Is there going to be a simuldub , or even a dub ? I have not watched this anime or 2008 version but desperately want to and i enjoy romantic animes more in English language even sometimes when the dub isn't that good as well . So i just want to know

It is expected that JMichael Tatum and Brina Palencia will reprise their roles for the remake as they are currently narrating the ongoing English audiobooks, and let me tell you that when you hear Brina as Holo The Wise Wolf you will be totally immersed in this show, the original is one of the best dubs ever made. JMichael is also awesome as Lawrence, in general his performance is a bit softer than the Japanese VA which works better for me, I don't really like it when the Japanese VA for Lawrence sounds commanding all the time. I also think the Japanese VA for Holo does not sound as mature as Brina, and a wise wolf god should sound mature.

Honestly if these VA don't return I might have to drop the show :( it sounds extreme but in current form the characters are not the ones I love. I am really hoping for an announcement on Friday.

Not to disrespect Jun Fukuyama as I do love him as Lelouch, but the issue is whenever he's voicing a different character, all I hear is that again lol

@Greenness funny because I watched spice and Wolf before code Geass for me Jun Fukuyama is only Yuuta Togashi as it was the most recognizable role I remember from him at that time. Also Naoto Takayama those two roles are what I heard most when I hear him.

I am pretty sad today, I thought this would have been announced months ago, but here we are 2 weeks after the first episode air and not only is there no timeline for the dub, we don't even know if Brina and JMichael are doing it.

To be honest I would just love to know it was happening even it was going to be a long wait. It was fun to watch Episode 1 even in Japanese because it was interesting to see changes/ new animation style, but episode 2 did not interest me because I want to hear Brina and JMIchael now.

If or when there is a dub, I hope they don't change her name to "Horo" again. Her name is "Holo" not "Horo."

In the original I was a bit put off by Holo in the dub, but JMT is a legend, so I'll definitely give this a try.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

For the official news from Crunchyroll
https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/announcements/2024/4/15/spice-and-wolf-merchant-meets-the-wise-wolf-anime-english-dub-cast-crew-release-date

I guess it'll start releasing every Monday.
The first episode is already available in English.

I'm so happy because I personally prefer the English Holo. Her voice fits Holo's demeanor so much better. The original sounds too cute and childish.

Just finished watching and damn the episode felt 10x more magical on this watch, I am sure the Japanese VAs are great too but as an English speaker I just get so much more out of this hearing Brina and J.Michael, the world really comes alive!!

Very happy and Monday is now my favourite day!

I doublechecked, and there's just something off about Holo in the original, but both of them seem to have aged like fine wine in the remake.

please, the person is asking if there will be a dub or not. this isn’t a time to give your opinion about how sub is better. They both do a great job and i just finished the episode in dub and the performance was very enjoyable. definitely worth the wait!
