The two concerns I have with a British accent: - Without being 'mean', many people outside England seem to think England consists of having only two accents. Cockney (i.e. Lock Stock) or frickin Queens English. I don't speak in ''gangster'' nor in ''upper clarrrrsss fakeism'' thanks. - I doubt Bandai would go to the trouble of hiring a British V.A. I can't think of any Brits who've done American anime dubs...are there any So what you'd have is an American pretending to be a Brit pretending to have the 'rough' translative medlodic qualities of the Kyoto accent. I'm not sure, that sounds a bit worrying to me. Last edited by Diodati; 2006-01-13 at 16:01. |

If you're talking about Bloody's post, those are the *Japanese* R2 DVDs. But if you're referring to the very first post, yes that's definitely the Bandai R1 DVD set --Lone Wolf |

I think it would be funny if Shizuru had a cockney accent. Or Bostonian ("Whaddaya, retaaahded?"). Just to see the fans scream for blood. |

Yeah, you're right, the ROD dub did actually turn out quite well. LA's a pretty diverse city so I can imagine Animazement or Gaijin Studios hiring a British VO to fill the role of Shizuru. --Lone Wolf |

Why did they cast two Brits and one Irish person? I've only seen the ROD oav not the TV series - obviously something about the characters voices/accents/origin compelled them to? EDIT: Hang on a minute...*muses*...I remember something being afoot in those British Library scenes... |

No no - there's no need to bomb Bandai. Otherwise we'll (or rather ''you'll'' be cutting ties with a 'source' ) Quote:

As for whether Arthur is good... I'll get back to you on that when I find the clip again. Cheers for the bigger picture Solitaire I'm still not sure why they traded off putting some pretty art down the side for a big pic of the DVD and a tshirt. Surely sticking that on the packaging would've done? |

Yeah the shirt is pretty bad and Taku (the producer) thought so as well. According to Taku Otsuka, they asked Sunrise for new artwork but were only provided existing artwork so they had to through something together with what they were given. I'm just greatful that they added the *dvd extras*...it helped that Taku is a fan of the series and a huge "Natsuki" fan. --Lone Wolf |

Also, as USCP mentioned, My Hime is the official english name given to the show, as proven by the website. On that note, try have a fit when Bandai releases Mai Otome as "My ZHime"... (though that probably won't happen... maybe. ) |

Yes. Those are the Omakes. As for the figurines, Bandai like every other US anime company is on a tight budget so they wouldn't shell out the extra bucks for additional stuff. Unfortunately the anime industry here in the US has suffered immensely and right now, Bandai is "lay-off" central. But that's another story. --Lone Wolf |
