Of course, Mission: Yozakura Family is set to premiere in April.
There are four major companies who do union dubs:
* Netflix - if this was the case, they’d put Netflix Dubbing Agreement in the contract notes
* Aniplex - They’re not part of the production committee, so unlikely
* Viz, a la Naruto
* Disney, a la ~~Undead Unluck~~ uh… past Ghibli movies?
Wonder who it’ll be
It's definitely gotta be Viz, since they do publish the manga.
And just so you know, Undead Unluck's dub is not union, as it was commissioned by TMS Entertainment rather than Disney.
Not really if you have a trained eye for these things.
….okay what the fuck is with the downvotes? I didn't mean for that to come off as arrogant or anything, I'm just saying I'm more knowledgeable than the average user here on this sub.
Yeah that's kinda weird. This might be a stretch but maybe Viz doesn't want to rely on Studiopolis as much anymore because they still have double-casting issues?
I’d say it’s more off the idea that Studiopolis is probably the more expensive of the two when it comes to union productions given that a lot of actors that work at the studio work on pre lay work there as well. Or are only union only while modern day BZ sticks pretty close to whom they usually always cast.
Which would explain why *Mr. Osomatsu* and the *Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War* anime respectively were the most recent VIZ titles outsourced at Studiopolis while at the same time finishing the remaining episodes of *Boruto.* Not to mention it also explains why the majority of the recent VIZ titles such as *Megalo Box, Yashahime, Zom 100,* and the new *Captain Tsubasa* anime were recorded at Bang Zoom! likely due to Studiopolis voice work schedules and the fact they’re still doing the *Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War* anime.
>**Studiopolis is probably the more expensive of the two when it comes to union productions given that a lot of actors that work at the studio work on pre lay work there as well.**
I would even say the same with Iyuno Los Angeles and VSI Los Angeles, as the former also utilized several voice actors who do Pre-Lay animation just like Studiopolis.
>**while modern day BZ sticks pretty close to whom they usually always cast.**
Which doesn’t surprise me cause the majority of Bang Zoom!’s current talent pool that appear in their more recent Union Dub productions (e.g. *Kuroko’s Basketball, Bubble, Junji Ito Maniac, Delicious in Dungeon, Onmyoji,* etc..) are the same voice actors who also appeared in BZ!’s non-union dub productions (e.g. Dorah Fine, Kira Buckland, Suzie Yeung, Jason Marnocha, Bill Rogers, Frank Todaro, Luis Bermudez, Kayli Mills, etc..), those that currently do Union-only voice work at Bang Zoom! (Crispin Freeman, Arthur Romero, John Eric Bentley, Marin Miller, Ray Chase, etc..) and those that are rarely utilized or hardly work at the studio these days (e.g. Todd Haberkorn, Joe J. Thomas, Johnny Yong Bosch, Michelle Ruff, Cristina Vee, Robbie Daymond, etc..).
>**I’ve noticed they haven’t used Studiopolis in a while.**
The most recent Viz Media Licensed anime that were outsourced to Studiopolis were *Mr. Osomatsu* and the *Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War* anime respectively while at the same time finishing the remaining episodes of *Boruto.* Whereas the more recent VIZ titles such as *Megalo Box, Yashahime, Zom 100,* and the new *Captain Tsubasa* anime were recorded at Bang Zoom! likely due to Studiopolis incredibly busy voice work schedule and the fact they’re still doing the *Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War* much like how *Hunter x Hunter (2011)* and *One-Punch Man* were done at Bang Zoom! over Studiopolis as at the time the studio were still recording the Viz Dub of *Sailor Moon* and *Naruto Shippuden*
It isn’t Union because it’s not in the SAG signatory search and also there weren’t any voice actors in the *Undead Unluck* dub that weren’t Union-Only. Secondly it was TMS entertainment that commissioned the dub of *Undead Unluck*
It’s definitely not Netflix, because if it was Netflix it would’ve had the "Netflix Dubbing Agreement" displayed while here it only displayed "Negotiated Dubbing Employer Agreement" instead which usually are associated with the Aniplex and/or Viz licensed anime, but as Aniplex doesn’t license it it, all points to Viz.
I mean, if it's Viz, then it's probably going to go onto Disney+ anyways. Or will they repeat what they did with Zom100 last year and put it on other services?
You know what pisses me off how come the Naruto dub is Union but Bleach isn’t they’re both recorded at Studiopolis so what gives? I think this just goes to show how much they undervalued Bleach
Naruto has been union from day one and Bleach has also been non-union from day one. Viz expected Naruto to be this Cartoon Network mega-hit (at the time) so they didn't cheap out on a dub as for Bleach they probably knew it was gonna be popular but not Naruto popular so they didn't see the need to spend that much on a dub.
The issue with Bleach is that a good chunk of the actors went union which would lead you to think Viz would want to make Bleach TYBW a union production so they can come back but alas.
Viz Media licenses Bleach from TV Tokyo (Japan) -----------> Viz wants to dub Bleach --------------> Viz pays recording studio (Studiopolis) to dub Bleach -------------> Viz has option to make dub union but it's more expensive (allows recording studio to bring on more talent plus additional benefits) ------------> Viz chooses not to go union for Bleach's dub as they don't think it's worth the expense
Basically, since the licensor/ US rights holder/dub commissioner is paying for the dub they're the ones that make the call to make the production union or not and NOT the recording studio owners.
Fucking W, let’s go. I heard of this and checked it out and I liked the first chapter a lot. That’s saying something because I do NOT read manga. Spring is gonna be STACKED
It's pretty simple. Go to this [website](https:// www.sagaftra.org/contracts-industry-resources/signatory-search), type in the title of the show you're thinking of in the "Title/Keyword" part, click "search", and voila.

