I asked Sentai while Akame ga Kill was still airing if they were gonna dub it, their reaction: "I would be surpised if it wasnt". So how big is the chance it will be a dubbed airing this summer? Pretty high i assume. I dont know alot about adult swim, I cant watch it here in Holland/Netherlands, however from what ive seen each anime they had was dubbed.

heck I've heard some people saying they Want K-ON on the lineup,and I said really? I don't think a girly show should fit on a action block. It's better if Disney gets K-ON.
How is K-On a girly show? It's seinen.
