Fans of anime have recently taken to social media platforms, expressing their concerns and queries regarding Crunchyroll’s apparent reduction in dubbed titles for the year 2024. The absence of dubbed versions for several popular old shows, coupled with delays in the dubbing process for some new releases, has left many puzzled about their strategy.
One recurring question among fans is why the company seems to be less active in pursuing dubbing this year. While some shows, like “One Piece,” continue to receive dubbed episodes regularly, others seem to have been sidelined. This has led to speculation about Crunchyroll’s priorities and whether it is now solely operating based on financial viability, potentially sacrificing the dubbing of certain shows.
Crunchyroll’s dubbing strategy for 2024
In examining the landscape of anime titles for 2024, it becomes evident that several shows that should have received dubs are still lacking them. Among these are notable titles such as “Marginal Service,” “Fire Fighter Daigo,” “Blade Dance of Elementalers,” and “Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai.” Surprisingly, even highly rated and popular shows like “Berserk of Gluttony” have not received dub treatments, prompting fans to question this decision.
The absence of official statements from Crunchyroll regarding the reduction in dubbed titles leaves fans speculating about the reasons behind it. While there has been no confirmation regarding the financial viability or downsizing of dubbing projects, the current portfolio of Crunchyroll suggests a shift in focus.
