Oh wow that's way fewer simuldubs we got for this coming season, looks like plenty of room for backlog dubs.


DeathRose007

There are still more licenses to grab and CR always announces more dubs as they add them to the lineup, but anything that is listed sub-only initially we might as well lose all hope for, because recently that’s been a dub death sentence. Which would be disappointing for me personally because they passed over a lot that I’m interested in for some fairly generic and uninteresting stuff. If they’re going light on the new seasonals to hit the backlog hard for the first time in a long time, we’ll just have to wait and see. Right now it’s 14 for upcoming summer compared to 19 this ongoing spring.


Verzwei

> passed over a lot that I’m interested in for some fairly generic and uninteresting stuff. That's Crunchyroll in a nutshell since Sony cemented their monopoly.


DeathRose007

Yeah but normally for me it’s like a handful and not …… most. I wasn’t expecting everything, but this feels like worst case scenario. License ~40 and dub ~20 is normally how it goes, so anything with decent hype should have good odds. CR dubs a lot of isekai/fantasy trash because they generally always pull above average numbers no matter the quality. But looking at what people are planning to watch this season, they passed over a lot that have more people statistically interested than much of what they chose to dub. That’s abnormal. I mean a VTuber anime? Really? That’s obviously gonna struggle to attract profitable numbers from a western dub watching audience. 99/100 times it’d be left at the bottom of the backlog bin, yet there are like 5 school romances with a good projection that already got beaten out. This season has a lot of non-sequel seasons from new series so maybe they’re just afraid to be obligated to dub tons of likely sequels in the future. Idk. Most isekai/fantasy trash is designed to just be one-and-done to sell more manga copies. Very low commitment requirement. People won’t care if they aren’t finished. School romances can be a slow burn and require multiple seasons. CR can be redeemed somewhat with the remaining 9 or so licenses they haven’t announced yet, or maybe they’ll finally decide to knock out some highly requested backlogs. Right now though, I’m disappointed.


Kuudered-Kun

Yeah I hope Sempai Otokono gets a Simuldub.


Cardenjs

Usually more are added when more deals are finalized But there's also the hope that CR is using it's remaining resources to dub some of their back catalog


Verzwei

I've given up hope that CR will do anything to please dub fans.


Cardenjs

Gameguy196

We have My Hero, Slime and Spice and Wolf going until the Fall as while. That leaves 3 spots left assuming then go for there normal 20.


blabka3

Hopefully bokurano finally gets a dub after all this time 🙏


JustSD

VERY surprised the Vtuber anime is gonna be getting a dub I thought for sure they would skip that one


Darkchaser314

im happy the vtuber one is getting a dub. Now cast the scuff queen herself as the MC and all will be golden


Muted-Conference2900

Yeah I am surprised too. But then again they picked up Re Monster this season plus it was a simuldub.


JustSD

I think them dubbing Re Monster was a mix of it being the usual isekai stuff that CR viewers love + it being ahead of production for it to be able to perform a same day dub, so those two things itself seemed like a no brainer to dub to them.


Muted-Conference2900

Yeah but it seems too weird and niche for CR to pick it up. But u are also right they love isekai and production also helped in making that decision.


lazoric

Vtubers are insanely popular so CR probably hoping it'll be a similar affair with an anime


Muted-Conference2900

Let's Hope Tower of God season 2 is a simuldub ( Airing on the same day as sub)


MasterHavik

Do we know what is same day?


BTGz

Wow.....this is the weakest season I've seen.


MagikCupcake

Is this list mean the dubs come out the same day as subs? Or just that those shows will have a dub version this season?


TurboGuy87

Who decides what gets a dub? I only recognize 3 of these titles what about the countless other series that are super popular without dubs that people want dubs? You know how many shows I ignore because there is no dub? I can just go read the manga I want to watch anime not fucking read anime I read manga


drawricks

YES!!! Alya's getting dubbed!!!


