K-On! coming to Animax-Asia

K-On! group shot

Good news for K-On! fans in South East Asia! K-On! Season 1 will be premiering on March 16th on Animax-Asia with the English dubs @ 8PM and the original Japanese dubs @ 12MN the same day.

Thoughts: Not totally unexpected…or rather it was pretty much a given, considering the AFA09 Animax dubbing booth allowed people to do K-On! live dubs and our friendly AFA09 organisers got the K-On! seiyūs to come down as well. I will probably use this opportunity to check out the quality of the English dubs.

    I want to see K-ON in the television of USA (CN, nick HBO???)

    MIDNIGHT?? What weird timing. I think I'll wait for someone to licence the series first.

    qwe: Don't think there's any news regarding a US license yet (?)…so any US broadcast will likely take some time…
    Fop: Strictly speaking, it has been licensed locally already since its being shown on Animax….maybe by our good friends @ O**X?

    On a side note, the Animax dubs and the US dubs are supposed to be different (eg: The Keroro Gunso (Sgt. Frog) dubs). So there likely won't be any similarities in terms of voices and scripting at least.

    Yes, you just mentioned the horrible four letter word (O**X). That alone is sufficient deterrent for me to wait for an official US-licensed release instead.

    Well its a lot shorter than saying “The licensor who shall not be named”….

  • Qwe

    QWE: LOL HBO? That's a funny one.

    hahah, Animax dubs usually suck… but from what I've seen, I'll give this a try. Apparently it's meant to be reasonable, like Slam Dunk was. Thanks for the heads up!

    Well, I am not a big fan of dubs myself but all in all it was alright…
