** Many Aniplex USA titles often receive subtitle only releases and this includes popular shows such as ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'', ''Manga/{{Nisekoi}}'', and ''Manga/BlastOfTempest''. Unlike Creator/FUNimation, Creator/SentaiFilmworks or Creator/NISAmerica, Aniplex does not go back and re-dub their shows (''Manga/BlueExorcist'', however, was an exception). For the most part the only shows that Aniplex USA ever releases with English dubs are ones that have mainstream popularity usually being action shows or shows with Gen Urobuchi attached to them. Some do not like this at all as many fans of these shows want to see them receive English dubs, will only buy the release if it has a dub (especially since Aniplex's releases are expensive), and especially because these are popular shows the possibility that dub only watchers will never see them. Others do not care as for one reason or another these shows do not justify a release with an English dub, and that because these shows aren't released with dubs it allows for higher quality releases. It should also be noted that avid Aniplex USA supporters are often those who don't support the dubbing industry and would much rather have a high quality subtitle-only release with extras rather than a bare bones release with a dub.

** In terms of English dubbing the only studio Aniplex USA ever uses for recording is Creator/BangZoomEntertainment. Some don't mind this as they find Bang Zoom's talent pool to be very competent and it's a good way to give Los Angeles based voice actors work as most anime dubbing is in Texas these days. Others however would like to see Aniplex branch out and use other studios in Los Angeles (like Creator/{{Studiopolis}}, which is known for doing AllStarCast dubs, and usually union dubs) since their constant use of Bang Zoom often has many of their dubs using the same voice actors.[[note]]This does seem to be changing somewhat, in the 2010s such as LightNovel/SwordArtOnline's Alicization arc using a variety of completely new actors, both in main and side roles, such as Creator/BrandonWinckler, Creator/LizzieFreeman, Creator/MichelleMarie, Creator/DeneenMelody, Creator/JackieLastra, Creator/RebaBuhr, Creator/MaureenPrice, and Armen Taylor.[[/note]]

* CrackIsCheaper: Aniplex USA is infamous among the American anime fandom for being expensive. They initially gained infamy for releasing shows like ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' and ''{{LightNovel/Durarara}}'' in sets of singles that only contained a third of the show's episodes and were about the price of a 12-episode show or half of a 24-episode show that Funimation would put out. Even when Aniplex USA started doing split releases like with 'LightNovel/FateZero'' and ''Manga/BlueExorcist'' the price for the standard edition [=DVDs=] for half of those shows still amounted to $70. It doesn't help that RightStuf is the only retailer where you can buy Aniplex USA releases and it is rare that they ever go on sale.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Dubbing ''Manga/YourLieInApril'' was this for the company. It marked the first time that one of their shows that received a dub wasn't an action show nor a show that had Creator/GenUrobuchi attached to it. ''{{Anime/Charlotte}}'' and ''{{Manga/Erased}}'' getting a dub is also this, especially the former where it is noted to be the first Creator/KeyVisualArts anime title to be dubbed by Creator/BangZoomEntertainment. In fact, 2016 seems to be the year Aniplex started upping production for dubbed releases, as they also included ''Anime/TheAsteriskWar'' and ''Anime/GodEater'', creating a total of 5 anime shows being dubbed the same year, which is an increase from 1 or 2 Aniplex-licensed shows being dubbed per-year.

** In terms of English dubbing the only studio Aniplex USA ever uses for recording is Creator/BangZoomEntertainment.
