Was the panel insightful, do we have any way to know?
I still remember attending a Greenfield/Grant panel on translating many moons ago where they mentioned that subtitles are often less accurate than the dub, and the shock of people in the room was a sight to see.

When university researcher Ayame Himuro confesses to fellow researcher Shinya Yukimura that she’s in love with him, it sets off an interesting debate. Being the kind of students that they are, Yukimura wonders if love can be proven as a formula. Himuro’s first attempt, counting increased heartbeats and numbers of longing glances, seem promising. However, when they test those results under laboratory conditions, reenacting scenes from romantic manga, the data gets confusing. Especially after they drag in classmate Kanade Kotonoha to act as a “control”, since when she and Yukimura reenact the same scenes, much of the “physical evidence” is duplicated! Of course, that just means that they and their entire research team will just have to try harder! Is love blind? And was it blinded by science? Find out in SCIENCE FELL IN LOVE, SO I TRIED TO PROVE IT!

Dark, mysterious and attractive, she’s a wildcard who plays for the thrill of it… and to maintain her habit, she’s become insanely skilled.

His flesh may be strong but his will may not hold up quite as rigidly when comely babe after babe keeps coming to test this poor Peter’s mettle in PETER GRILL AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S TIME!

Answer is 2 part, Netflix charges too much and owns their dubs. So my guess is that both Sentai and the Japanese licensor both pay half for a dub that stays with the show, and still costs less than what Netflix wants for them to use their dub
DEFINATELY needs time stamps.
But I wanted you to listen to all of it…
Thanks for this, I’m still working my way through it.
I wonder if Sentai would be open to bringing back the commentaries, and putting extras on to the discs. Maybe I’ll have to send that in for whenever the next podcast of fan questions is.
It’s neat that they put videos about what they’re dubbing onto social media, but by the time the disc comes out they’re long lost in the Twitter etc feed. Same goes for the podcast as even when it contains tons of good info about a show’s “behind the scenes”, it isn’t as easy to track down later as when all that stuff is right there on the disc.
