New cast looks pretty good. Too bad the show isn't on The Anime Network, I canceled my subscription because its really lacking this month. What happened to showing new dubbed anime before its release date?

In the past The Anime Network would have new dub anime over a month before its release date. It doesn't look like they changed it where TAN streams on release either since Majestic Prince part 2 was released today but not on TAN.

It seems like they have really changed this month. Maybe to increase DVD & Blu-ray sales?

Nice i cant wait. However i still wish for a proper sequel on season 2 though. I bought this anime without even ever reading anything about it or watching a trailer. And god i didn't regret it. Awesome story. Anyways seasons 3 please next! Or... some say this is kinda season 3 after like 6 episodes.

I'm sure some are going to be pissed with the new cast but unlike Prisma Illya the cast actually sounds pretty good. Plus after Watamote Emily Neves has already become my favourite Sentai director.

It's a good thing there's at least one director at Sentai I can trust with making a good dub (Assuming this one is good). Even the best people from ADV days have put out a fair amount of truly awful stuff.

I got my copy like a week ago and have already watched it, so that kind of takes away all my enthusiasm for this announcement. Laughing

This cast is compliant with the Brittney Karbowski Full Employment Act of 2008.

Jessica Calvello as Suigintou should be interesting to hear; I wonder how she compares with Karen Strassman's original performance.

mmm... I'm not trying to bash the new dub before I hear it, but...

Why a new dub? Why couldn't they use the same cast members from the previous two seasons? Couldn't they get Mela Lee to reprise her role as Shinku? I guess Cristina Vee is busy with Sailor Moon right now, but to me she'll always be Kanaria =(...

Outsourcing to Bang Zoom is likely more expensive than dubbing in-house.

that didn't stop them from outsourcing when they released the Persona 4 anime so I'm not sure what the deal is right now but I'm not complaining since I like the majority of these actors

What did this act entail. Speaking of Brittney, she'll always be Ayu to me.

Like they did with the OVAs for Rozen Maiden and for Unlimited Blade Works.

My guess to the whole Fate and Rozen Maiden re cast is because both are in different universes with no barring on what happens/happened in the other shows. Thus, Sentai saw that as a loop hole to not have to reprise the dub casts for either shows. Neither Fate/Kaleid or this Rozen Maiden aren't canon to the main storyline (this one is based on it's own a spin-off manga).

Sort of like if Rock Lee was re casted with different VA's from Naruto. In the end the show is it's own and isn't really connected (except by characters) to the main story.

It just will feel really weird with the inconsistency of the voices... if you were to watch the first two seasons + the OVA, than watch this... it'd be a little bit weird.. unless they somehow manage to capture the same essence the first dub cast had.
