The dub was fine in episode 23, the first half of which I watched in English.

A Viz Media US license does not mean a Kaze license. If it was a ShoPro title, maybe, but it's not.ConanThe3rd said:
FUNimation has rights for UK/IE and AU/NZ for at least the first season (for streaming at least) and the Madman cases had a FUNi logo on which puts the ball in Manga's court. Like Shuffle it seems like they have passed on it? It possibly doesn't help that Madman's S1 discs are NTSC according to their website.Jon O Fun said:
You can watch Shuffle! in the UK legally on YouTube and Viewster so FUNimation have the UK license. Manga have said a couple of times that they are not interested.windcott said:
Ooh, first time I get to use purple on my spreadsheet (Red for ub-only, blue for NTSC).Elaniel said:
They did, before they were hacked and both my credit and debit cards got used. They may have decided it is best not to keep a permanent record of payment details at all.... since then all orders I have placed have been through PayPal which always means immediate payment anyway.Agent-347 said:
I remember years ago it seemed like they typed your card details into one of those card readers as you got a "cardholder not present" receipt stapled to your invoice.

Yes. You used to have the same style of thermal receipt that those things churn out.
Like this: http://www.streamline.com/assets/5.2.10 ... eceipt.gif (but the customer copy).
That was a long time ago now though, back then they still had a UK Anime club.

Had another look just now, and the lip sync for the English dub isn't all that great, which doesn't help. The one way to check is if the foley is in time with the on screen action, and the audio does get a smidge ahead of the action in the English dub at the second half of episode 1. I've seen worse though.

About 10 minutes into episode 1 in English and the audio / sound effects are ahead of the picture.
Could this be a curse of using the upgraded video? Not sure if it could be related.
At 7:37 when he fires the gun it's blatantly ahead of the video. Japan audio is perfectly in sync.
Elaniel said:
That's a shame since lip-syncing is one of my pet peeves. They did say the dub audio had to be resynced. Annoying since this really should have been caught in QC. I hope the rest of the episodes aren't like that.[/quote]
Thanks for the trace, someone mentioned on Twitter with no time details really! We did comb this pretty meticulously so off top of head at pre 2AM I'm unsure what the background is. I'll dig into it at start of the week but if it is there it clearly wasn't exceptionally noticeable given we did go through every episode in both languages...
Will check it out and get back to folks - should definitely be nowhere else.
Re DVD menu - not super happy myself nor is the authoring house so we've switched menu designers since then for products via that house. They did Perfect Blue too and you can tell the menu differences!

In fairness, the dub is from the 90s and as pointed out - lip sync isn't great so it can be very very hard to work out so that's likely what happened there. I'd be interested to hear if it's any other episodes as they were checked and gaps in audio fixed etc.
Also we can and have got it right before - you just don't hear people going "MAN, THAT DISC WAS JUST RIGHT!" as much as when there's a problem

They've answered questions which were asking after a haganai license before, but the questions have always mentioned something else as well, which has enabled them to give an answer to that and thus avoid saying anything about haganai. Someone should just ask them straight out, and in a situation like at an expo where they can't just not pick to answer that question as they can on social media sites/podcasts. Even an answer along the lines of 'we can't give any details' would tell us that they haven't ruled it out. And even a 'not interested' style of response would at least give us something definite.

Been trying to find my old US Bandai set to see what the sync is like on that, seems I've stashed it away somewhere and I'm not quite sure where :?
Elaniel said:
No problem - it's good to know though! If the lip flaps aren't noticeable then at least the experience shouldn't be ruined too
. I'll look into it anyway here but sounds like just a combo of very old dub and resyncing to new video being a nightmare. Having watched it all I don't believe it happens anywhere else (as ever I await being told I'm wrong though ;P)!AP
