The staff recorded English versions of the anime's two opening theme songs, two ending theme songs, and two insert songs , and the new versions will be included on the English dub track. The company was initially unable to get approvals to dub the two ending themes, but updated the Kickstarter page to say that they will be able to dub them: Robbie Daymond and Raj Jain will perform the first ending theme "Namida" and Vic Mignogna will perform the second ending them "Eien."