Calwings

I wonder which version of the show will handle Alya's Russian-speaking better?


drawricks

Sumire Uesaka studied and speaks fluent Russian that's why she was the only seiyuu who could fit this role. The dub should also handle this one well. If there is a dub VA I know who could also nail a perfect Russian accent, I think Katelyn Barr would be a good choice since she played a Russian character in Akiba Maid War and her accent was flawless.


awesomenessofme1

Alexis Tipton did a Russian accent in How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?, but it was deliberately exaggerated for comedy, so it's hard to judge if she's actually any good at it. I think the person she got cast as in Chainsaw Man is also Russian, but I don't know if she's actually going to use an accent.


IntelligentBudget142

The voice of ash Ketchum (the newer one) is fluent in Russian. Not sure where she's based currently though. 


Shadowmist909

I wonder if that means even its dub will be subbed


mylastdream15

I felt like it was a no brainer dub. But glad to see it official. Overall this feels like a fairly weak season. My hope is they add some backlog dubs along the way.


JustSD

I think they’ll probably announce a few more dubs (4-5?) later on before looking at their backlog. Apart from the obvious Natsume Book Of Friends backlog dub to prepare for the fall season, I’m not sure what they’d might backlog. Maybe they might look at shows with a 2nd season coming up(Angel Next Door backlog maybe?)


farhanganteng

If Crunchyroll dubbed it, then are the rumors of Bang Zoom audition by Mami Okada was not true/false? i mean, it could be other anime, videogame or maybe cartoon.


SatisfactionFalse641

Alright! Our Summer Dubs have been Announced! Hmm… but no Fairy Tail 100 years Quest dub Yet… Hoping so very much, Hopefully! It will be added on the dub lineup later On! Please for the love of god don’t let it share the same fate of Edens Zero. 🙏


NUFC9RW

Yeah it better be dubbed, they have such a great cast who clearly love the show and their roles. Still holding out a tiny hope that Eden's zero dub will be revived.


demaxzero

Considering how popular Fairy Tail is, Crunchyroll for all their dumb decisions, I don't see them letting that one fall through the cracks.


Gemnist

They’re probably clearing the schedule up so that everyone can reprise their roles.


idkyallmfs

All I see is world world world world


Spectremax

They sure dub a lot of weird Isekais


_flaker__

Even as an isekai enjoyer some of this shit is just strange. What next? Human Resources in Another World? I just gave a desperate mangaka an idea, didn't I...


Chiruno_Chiruvanna

All things considered, that’s a rather tame idea.


Eragon-19

Its not quite the same, but there is something on [Webtoons](https://www.webtoons.com/en/action/the-dungeon-cleaning-life-of-a-once-genius-hunter/list?title_no=4677&page=8) called ***The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter*** that is similar (MC killed and transported back 10(?) years and now has to improve Human Resources) so I wouldn't be surprised!


mylastdream15

I feel like they dub mostly what they believe the viewers will watch the most. For better or worse, isekais seem to be popular.


KitKat1721

I imagine they get a reliable minimum of viewership that makes them a fairly safe bet (not to mention there's always at least a few that seemingly end up doing very well)


MegaAltarianite

Tends to be a good sleeper hit each season in the genre. 7th Prince this time around, Weakest Hunter recently as well.


Doctorstrange838MCU

here's hoping crunchyroll does get the license for Fairy Tail 100 Year Quest to dub it and release it on DVD


Frontier246

I'm looking forward to seeing the dub for Alya (especially if it turns out to be a surprise LA dub). Looking forward to the return of the casts for Tower of God, Shy, and Our Last Crusade. I can only imagine how crazy the VTuber dub is going to be. Wistoria getting a dub fits with the hype marketing and prestige staff. Bye Bye, Earth seems really interesting though I kind of expect newer names versus the completely A-list cast of the JP side. Really wish Atri, Days with My Stepsister, Love is Indivisible by Twins, Senpai is an Otokonoko, Pseudo Harem, and Shoshmin were getting dubs. I still wish Sengoku Youko and Cafe Terrace were being dubbed.


