Written By Samantha Ferreira June 18, 2014

It looks like FUNimation will be postponing their release of Ben-To, due to quality concerns. We received the following notice from FUNimation this afternoon:

FUNimation will be postponing the English dub release of the series Ben-To. We have realized that there are inconsistencies associated with the materials used to create the release.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause fans who are eager to see this series, but we want to ensure that the product we are releasing is to the highest standard that our fans expect. We will provide a new release date once it becomes available.

We’ll keep you guys updated as we learn more.
