English Dub for The Garden of Sinners (Kara no Kyoukai) films


English Dub for The Garden of Sinners (Kara no Kyoukai) films
The issue
The Garden of Sinners film series is a beloved anime and is more groundbreaking than one would realize. First off it was studio Ufotable's magnum opus, pre-dating the Fate/Zero and Unlimited Bladeworks series. As far as anime films go, this was one is the most stunning.
On top of sakuga animation, each film was handled by a different director and the initial films were released out of chronological order. Despite this the films did not suffer even a little bit.
The films are based on a series on light novels by Kinoko Nasu who is famous for his TypeMoon company and fictional universe of which The Garden of Sinners belong.
The story itself if very hard to describe, but it is mostly set in the 90s with a string of paradoxical mysteries but with a collective narrative.
So here's the thing, Kara no Kyoukai is a great film series but could cater to a larger western audience. I'm not saying that watching an anime series in Japanese is "inferior" to watching in English, but I would like to see a widened popularity of the films and I think the best way would be to give it an English dub. And considering the complex themes and intricate plot developments of the films, it would definitely benefit from a dub (financially speaking).
I mean how many of us want to show these films to our non-otaku friends, right? But who don't want to because it's not in their language?
And that's why I would like to see these films get dub. If you feel the same please sign. And if you are a "dub-hater" or "sub-purist" please also sign for the sake of widening the audience to anime in general..
Thank you for reading and supporting.
