My HiME dvds by Bandai

[The Bloodlust Kid]

I am interested in the dubb voices the most.
I saw the DVD in the store today. This is really bad for my wallet.

It's out already? Hmm...

Exactly what is the average price for the DVDs? I would go out and buy it but the minute I do so, I go into Miser Mode which I beat myself up until I regain 3 times the money I spent. Despite that I work a over-decent paying job.

if people want the VA's I will sit down later and pull up the credits

That would be great. I want to know who played Mikoto and Nagi. Because the only person I can imagine playing them is Wendee Lee and Stephen Prince.

I don't know what the "average price" for the DVDs are but you can get them on-line for less than $15 each.

Example, DVDPacific
Vol 1 with box $23.10, released on 28th March
Vol 1 $14.57, released on 28th March
Vol 2 $14.57, released on 9th May

Add about $1.50 for shipping within the U.S. Hmmm, that's only six weeks between the first and second volume. Total of 7 DVDs. BTW, you can usually get them about two weeks earlier than the release date if you pre-order.

Most online sites are saying it's out...

Damn... if only KH2 wasn't coming out in 9 days I'd get this >.<

Now I have watched ep 1, Mai and Takumi's voices are pretty fitting for their ages and nice voice acting.

Does that mean US studios are now hiring teenagers? Does that meam most of Japanese VA are teenagers?

Natsuki's voice is like a 30-something. I don't like Tate's voice acting. It makes him sounds too slow and calm, which is not his personality. Shiho is OK.

All online stores I've checked say it's out on the 28th. But still, how are all of you getting it so early? I pre-ordered it a long while ago, and have yet to see anything.

- Natsuki's voice actress, Chiba Saeko was born in August 26 1977....she's not 30 yet. GRRR....I can't believe I'm older than her. ...but at least I still look young

- Yuzuki Ryoka, the voice of Haruka was born in Jan 10, 1974...LOL I'm only 5 months older than Ryoka-san.

- Toshikiko Seki was born in 1962 so yeah he's getting there.


So yeah, most of the vo's range from early twenties to mid forties. Shindou Naomi (surprisingly) is up there....regardless I still think she's got a sexy voice.

Yes, they all have the release date as the 28th (if we take the My-HiME DVD Vol 1 as an example) but on-line stores seem to be "allowed" to ship pre-orders something like 2-3 weeks before the official release date. Clearly the DVD manufacturer supplies them to the Retailer early so they can be delivered by the release date.

I know that I get most of my pre-ordered DVDs before the official release date whenever I order from DVDPacific and that's even when they get shipped to the U.K. by Surface Mail! And this isn't just a one-off, it's been like this for years now.

Edit: I don't want to make another post since it's taking the thread off-topic as it is
To reply to Kumoitte below, RightStuff is a bit of an exception as far as I understand, they aren't really a Retailer nor a Distibutor but something inbetween. Due to this, I strongly suspect they don't ship early like most Retailers do but wait until the release date. Mind, I don't have any direct proof since I've never used them so it's all IMHO but from comments I've seen they seem to stick closer to the release date before shipping.

Is that so? I ordered from rightstuf. Ah well, here's hoping it'll come in within a few days.

Thanks! "Tack-umi". XD Shiho sounds really fake and annoying. "Teeheehee."

[Solace]

Somewhere, the Hime are rallying to kill the people who created those dubs. I bet they hired Nagi.

Hmm, they actually sound pretty good. Or perhaps its because I've yet to see the Cowboy Bebop dub...

[IchiKyo]

Ah!!! My Hears é_è

Uh....Jap Track and Subs for me only, thx! Ok Ok....Mai DOES sound "swell" and Natsuki is pretty good actually! ^_________^...the voice only I mean, her acting was a bit off.
I guess no Thumbs up/down then....maybe sideways? :P

[IchiKyo]

And he is more failed Voice... You can wait for our French Dub
It's more Failed XD

[EnseiSong]

AHHHH!!!!!!! My hears!!!! This is soooo bad....... Mai sounds like a b**** so does Shiho... TT_TT
Lines sounded all wrong... they add crappy lines to it and even changed lots of them..... NOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[Mirri]

Shizuru is a southern belle. It makes my head hurt.

[Starks]

UGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THE VOICES!

They are so angsty!

[Mirri]

They even called Aoi "Ooi"... The dub is just making me laugh with how ridiculous the voices are getting... I really dislike Nagi's voice the most, with Reito as a close second. Nagi doesn't have a voice that matches his attitude anymore, it's so depressing.

[Komataguri]

*cries* The voices...they make my ears bleed.
