If it's on Netflix, it's getting a dub like The Seven Deadly Sins, right?

The anime is available with English, Japanese, French, German, and Spanish.


I know it's dubbed in English, but are these the subtitle options? Or are there 5 audio options?

It said "with" before those languages, so I'm assuming those are subtitle options (it never really says; likely a typo). I'll have to check myself.

These are all audio (dub) options believe it or not. Props to Netflix for investing so much in localizations. Dubbing in all these languages couldn't have been cheap, but then again, Netflix does have deep pockets.

It's not a typo. Netflix wants their shows to reach as wide an audience as possible, so they've dubbed it in several different languages.

Those are the audio options. Those plus Italian are the sub options. And yea, it's amazing they dubbed it in 5 languages.

Putting the whole show, dubbed in multiple languages, just over 3 months after it started airing, and just less than a week after it finished (I think). That's ASTONISHING. They definitely pulled out all the stops for this one, so I hope it does well.

This makes me wonder if they'll give Kuromukuro the same treatment in three months once that show finishes.

I'm pretty sure they will. They did the same thing with Sidonia(though with fewer languages). This isn't a particularly special case, it's par for the course with "Netflix Originals".

I'm curious whether or not they got the license for the movies as well.

Sweet! It's dubbed!

Cast is also coming up. According to this site, Bryce and Johnny are the leads (why am I not surprised?).

It's incredible what Netflix does with its series, although it takes a lot of time to be uploaded. But an English and Spanish dub at the same time is just amazing. Very Happy

Damn Netflix is really leaving it's mark on the Anime industry which definitely proves that their taking Anime seriously I can only hope that Amazon does the same but then again I really don't have much faith in Amazon. Confused

The problem is, they don't bother doing anything for or with the home video release. For example, while Netflix premiered the broadcast version, every single episode of Sidonia was changed and last episode extended by ~15mins for its home video version and its up to the licensee for that region, such as Sentai, to redub them as far as I know.

The marketing label for "originals" just mean exclusive streaming license, as opposed actually owning the rights.

Awesome.

I want to know how it will sound in Spanish, and if it sounds good enough, I'll be getting my own subscription just to watch this thing again <3

Appreciate Netflix giving multiple language dubs. Shows they want to expand their audience as much as they can.
