why are some anime's released in the united states and not dubbed in english?
i don't buy anime that is not dubbed in english primarily because i can't speak japanese i will learn japanese one day mostly to watch anime that is only in japanese but i can't find logic in not dubbing an anime in english there are not that many people in america that speak japanese fluently i find it kind of lazy of them to not dub it it seems like they wanted to make money without doing the work but i could be wrong it could be a japanese company licensing it in america which would make sense that they wouldn't dub it. i know a lot of american anime fans like to watch anime in japanese but i also know they like to watch the english dub first so they can get a understanding of the story because when your watching anime in a language you don't understand you have to use subtitles and with subtitles it's either you look at the subtitles and have no idea what's going on or you look at the screen and see very little of the subtitles. so anyways what is the reason they release some anime's in america without dubbing it first. i could understand if they were to dub it in spanish because a lot of american's speak spanish

Because the company that licensed it believed they could sell the anime for more profit in Japanese with English subtitles instead of dubbing it, or the company didn't have enough money to actually dub it.

The reason is simple, money. Releasing a movie with subtitles costs a fraction of a release dubbed in English. I actually prefer subtitles, for some reason I get a better feel for the spirit of the film when I watch it in the native language.
