UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

[RaeDra]

they definately approached former (and presumably current) employees of the company, but yea it doesn't paint a positive picture. The fact all that stuff wasn't, understandably, covered (plus some interesting other comments made elsewhere) shows the issues have accumulated over the years.

GKids got Dandadan for home video as Toho own it and Science Saru. It was pretty obvious Crunchyroll weren't promoting it as they never did their usual social posts of highlight clips from the series like they would with most of their streaming titles.

I wonder with this, it was before any acquistion was announced but of course, that may have started before. The primary licensor for Dandadan is MBS (Mainichi Broadcasting System, the TV broadcaster) and, like a few others recently, decided to go nonexclusive. This, along with producing the English dub themselves (clearly priortised as all the other languages, to my knowledge, are provided/created by streaming partners, and also wasn't done on the cheap), means you can probably expect it with AL over here, with no real issues. They already had the theatrical run preview thing of course.
