Anime fans who enjoy a good English dub rejoice as yet another new series is coming to the Toonami block.
According to reports, the official "Dimension W" anime English dub is set to premiere on Adult Swim's Toonami block. The sci-fi anime series will premiere on Feb. 28 at 12:30AM. Funimation will then stream the English dub episodes on their website two weeks later.
So far, fans in an ANN forum are pleased with the announcement that the "Dimension W" English dub will premiere on Toonami.
"That was quick. I suspected it was going to land on Toonami eventually but not this soon. I hope 'Dimension W' becomes more popular. The show had a kind of slow start, but it has been building up nice momentum in the last episodes," said Angelmcazares.
Anime News Network reports the following "Dimension W" English dub voice cast members:
Christopher R. Sabat as Kyoma Mabuchi
Jad Saxton as Mira Yurizaki
Eric Vale as Albert Schuman
J. Michael Tatum as Loser
Josh Grelle as Koorogi
Stephanie Young as Mary
Jeremy Schwartz as Shido Yurizaki
For those who are not familiar with the "Dimension W" anime, it is based on the original manga series by Yuji Iwahara. Funimation, who is streaming the series to fans in North America, describes the story as follows:
"In the year 2071, the world's energy problems seem solved by a network of cross-dimensional electric-field inductors- "coils" -that extract energy from a seemingly infinite source. That source is the W dimension, a fourth plane that exists beyond the X, Y, and Z dimensions."
It goes on:
"In this world, unofficial "illegal" coils harness powers that the police can't hope to counter. Dealing with these coils is the job of coil-hating repo man Kyoma, whose run-in with the unique coil android Mira leads the two to form a reluctant partnership."
