Please no Funi simuldub…
That’s all I ask.
I agree. It was a good idea, in theory, but in theory the metric system works (to borrow from Homer Simpson) lol.
At the moment, it’s still unknown whether it’ll be a TV series or an OVA.
If it winds up being an OVA, the chances of a FUNi simuldub drop down quite a bit.
