In a Good Friday announcement, Australian anime publisher Madman Entertainment have reaffirmed their long-standing commitment to the Haruhi anime adaptations in Australia and New Zealand.
With the anime to shortly begin airing in Japan, they have confirmed that episodes of The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan will be simulcast via their AnimeLab video on demand service. At this time, it is currently unknown how long after first airing in Japan that the episodes will be available, but expect to hear more specifics shortly.
Those looking to watch the show in North America should turn to Funimation Entertainment, who have acquired the rights in this region.
In an alternate universe, shy, awkward Yuki Nagato attempts to court her crush, Kyon, with the help of her best friend and neighbor, the perky and indomitable Ryoko Asakura. Together, the trio defends their high school literature club from extermination…and from the pestering of their over-the-top classmate Tsuruya and her friend and minion Mikuru. No true Haruhi devotee should miss The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan.
– Official US Synopsis
Personally, I am interested in seeing what route Funimation will take when it eventually comes down to dubbing the anime into English. Will they opt to retain the original “Bandai Entertainment” voice cast (Including Crispin Freeman, Michelle Ruff, Wendee Lee and Johnny Yong Bosch) or opt to commission a new dub cast? Time will tell…
iam certainly tuning in!!
Now the question is, when will we be able to watch it
