I sometimes want to smack down Sentai because of these ridiculous, short dub samples, but good news: I like how Ms. Vincent-Davis sounds. Her voice sounds very similar to the Japanese seiyuu.
Now Sentai just needs to confirm Avenging Battle (and hopefully the OVA) before I order the first season. |

Terror dub info pops up: "This looks interesting."
Sentai puts a clip of veteran Kira Vincent Davis as a lead: "HOLY CRAP! STOP THE EFFING PRESS!" |

I'm sold. Pre-ordered.
And I'm VERY stoked that they decided to keep her child-like speech. Sentai dubs have impressed me a lot lately. |

Interesting choice. I typically enjoy her work, though I do share the sentiment that Sentai needs to offer a bit more in their previews to give a better idea of the performances.

I'm sold, happy with that short clip. And, I'm with angelmcazares, want to wait until Sentai confirm Avenging Battle (not too interested in the OVA) before I'd order the first season.

Does she really talk like that in the Japanese version?

Sort of....but it's not as "dumb" sounding in Japanese because of the way sentence structure works. I usually love Kira Vincent-Davis but the ...roughness on this dub sample is too much. Trying too hard, it sounds extremely unnatural. |

Yes, she does. So does Chaika Bodhan (Red Chaika) Im not 100% on Chaikas voice, I think Kira Davis would have fit better as Chaika Bodhan, but that may be due to Sentais infuriatingly short clips. Ill still by the set because i liked the series though. |

But, aren't you a dub hater? You probably never were going to be pleased with this dub anyway, regardless of how good it turns out. |

KVD is going to save the dub.
The child-like manner that Chaika speaks in was the biggest challenge for the English script. It's by no means perfect, but she's got it down as well as anyone could. |

In my opinion she just really doesn`t match Chaika. The voice is much too grown for Chaika. It`s not cute enough.

Which is why I like it. While I'm unsure exactly what you mean by unnatural, I've not come across many people that speak broken English that sound natural. To me, due to it being broken, it always seemed to sound unnatural. |

Simply speaking he is just saying it doesn't sound right. Yes Chaika speaks illetiratilly. That's unnatural in it's self. But he's referring to it just not matching Chaika. I also agree it just doesn't sound anything like how'd she'd sound it's not cute or young enough to be Chaika. Though I am not saying you can't enjoy it yourself. I think the voice actor has skill but just doesn't match the role. |
