I love that it's getting a Japanese dub! Not just because it'd be cool to hear it in Japanese, but also because so many people in Japan have taken a liking to RWBY. I was happy to hear about the fandub because it meant they would have an option of watching it subbed or fandubbed, and now there's going to be an official dub instead!

And I'm sure I'm gonna be happier with it than I was with the MLP:FiM Japanese dub. Whoo... Let me tell you... They cut out some of the small-but-important scenes in some episodes, and they decided it was too hard to dub some of the songs (which tend to describe the character's conflict), so instead they left in the English version and put subtitles that were not lyrical about the translation. One of the reasons I had been looking forward to the Japanese dub was to hear what the songs would sound like in Japanese. D:

With RWBY, though, not so much. ^^ The songs are background music, so I'll be fine with those being left in their original state. And I'm sure they're not gonna cut anything out.
