This is my favorite show in the universe.” So all right, yeah, I’ll do my best. They’re like, “Don’t screw this up, Kyle. And then the people I work with, they’re hard core fans of it as well. KYLE COLBY JONES: When it came along – and you see people all dressed up – you know that it’s coming and it’s coming big. THE GEEKIARY: Is there a lot of pressure to sort of live up to that popularity?īRYSON BAUGUS: I was saying about how – just the fact that there’s such a huge fanbase and as soon as they announced the dub, they were like, “oh, I hope that they get Hinata sounding good,” and I’m just like, “oh god, I hope that I’m doing good for all those fans that are out there.” I’m proud of what I did. It’s ridiculously popular – I don’t know if you guys have seen all the cosplayers – THE GEEKIARY: The dub is coming out, and there’s already three seasons of the original. Additionally, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the three of them for a brief chat. There were also numerous signings during the weekend (I got mine!). At the panel, in addition to the usual Q&A (featuring a fair few Haikyuu cosplayers), they screened the first episode of the dub. Sentai Filmworks released season 1 of the Haikyuu English dub on November 14, and cast members Bryson Baugus (Hinata) and Scott Gibbs (Kageyama), as well as director Kyle Colby Jones, were on hand at AnimeNYC to promote it. (We’re still waiting on that season 4 announcement.) Bryson Baugus (Hinata), Kyle Colby Jones (director), and Scott Gibbs (Kageyama) on stage at AnimeNYC 2017. I have a weird relationship with dubs – I generally prefer the subs – but I acknowledge that a Haikyuu English dub will bring a new crop of fans to the show, which hopefully means things like more merchandise and eventually more episodes. I hadn’t even known it was getting a dub until I checked the con panel schedule and saw it listed. Even with a list of anime titles to check out, if I have spare time, I often find myself rewatching Haikyuu.

Haikyuu, as some of you probably know, is my favorite anime.

There was a lot of great stuff happening that weekend, but by far my favorite was the panel introducing the Haikyuu English dub cast.

A couple of weeks ago, I attended my very first anime convention, AnimeNYC, held at New York City’s Javits Center.
