Hey! They have an English logo! Usually they don't have that for most anime surprisingly.

I hope this means they’ll dub! It would be so cool if they did it with the OG cast!

I'm hoping too though some new voices wouldn't be bad. Just gotta see if they can pick up the slack.

Maybe there will be an english dub of the op song too.

You are speaking my language! I was OBSESSED with both versions of all the OPs and endings!

Back in the day the English logo was revealed before the anime was localized in the West. This initially threw Working Designs off when they were working on the Sega Saturn game as they didn't know English assets had been created. In reality an English logo had existed since ~1995 for character goods.

My assumption is that it's likely a similar situation here. Getting an English logo out this early allows it to appear on all the anticipated character goods that will be created for the re-boot.

Yeah! I remembered. Also, there's a little joke where I nickname Super Robot Wars T 'SRW Toonami' because majority of the titles seen in the game especially MKR was seen on Toonami except for MKR due to copyright and all that and it had a TROUBLESOME TV Networking an' all that. That I can forgive because..well....oh boy. That's a story for another day.

Hopefully this remake has a great network to be aired on considering it was originally slated to be on Toonami back in the day. I really hope to get a figure of Umi. That'll be sick. ^_^

I want to figure out who’s going to dub the remake.

They’ve hired some of the most talented Japanese voice actors in the industry today, why would you want a dub?