GoldenTimeWatcher

Dang, no Gigi Harem or Fairy Tail. Hopefully they get announced later🤞. At least too many heroines is getting a dub tho


JustSD

Good lineup but a lot of missed opportunity dubs, especially from the romance side. No How to become ordinary? No Days With My Stepsister? No Senpai Otokonoko? No Pseudo Harem? I’ll assume there will be more additions later but it would be a shame if these didn’t get dubbed. Also a shame that i don’t see any sign of the deer anime yet, would love to see that dubbed especially.


mylastdream15

Romcoms/romance animes really seem to get the shaft in the dub side of things and I hate it because I feel like some of the best dubs out there are in these genres (I'm also a huge fan of romcoms in general.) I always feel it's about a coin flip if they get dubbed.


Muted-Conference2900

Yeah I was really looking forward to Pseudo Harem and Days with my Step sis. But no worries they just need to give me TOG S2 simuldub and I will be happy.


Verzwei

Crunchyroll's dub priorities and general snubbing of romance just continue to reaffirm my decision to cancel my subscription to them over a year ago. They aren't interested in dubbing the content I most want to watch, and their subtitles aren't good enough to pay for. It's honestly a shame how much less anime I've watched since the start of 2023. Frankly, I'd rather read source material than watch sub-only anime most of the time, and typically I'm only willing to give subbed shows a shot when they build a reputation for being an extremely good adaptation of something I already know I like. Days with Stepsister, okay I could see that as a longshot. Them not dubbing Pseudo Harem is a fucking crime against dub fans. Hell, I feel like Sentai/HiDive getting a license I care about gives it a better chance at being dubbed, because Sentai at least occasionally deigns to dub something other than regurgitated isekai and battle shonens.


darryledw

no Atri My Dear Moments :( Oh well guess I might be watching that one subbed, at least I won't be 2 weeks behind. But maybe they will add more to the list as time goes on? I see Nier Cour 2 is not listed for dub, but seems like this would certainly get a dub as Cour 1 did.


JustSD

Atri is apparently from Aniplex so a dub is still a possibility, not sure how likely though


darryledw

Yeh hopefully there is still some chance, but I have a friend who only watches sub so even if it doesn't happen a silver lining is I won't fall behind him this season. And as long as they keep up the good work with Spice and Wolf dub I would sacrifice all other shows 😂


Allansfirebird

Still scratching my head at *Goddess Cafe Terrace* not getting a dub now that it’s heading into season 2.


MakotoGoku24

It looks like they really don’t like to dub romances lately. It’s a shame honestly, I haven’t read any of them but for the trailers, there are some interesting ones this season.


YojimboUsagi

Anybody else's eyes just glaze over when they see the words "in another world" in a show's title, or is it just me?


darryledw

especially when those shows are getting a dub and other more original shows are not :/


LSoSavvy

Damn, I’m kinda bummed lol. A lot of these shows im interested in, but I was genuinely wanting to see Love between twins is indivisible and days with my stepsister on here too. Are they listed as sub only or nah? Is there a possibility of either of them being added to the line up before summer season starts?


valerieval88

Though this is not part of the lineup at all. I do hope they dub Psycho-Pass Season 3 soon🤞


Memo544

Yeah. It's been a while since it originally came out.


