nice, a good cast and a good director, but who's the script writer? Really hope it's not Tatum

I figured Monica Rial would get Ginko since both her and the Japanese VA also did Himari in Penguindrum.

Third time's a charm for a solid English dub for an Ikuhara title, right? (not counting Sailor Moon)

Good luck on who ever is doing the script for this!

Seems like a solid cast. It's good to see Monica Rial gets a chance to be in an Ikuhara show when the rest of the cast aren't lackluster, and of course Colleen Clinkenbeard, Jamie Marchi, and J Michael Tatum are always welcomed additions.

Gao gao, Shabadadoo, and Kuma Shock.

Good cast, though I'm kinda surprised Marchi is Lulu. Sounds more like someone Rial would voice, but I can see it. And Tatum as Life Sexy is a nice choice. Heck the Japanese voice already sounds like him.

Kinda disagree since 2 of them are already in Rolling Girls. Even Monica is back again? At least its not a blonde or red hair, then I would suspect a curse under Monica Anime hyper.

Some twitter user keeps pointing out that he sees Jamie Marchi as the confirmed scriptwriter. Though I'm taking it with a grain of salt unless I'm proven wrong or correct.

Well, you knew that was coming. So I guess we're hear an official release announcement over the summer.

A great cast without a doubt, but for some reason I am not sure all the voices will be adequate fits for the characters. I want to be proven wrong and have the dub by my preferred form to rewatch Yuri Kuma Arashi.

And I suspected all along that J. Michael Tatum was going to voice the "sexy" guy. Great choice Funimation!

Recently? You either have been living under a rock for the past 5 years or have never heard a Sentai dub.

Yeah, I suppose it is mostly on my mind because of the recent string of broadcast dub announcements.

Casting the most visible, openly gay voice actor in the west as a personification of the Male Gaze and straight-guy lesbian fetishism? Perfect. I love it.

I just hope we can get a reasonably faithful dub script for an Ikuhara show for once. Can't be worse than Utena's at least.

Awesome cast. I think there's even a seiyuu that I don't recall ever seeing in the past, so that's an excellent bonus. On top of that, it's great that Colleen Clinkenbeard is back- it's been ages since I've heard from her as Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail.

Ah, yes...The English version of Revolutionary Girl Utena...Man, those first 13 episodes of it were a serious train wreck. Neutral

Glad Josh Grelle is in this. I think he'd make a good Life Beauty. I was really hoping for a preview though so I hope that's coming soon. I also don't really like Monica as Ginko, but oh well. I think this will be a solid dub though.
