Answerman - Why Doesn't Yaoi Anime Get Dubbed?
anime
There isn't that much yaoi anime out there, but what there is rarely ever gets dubbed into English - why is that? Justin gets into it.
― DL Warner asks: I see this lament on every Page or Blog dedicated to BL every time there is a new BL Anime simulcast. Why isn't BL ever dubbed? Is it because there is more of a stigma in the West for Voice Actors to do Gay roles? Or is it more of a money issue? BL ...

The Betrayal Knows My Name Sub.DVD
anime
This sub-only release hides an enjoyable dark fantasy that's lighter on the BL than you might expect. Rebecca Silverman dives deeper.
― Originally released in 2010 and based on a manga whose English release has been on hiatus until this coming July, The Betrayal Knows My Name at first seems like an odd choice for a DVD release. It's clear that Funimation was a bit trepidatious about it as well – this...
