHA was going dub premiere on Toonami, though I guess theoretically that COULD still happen on May 9th or May 16th. If MHA is dubbing a new episode every 2 weeks instead of every week, they would run out on May 9th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 I think MHA ALWAYS launched on FunimationNOW a few weeks before Toonami aired it. Last least for the previous seasons. But yeah, now MHA just won't be a dub premiere. At least I can rest easy knowing the finale of this season will air as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0119 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 That is great news. Hopefully MHA will be able finish out its run on Toonami without any issues. Hopefully Black Clover can keep running, at least until its episodes run out, since it is going on hiatus in Japan. It's all well and good if Funimation can continue dubbing at home, but they can't very well dub episodes that don't exist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they already stalled like HALF of all their productions!! MHA isn't too bad because that takes regular breaks every few seasons and Funimation only has like 5 episode left to dub. It's gonna be hard following seasonal anime from now on on the gamble that anything I chose may not last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonami can't dub shows themselves motherfucker. Although come to think about it, I would like to see a Ghost Stories-style dub for Macross 7. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can handle at least 4 voices for the new Toonami dubbed anime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoia and Mob season 1 take care of two slots until August. MHA is the only show that definitely needs to be replaced before August (probably in June). But they won’t air just anything in the first slot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without fresh stuff up front, it won’t give people a reason to stick around for the new stuff. I don’t know what they are going to do, but theyl really should try and get a back catalog show from Funimation or Crunchyroll. I know they are picky about the lead slot, but trying something new is better than just leaving MHA in reruns. What were they going to do had COVID not happened? I think the only thing that threw them for a loop was Food Wars not being able to continue. I think negotiations didn’t happen in time to get season 3, so they got Mob on to take the 1am slot and just brought Paranoia Agent (which was intended to replace Demon at 12:30) out a few weeks early. I can’t see Mob at 1am as anything other than a temporary fix to plug a hole they didn’t know they’d have to fill. I’m also hoping they still had a deal on and this wasn’t something they chose to acquire over a fresh title. I want to believe good things are coming, but nothing that’s happened this year (even before COVID) has been good news in terms of fresh acquisitions. 5 premiere slots lost (6 depending on how you view PA) since the beginning of the year and them also not replacing MHA leads me to believe it’s money related and what we had coming was mostly sequels that may not happen this year. So I’m hoping they actually have plans to replace MHA. They were always going to have to anyway between seasons Edited April 27, 2020 by brianycpht 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 My theory is that Food Wars Season 3 was harder to get the rights to because they were suddenly under another company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I wouldn't say "suddenly". When Toonami picked up Food Wars, the first two seasons were the only ones dubbed by Sentai. They dubbed the third while the Toonami broadcast was going on, so naturally that would be a separate contract. The whole "owned by Crunchyroll" thing just makes licensing it too more difficult on Demarco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Well as with anything in this time, a big successful change means it has to trade it in for something. ... in this case, it's the dubs of all of Funimation's other new seasonal simuldubs, which are now delayed or canceled, including Fruits Basket Season 2, another of their big sellers from the first season. I suppose working from home gives everyone limited amount of work hours no matter what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
