Yeah, if Jetterz hasn't come over to the U.S. by now (considering the Jetterz game came out, what, a few years ago but still no sign of the anime?), I highly doubt it will.

Also considering how poorly the American anime industry has been doing lastly, the only real way I see this coming over (assuming it ever actually does) is that it'd probably be subbed only. It'd probably be for the best that way.

Even if the anime industry was doing better, I don't think they'd bother getting a dub done for Jetterz anyway. Bomberman isn't exactly popular over in the States, not like how it is in Japan anyhow. I don't think a whole lot of people would be interested in buying the series over here.

Besides, I honestly don't even want to think about how badly it'd be screwed up if it was brought into the wrong hands (coughcough4kidscoughcough).

I agree, it should have been brought to america, but because of 4kids being all whiny and wanting to be the only importer of anime, they won't bring it out because after the sixth episode, it got to the point where they can not edit it without either leaving only a few seconds of animation or all that is left is a very short, choppy episode that makes no sense at all, and the fact that the acting will be so horrid that you would not even recognize the characters for their personalities, and would most probably make birdy sound way older than he's supposed to sound, since he is in his forties, and they made him sound like an old man, (the gamecube game for example, bongos voice does not match his personality, and birdy sounded way too old as mentioned above, and his face was too fat). So in the end, unless 4kids loses all of its funding, which is not very likely to happen, we may never see bomberman jetters in america, unless funimation can get the rights to it and release it uncut, which again is unlikely to happen, and if it does, it won't last long before 4kids gives them the old cease and desist letter telling them to halt all production of the series, and I have seen this happen before with a few other shows funimation released as uncut anime.
