License and Dub more anime

[LAMV]

I find it unusual. Before 2008, I noticed that 95% of anime licensed were dubbed. ADV Films, Funimation, and Geneon USA dubbed all anime titles that were aquired, and all of a sudden come 2009 and beyond, and only 25-30% of anime these days are dubbed.

Yeah, and you know what happened? ADV and Geneon USA both went out of business. And Funimation was struggling so much that their parent company sold them at a huge loss.

Also, there was kind of that whole economic recession thing that happened in 2008, too.

But, you're absolutely right, it's very unusual that companies are no longer dubbing niche anime with low profit margins!

What he said was truth though. Many people seem to think these companies just SWIM in money and can afford it all, and they also tend to forget that these are still tough times, as we go through a period of recovery.

There wasn't really any need to revive this or jump on each other about it.
