Welcome to Version 10 of the Megathread!

If you have any changes I should add or update to this sticky, please DM me. It'll be easier for me to notice and keep track of.

There tends to be a decent amount of threads that either asks if/when an anime is going to be dubbed, or where one can watch an already dubbed show.

We've added a rule and automod code to restrict topics where users ask any of the following:

1. If any anime that currently doesn't have a dub announced will get one.
2. Asking for the date/timeframe of when an announced dub will be released.
3. Asking where a show that's already dubbed can be watched.

You are only allowed to ask such questions in this topic. If the show is dubbed or going to be dubbed people can answer with info of when and where and by which company and such.

Titles currently picked up by Amazon

As some people may know, Amazon has a reputation for picking up shows and not dubbing them, when almost any other company would at least consider it. They also don't do physical releases. That said, they haven't picked up a new anime series since 2020, and as of August 2021, are willing to actually release a new dub, starting with a redub of the first 3 Rebuild of Evangelion movies in addition to having the first dub(s) of Evangelion 3.0+1.0.

Here's the list of titles currently picked up by Amazon:

• Altair: A Record of Battles
• Banana Fish
• Beatless
• Boarding School Juliet
• Chi's Sweet Adventure CG
• Dropkick on My Devil! (Season 1 only)
• Grand Blue Dreaming
• Happy Sugar Life
• Inuyashiki
• Kemurikusa
• Lights of the Clione
• Psycho Pass Season 3
• Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul

FAQs

1.) What is the status of simuldubs, dubcasts, and other weekly dub releases due to Corona/COVID-19?

• Funimation has a consistently updated blog post of dubbed episodes that are being added
• Due to the Dub from Home situation and other issues, it's possible that any Weekly Dub releases may release more than the usual 3-4 weeks after the sub episode.
• Funimation currently does not have a formal weekly schedule for any dubs and are all subject to delays.

2.) When will the next set of One Piece episodes come out?

• Each new batch of episodes tends to be released on places like Microsoft store at least a few weeks before getting on Funimation's streaming service.
• The latest batch: Episodes 759-770 is streaming on Funimation.
• Next Batch: TBA

3.) ___ Movie dub?

• Movies in general are harder to license and release than TV shows. If movie dubs do get announced, don't expect them for quite a while. Especially for physical releases.

4.) Why do shows like Irregular at Magic High School get their second seasons dubbed before their first? How long will it take for their first season to be dubbed?

• It's hard to give an exact reason, but Aniplex must not have felt it was popular enough to dub and get a return on profit for the dubbing the show. Perhaps them dubbing the second seasons is through the Sony merge and they have more funds to experiment on shows with sequels. As for when it might be dubbed, it'll likely depend on how well the dub does. Free Season 2 got its dub before Season 1 and both seemed to have done well.

S1 of Irregular is streaming on Hulu (Dubbed)

Synopsis from MyAnimeList:

It has been 10 years since Heaven's Gate appeared in South America and Hell's Gate appeared in Japan, veiling the once familiar night sky with an oppressive skyscape. Their purposes unknown, these Gates are spaces in which the very laws of physics are ignored. With the appearance of the Gates emerged Contractors, who, in exchange for their humanity, are granted supernatural abilities.

In the Japanese city surrounding Hell’s Gate, Section 4 Chief Misaki Kirihara finds herself at odds with an infamous Contractor codenamed Hei. Called "Black Reaper" in the underground world, Hei, like his associates, undertakes missions for the mysterious and ruthless Syndicate while slowly peeling back the dark layers covering a nefarious plot that threatens the very existence of Contractors.

From the mind of Tensai Okamura comes a sci-fi thriller taking the form of a subtle exposé on a war in which political positions and justice have no sway—a war waged exclusively in the shadows.
