I'm a little disappointed that they didn't get a male voice actor to voice Riki Naoe (I thought Sentai Filmworks is better than this). Greg Ayres as Masato might be a little miscast, but once I get the DVDs for Christmas, I see how that works. It appears to be Tia Ballard first role with Sentai Filmworks (as she's known to primarly work with Funimation). Tiffany Grant as Kud Noumi is an interesting casting choice. Seeing that she pulled a German accent in Infinite Stratos, I'm hoping she'll pull a Russian accent for this cute loli.

Tiffany Grant as Kud?

Too bad Kud isn't German. >.>

Actually, my reaction of Tiffany Grant as Kud is more of a WTF Casting.

EDIT: I can confirm from someone at ask.fm that Kud Noumi IS given a Russian accent (and the said person even gave me the audio clip of it). So the casting seems to be a bit more solid than I thought. I wanted to post the audio clip here, but I'm afraid of copyright infringement.

So here's the voices I have problems with... Masato (Though to his credit, Greg Ayers is at least trying), Kurugaya (Can't quite put my finger on it, but the voice is off), Kengo (Voice isn't deep enough), Kanata (Haruka is okay though) and Midori (Mio is a perfect fit though) Yeah... other then that I am fine with everybody else. Riki, Kyousuke, Sasami, A-chan and Haruka are okay, Komari is way way way more better (The biggest problem was that Yanase could not do the serious parts well at all, so this was great.) Mio is a perfect fit, Rin is perfectly fine (I quite like Karbowski) and as for Kud, while I admit her voice will take some more getting use to, I thought it was just fine. Different, but it worked for me. So five bad and nine good so to speak.

Oh and no "One frame Rin falls down in episode 9" anymore!
