I thought to get a show aired in the us or to go into syndication it

A. has to be dubbed

and

B. has to have a certain amount of episodes

Leading to why robotech exists,

and why harlock and queen millenia were combined i don't know if the rules has changed since then.

I do know Gurren Lagann only got a dub because the sci fi network picked the show up, these days no tv deal equals no dub, usually.

Anime is mostly going sub only, basically glorified fansubs but at the full price instead of for free.

It is only worth it if the subs are accurate and get the nuance of the original japanese.

Some shows with the official sub are a entirely different show because the meanings are better conveyed, man some of those fansubs get things all wrong or engrishy you wonder if they used babelfish to translate,lol.
