No doubt about that! Vic's basically perfect at voicing any character he plays!

If you're talking about the same Aaron as the one who played Al in Fullmetal Alchemist, then that is not happening since he hit puberty, and that can radically change your voice!

but i will still see this anime no matter wat ^_^

I saw the boxset and it looked sweet.
And I pre-ordered it, which I hardly do.
I'm really looking forward to watching it again

I'm starting to feel like a stick-in-the-mud on these forums, because I'm not at all optimistic about this dub. For one thing, I'm not big on Vic Mignogna; I find his voice rather, uh...irritating. Horribly so. Plus, the Japanese cast of Ouran was so good that there is no way the English cast can measure up, as far as I'm concerned. So, basically, I'm a bit iffy on this one.

Watch the first 2 episodes here:

That is, by far, one of the funniest dubs I have ever listened! Since I never saw any of the fansubs, I might consider this one.

I think I cried when I heard Kyoya's voice. It's so....BAD compared to his Japanese one.

I think he sounded fine in dub. He sounds very manipulative

Anyway, I liked Haruhi and Honey dub. Tamaki blows...

.....Why exactly did they put the first 2 episodes on the internet,it's on youtube already..

:3 It's awesome..The twins are so awesome sounding together.

i don't wanna get mobbed here but the dub was just plain awful >.<

[blaqkpupil]

everyone's voice is bareable's but tamaki
who talks the most throughout each episode

his voice makes me cringe >.<
and i'm sorry but the OP
just
no

other than that
it feels nice to just listen instead of reading subs. not that i mind either, but it's a nice change

Spoiler for episode 1:

plus the translation of the saying tamaki tells haruhi about water not hurting men made alot more sense in the dub.

I'm with Hari on this one. Kyoya's dubbed voice just doesn't suit him nearly as well as the Japanese one.

But it could be worse. He could have a voice like Tamaki. His dub is just painful.

I wasn't sure when i first heard about them dubbing Ouran, mainly because I love the anime so much and never wanted to see anyone destroy it (mentioning no names *cough*4kids*cough*). However hearing Funimation had got it eased my worries, I trusted Funimation to do theyr absolute best on this dub. And, having now watched the first episode on their website, i'm glad they got it. True enough Tamaki's voice is annoying and theyr pronouncing names differently, but Haruhi's is spot on! and theres barely an edit in sight! except for one and i'm pretty sure its not all that big a deal.

I'm pretty sure the only edits they've done is the fact that the credits and title-cards are now written in english, which FUNi does with all their shows these days. And if that was the one you were referring to as well, then yeah, it doesn't really matter. The english titles are direct translations of the japanese ones anyway. Of course, I can't be entirely sure, being that I hadn't seen the series at all before I got the DVD a few days ago, but I'm pretty sure I'd see someone complaining about it if they edited anything.

no i didnt mean those lol they cut out something really small just a little thing Haruhi says at one point (in hte first ep i cant remember where exactly anymore but i compared to to my subbed eps which i stilll have until i buy the DVDs) it doesnt make any difference i think it may have been a time thing? yknow cos they need to shave a few seconds or so off if theyr gonna air it on TV.

I can't wait for the 20th of this month when Funimation finally release Series 1 Part 1 of OHSHC here in the UK as a 2 disc DVD set...I've had it pre-ordered for ages now and am really excited!!!
