[up] According to Kyle, it goes like this;

Unions protect the workers they represent chiefly by giving them collective bargaining power, meaning that instead of negotiating the terms of your employment individually, one-on-one, the union negotiates baseline minimums for everyone all at once. This generally leads to better terms for all workers, because as a collective, you have sway in these negotiations. How much you get paid, how long your hours are, how hard those hours are, how often you get breaks or time off, what safety precautions are taken, etc. Just one example of how SAG-AFTRA helps voice over performers, specifically, is by negotiating terms that protect us from vocally stressful work. We often have to do a lot of screaming/shouting on the job, but our contracts ensure it's never for too long a time. Our union's also gone to great lengths to educate both us and our employers on the dangers of vocally stressful work. And there are plenty of other benefits, but the big ones I want to point out are the health insurance and retirement fund.

Well, that's one hell of a page-topper.

They'd rather drop the Star of one of their most high profile shows then having to even interact with a union. Now that's some bullshit.

Its also depressingly common. There's nothing a corporation hates more than a union that protects their worker's rights, because it means they can't abuse them and pay them minimal pay.

Its why actors like Laura Bailey and Troy Baker don't do Anime dubs anymore. Besides both being high profile actors now, the fact that most Anime dubs are non-union means they won't work.

Rather infamously, Sega asked Sonic the Hedgehog's original voice actor, Ryan Drummond, to leave his union if he wanted to be recast as Sonic. Naturally he declined, but you can see where the heads pace of where these corporations are at.

They'd rather compromise the integrity of the product than even think about putting out extra cash or worker's rights. It's disgusting.

I'm probably gonna unsubscribe from Crunchyroll for the foreseeable future.

That's why I'll stick with Netflix and possibly Disney+, they at least offer Unionized dubs. I don't care if I'll have to wait for a show to come out and then drop all episodes at once, I'd rather watch some anime with Union coverage.

In fact, Netflix's Union deal is called one of the best Union deals for voice overs of all time, even though it's not perfect

Kyle McCarley Responds to Crunchyroll Statement about Mob Psycho 100 Simuldub Recasting

So basically if true, they're aren't really replacing everyone aside from Kyle as Mob and will actually allow remote recording if necessary.

CR is looking dumber each day.

And season 3 has started with episode 1. Wonderful, exactly what I was hoping for. I think the smoke-guy was original, but he fit in perfectly with the narrative of the episode. I laughed at how much effort was put into animating him lighting his cigarette for no reason.

^ The guy is actually in the manga, the demon possessing him is not. In the manga it's just that conversation, and the guy is just a random walk-in to Reigen's office, they don't make a house call. Reigen just talks to him off-screen and gives him a massage to make him feel better, he's not possessed. I actually had to go back to check to make sure I wasn't misremembering things.

That's right. Though even in this episode, he's not possessed, he just goes so deep into depression that his soul starts corrupting into an evil spirit.

I didn't know whether that counted as possession or not.

Either way, we're off to a great start this season. The next episode with all the demons should also be fun.

Full OP just dropped, and there's even a lyric translation. I would say that if you are paying enough attention though that the lyrics constitute slight spoilers so you have been warned.

Ep 2: The Yokai hunter chapter was adapted so well. Amakusa being super-serious was freaking hilarious, and they even brought out the Sakuga for the fights against the Hundred Demon Generals, for no reason. And people thought they would skip this...

I love how classic Mob Psycho this episode was, with Mob not really caring about the ghoulies and was more concerned with his more mundane school festival project. And he actually finds a solution on his own! My boy is growing.

Episode 3: High horse Mob is hilarious. That butt-chin face.

Broccoli Mob (literally) looks gnarly. I’m assuming that’s the divine energy gathered by the giant broccoli, given humanoid form.

And oh hey Tsubomi is so much more relatable because of her snot accident. Haha.

Ah. Finally. Finally we see THE SHIRT in all of its horrendously tacky glory. This was a good breather episode between the first two which had action (even some non-manga action but executed masterfully) and the next two which will get pretty heavy. I suspect that this arc will be wrapped up in the next two episodes. One episode of the psychic club/camping trip, and then we're into the final arc of the show.

I didn't think seeing Broccoli Mob in colour would be quite as offputting as it ended up being, but that's honestly a good thing. It's supposed to be creepy and gross.

I'm pretty sure we're getting two episodes of the camping trip, based on page-count. Episode 6 would end with them about to go camping, then episode 7 is the actual trip.

Heh. I loved the Butt-Chin Mob part. After all the effort he put into improving himself and learning to interact with others, and after actually getting a little better, it's endearingly realistic to see it get to his head. You just... want him to enjoy this, because he deserves a bit of overconfidence, but at the same time you know the other shoe will drop sooner or later. And the big guy voice just makes it even better.

@PushoverMediaCritic — had to mention that i don't think the animators lavishing so much attention on the depressed man's cigarettes in ep 1 was for no reason.

reigen used to smoke; the series implies during the second season that he either gave it up entirely or just refrained around mob after the boy entered his life. this man's smoking is thus extra torture for the phony psychic, on top of the roaches and filth in his home. i read it as a Brick Joke.
