Shit's the same as with the music industry.
They bitch and whine, and yet they're still in business.

If this was Funanimation, I would've thought about it. Bang Zoom? Never heard of them, and they should wonder why people prefer sub than dub. Go QQ more.
Besides, they think that we're the ones to be blamed, the anime industry nowadays don't have much decent ones often going on and the economy's bad all around the world. Scapegoat much?

Bang Zoom Entertainment has fall in sales where they feel it's time to take some measure to get back on top of this. They have decide to issue a 1-year warning that if the whole downloading of free anime cease including fansubs and start buying their product; the C.E.O. says and I quote, " I can guarantee you that this time next year, Bang Zoom won’t be bringing you anymore English language versions of it." In short terms, the company planning to shut down everything they do if they don't get their way. All of this sound like the whole "music industry vs. file sharing" case, so will they success where the music industries give up at? Not to worried about mr. doomsayer from bang zoom over here, Anime is going to be in the states for the long run. Companies are going to go under and disappear it happens even in successful franchises.

Bosch along is not enough to make a show great even if he is excellent. But I do love the games that he dubs in.

No dubbing of anime would be fantastic, many ears would be saved.
I don't even like the current market for anime anyway so this does not real cause any emotion. All the good anime is already on blu ray in Japan (and torrented to my computer) yet they don't release the blu ray here in America, like hell I am going to pay for a lesser quality version of the series.

>_< why is it im the ONLY one here who seems to like dubbs?Well I prefer some dubs over alot of anime but for me the dubs have to be decent,
Negima had some good dubs (Except for couple characters) Shuffle was not that bad
But there is one bad dub that I will mention.
-Bible Black (This one was the worst I ever heard I could not fap to imari when she sounds like a 60 yearold woman).

Don't get me wrong some dubs are great. (I think Johnny Yong Bosch is a great fucking voice actor.Ichigo, Vash, Lelouch, Emil, P4 MC, Adachi, Kiba, Renton, Nero, and Kaneda are just some of the voices he's done.) All I'm saying is if they decide to stop doing it then oh well. I can live without listening to anime in English.
Johnny is a asshat. i fucking thing code geass dubbed was one of the worst dubs ive heard on an anime on [as]. Mainly the fact that he did lelouch and that ppl overhype him when he sounds the same in everything he does is beyond me. Besides most of the cosplayers i know seem to love dubs whereas i honestly despise most of them.

I would support them if they did consistantly decent dubs. I shouldn't have to say "Gee, I hope/wonder if the dubs are going to be good for [XX anime]". I should just know the voices are going to be good. If Shuffle - a series not even very popular - can have awesome dubbing, I don't know why other shows can't.
It isn't only because we can watch them free. I can torrent movies and tv shows, but DVDs and Blu-Rays seem to still sell in stores or online. They don't have fan support because people don't like the sound of 40+ year old ladies doing the voices of school girls.

*Just bought the complete collection of Lucky Star, which is DUBBED, and told the wrong person. So I know from experience.*

A language change and subtitle options fixed that, but still. Don't be scared, dubbers. Characters still need to SOUND their age, and you WON'T get in trouble over it, even if it IS hentai.

I thought the story of little monica was loli for the longest time when I first bought the dvd but I guess not. But still the worst Hentai english dub that I have ever heard was Josephine Clemens doing the voice of Imari in Bible black it was so bad I could not even fap to the sex scene with her and minase she sounds way older than a highschool student and even older than a 40 yearold, She sounds more like a 60 yearold.

She sounds more like a 60 yearold.I think that's why they give us the Japanese w/Subtitles option, because they know how awful some of the voice acting is.
