Rejoice English dubbed fans, we have the first batch of SimulDubs announced from Funimation for this Fall 2017 Season. The new shows of “Black Clover”, “The Ancient Magus’ Bride”, “Dies Irae”, “Kino’s Journey -the Beautiful World- the Animated Series” “JUNI TAISEN: ZODIAC WAR” “URAHARA” and “Recovery of an MMO Junkie” will be getting an English dubbed version a few weeks after the initial Japanese simulcast.
For those that don’t know, SimulDubs are Funimation’s way to release new shows in English instead of having fans of dubbed shows to wait for a DVD or English Broadcast release. It’s been going on since 2014 with Funimation SimuDubing shows like “Yuri on Ice”, “Keijo!!!!!!!!”, “Mob Psycho 100”, “My Hero Academia”, and many more.
Here are synopses for the current 7 shows:
Black Clover
Asta and Yuno are two orphans who want the same thing: to become the Wizard King. Locked in a friendly rivalry, they work hard towards their goal.

To reach their goal, they’ll each find their own path to greatness—with or without magic. – Funimation

Dies Irae
