Deer girl anime is licensed by [REMOW](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-06-21/my-deer-friend-nokotan-streams-on-crunchyroll-prime-video-adn-anime-onegai-more/.212277), not crunchyroll. Since it’s the same company that licensed Migi and Dali, let’s hope that they will hire a competent studio to dub it and not cheap out on it.
Should REMOW commission a potential My Deer Friend Nokotan dub, it will be great to see studios like Sound Cadence and Okratron 5000 handling it. It’ll be like the good old days. 😁
Edit: ffs, REMOW cheaped out [AGAIN!](https://www.reddit.com/r/Animedubs/comments/1dxir4c/my_deer_friend_nokotan_episode_1_premiere_dub/)
I don't get it as someone who grew up in the early 2000's where anime wasn't as popular and where we had to get fansubs after they premiered in Japan. It's 2024. It feels like everything should be simulcasted and dubbed in English.
Just saying, also tons of union actors will work under a different names or go uncredited to avoid getting in trouble for doing a non union gig. The game "tales of xillia" doesnt have voice actor credits so the VA dont get in trouble with the union for doing non union work. It could also not be worth it to dub, like how most anime games arent dubbed these days cause of voice cast size make it not profitable to dub.
Yes, but considering anime is a national export of Japan a cost increase is just a part of doing business. More dubbed animes translate to more profit in the long run via merchandise and licensing. The companies can afford it.
Crunchy doesn't really use union talent, that's more Netflix's thing. IMO cost of living increases in Texas, where a lot of non-union studios are based, are more likely to drive up costs than new SAG contracts.
You are asking for way too much, the year being 2024 has nothing to do with it. There is only one thing that matters above all else, quality. If the quality is immaculate, they’ll make it happen no matter what excuse would be given otherwise. That’s all there is to it
> You are asking for way too much, the year being 2024 has nothing to do with it.
I don't believe so. The 1990's and early 2000's was a different landscape for anime. Now almost a quarter century into the millennium anime is a major export from Japan to America and other western nations; and Japan is well aware of this to the point where the Japanese embassy in DC sponsors anime conventions and culture events concerning manga and anime. Anime at this point should not be treated any different than any other national product and export of a nation and Japan is the king when it comes to animation. Knowing the demand is there Japan should work to provide the supply so that it can benefit; not only monetarily but in other ways such as acceptance of Japanese culture and good relations with western nations; and that is primarily done with English animes pervading western nations media systems. I hate to make it political but anime is a national export of Japan. So the year 2024 is a issue when you're at 24 years providing insufficient supply to a demand that benefits Japan in many ways.
I've said that about a few shows that ive been waiting for like 7th time loop, villianess level 99 and a whole bunch that are hindi, french, Dutch, Portuguese or Latin or whatever. Not saying people don't deserve to watch and hear things in their own language, but I would think English would have priority too since it's more universal. That's if they even bother to dub at all. I hear sengoku youko is awesome but it's only sub like alot of shows I want to watch and probably never will
The team that picks what gets dub is dropping the ball. I mean I really love Isekai series but romance series are getting punched in the nuts for dubs rn. I really miss when we had both funimation and crunchy dubs. I got way more dubs for anime I was looking forward to.
Crunchyroll barely has any competitors that dub anime the way they do, so they don't have to justify spending money on dubbing every show they acquire.
Remember when FUNimation and Crunchyroll were two different entities, there would be times where they acquired the same shows for streaming. Now this raises a dilemma for the consumer, "why should I watch this show on X streaming service over Y streaming service?" So, FUNimation would provide the benefit of dubbing whatever show they acquired. That doesn't exist anymore.
And, why would they take risks dubbing shows they don't know will be successful when they know the general consumer will eat up the next batch of isekai for the season?
We also have to look at the fact that there's only a handful of directors at Crunchyroll and they can only work on so much per season. Yes, outsourcing would solve this issue, like when the merger began, but Crunchyroll would rather die than outsource a new property to another recording studio.
In general, it just seems like they're cheaping out on dubbing. Maybe for the reasons listed above or maybe for other reasons. Funimation's whole focus was to provide dubbed anime to a western audience but it's easy to see that Crunchyroll's focus is delivering subtitled anime to their audience (quality aside), unless the it's their big hit of the season then they're going all out on producing a dub and promoting the shit out of it.
The merger hasn't had any benefit for dub watchers at all and I hate it.
They are using their resources to dub stuff in Hindi, Tamil and a bunch of other languages instead of funding more English dubs. It's a shame, really.
As long as CR's current CEO is in charge, things will keep going downhill like this for us English dub fans.
I always find it disappointing when I go through the new shows and find one with a really interesting premise only to see it get skipped in favor of another isekai (which I do also like).
On one hand, I do believe they single out series that are likely to be the more popular ones in a season. On the other, I highly doubt that nearly all of the isekai series are guaranteed to be the biggest hits.
It kills me that in the spring there was a MAPPA-produced baseball anime that got passed over.
It wasn't something I personally was all that interested in, but I'm shocked that deer anime isn't getting dubbed. As for the stuff I am interested in, it's a mixed bag. Pretty bad season for dubbed romcoms specifically. You have the one big one and then... literally one other? I think? And then like 5-10 that aren't getting dubbed. It's disappointing.
Because CR doesn’t have the license to that show. A Japanese company called Remow licensed it and simply sub licensed it to CR. It’s up to them if they want to commission a dub or not
I couldn’t care less if that stupid deer anime dub existed or not. However, they’re missing a crap ton of other series that should be dubbed. It’s worse than Spring as of now
Not all of the summer 2024 dubs have been announced yet also if the remove the reoccurring isekai's that are getting dubbed that only makes one this season and two last season.
Where the hell are the Love Live dubs? Superstar 2 and season 3 this year, Nijigasaki OVA, along with the trilogy of movies coming out and its specials Nijiyon. I feel like Crunchyroll doesn’t care about Love Live like Funimation did.
As someone who has had only two or three shows CR picked up that I've been hyped about actually get dubbed in the entire two years post-merger, I feel this hard.