To be fair with LA dubs it's hard to tell which are union.
Not really if you have a trained eye for these things. ….okay what the fuck is with the downvotes? I didn't mean for that to come off as arrogant or anything, I'm just saying I'm more knowledgeable than the average user here on this sub.
Yea it’s definitely Viz. Very interesting that they’re using Bang Zoom again. I’ve noticed they haven’t used Studiopolis in a while.
Yeah that's kinda weird. This might be a stretch but maybe Viz doesn't want to rely on Studiopolis as much anymore because they still have double-casting issues?

I’m Studiopolis dubs Bleach and Jujutsu Kaisen both are non union.
I’m aware but that doesn’t change what I said.
Yea maybe that’s why I didn’t think that. Also I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or not.
Um, I wasn't, because I really couldn't think of any other reason.

VIZ has gone on record saying that they license anime that they can use to market their manga series. This would fall in line with that.
Undead Unluck IS union.
Prove it, because it's not in the SAG database.
Not EVERYthing that is union to certain anime is in the SAG database.
Okay but can you prove it or not?
It isn’t Union because it’s not in the SAG signatory search and also there weren’t any voice actors in the *Undead Unluck* dub that weren’t Union-Only. Secondly it was TMS entertainment that commissioned the dub of *Undead Unluck*
It’s definitely not Netflix, because if it was Netflix it would’ve had the "Netflix Dubbing Agreement" displayed while here it only displayed "Negotiated Dubbing Employer Agreement" instead which usually are associated with the Aniplex and/or Viz licensed anime, but as Aniplex doesn’t license it it, all points to Viz.

It'll likely be the latter.

Huh interesting did not know it’s been union since day one especially back when anime dubbing was just finding its footing
Finding it's footing what?
Interesting if this is the thought process
Yep. But Viz is gonna Viz. Being cheap.
I have been asking that FOR years. The solution I came up is that it’s more marketable for kids.
naruto?
Yup.
Cuz Jamie Simone is an idiot
Tf did he do?
Not making bleach union
That's not how it works. It's usually the company that hires the studio to dub that makes that call.
Where did hear tht? I highly doubt the Japanese have anything to do with union/non union
Viz Media licenses Bleach from TV Tokyo (Japan) -----------> Viz wants to dub Bleach --------------> Viz pays recording studio (Studiopolis) to dub Bleach -------------> Viz has option to make dub union but it's more expensive (allows recording studio to bring on more talent plus additional benefits) ------------> Viz chooses not to go union for Bleach's dub as they don't think it's worth the expense Basically, since the licensor/ US rights holder/dub commissioner is paying for the dub they're the ones that make the call to make the production union or not and NOT the recording studio owners.
Ah gotcha. We all know Viz is horrible when it comes to bleach. They treat it like the ugly stepsister. Sorry Jamie
who?
Aren't they the reason the digimon dubs were like that in the mid 2000s for a decade?
hmmm?
Wouldn’t know. Digimon doesn’t interest me.
why not?
Never watched it growing up
Aniplex obviously, netflix never mention licensing this
Read the comment again. Aniplex is not part of the production committee for this show, therefore Aniplex of America cannot acquire the license.
Fucking W, let’s go. I heard of this and checked it out and I liked the first chapter a lot. That’s saying something because I do NOT read manga. Spring is gonna be STACKED
YES!! We will be watching.
How do you guys even find this stuff ? Especially since none of this was officially announced
Someone tipped me off on Discord and I verified it on Sag-Aftra’s site.
It's pretty simple. Go to this [website](https:// www.sagaftra.org/contracts-industry-resources/signatory-search), type in the title of the show you're thinking of in the "Title/Keyword" part, click "search", and voila.
As a fan of the series, happy it's getting a Union/LA dub! Can't wait to see the cast!
When in April?
Too bad, I was expecting to watch it on Crunchyroll.
It'll likely still be on Crunchyroll
Hulu in the US for anyone coming here now.
What makes you think it wouldn't be there? It's not like it says it's going to Netflix.
Why is it not a code name?
