The Rascal Does Not Dream Season 1 Blu-ray box set mistakenly listed the English dub for the supernatural anime, according to Aniplex of America, who issued a statement confirming the error. The Blu-ray edition of the first season and the Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl film was released on November 14, 2023, and its label showed that it features English audio, but that turns out to be an error as Aniplex said that the disc doesn't feature one.
Aniplex reminds customers to contact Crunchyroll support if they have any concerns or questions regarding the purchase, and those who purchased the release at Anime NYC should reach out to Aniplex directly.
"Please know that providing our customers with only the highest quality products and a gratifying experience is our utmost priority," Aniplex wrote in the statement. "We will be sure to take extra measures to make sure that such errors don't happen again in the future."