People always forget the cost of voice acting, also more voice actors are part of SAG now which means further cost increase
What does sag have to do with CR if they use tons of new non union actors and pay them dirt for it?

Elusive Samurai is an Aniplex show, if it gets dubbed it’ll be announced later this year
Hopefully
Its shonen jump as well. Would be shocked if it went undubbed.
That's good. I was adding it to my dropped list but I'll add it to my fall list to revisit. Hopefully CR will have the dub then.
And this is why I freaking hate Aniplex. They are slow as hell and expensive.
I’m just upset that Cafe Terrace still hasn’t gotten a dub. Like c’mon bro, wtf.
I don’t understand why days with my stepsister gets a Hindi dub but not an English one.

A shame
And they stopped doing backlog dubs, along with no longer dubbing any music anime like Love Live or Bocchi
the music I can't blame them for. it's an extremely costly thing to do. as long as they sub it on screen, it doesn't bother me so much.
How is it extremely costly to just dub the dialogues and leave the songs as is? That's what they have been doing before the merger.
That's what I just said
I always find it disappointing when I go through the new shows and find one with a really interesting premise only to see it get skipped in favor of another isekai (which I do also like). On one hand, I do believe they single out series that are likely to be the more popular ones in a season. On the other, I highly doubt that nearly all of the isekai series are guaranteed to be the biggest hits. It kills me that in the spring there was a MAPPA-produced baseball anime that got passed over.
So it's not just me. Though to be honest, I've felt like Crunchyroll doesn't really get Funimation numbers of dubs per season anyway.
Yeah, Funimation would get more title.
And this is yet another reason why near monopolies are bad for the industry.
Less competition means less reason to put effort into anything really. Merger continues to prove to be bad for fans
Streaming services are not in a competition that is good for the users. Distributors are, but not streams.
yeah I agree and what's really funny crunchyroll delayed the dub for kaiju no.8 till later in month but ep 11 is out dub if u know where to look

I'm kind of surprised that they aren't doing Nokotan after the amount of hype it's had. at least it's not up to CR.
I heard dubbing still had super thin profit margins. Disappointing
Not all of the summer 2024 dubs have been announced yet also if the remove the reoccurring isekai's that are getting dubbed that only makes one this season and two last season.
The one only dubbed in Polish is the one that really confuses the heel outta me.
Where the hell are the Love Live dubs? Superstar 2 and season 3 this year, Nijigasaki OVA, along with the trilogy of movies coming out and its specials Nijiyon. I feel like Crunchyroll doesn’t care about Love Live like Funimation did.

Yeah it definitely feels that way now. Even if it may not be numerically accurate.
No, several people are not happy if you check out some other discussion posts from yesterday.
I understand they are a business. They gotta do what makes money but do see where you are coming from OP.
I mean, that's kinda normal during sequel-heavy seasons
Not really a sequel heavy season that was spring.
All the Big Show came out in Spring. We gotta wait for the Fall.
What about summer tho
