The platform Funimation, available in Latin America for the Mexico and Brazil areas, issued a statement explaining the situation behind the fact that the Simulcast (the broadcast of episodes in parallel with Japan) is not going as promised.
“”We understand your questions and concerns about our winter simulcast programs for Mexico. We are working hard on it Bring most simulcast shows within 24 hours of broadcasting in the USas fast as our current subtitling process allows. Some shows may take a little longer. We’ll do our best to shorten it and keep you updated on the latest updates on the anime’s availability.
We are also working on bringing simuldubs! We’ll have some announcements about this very soon. The simuldubs will also air later than the US and it may vary depending on the series.“”
The statement made via Twitter was generally negatively received, stressing that Funimation is not a new platform and should not go through this type of situation. In addition, in relation to simuldubs (Episodes that are dubbed almost in parallel with their original broadcast in Japan) had constant mention that they are not being produced in Miami. Recommended comments include (spelling errors in source have been corrected):
- «It goes without saying because they have only been here for a short time. But it’s also important that it’s okay when they deliver something, it’s their image. Translators need to translate well as they appear to be using an online translator. You can make mistakes, but that’s already constant».
- «If it’s simul dubs made in Miami, then I don’t want anything. And then the subtitles are understandable, but they should improve the quality as I don’t think it is right that they leave very literal translations like “Cells at work – Black Code”.».
- «Hope you are also aware of the poor reception by its subscribers of Miami’s terrible dubbing work on My Hero Academia.».
- «And why not work with your brother Crunchyroll for advice on making subtitling quick and efficient?».
- «Please assemble a Mexico-focused team for your subtitled anime simulcasts. They shouldn’t take as long as they do. In that regard, they are under Crunchyroll who has them quickly. And if not, don’t hoard licenses».