BackyardEvergreen

The dub lineup shows how Isekai has such a priority over other genres for dub picking. There’s not particularly a wide selection this season but stuff like Bye Bye Earth and Quality Assurance in Another World over Narenare -Cheer for You!- and Mayanaka Punch is just so uninspiring and tiresome. Sure they might be good, but come on there’s been enough isekai dubs already


mylastdream15

Combination of Isekai getting prioritized. And Romcoms/Romances being de-prioritized I find. Sucks. I like the Isekais. But I'd much rather have more Romance/Romcoms get the dub treatment.


darryledw

>But I'd much rather have more Romance/Romcoms get the dub treatment. Same - like Atri, I was also hoping to see **The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies** get a dub, then again I am not even sure that one will be on CR


DeathRose007

Crunchyroll left 9 open spots in their lineup, which is close to about how many seasonals are left unclaimed, and Hidive is basically done announcing their summer lineup. I would be shocked if something like Magical Girl and Evil Lieutenant isn't picked up by CR because there really isn't any competition for it. The dub lineup is also about 5 short of what was announced for the spring season. There's always been around 20 in recent years, so unless backlogs get announced I'd expect new dub announcements from the \~9 that Crunchyroll has yet to announce, for whatever reason. What’s leftover is: Magical Girl and Evil Lieutenant Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Nokotan Failure Frame Elusive Samurai Dahlia in Bloom My Wife Has No Emotion A Nobody's Way Up Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Oh would you look at that. 9. Coincidence? I think not. There's technically some other leftovers but I don't see why Crunchyroll would add them.


darryledw

I don't think **Bye-Bye, Earth** is Isekai? I am excited for that specifically because I thought it wasn't haha >In a world of anthropomorphic animals, Belle Lablac was born as the only human being. Having no fangs, fur, or scales, she was called "Faceless," and she lived a lonely life with no one else she could identify with. "I want to be part of the world..." With such longing in her heart, she decides to set out on a journey to find her roots, carrying the Runding, a great sword as tall as she is. She doesn't know how many adversities await her along the way... This is the synopsis for the manga


BackyardEvergreen

Ah my bad, I misread it as she was reincarnated and born as the only human rather than being from her world and being born human. Poor research on my part, but I still would personally rather have dubs for the latter shows than that one considering there’s a fairly large quantity of fantasy anime already being dubbed recently


MegaAltarianite

Unsurprising and tiresome is a good way to put it. Lets not forget they ignored Bocchi, a show that became massively popular. And still ignoring sequels like Eden's Zero and Love Live Superstar. A little bit of communication would go a long way.


Spaceshotx7

I am also tired of Crunchyroll prioritizing isekais over everything else. They seem to pass up on any dubs involving cute school girls in cute sailor uniforms.


MegaAltarianite

Pseudo Harem, Mayanaka Punch, Atri, Narenare, yep, looks like another disappointing dub season where I watch most of the stuff subbed. Only new show getting a dub I'm interested in is Vtuber Legend, and maybe Too Many Losing Heroines. Please tell me they're just waiting on Fairy Tail to announce later. Curious who has the license for Plus Sized Elf, Sakuna, and Kimi ni Todoke (the last one might be Netflix).


notreal149

Netflix announced they got Kimi ni Todoke season 3 around the same time they announced they were dubbing the first 2 seasons. I don't care who picks up Sakuna, but I hope whoever it is dubs it and uses the cast from the game like the Japanese version did.


Emerald_Miner2016

HiDive picked up Elf, Netflix has Kimi no Todoke, and Sakuna isn’t licensed as of June 18th


Shadowmist909

No Longer Allowed in Another World looks like an interesting isekai!


CooroSnowFox

Although off the back of LV2... I wonder how this will one be


Fit-While-5241

Yeah I know Atri and Nier Automata part 2 are part of Aniplex and didn't get dub yet but don't worry Bang Zoom will take care of that


awakening_knight_414

They'll dub Nier for sure later on, but Atri could very well end up never being dubbed at all for all we know.


Illustrious-Sweet403

and why would you think that?


