User blog:RyuChanVEVO/When Will FUNimation Catch Up?

Dear Dub Enthusiasts,

If you're like me, you're constantly asking "How long until FUNimation gets to ______ Arc?". But if you're not like me, you won't spend an hour calculating it to figure it out. Luckily, for those who are like me, but not entirely like me, I'm me to help you be like me. I took an average of all the wait-times between DVD releases to reasonably predict every DVD release date from now until the latest episode as of this blog (580). Now, I've spaced the DVD releases out quite a bit. They're normally released much closer to each other. But doing it like this will account for error, such as a mid-season gap, or a contract negotiation. It also gets a little messy when you consider specials, but at least it's in the ballpark.

Please tell me of any errors you spot. It's not perfect, but it's got to be at least close, right? So in 6 years, the English anime will be where the Japanese anime is today. And knowing Toei, they'll still be in Dressrosa by then. 5-6 years behind Japan is right on schedule. When FUNimation started, they were about 9 years behind, and as of now, they're about 6 years. Here's hoping they don't run out of voice actors.

Love, with too much time on my hands, Ryu-Chan
