I’m curious how season two will be handled. I don’t know if this was popular enough for them to spend the money to outsource a dub. So if they decide to dub it, and that could be a big if, they could just recast for season two. Of course, I wouldn’t be surprised if season two is subonly.

It’s a good question, I seem to recall reading somewhere - not a normal Anime News site - that Media Blasters had gotten as far as actually dubbing the second season before their corporate troubles forced a halt. ( Maybe the checks started bouncing. ) That would leave only the OVA’s which likely would just be left sub only.

Q. If you end up dubbing Squid Girl, seeing as how there’s already a dub for season 1, would you go straight to season 2 or redo season 1 as well?

A. That’s a good question, but we just announced the acquisition of that, so we haven’t started thinking that far ahead just yet. Keep the comments coming though, since we are reading them all with great interest.

Q. Please dub Squid Girl Season 2 with the same Bang Zoom cast as Season 1! You did it for K-On, why not this?!

A. Thank you for the suggestion :slight_smile: At this point, anything is a possibility concerning Squid Girl. Thanks for letting us know your thoughts!

Q. If you plan on dubbing season 2 of Squid girl, are you gonna bring the original voice cast back or change the cast as a whole?

A. Great suggestion. Something to look into :slight_smile: It would be pretty fun, but we’ll have to see.

Q. So I’m sure ya’ll are quite aware of how many hearts you’ll crush if you don’t dub Squid Girl’s season season
 If hypothetically you do end up dubbing it, what are the odds the OVAs will be dubbed as well? Just curious!

A. If the rest of a series gets a dub, we try to dub the OVA if materials are available. (You know how, sometimes, OVAs are released WAAAAAAY
 WAAAAAAAAAAAAY after a series airs?)

Squid Girl S2 is saved from MB’s falling out :blush:

If it is dubbed, I wonder how the English episode will be handled :confused:

http://ask.fm/SentaiFilmworks/answers/139560218077

Q. Will Squid Girl get a completely different dub cast and will we have SG plushies to promote the home media release?

A. We cannot discuss unannounced dubs or home video releases on ask.fm. Apologies.

SG plushie sounds super cute, but no word on merchandise.

hmmm Though She never mentions what work she was doing in Houston TX, a certain voice actress who voices a certain Invader from the Ocean was in Houston TX

I knowed you was gonna’ dub the resta’ Ika Musume, just knowed it.

Traffic!!! Yep, that there’s Houston. You betcha’.

Oh, she was on United ( ex-Continental ). Hope the flying was good, yikes!

Something I noticed. The Sentai release is titled: The Squid Girl. Is this to differentiate between this release and Media Blasters, or is it just a stylistic change?
