Is that cover not an official cover? But props goes to Bandai for staying so true to the original! Although it looks a bit empty and plain. Perhaps they did not include the "Highly-advanced Materializing Equipment" above the title like in the Japanese cover?

I hope I can see some other dvd of mai hime/otome

Glass Cannon · 2006-01-12, 22:34

I'm buying this just so I can hear their english voices... oh and to support it of course...

CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THEY GAVE SHIZURU A SOUTHERN ACCENT ALA OSAKA!?

Oh god... *dies laughing*

A T-Shirt!?!

The sad thing is the dub already has so much stacked up against it. Shizuru is an immensely difficult character to translate over. Although it's a Kansai accent, Shizuru's doesn't speak in Osaka-ben - it's the (lovely) 'refined' Kyoto based one - they've got to be careful with any southernising as what they did for Osaka and Kitsune would produce the completely wrong effect (well in the case of Kitsune, that produced a terrible effect period heh)

What I mean is - Shizuru doesn't/wouldn't 'slur' like that, it's more...kinda....like....

Bah, I'm so biased but I can't see what they could do....

EDIT: Unless I'm wrong about this accent-thing, people feel free to correct me if I'm speaking unintentional lies.

Oh don't worry. She speaks in Kyoto, not Osaka. The Kyoto dialect is described as very formal. So she might use long words and no abbreviations.

Hmm...they could try a "British-English" accent? That's formal and well...different. Would go quite well with Shizy I say. (Runs to hide in a bunker)

I dunno....just swich over to Jap and subs. That's what I always do. The only noteworthy dub I can think of was El-Hazard, in fact it was better than the original Jap recording!

Sian · 2006-01-13, 06:48

... yeah ... a british-english whereas the rest more or less talk american-english

-KarumA- · 2006-01-13, 07:21

You know, that's what I always thought would be best for Shizuru as well. I usually trust Bandai and the companies they choose to make their dubs. I have faith in them for Mai Hime's dub cast, though a part of me feels like I'm just seeting myself up for disappointment..

...

On that note, I like to say offhand that I think Southern accents are also lovely and full of charm. ...But.. why is it that anime dub actors can never seem to get it right..?

Kensuke · 2006-01-13, 08:15

Oh boy, I think that this is going to my most waited DVD release ever, box and T-shirt looks nice.
AnimeOnDVD says that this is 7 volume release so for 26 episode series it means that the episodes are going to be released something like this: 4/4/4/4/4/3/3.
I will go for Shizuru's british-english accent, what could be more fitting for polite, tea-sipping lady, like she is in the beginning of the series. Even if I don't usually watch dubs more than testing how it is.

Wow...The response was not what I expected...I guess I can come out of the bunker now. I was afraid my fellow shizuru-holics would skin me alive.

Didn't ADV get that one Australian chick (Farscape) to dub Steel Angel Kurumi?
Maybe Bandai will come up with something too?

giu_2 · 2006-01-13, 12:01

yey=)
i WILL buy the dvd boxset

Sunsh · 2006-01-13, 13:32

Out in March?
Aww... still 3 months to go.. >.<

Catgirls · 2006-01-13, 13:47

I'll wait and see if they release a cheap "thinpak" collection. It's too expensive these days collecting individual DVDs. Thinpak collections are more my style...alas, they do sometimes lack "extras", but that's okay. I'm a cheap ass.

DeuceTrick · 2006-01-13, 13:53

Re: Shizuru's Dub

I wouldn't mind if they used, say, a southern belle's speech patterns. "Why, I do declare that Miya's forehead is the biggest I have ever seen!"

Kyoto-ben is graceful, but it's still a Kansai dialect, and Texan hick-talk is not the only kind of southern accent.

Re: DVDs

Definitely looking forward to these.

shikamarufoo · 2006-01-13, 14:01

The dvd pack is a must have for me. I hope they don't kill Shizuru's voice

.

imperialmog · 2006-01-13, 14:57

From what I can read the t-shirt says. "property of Fuka Academy". It seems a bit of a nod to various school shirts you see here.

Of course I know a few that would have a shirt saying they are "property of Shizuru".

Do Bandai generally release those? I know everyone's caught onto ADV's pattern of 'expensive individual DVDs then cheap thinpaks until people stop buying the individuals' but Bandai? Well, you can hope.

But um... why My? I might be alone in thinking this but My HiME looks kinda stupid >< Wonder if any bigger pictures of the box/shirt will get released... I know I'll be buying the DVD, I just don't know which version.
