Dubs Come To Sentai Filmworks

Sentai Filmworks is pleased to announce that the hit series Clannad will be receiving an English dub.  Originally released in a subtitled only format, Clannad is receiving the dub as part of an agreement in which several affiliated groups have come together to create English language versions for five of Sentai’s most popular titles.

 
In addition to the 24 episode Clannad, the four other series that have been selected for this limited program are:  the science fiction drama Blue Drop (13 episodes,) the psychological thriller Ghost Hound (22 episodes,) Legends of the Dark King ~ A Fist of the North Star Story (13 episodes) and the 26 episode historical fantasy Tears to Tiara.  English dub production duties for all five series will be handled by Seraphim Digital under the auspices of a team of veteran ADR directors such as Steven Foster, who will oversee the English dub for Clannad.
 
In appreciation of those who supported the subtitled only release of these shows, Sentai Filmworks is developing an “Upgrade” program which will allow owners of the subtitled versions to upgrade their DVD’s for the new release containing the English dub.  The shows will also be available both through broadcast, streaming and retail outlets over the coming months.  Further details will be announced as they are available.

Best news I've heard in a while, I think I actuall like Sentai films now. Will pre-order them as soon as possible, especially Clannad! Very happy :D

Now, It is Nozomi Entertainment's turn to english dub all ARIA seasons and two other new titles.. like rental magica and junjo romantica..

Holy crap this is awesome. The only problem I see, is if they don't dub Clannad After Story. It would be pretty lame to do only half the series.

That said, Sentai has just earned themselves my cash.

It's obvious that I really can't say anything here without making insults towards the animu otaku-base.

I guess it's true.  The daylight savings time does screw people up.

as picky as i am about my anime titles without a dub make the decisons even harder. I honestly hope sentai keeps going with this. Hopefully they will add dubs to all of there other titles. I do like the occasional anime without a dub. I got a kick out of To love ru and Kashimashi.These are titles without english dubs.

Kashimashi is a MB property though.

Yay for all 5 series, I've always wanted to watch them =D.

I think a dub for Clannad ~After Story~ will depend on how well the dubbed Clannad sells. If Clannad dubbed sells well I can see them going back to dub ~After Story~.

This also gives me hope now that Hell Girl 2 could see a dub after all. I think that if the sub only sets sell well as these five then they could go back to dub Hell Girl 2. But I am still happy I can get Hell Girl 2 in the States dub or no dub.
