Hell, Funimation just bought the license to Baka Test. DEEN continues to do what it does best: troll and make people laugh. We're just currently stuck in the troll part.

Apparently I was wrong about the liscencing, BUT that does NOT excuse DEEN's lack of effort. The OP to Kira for instance. I'm not saying they lack effort in EVERYTHING they do, just some things really could have been done better. And as for Funimation? Well most of the dubs they do are terrible anyways so I don't find it surpirsing and Higurashi was no exception.
