I wonder how that would work in the English dub. Heck, how would that work in any dub?

The intro song will need to be dubbed in order for the last episode to work as a dub too....

Actually, the credits will be pretty weird too. I wonder if someone like ADV gets it, if they'll just karaoke songs from other animes that they own.... dunno.

This type of show just screams an ADV dub especially since they have more experience dealing with this type of stuff. Of course the one question is how will they handle the Haruhi Suzumiya "cameos"? Keeping some English dub continuity will be tricky.

The other thing would be the whole Haruhi licensing thing if Bandai doesn't get it. I wonder if it'd be a legal nightmare.

I don't think that will be problem, since I think that it will be like Haruhi, with Kadokawa licensing the series itself, with another company in charge of production and distribution.

You have a point. How many scenes are there of Haruhi characters talking in the show?

There's "Kyon" and "Yuki" in the episode where they go to Konata's workplace. Although technically they are just people cosplaying as those characters. And then there's Haruhi...

As for Haruhi actors that had roles in LS, here's a list:
Aya Hirano (Haruhi) - Konata, Konata as "Haruhi", Konata as "Yuki", "Haruhi" in the soda commercial, and as herself
Minori Chiharu (Yuki) - Minami, "Yuki" cosplayer, and as herself
Tomokazu Sugita (Kyon) - "Kyon" cosplayer and Clerk Sugita (or as himself, in a way)
Daisuke Ono (Itsuki) - as himself
Yuko Goto (Mikuru) - Gotouzer-sama (or as herself, in a way)
Minoru Shiraishi (Taniguchi) - as himself and other various voices

Interestingly thing is that Lucky Star had other anime cameos from other series that are licensed by ADV like Pani Poni Dash, Full Metal Panic, Air TV, and Keroro Gunsou (if they ever get a chance to release it) so pulling some continuity out of that shouldn't prove to be a problem if ADV gets a chance to work on this..

Hm... I was just skimming through the list of animes that Wendee Lee has done...

I didn't notice any ADV titles... looks like she does pretty much every US distribution company except ADV. Correct me if I'm wrong.

But still, I think ADV would be the best candidate to pick up the series.

Of all the companies, I agree that ADV has the most history of licensing show of this type: Excel Saga, Puni Puni Poemy, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, Cromartie High School, Azumanga Daioh, Sgt. Frog (Keroro Gunso), and Pani Poni Dash!.

But since ADV has their own dubbing studio and cast, it's very unlikely that they go outside for voice talent. There have been a few exceptions like You're Under Arrest and recently, Ah! My Goddess where they reused an existing cast for continuity instead of recasting with an in-house team. I'm not sure about the logistics of ADV getting the US Haruhi cast to reprise their respective roles in a US Lucky Star adaptation. Most of the Haruhi cast are based in California whereas ADV is in Texas. And I'm not sure that it's cost effective for ADV to contract Bang Zoom! for the dubbing.

Considering the nature of the show, I think it's more important to cast a Konata that can replicate Aya Hirano's performance(s). Wendee Lee has proven that she can do a wide range of voices and if Bandai Ent. picks this up I think she's a lock for Konata. And if it is ADV, at least they can have Chris Patton do the voice of Anime Tenchou.

Supposedly there's a special teaser found in Volume 4 of Haruhi Suzumiya that pretty much confirmed that Kadokawa Pictures USA has licensed it. Now does anyone plan on getting that DVD and figure out who Kadokawa is collaborating with? :roll:

(of course I did discover a boobieshack link of it, but I can't tell if it's the real deal or not)

I already planned on getting that DVD. Just remind me because I'll be watching Wendee singing God Knows.

I have the Haruhi DVD 4 pre-ordered, but I haven't received a DVD before the street date in probably a year now. TRSI shipped TMoHS LE v3 a week before the street date, but IIRC I got it about a week later. As of today, v4 hasn't shipped yet so I expect it to get to me 2 to 3 weeks from now.

The 'tube video looks legit. It's in the right style and is consistent to what Bandai Ent. has done with Haruhi so far. Plus, the menu screen caps someone posted on another forum look authentic too.

It will be interesting to see if Wendee Lee can do a Konata voice that will equal Aya Hirano's performance. Of course, this is assuming that the same voice cast will reprise their respective roles...
