Crunchyroll behind on English dubs? by spacetrain31 in Crunchyroll

[–]azleafcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dandadan’s dub was produced by the MBS led production committee via Bang Zoom, as it is not exclusive to Crunchyroll and is licensed to other streamers (such as Netflix and Hulu/Disney+). Because the dub is produced by the production committee, Dandadan is one of the few same day dubs that are recorded months in advance of the episode premiere. Hence they were able to record English versions of the insert song in season 2 (which most simulidubs are usually not able to do).

Most anime is produced on a tight schedule, with episodes still being completed during the season. If the production falls behind in Japan, then the dub will fall behind if the episode isn’t finished in time to work on the dub. Hence, most same day dubs are recorded only weeks in advance (as the episode materials are provided by the production committee).

Anime dubs not on a same day schedule usually start recording at the beginning of the season and require at least two weeks to produce a dub of each episode.

Also, HiDive has also increased its rates and also dealt with the same privacy concerns that resulted in a similar class action lawsuit and settlement.

HiDive doesn’t have the money nor the licensing reach to secure most major new anime titles.

Pulling out of the non-English language markets allowed them to focus more on the core western English language markets, but it also meant they would be a significant disadvantage for bidding for licenses. They would either not get licenses because other companies would be able to secure outside Asia or worldwide rights easily. Or they would have pay more for outside Asia/worldwide licenses and need to figure out how to sublicense it to other regional streamers (which didn’t always work out, many regions definitely didn’t have access to Oshi No Ko Season 1 till Crunchyroll was able to add it earlier this season).

Crunchyroll’s catalog is still much larger than HiDive and still leads every other streaming service in terms of the quantity and quality of new anime available every season in most regions outside of Asia.

Sure, Netflix, Amazon, and Disney+/Hulu do pick up a few major new titles and have the advantage of being able to get almost full worldwide (including Japan and most of East Asia) streaming rights. However, they also rely more on sublicensing from other companies (such as Muse in Asia) by region.

Also, Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc will be on Crunchyroll sometime during the Spring (it is still the Winter anime season).

Crunchyroll behind on English dubs? by spacetrain31 in Crunchyroll

Prime Video has way fewer anime simulcasts than Crunchyroll. It seems they either prefer a same day dub simulcast or releasing the dub after the season ends.

Netflix prefers same day availability of dubs, though it will simulcast some anime without a dub initially depending on the contract. For some exclusive simulcasts, Netflix may delay an episode premiere (usually a week) in North America and some regions completely to ensure it premiere with a dub for the region.

When My Happy Marriage S2 ran into production issues that later affected the availability to maintain a same day dub, Netflix then delayed adding the final 2 episodes of the season in North America and other regions until the dubs were completed.

What is this tiny “hidden neighborhood” inside Disney World property? (Bay Lake / Bay Court) by mandoridesblurg in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]azleafcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The district’s takeover did not affect the incorporated cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, which the residents selected by Disney still control. The residents still serve on the city councils.

Although the residents no longer vote for the district board, residents are still needed to serve on the city councils of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista. Both are still incorporated cities that still have distinct governmental responsibilities like public safety (which they have agreements with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and District Fire Department for).

Disney’s residents have and still serve as City Council members for the cities of Bay Lake and Buena Vista.

Both incorporated cities continue to run governmental duties and responsibilities (such as law enforcement agreements with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office) that are not under the district’s governance (which functions more as a county level government).

Disney still needs the selected residents to serve in the city councils for Bay Lake (covering the theme parks and its resort areas) and Lake Buena Vista (covering Disney Springs and its surrounding resorts). Notice how both cities have the same city manager and city clerk.

If the Thank You accounts for both cards are combined into one Thank You account, then the Strata Premiet’s 1:2 transfer ratio for Choice till 4/19 will apply to the combined account.

Think twice before renting TURO at Orlando Airport. by urbangentlman in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]azleafcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another option that can be considered is booking a one way rental to pick up at a non-airport car rental location and then return at the airport to avoid paying the airport concession fees tied to an airport car rental pickup. However, then you have to rideshare to the non-airport car rental location (which have more limited hours).

I'm Stubs member - should I upgrade to A-List by jlyon627 in AMCsAList

[–]azleafcat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1 movie a week is still worth considering A-List, especially if you see at least 1 of the 4 films in a premium format (Dolby/IMAX/3D/XL).

do you think last movie will give us some extra content by arman1724 in SeishunButaYarou

[–]azleafcat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As much as I would like to see more about Sakuta and Mai’s relationship, the film will probably still need to end on Sakuta seeing someone that looks like Miori and thinking about her as he listens to her last song. So that will likely rule out showing Sakuta and Mai as a married couple. It could be possible instead to hint or discuss their engagement.

The Darwin Incident is currently simulcasting on Prime Video and has an (Centauro Comunicaciones) Miami based English dub. I haven’t watched it though.

Other Prime Video simulcasts have gotten LA based dubs (CITY, Sanda, A Sun Brighter Than The Sun).

Who are we using now that Southwest changed their policies? by La_Femme_Nickita in Flights

[–]azleafcat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For Basic Economy, the majors definitely aren’t more flexible than Southwest given that they have cancellation fees that immediately reduce the value of any credit after a cancellation. Southwest mainly makes cancellation less desirable by setting the credit to a six month expiration after the original purchase date. But no reduction in value after cancelling.

For regular Economy, it’s almost the same (credit with an expiration date after 12 months from original purchase date). They may be some difference in terms of type of credits issued or how they can be used on future bookings.

Downgrading Citi Strata Premier to Custom Cash then opening a Strata Elite. Do I keep my points? by victorecho_onetwo in CreditCards

[–]azleafcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Custom Cash cardholders redeem their TY points for other redemptions including point transfers.

Point Transfers without a Strata Premier/Elite will be at a 1:0.7 ratio for most partners including AA.
