While we didn't anticipate beforehand that so many fans would be so passionate about including an English dub for the Phantom Trigger anime adaptation, we certainly heard those voices, and have been exploring multiple options for making it happen, and what amount we would need to set a stretch goal at. Unfortunately, despite reaching out directly to a number of US-based English anime distributors, most have not responded to our outreach. We will of course continue to explore all angles ourselves, but we encourage anyone and everyone interested in an English dub to reach out yourselves and recommend the Phantom Trigger anime adaptation for licensing - a strong community voice may be just what we need to make things happen.
