Well, I'll just post this here since there isn't a sub-board for Xros. xD
This was the pic that was with the story. It's a screencap of the Facebook message that Ben wrote.
Anyway, who else is stoked? I had been watching some of the Japanese version of it, so I am super excited for it. Apparently, rumor going around is that the style of the dub will be more like Adventure and 02 more than Savers/Data Squad.
With both the original Digimon Xros Wars series and the 2011 follow up, Hunters, already concluded in Japan, numerous Digi-fans have been ready and waiting for news of an English dub. However, news has been quite scarce in that regard with only a few vague hints that we’d be seeing the series in English some time in the future. However, recently, voice actor Ben Diskin (Best known for his roles as Eugene in Hey Arnold!, Numbah One/Two in Codename: Kids Next Door, Stitch in the Stitch! anime, Harm in Young Justice, and recently, Young Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts 3D.) posted a very interesting reply to a question about the series he received through a Facebook message (as seen above). There you have it, straight from the horse’s (or voice artist’s) mouth! A Digimon Xros Wars English dub is definitely on the way from Studiopolis! (The same studio that dubbed Data Squad and movies 4-7.) This also confirms that the dub will retain the Digimon Xros Wars title rather than changing it to “Digimon Fusion Battles” like it was rumored and that Taiki, Zenjiro, Akari, and Kiriha will undergo name changes. (Taiki’s dub name only being off by one consonant while the others are more Americanized.) It’s currently unknown when or where we can expect to see the dub, but seeing as how auditions are already under way, chances are good that we’ll be seeing it some time in 2013.
