Could also be too expensive, not worth it, or too much effort for them to bother. Though Funimation did once dubbed some of the OPs for their shows. Most notable, a few of the early One Piece ones.

Probably the second reason. Animu had been there since the sixties, but it only started being pushed seriously with Saint Seiya when a rival telly company appeared for the first time in decades in Mexico, which had traditionally been monopolised since its inception. Somehow the show got really popular and almost all anime brought in the nineties got the utmost of care when dubbing.
Horizon certainly doesn't look cheap. And it's a really good show in my opinion. I''m actually suprised it does so well. I expected it to bomb horribly, with most of the audience losing interest after the first few rather confusing episodes.

That's when everyone did.
The answer to that question is always no.

More specifically, that's when I entered the subs > dubs phase.

This is terrible. The original Macross is getting a Bluray set in Japan, that's great news, the bad news is that it's like 517 US Dollars!

The only reason I still even bother to catch Adult Swim every once and a while, after all these years.

That's like 14 bucks an episode, quite a bargain.

I'm obligated to follow this post up with the superior CCS UK op theme.
Less than a dollar per minute of entertainment.
Unless of course you want to get fancy and not count reused animation, opening, endings, etc. Which case it will be more than a dollar, but not by much.
Fate/Stay night 24
I'm nerding out right now, getting my book>show on, if you will. This anime, it's...it's so bad. Shiro is an absolutely horrible protagonist in the VN, but at least there I'm cursed with only his dialogue, and gifted in the sense that I never have to see him. Here, I get to watch as he proceeds into his final fight with like 3 frames of animation, his v-neck, and a fresh pair of bootcuts like he's just going to face the elite four and go write exemplary tales about it on GAF after he's done. No tension between him and Saber. No melodrama. Nothing.
e: Fate/Stay Night 25
...wow. wtf is this shit?

Rubbish, I remember shows like Heidi, Candy Bell (SP?), Robotech and Remi being popular on Televisa before Los Caballeros del Zodiaco made a big impact for TvAzteca.

Ah, my childhood.
We even got Dragon Quest!
I never liked Queen Millennia, though.
And The Adventures of Peter Pan was my absolute favorite as a kid.
Somebody calculate the value per minute of 70 episodes of ccs for 80 bucks.

I don't think it's possible not to trigger K-ON discussions eventually.
I discovered Grumpy Jii-san today.
I wish to be as great as this man is at that age, and still watching anime.

If nothing else, the ending is certainly something special.

A mix of money, time and fan reaction.
Though fans who prefer the original language is still prevalent today, it was far, far louder back then. Fandom was also smaller back then too to help with this.
Money was a factor in both getting not just the rights, but setting up studios and hiring lyricists and vocalists for the job. It was also remember years back it mentioning that prices for proper licensing was higher here in the States than it is for other countries. Macross 7 is one such issue as Animeigo tried for it back in '98 and they had to pay two licenses, one for the animation and the other for the music. It was so steep they dropped away, and no one else touched it for the same reason.
That's not to say some companies tried to do something.
Though Viz did not dub their opening and closing songs they subtitled the songs in a way to sing-along if one wanted to. This did not do very well, as I remember a great deal of anger over that. This was the early to late nineties.
Geneon, Pioneer back then, actually did dub songs for Tenchi Muyo and El Hazard.

I'm of the opinion that the two english ops for El Hazard were superior than their originals. Unfortunately, in time they stopped doing so.
Funimation was the next one to dub their songs. What they did however, was actually employ a band to play the music while the vocalist sang. Take a look at those early dubs for YYH and some others like Blue Gender, and notice the music for the english songs are slightly different than the originals. I'm thinking that they had issues getting the right tracks for those at the time, as their more current dub songs, when they do dub them musically sound identical to the originals.
Of course, it does help when the actual band allows you to even have the song overseas, as TOKIO denied any right to play 7'O Clock News, the opening for Kodocha in any language for its domestic release. Funimation actually apologizes for that in a menu option in that first dvd. Similarly, L'Arc-en-Ciel's Fourth Ave Cafe was pulled from the english Rurouni Kenshin releases, but that was due to a band member being arrested.
With more and more opening and ending songs being used to push bands, its much harder to get not just the licenses, but the rights to dub them too, so that is one of the reasons why they'll dub some songs for one series and none for another.

Silly Lonely, trejo and I are nineties kids. All you are doing is showing how old you really are, obachaa~
I'm only on my mid 20's.
You are just bitter that I grew up with better Animu. With Sain Seiya Animu jumped the shark... 
Oh, yeah. Sandy Bell was a w@#&%!.

My mom watched Rémy when she was a kid, and she's in her forties. Not that there's anything wrong with that, Rémy's good shit.
Look all I'm saying is that while you watched silly soap opera animu trejo and I were fist-pumping at hot-blooded manly animu like Saint Seiya and Captain Tsubasa, and sometimes we even got to see boobs in other shows!

I'm old enough that I have memories of watching this at some point in my early years.
Reading about it nowadays, Minky Momo was some real fucked up stuff.
No Anime chick is hotter than Princess Leona! :S
I don't remember that, the fuck is it?

Hey maybe if Heidi had some more guitar riffs I wouldn't have thought it was an animu for girls back then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=111q1XdZyfY
the irony being that I watched Sailor Moon because I thought the girls were hot.
