Nana Dub finally Coming out from Viz Media!

[Choclat]

I heard a while ago, that they were putting the Nana anime (and Honey and Clover) on the Funimation channel. I just thought it was an April Fool's Joke. However, today, I saw that viz finally launched the Nana English Dub Site!

At the moment, I don't really care if the dub sucks, I'll just watch the sub versions.
I'm highly excited and cannot wait. (especially since some of us have been waiting for 3+ years for a dub since the Parakiss one.)

really...WOOT!!! blaugh

do they have a release date yet?  

[FancySeraphim]

July 21st is the release date I believe. I heard they're re-doing the songs too, not just dubbing it x.x You can hear Hachi's voice at the end of the trailer and........well...yay subs! x3 But yeah, read in a ShojoBeat article awhile back about how the voice actresses are supposed to be lending their voices to the songs also.....I hope that was unconfirmed crying  

[FancySeraphim]

Oh, and I still think the ParaKiss anime sucked hardcore Dx I couldn't get into the sub OR the dub. I wanted to murder that director for making it so chop chop! I think NANA has been awesome so far except for that way outta whack first ep being all outta place xD

Is because the first two chapters (in the manga) are supposed to be the prologue. Nana starts with volume two.

BTW, I've been waiting over four years for this!!!!

(I actually really liked the ParaKiss dub.)
Dubing the songs. . . . . . I guess they are going to do this since it will be on the Funimation Channel. (they also redid the opening and ending songs for the Ouran Host Club series.)
July is a bit far from now, however, I know it will be worth it if they come out with Nana Merchandises.
I hope they keep the same DVD covers as the ones from the Japan. (They are the most beautiful and simple anime DVD covers ever.) I just hope they do not ruin it by putting the generic ShojoBeat/Shonen Jump footnote at the bottom with the volume number. (It's a pain looking at my ShojoBeat Nana mangas.)

knowing viz, they probably will.
I don't see what's wrong with shojo beat.

But isn't VIZ and FUNimation separate?
I wouldn't think NANA/ Honey & Clover would be showing on the channel.

Yes! I am excited about this dub--!
I simply can't wait, haha.
The trailer seemed awesome
& I think I loved Hachiko's voice (more than the Japanese one, anyway)

(I love Hachi regardless. xD.)
But in the Anime News Network, they stated that Funimation would be including 5 viz titles to their lineup. I guess it's to fill up slots. You can read it here:

Hachi's voice... X_______X  

[Allynia]

I think that's cool, but I always prefer the original voices...Dubs always sound weird to me confused

I'm still waiting for some type of release date.
Hopefully they will make a special edition to include the soundtracks.
