Lupin Vs Conan Via Funimation along with the OVA's, and Movi

[Walbuls]

As for the poll, i'd like Bandai. I love there previous works such as Ghost in the Shell

How come Viz doesn't want to take the series D: ? They do the English manga..

Nice post Tantei, thanks for the info - I knew it was a pipedream to wait for that illusive season 6, and to think back when I started the dubbed series, I said "I'll just wait until they release season 6 and pick the series back up".

Looking forward to when their license runs out, things should be quite interesting, DC on Crunchyroll...I can kind of see this happening

well Funimation said that they would never consider a simulcast for conan because they only pick up shows for simulcast when they start, one piece is the only one they would do that for because TOEI recommended it, and the show has been printing money for them. I could see conan on the crunchyroll library because it would be a odd fit for it, but I could see TMS being idiots and demanding way to much money for the series. anyway stock up on the VC sets now while they are still being made, you might want a back up copy as well just in case.
VIZ might not want the anime because it would be sub only and I am not sure if VIZ does sub only releases yet for anime. also they might not want to deal with TMS since I can not think of a TMS series that they have. they might be interested in it, however NIS, Rightstuf/Nazomi, and S23 where the ones specifically mentioned supposedly. so yes JD was right no season six dub. however our dub did get rather far into the TV count mostly VIA dvd sales and funimation licensing it for 5 seasons, and 6 movies. lets hope we can get up to movie 13 in the Dub. also now might be a good time to make a welcome to fansubs torrent for the dub fans who will just be starting to watch the fan subs of conan (probably about 50 episodes worth of good subs). lets hope someone gets the rights to seasons 6 and up of detective conan soon. 
Also vote on the new poll about who you would like to see do a Subbed only release of the Conan TV series.

Why do you think we should stockup on the VC dvd sets?  Do you believe that Funi will all in all cease any type of production of the Case Closed franchise?

I voted for Viz, simply because IMO I believe they are probably the most popular here in the states, and DC really needs to shine in America in order to be successful, so why not piggyride with the guys who have Bleach, DN,  Naruto, FMA, and other big name series?

Except with Bandai, we'd get half-cour releases at more than full-cour prices.  This is despite being sub only.  See: Hayate the Combat Butler.

Once their license runs out, yes they will cease all production of it.

Viz only has Bleach, Naruto, Death Note, and Pokemon.  Funimation has Fullmetal Alchemist.  Manga and anime licenses aren't the same.

They have Pokemon?!  I thought that was still 4Kids, lol, and oops my bad, I thought FMA anime was Viz.  Don't they have One Piece as well

4Kids is as good as dead.  And Funimation has One Piece.

What are you talking about Willys?? xD ... I think that as I have no idea what are all those names that appear at the Poll I should vote "I live outside R1 Territory"

[tantei okuoku]

I would hate for bandai to get due to what they have done with hayate the combat buttler's release schedule.
I would love for NIS to get the series and get all sorts of cool (hopefully) conan collectibles  however I think my wallet would then hate for a long time. I voted for Nazumi/rightstuff since I know we would get half season sets for a semi-reasonable price and they would be done correctly even if they would nothing special.

[Mead]

I voted Bandai, but Viz would be good as well, Having both the manga and series could lead to them taking over the dub kinda like how Funi did from 4kids on One Piece.

NIS, really any series, but till then, I guess I can just buy the rest of the VC then start making sub dvds of Conan for my personal collection.

[dilbertschalter]

They really shouldn't Detective Conan doesn't make sense in English.

You should stop watching the subs then!

Lol I mean the word combinations they use and puns only japanese words can be used as. It would be too confusing if they spoke english. Not to mention most likely dissapointing. Conan's dubbed verse sounds like a 5 year old girl -__-I mean I know Conan's japanese voice actor is a girl but that doesn't mean the english one has to be lol

Conan's English voice sounds like a kid, not an adult, which I prefer.

Ok people conan is NOT one piece, conan Might have a barely passable dub HOWEVER it is hardly a train-wreak or a dub anyone is going to consider redoing for a second. if it sells well S23, NIS, or Nazomi would do a dub of at least the key episodes. but no company is going to dub conan with the anime's current track record, unless the TV series sells well for the new (if there is a new one at all).
Also just a reminder The interested parties in conan sub only are (supposedly) Nozumi/rightstuf, NIS, And Section23. Not Bandai (Thank god) or Viz for that matter (viz does not do TMS stuff last time I checked, since they are worse then Toei).
also I agree with dilbertschalter

There are no interested parties right now, because FUNimation still has the license.  Those are merely the companies mentioned as being the more likely to get it, if anyone decides to pick it up again.  Notice the rest of the statement too, "companies with lower overhead", which refers to those three.

true however these three (and possibly viz) are the ones I think would go after it, because I just can not see bandai going after conan (and I pray they don't) $40 for 7 subtitled only episodes is Nuts

For a sub-only release I'd say Nozomi/Rightstuf. Gotta love Rightstuf's pricing. I enjoyed my Emma: A Victorian Romance boxsets. (Come to think of it, I think that show mainly was able to be released thanks to fans pre-ordering the sets. People who pre-ordered (myself included) had their names listed on the DVDs for Special Thanks.)

and I heard about that, and there supergals? donation drive for season 2. for me it would be either Rightstuf for cost, or NIS for all the stuff they would end up including with the releases

O....k, I wasn't implying that the dub was bad, so much as that if another company did dub it in the future, that they'd likely use a different VA cast, and maybe even the real names would be allowed to be used, thus re-recording the previous funi episodes would make sense, in a similar fashion. But sadly it seems to be even a bit of a stretch to think the series will get a subbed release.

It still just baffles me how Detective Conan isn't doing better in the mass market, I honestly just blame it's timeslot on [AS], even though it was a murder show, it just didn't fit into the very small niche of anime that does well there and would have been much better off as a Afternoon anime, and it still would be if they just tried to promote the show again. How can the box seasons sell well when no one's really heard anything about it since the dub was canceled. I mean that there is a big killer, not to mention how many people are going to pick up an incomplete series they already knew when the VC came out had little chance of being renewed? Sure if it'd sold tons it would have, but that's throwing a bit too much to blame on the consumer.

But oh well, Thank heaven for DCTP and the other great sub teams xD