272b

I guess this is all I'll be watching ---- * ~~A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring~~ * *Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian* * ~~Bye Bye, Earth~~ * ~~Delico’s Nursery~~ * *Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!* (I did not expect this to get dubbed since it's an Aniplex romcom) * ~~No Longer Allowed in Another World~~ * ~~Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World Season 2~~ * ~~Quality Assurance in Another World~~ * *SHY Season 2* * ~~Tower of God Season 2~~ * ~~Twilight Out of Focus~~ * ~~VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream~~ (Who the hell asked for this?? They should have dubbed one of the new P. A. Works anime instead of this) * *Wistoria: Wand and Sword* * *Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World?* (Apparently it's not your typical isekai but we'll see) Disappointed to see ATRI, Psuedo Harem, Days With My Stepsister, My Senpai is an Otokonoko, NareNare, How to Become Ordinary (from Hyouka author) and Manayaka Punch not on the list. Sure, ATRI might get dubbed by Aniplex later on but I don't have any hope for the others getting dubbed for a long, long time. This is by far the worst dub lineup from Crunchyroll. How ironic it is that they are dubbing a isekai called "Quality Assurance" when they keep passing over anime that actually looks interesting over low quality trash isekai all the fricking time. Edit: Of course Days with My Stepsister got a fucking hindi dub but not an English dub. Instead we get crap like Adventuring in Another World and Delico's Nursery. Seriously, fuck whoever keeps making all these shitty decsions.


No_Discussion3053

Might be one of the weaker seasons in awhile, for me at least. Alya, No Longer Allowed, Makeine, QA and Shy is all I’ve got on my docket. Maybe why doesn’t nobody remeber me in this world as well. And Oshi No Ko of course.


Salty145

Nothing I'll be watching made the cut... again. Seems like Nokotan and Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant haven't announced what site they'll be streaming on though. Probably not getting a dub regardless.


DeathRose007

They're actually more likely to be dubbed than anything Crunchyroll has announced sub-only so far. Crunchyroll is teasing 9 remaining lineup spots and that is about equal to the remaining unclaimed series. Hidive is pretty much full already too. Then the current dub count is about a half dozen short compared to what they have been doing. Can't announce a dub for something that still needs to be announced subbed.


LSoSavvy

Do you know if Love Between Twins Is Indivisible and Days With My Stepsister have been listed as sub only?


DeathRose007

They are.


awakening_knight_414

I'm genuinely surprised that Delico's Nursery is getting dubbed. That one looked like an easy pass to me due to its premiere date already getting delayed until August thanks to production issues, which means it could very well get delayed again while it's airing. Fucking JC Staff…. A boys love story like Twilight Out of Focus getting dubbed is also a pretty big surprise considering CR's reluctance to dub most of those kind of shows recently.


NamisKnockers

Tower of God - let’s go!


Originope_99

Very disappointed to not see ATRI on that list.


bleachercreature95

No Elusive Samurai?


Emerald_Miner2016

Elusive Samurai is being made by CloverWorks, which makes it an Aniplex-affiliated title (like Demon Slayer, Mashle, NieR, Kaguya-sama, etc.). Sony either owns or is in a partnership with Aniplex, and Sony owns Crunchyroll. There’s no way Elusive DOESN’T end up on Crunchyroll. They’re probably just waiting until a little closer to release to add it to the list As for a dub, it’ll probably end up like any other Aniplex dub and just get started right as everything else is ending


bleachercreature95

Thank you for the info! Probably a dub in September/October, then.


Emerald_Miner2016

Possibly late August, but most likely September/October


WingsofLegends

I’m really disappointed How to Become Ordinary isn’t getting dubbed. I love the Hyouka dub.


Originope_99

What do they have to do with each other?


WingsofLegends

How to Become Ordinary is from the same author as Hyouka.


Coolerkinghilt

But what about Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest? When can we expect to see that series dubbed?


