RETRACTION: No English Zetsubou Dub

At least for now.


 Apparently not!... at least for now.
 Apparently not!... at least for now.
Yesterday I reported that Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei would be given an English dub, only to find that reports varied on the matter. There were also some discrepancies on the price. So I got in touch with a Media Blasters rep and was told that at least as far as he knew, it would be a sub-only release, and the price would be $24.99. Additionally the release is six episodes, not five, which makes way more sense since that's exactly half the season.

Sorry if we unintentionally got anyone's hopes up on the dub, though from the comments it sounded like most of you were excited for the release without it (as are we!).

Thanks to omo for pointing out the discrepancy so that I checked it out, and again, our apologies for the error!

thanks god, the jokes barely pan over to begin with, theres no need to try and change them like they would if they dub it.  Sub only releases are the best

Ok, what is going on with this news? Well at least things are cleared up. Looking forward to the release.

Time to bring out that old bag of tostitos I was saving

Sad, but really, did anyone "actually" think it was happening/possible.

*shrugs* 
 I was going to watch it subbed anyway.
