Minagi Tohno - Kira Vincent Davis (Aw! Oh well!)
Michiru - Serena Varghese
Potato - Tiffany Grant
Kirishima Hijiri - Christine M. Auten
Tachibana Keisuke - John Gremillion
Girl A (Nayuki Minase) - Jessica Boone (Woo! I was right!)
Girl B (Ayu Tsukimiya) - Brittney Karbowski
Girl C (Makoto Sawatari) - Tiffany Terrell

Aww! At least some of my suggestions were right. But for the wrong characters. Man! Oh well! That'll be okay! I'm guessing Kanon might come in the future.

And I thought Chris Patton will be the one who'll voice Yukito. Anyway, I'm definitely buying this one...even though I've seen it already. I believe the release date for vol. 1 was August 14th no? Also, according to ADV films, they will air the first episode on August 2 via Anime Network. So for those who have Anime Network, don't miss that one

Looks like the release date has been moved back up to July 24th, slicing off a good couple of weeks.

Hmm, might be a promotion to drum up extra sales by selling it a month early direct from ADV's online shop, unless other shops start listing Air TV vol #1 with this new release date.

Sorry ADV, much as I might want it, I need that extra %35-40% off your price that other online retailers will give me.

I wonder if that will happen in retail stores? Probably not. I guess it's only happening if you're buying it online hm?

[FireChick]

Wow! Change in release date! Nice! I better get this!

[sakuravs]

Do you guys think the Air DVD vol.1 will be available at some electronic stores like Fry's or Best Buy soon after it's released??

Pretty sure Best Buy will have it in stores soon as it was released. I just checked Best Buy online and they have it there listed but pre-ordered..for now. Dunno about Fry's though

[cmage]

ADV's website is having a sale through Monday, and the first Air DVD's going for $18. I figure it's worth it to preorder it through them, even if the shipping's $9, 'cause I still get it early. Yay for random sales~

[FireChick]

That's cool! two hours ago I watched episode 3 of Tactics on my DVD in english and I'm thinking Yukito's gonna sound like Sugino since Vic Mignogna voices both of them. Sorry to go a little off-topic.

1) Haruhi
2) That flash logo... has a nice red X on my screen over it...
3) Key didn't create Haruhi. Surely they meant the animators/animation studio, Kyoto Animation...
4) Angel Seekers is a really odd translation for 翼人伝承会, so unless that production committee really liked that English title...

Why no vocals? It doesn't sound right!

[Flare_Dragon]

I seriously prayed Funimation or Geneon would have licenced Air...
I think Vic will do alright as A Yukito, but I liked how Ono Daisuke-sama could put deep sarcasm (as well as hunger ^^) into his voice. I just think its kinda funny watching Yukito sound like Ed english ver.

btw... Anyone else feel Potato's va should have been left alone? (As with Pikachu?)

If it is sold at Fry's I can let you know. But most likely they should. SHnY was sold on the first day for like 44.99 USD or something because it was advertised in the newspaper but didn't look like many people were buying it. I currently work there and while it was slow I would look it up in the inventory to see how many volumes were sold. If Fry's is selling it, I'm on it.
As for the dubbing, I'm interested in hearing how Misuzu's "Gao" would sound like in english.

As ADV stated...
"Gao" is how little japanese children say "Grr"

Hopefully it stays the same, or else all moe shall be lost!

Ryuuya english actor is revealed!

*drum roll*

Ryuuya: Jay Hickman

Also...

Yukito's mother: Shelley Calene-Black

Eh? I thought gao meant a dinosaur's cry...

Anyways, if they take out gao, it wouldn't sound very appealing for us otakus that have watched the fansubs, but if ADV added 'gao' in the English version for non-otakus, it'd sound very weird.

Thereby making it a lose-lose situation, so the best option would have been not to license

[Robotnik]

I could have sworn I already posted my thoughts on the likelihood of ADV preserving "gao", but apparently it was in the "is Kanon licensed thread:

Anyway, I think ADV has also shown it can treat a niche title well; in the dub of Nanaka 6/17 they left in Nanaka's cute "hayaya?" and "hawawa?" (so I think "gao" and "uguu" and the rest will survive the dubbing) and they preserved how different characters address each other (classmates by last name, familiars by first name, childhood friend by "<>-chan"), even to preserving how one girl addresses the object of her affections by last name in public but by first name in her thoughts.

[Shin_Battousai]

Seems like it may have been confirmed that gao will remain as is during AX 2007
