Dubbing History[]
Sentai Filmworks had announced on May 7, 2010 that they had acquired the license to the series. Sentai released part one the series on DVD on March 29, 2011, and the second half of the series on May 31, 2011.
While the first half of Sentai's dub received mixed reviews, their dub of the second half of the series has become fairly notorious in the English anime fandom for its poor production values, poor voice acting, and poor lip-syncing. For whatever reason, Sentai was rushed on completing the second half of the dub, which resulted in a large decline in quality and much of the cast being changed.