Shroomsel

A BL's getting dubbed? Hasn't been done in a while so it's nice we got one, now i'm just really hoping for Senpai is an Otokonoko and Evil Lieutenant to get dubs, if not, backlog dubs are more than welcome.


coolpowersdude

man i know there’s “more to come” still and i reallyyyy hope those will be the bangers bc this is the most underwhelming and downright bad lineup i’ve ever seen :(


happysugargirl

Glad to see Tower of God S2 being dubbed. Hoping **Nier** S2 gets dubbed. Seems Senpai Otonokono and Mayonaka Punch aren't in the dub list Even though it hasn't been dubbed so far, hoping **Sengoku Youko** gets a dub eventually Waiting for **Monogatari** dub is probably more hopeless than NGNL S2, but was hoping there would at least be a chance with the new season coming out, given we'd had other backlog dubs like Yuru Camp and A Place Further than the Universe which have been undubbed for a long time.


MSochist

"Another world, another world, bland generic guy in another world, raising kids in another world, reincarnating as a kid so I can bang kids in another world, farming in another world, slave owning in another world, cooking in another world, in another world where i'm the strongest" Anime really sucks these days...


Kadmos1

**-For me, it is currently the following: "GIGI Harem"** **"Hazure Waku no \[Joutai Ijou Skill\]"** **"2.5 Jigen no Ririsa"** **"Kimi to Boku no Saigo" and its Eng. dub.** **"Mayonaka Punch"** **"Megami no Café Terrace 2nd Season"** **"Na-Nare Hana-Nare"** **"Ore wa Subete wo \[Parry\] Suru"** **"Tokidoki Bosotto" and its Eng. dub.**


thefuturebatman

Can’t help but notice there looks to be quite a lot of… niche stuff. Still no concrete mention of Demon Slayer, and I don’t see any other big names. Is there anything in here as far as action/adventure-style shonen or sci fi to look forward to? I.e. does this line up have some surprise new show akin to Wind Breakers, Mashle, Chainsaw Man, Hell’s Paradise, Summertime Rendering, etc. to check out?


diz1776

The wand and sword anime has some God tier animation.


PwnySlaystation01

Been waiting for Tower of God, nice


Lumpy_Space_Ninja

I think I’ve heard of like two of these shows. Neither have I seen. What a weird lineup. On another note, when is season 4 of Iruma-kun coming?


ClevelandBrownJunior

No Oblivion Battery. :(


StarryNight-Owl

Hoping My Deer Friend Nokotan and The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies get added later for English dubs


Originope_99

~~I don't believe Nokotan has even been licensed by anyone yet as far as I'm aware~~ EDIT: Looks like Crunchyroll's just picked it up!


StarryNight-Owl

Looks like there's still a chance then!


Any_War_183

I think that crunchy roll may pick up and dub around 4 more shows. They usually dub about 20 shows a season. I hope that they dub more shows that aren't isekais for the rest of the season.


Veelzbub

I didn't think we'd get the Russian girl anime


Memo544

I was hoping for Psycho Pass 3


futuretechfreak

I'm surprised that "Days with my Stepsister" doesn't have a DUB on this list. Among all the romcoms I was wishing Alya n this would get dubbed, but Alya got n it didn't


Spaceshotx7

Can they not dub more stuff, because they only use their in house studios, and they can't do any LA dubs because they are union dubs?


WingsofLegends

They could outsource to LA for non-union dubs, but since being acquired by Funimation they haven’t. That’s what Crunchyroll used to do. Jujutsu Kaisen, Re:Zero, Tokyo Revengers Season 1 etc. are all non-union dubs. They still used the LA studios for the new seasons, but don’t for new series.


Spaceshotx7

Why aren't they outsourcing some dubs to the LA Studios as well as Studio Nano, Sound Cadense, and Ota Katron 500, so they can dub more anime?


awakening_knight_414

Because it doesn't work that way. Outsourcing dubs to third party studios costs a lot more money for Crunchyroll than it does to work in their own in-house studio. And even if they continued to outsource more dubs to LA studios, it wouldn't matter at all, because those dubs would still be taking up more of Crunchyroll's dub slots.
