They have the dub actors, they've dubbed Unicorn at the same time, and Toonami aired Space Dandy dubbed at the same time it aired in Japan, so there's no reason CN couldn't air Season 2 now. The days for a dub to not be completed at the same time as the Japanese language track are over. There is no excuse to not do it.
You say there's no reason for things to be simuldubbed, but licensing issues are still a thing. I assume it's what took so damn long for official Dragon Ball Super subs to come out. Re 0096 just reused the OVA dub with some episode previews narrated by Full Frontal's VA. Daisuki actually had the dub premiere at the same time as the sub since almost all of the VA work was already done. Last edited by Powerman293; 11-30-2016 at 01:29 AM.. |

So there's some rumors going around that the series director for Gundam the Origin got fired over an incident where he showed up to an executive screening of the Origin 4 drunk. His name isn't in the credits of Origin 4, so that gives predence to something. Plus, it's also rumored they are not gonna try to find a replacement for him as series director, placing more pressure on everyone else.
Hopefully the Loum Arc doesn't suffer because of this. |

I actually kinda agree with Kain, dubbing isn't as time-consuming as making an actual show. There's no reason season 1 of IBO can't be weekly, though I don't blame them for not airing season 2 right away, it's weird that season 1 dubbed still hasn't finished airing.
Then again, the dub isn't especially great, especially with it's unintentional scrubbing of minor themes and plot points. (as well as totally missing the point of Mikazuki's personality, making him sound like just a normal guy) Oh, and even though I watched it last Sunday I forgot to comment on the most recent ep. Once again it's the build up for the next ep, but Vidar is cool. Also, McGillis and his "wife" is now full-on red flag creepy. Granted, we know he's just using her, but still... I get the feeling there's people of questionable interests at work on this show sometimes... |

The dub sounds fine to me. Maybe it's because you're use to the Japanese voices while I've only watched it in English?

I mean it's not bad, but Mika's voice actor gives him too much personality. He's too human, not as detached and socially nonfunctional as the character's meant to be. It's especially kinda weird when Mika emotionally shuts down completely and goes psycho, yet he's still talking like a normal guy. It's a small thing, but considering how he's progressing in season 2, it's going to be weird if they don't catch on to it.
Everything else performance-wise is give or take save for some changes in dialogue. Minor spoilers: Like when in episode 23 Ms. Merribit is upset at the Tekkadan children watching Mika's fight because she doesn't want them to turn out to be as heartless and sociopathic by watching something so brutal. (since they kinda are) In the dub, she's just concerned about their safety because there's a fight nearby, and the moral implications aren't brought up. (it also makes it look like she's just a really fussy mother and not the lone voice of reason in the sociopathic echo chamber of Tekkadan) This kinda undercuts her whole subplot of wanting to preserve the children's innocence as much as she can, despite them not wanting to be saved because of a misplaced sense of honour to their dead comrades. Which is gonna be really weird in the next ep when she actually fucking breaks down over that, since it's gonna come out of nowhere. I'm really looking forward to seeing the last episode dubbed because of how emotional one fight is. I actually like some of the voices quite a bit, like Gaelio's and Carta's. (especially since Carta annoyed me so much in the original) In fact, I'd say every voice is just as good or at least easily acceptable except Mika and Orga. Mika because of the aformentioned misunderstanding of his personality, and Orga because he, like Mika, just sounds too normal. His voice is too high pitched, his vocal mannerisms too casual. He doesn't sound quite like the bold leader he is. But that's just me. I'm not really a snob when it comes to dubs, as I watched Unicorn in Japanese first, but vastly prefer the English dub in every way. Ditto with G Gundam.

Honestly, since CN is not going to be airing IBO Season 2 right away, I might just start watching the show in Japanese on Crunchyroll so I can catch up to whereever they are at when I get there. On the other hand, I might want to wait until they are nearing the end of season 2 so I can watch the whole thing in a short time span.
Speaking of which, I really need to watch Victory. My BDs are just collecting dust right now. |

I don't know if the source in this link is official, but if it is, it seems like something you'd like to know Kain

Got some pics here of the Gundam Deathscythe I built today.
Didnt do much in the way of sanding or painting and the like but I did take a pencil and a cotton swab over all the white to try and give it a sort of weathered look......looks better in hand
