I was also thinking, "Bad luck," "Crappy luck," "Craptastic luck," "Bad day," as other alternatives to Touma's "Such misfortune" without making it overly literal.
I think the Index series have potential to be licensed and dubbed. In fact, maybe a higher of seeing the Index series dubbed than Hayate the Combat Butler.
Anyways, if anyone wants to see my dub cast idea for the Index series, check out this post. |
Now that I think about it, the chances of Index being dubbed over here without being seriously gutted is slim because of the heavy
christian religious references in it. You know how butthurt some people over here get about their
christianity religion.
