When I first saw this story, I was happy. Finally, a date for Arrietty in the US! Then I saw the year.
Oh.
We'll have to wait a full year until we get our Will Arnett and Amy Poehler dub in theaters, on February 17th, 2012. Color me disappointed. The delay from Ponyo's Japanese release to its American one was one year. I had been hoping for an August release, just like the past two Ghibli films. Why the extra time here? Probably just Disney padding out its release schedule as it pleases (and the Deadline report seems to indicate as much).
This is especially saddening to me considering the film is already out in theaters in France. Here I was hoping we'd get a summer release, but alas, it is not to be (unless Disney decides to meddle with their schedule again and move it up... oh, if only). So, who's ready for this long, agonizing wait?
I've included a trailer for it after the jump, but it won't make the hurting go away.
2012? Are you kidding me?? This has been released half a year ago already; is is that hard to make some crappy dub and release it here? (look at Gantz; I can give the thumbs up for at least an almost simultaneous release with Japan despite its dub)
Well, I imagine it takes time to make a GOOD dub. That's probably why the Gantz dub was so bad, that and they didn't use any of the usual anime English VAs.
About the dub's, In France, the release version was dubbed, and we haven't found any theater where it was subbed only. Still, the dubbing was quite good, made by the classical dubbing company in France, let's say equal than for any other Disney movies.
It should not take longer to do a proper English dubbing than it took for us ...

You might of heard that there is a new streaming site that has just launched out of Japan. It is being backed by some big names in the anime world like Aniplex, Sunrise, and Toei.
What could that exactly mean for you, you ask? Well, let me let Eri Maruyama (International Business Development) at DAISUKI answer that as well as many more burning questions that I had about the new service.
When I watched Blood C in Summer of 2011, I thought it was a show that had a lot of promise. It started out with the distinct feeling that something wasn't right in an idyllic town that was being pressed upon by nightmarish b...
