Harmless Poll.....

[Chimble]

You know, a lot of people who comment on Tessa mention her voice….but hardly anyone specifies whether they are talking about the original Japanese version of her voice, or the English-dubbed version. The Japanese voice is done by Yukana Nogami, whereas the English voice is done by Hilary Haag. I know, I know, both versions are high-pitched and girly, but personally, I like Hilary Haag’s rendition of Tessa’s voice much better. It’s still feminine, but to me, it sounds less squeaky and a tad less high-pitched.

Because of this, I reckon that people who watch FMP! in it’s English-dubbed form are more likely to like Tessa than if they watch FMP! in the original Japanese. This is especially true when watching the series for the first time; first impressions are hard to break. Personally, I watched the first season in English, then re-watched it in Japanese with English subtitles. I’ve only watched Fomoffu and TSR in Japanese with English subtitles though.

Is there anyone here who agrees that Tessa’s voice is less annoying in English than Japanese? Or do you guys reckon the reverse is true?

let me break the tie for you..

I voted for Tessa for all the reason i have already said here http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...t=26459&page=6

[Seitsuki]

i would go with kaname as she seems to have more dignity... sneaking into someone elses bed just kinda scares me...

[bl4xb0x]

This one is a toughie.....

For all purpose reasons, I'd have to go with Tessa. She was cute, smart, and somewhat clumsy even the in the ship she helped design... I found all of those quite funny and a that gave her the edge against Mao and Chidori.

Chidori, well, she gets on my nerves a bit too much. She has that somewhat annoying factor that irks me a bit when I watched FMP. when I watched it, she seemed a bit over the edge for me. The Captain is Tessa really seemed to shine while Chidori seemed to... be... a bit much as a character.

Mao may be kick ass, but Tessa is still the top in my book.

*rubs eyes... Tessa is ahead in poll?!

Wee!

/parties

[rooboy]

Mao just barely edged out "I'm tired of this stupid poll". That gap gets smaller and smaller each time one of these polls pops up.

Personally I find Mao the most interesting of the three, but it's a little silly to include her in the poll since she's not really part of the whole thing. The real question (as ever) is which do you like better: Tessa or Kaname? In that contest I think I'd have to give Kaname the edge, but just by a razor thin line.

Well, the newest poll is the other one (first post dated December 2005), the voters are almost equal, and Tessa is behind by 13 votes. Maybe I should bump the other poll and campaign a bit

Well, due to rank, I'm sure Tessa feels (at least) that she shouldn't

its a spolier from FMP SR

Spoiler for FMP SR:

Sagara has no feelings for Tessa is evident they end up having a fight/argument , he even gets indirectly discharged from duty after he is seprated from Kana worrying about her .

[G_O_P]

guys. I keep getting tired of seeing Chidori or Tessa in pretty bikini's and swim suits. The only time you see mao is the last eps of FMP1, and the hot springs one in Fummoffu. Give mao a chance!.

She is damn fine.
Busty as hell(even in that AS suit).
and she's good in battle, a good joker, party person, and yeah.
