No ADV dub, no buy. The BZ dub wasn’t bad, but I have to agree that it was a bit flat compared to the ADV dub. Not to mention that David Matranga fit the lead much better than Johhny Yong Bosch. Plus, it had Hilary Haag.
They should include both dubs, but since I already have two copies of it, it doesn’t matter much to me. It just means my ADV copies will retain their value better.
Exactly. I’m sure they will go down a bit with this news, but they should still gor for a decent price due to the ADV dub. The original Troma/Fox DVDs of Totoro are still pricey due to the Streamline dub not being on the Disney release.
Heck when Best Buy dumped the anime in some stores one here had three copies of it for I think under $10 after the 50% off… I look on eBay and they’re going for around $40 a shot then and pretty steadily… so I go back like the next day - but they were all gone already.

I was just reading the reason why they felt they had to have a new dub and it sounds like horse poop to me. I’m really quite fine with my ADV release as like I said I feel I’ve got the better product. If they put both dubs on the disc I’d be more then happy to double dip ,but without it nothing can change my mind.
Yeah, CR’s excuse for a reason to not use the ADV dub combined with their reps repeated avoidance of admitting any sort of guilt of their old way of operating during the last ANNCast really isn’t helping their overall image. I personally never did anything with them before, but this past week really didn’t help with that any.
I’m not wishing them ruin or anything, but they really have to man up about their past and then try harder to please to simplest kinds of fan demands, like offering multiple dubs if there are any. If Sentai can do so with titles like Appleseed, then CR shouldn’t have any trouble doing so, and their reasoning indicated that they chose the BZ dub over the ADV dub and that it wasn’t forced on them.
Yeah, I’m still debating whether or not to put my copy up for sell on ebay. I’m sure someone else would really appreciate owning it, but it’s nice having a backup copy in case something ever happens to mine.
ADV dub not available? That seems weird as I keep hearing that the Japanese companies that license shows that get dubbed wind up effectively owning those dubs.
ADV wasn’t feeling the love at Otakon, Kleckner shot down the idea of the ADV commentaries on the Nadesico bluray.
