Well I guess that the five year wait was for HiME to return just nothing! Still Shark give me some source on this anyway? |

Matter of fact, I have some good news, from my interpreter friend who also a big HiME/Otome fan said that the Sunrise Festival 2010 was supposed to be all about Gundam's history and even other mecha franchises that are involved as well. So we have some alot of hope for HiME saga down the road soon, everything is good once again.

HiME is shonen too right, unless it's harem plus yuri stuff along the way. Really do you think it's really going to show trailer of the next HiME project or not. Because unless Hisayuki-san needs time evaluate all of this then yes he should have time off.

As, I said, Hisayuki is already working on a different anime that's not HiME-related. HiME isn't really shounen as much as it is for both. Sunrise Festival 2010 is showcasing the strictly shounen Sunrise series of the past.

How can it be shonen unless it's science fiction shoujo. I said that, If he needs more time on his projects then we have no problem with it. But it's a three part episode series. I need to watch Votoms anyway and others Sunrise mecha projects soon.

Mai Otome Sifr has been licensed by Bandai Entertainment and I expect more dull dubbing from this soon and yes it's a must be for me.

Bluewater dubbing studios and credit have sup-par to great lately for the last couple years. I would flat out tell you they still have good vocal range, If they become very serious about it instead of being sup-par. One of the best VA's out of the studio was Carol Anne Day (Mai Tokiha), Mariette Slutyer (Midori Suiguira) and Morgan Partridge (Akane Higurashi) and I hope they do more vocal range work than for the Mai-franchise. Right now, Californians and Texans VA's are fuckin stacked, for the Canadian's they are so-so because of voice over rust work. For the upcoming Sifr series, whoever dubs this would be a instant buyer.

Maybe I'm more old fashioned, but I prefer subs, heh. Skip the dubbing, just sub it and release. Spare the expense so the DVD is cheaper. But like that would ever happen, haha.
I have been having a dub vs. sub argument with a friend of mine, as he prefers dubs and me subs. I dunno, I'm just more used to the inflections and emotions in a Japanese voice now, that most dubs come across as "wooden" to me. Not as much emotion. And you get things that just don't make sense in dubs, like near the end of Otome, when they refer to "Mai Hime." Obviously, in Japanese this works with both the language (referring to Mai as a princess) and also as an allusion to the first series. But saying "Mai Hime" in English doesn't make sense, because Himes aren't really referred to at all, and it totally lacks the "princess" angle. |

Yeah you are right eventually because everyone bitched alot when they chose Shizuru accent instead figuring out on learning Kyoto accent they just give an Southern Belle or Texan voice and anime fans went crazy over that issue. I would not trust Bluewater (Ocean Group) to do it nor Bandai Entertainment to take that kind of licensing for the Mai-franchise. If they do Sifr, possibly? Then I would buy but not hear the dubs. Even the dialogue and writing was so bad that I can't even comprehend and confusing at the least. But I found good VA's but and possibly Golden Gems that could be so awesome. They are alot of dubs that are superior like Outlaw Star,Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist and alot more, so don't count out on dubs yet. But I don't want Bluewater doing the Otome prequel nor the upcoming saga, but for the Golden Gems, I chose from my earlier post to come and get into a better dubbing studio than Ocean Group period. |

Yeah, a lot of studios use a southern accent for Kyoto accents; I find it annoying.
And I do have dubs I like; Cowboy Bebop was done well, and El Hazard's dub was a bit better than the sub voices. Slayers, I can go either way on. The main issue is that Japanese VA's train heavily for the roles, and there is fierce competition. Western VA's don't have the same... glamor, so there's not as much emphasis on finding really good ones. In a lot of cases, they have the remixing guy supply a voice, or grab the janitor; anything to shave some cost. So while English dubs can be good, on the average, I find the Japanese voices to be superior. Plus, it helps me better understand a foreign culture and begin to learn some Japanese myself. Just from listening to anime, I can already understand and speak several dozen words, phrases, and sentences, heh. |

There is competition in US dubbing too. There are auditions, and people get casted in roles if the directors find them suitable. |

To Kaijo, it doesn't matter what is superior on what dialogue you like, it seems your just being a idiot for saying those kinds things. Superior is inferior and the truth they will be bad subs and dubs overall. Your just jumping the gun like everyone and it sickens me man. |
