They just have up to ep 30 of Xros Wars (now renamed Fusion since we can't have war in a kids show), but chances are the rest will be gotten too.

It was never renamed. All the stuff stays the same, actually.

The link in the OP calls it Fusion.

Yes,they did.

• Saban Brands will debut the newest season, Digimon Fusion, at MIPCOM, which will be held Oct. 8-11 in Cannes, France. Mar Vista Entertainment has been appointed to handle international distribution (outside of Asia) of the new season, as well as distribution for more than 250 half-hours episodes of Digimon content from the library.

Yes.

However, the one guy that tried out for the Dub (Ben Diskin, I think) said all the evolution terms would remain the same.

Yeah. But we meant the title.

If they ever get to Hunters,how are they gonna convince Joshua Seth to voice Tai again?

Which is stupid after we had things like Beast Wars and Star Wars The Clone Wars with no problems.

Is there a reason he wouldn't?

He retired to focus on his career as a hypnotist, but I heard he'd be up for voicing Tai again if asked. For the record, he was replaced for Diaboromon Strikes Back.

Okay, that admittedly slipped my mind. ^^;

Please don't hire Samurai-tier actors.

Please don't give Dark Knightmon a stupid voice.

Come to think about it, maybe it's okay to use Wars in the title of child shows as long as the protagonists aren't children themselves (since that might bring unpleasant images of child soldiers to some).

I think the Xros part of the original title might come off as somewhat un-marketable IN AMERICA!! to many.

Please don't hire Samurai-tier actors.

Please don't give Dark Knightmon a stupid voice.

I highly doubt either would happen — Bang!Zoom/Studiopolis's VA roster has quietly gotten pretty strong over the years. Data Squad showed that rather well, and the same will certainly prove true here.

Beh, its dumb. Go on and complain but relent that it is at least getting adapted.

When are we going to be able to get legit copies of C-mon and V-Tamer?

I really hope they get a fitting voice for DarkKnightmon and Bagramon.

I wonder how Tuwarmon would work though. His gimmick is his Engrish.

Keep It Foreign, of course.

You know, I really don't buy Xross being "unmarketable" now that I've actually thought about it. I would have, at most, changed the "x" to a "c" and that would be it.

Anyway, Martin Lawrence or Chuck Brown should voice Skullknightmon. Or maybe Anotonia Bandares because of Zoro.

"Cross" might bring unfortunate religious implications to some far-fetched-minded extremists out there. The kind that believes having a character saying "Oh God!" in a cartoon is a sin.

So who all's on the dubbing team? Any big names?

'Xcros' also sounds a bit... silly.

Studiopolis is doing the dub.

I wonder how they're gonna deal with Mervamon and Lilithmon.

Or a lot of the animation with Nene in the second half. Got kinda creepy there to be honest.

And thank goodness for contracts. Saban's been cutting corners all over the place with Power Rangers lately.
