When I first heard the dub, I thought it was okay, but then it grew on me and now I love it just as much as the Japanese version, and I honestly don't get what people find so wrong with the voices aside from a few weird-sounding lines here and there
Also, the dub should stay consistant through all 6 DVDs, since, as has already been mentioned, FUNimation's only producing the DVDs for Geneon and is doing nothing to the dub at all I'm pretty sure FUNi doesn't have Kai, but I think they've said they'd consider picking it up if the first season sells well |

I've definitely heard worse when it comes to dubbing, I actually learned to lower my expectations a lot when it comes to this... so I guess when I first heard the English dub of Higurashi I wasn't really turned off as much as other people were. I still prefer and watch the Japanese version, but the English dub still isn't anywhere near the worst that I've heard. @_@;

Yeah, I like a lot of the fandubs. If only they weren't just clips, eh?
Even though it sounds a tad too old, Satoko's dub voice is really growing on me. Same for Frederica. Rika's, Rena's, and Oishi's probably never will, but life goes on. Satoshi's wasn't the worst, but I don't like it very much. It sounds similar to Keiichi's, but a bit deeper, I think.

Eh, I'm not a huge fan of most fandubs. The mic quality for a lot of them is ussually pretty poor.
Anyways, I like the Geneon dub for the most part. The only voice I'm not a huge fan of is Rena's and that's mostly because it sounds like she's struggling with the voice a bit. Of course, that's only by judging from the first disk. Normally dubs tend to improve as the actors settle into their parts, so I'll have to see how she does on the next disks. LOVE Keiichi's voice by the by. It's wonderful how his voice kind of cracks when he's in "freaking the hell out" mode *laughs*. |

Uh... this isn't bumping, is it?
Anyway, I got the fifth DVD today (no digital camera or scanner, so no pictures. Sorry.). It included a mini poster of Shion facing away from Satoshi and kind of had a magenta background. +Good acting from most of the characters, though sometimes the wrong emotions were used for the wrong scenes. -Shmion's laugh hasn't improved. +Satoko's final speech was done very well. -Unless I misheard, Rina didn't call Rena "Reina." -Satoko's VA still can't do her trademark laugh properly. +Rika vs Shion was done pretty well, though Rika didn't call Shion a sadist. -Everyone but Rena seems to pronounce Satoko "Sadoko."

BestBuy has an anime section. You can get pretty good deals online like Mistypearl said. FYE I have found to be really expensive, but Best Buy is not much better. Sometimes they have good deals on old classics nobody wants

Being in Japan, I'd like to ask a question: Do English dub voice actors/actresses have their radio shows about the anime or have fan events promoting the anime?
This is one of the interesting parts of the Japanese anime industry - there are lots of tie-ins to promote the sales of the DVDs. Do Anime released in the US have such promos? Or is just based on fansub popularity? |
