Say what you will of my &#8220;elitism,&#8221; as I don&#8217;t mind the absence of an English dub in the least, but I&#8217;m surprised that this particular show isn&#8217;t getting a bilingual release. The early 2009 series didn&#8217;t quite become the breakout smash hit that Sunrise probably hoped it would be. But the show is quite good and did develop a devoted fan following. This is a show which, it seems to me, would definitely attract a bigger audience with an English dub. So I wonder why it isn&#8217;t getting a dub. Are there bizarre objections to an English dub from the Japanese master licensor? Does Bandai believe the show doesn&#8217;t have the audience or sales potential to warrant the extra investment? Can Bandai simply not afford to dub the show? This does seem to be a budget-conscious release since consumers will be getting a single 175 minute DVD (presumably 7 episodes) for a $29.98 SRP. At least subtitle fans, like me, will get to enjoy our soaring cake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m quite surprised to learn that Bandai&#8217;s April 26 release of The Girl Who Leapt Through Space volume 1 DVD will be subtitled only.
