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?

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. |

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! |

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..? |

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. |

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

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.

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. |
