Lisanna's pronunciation in Japanese i think is perfect, so it was odd hearing it in the dub, since it sounds more like lasagna.

Other than that, I'm okay. It's nice hearing Lucy, Happy and Gray pronounced like their origins. I wondered how Erza's name would be pronounced; i thought they may switch the sound of r and l and it'd sound like "Elza" lol. I would actually have liked that.
Well, I think the way they pronounce Lisanna's name better rolls of the tongue. Still, "LOCK-sus" is not the first thing I'd call Laxus. As for Erza...well, the same phonetics can apply for names like "Ernest" in English. Plus there have been accounts where "Ernest" is spelled "Erunesuto" in Japanese, like "Eruza".
