with Corey Hartzog and Juliet Simmons capably reprising their co-starring from Akame ga KILL! (they voice Tatsumi and Akame, respectively)

Simmons voices Kurome, not Akame.

That's Seiji Kishi quality (adaptation) for you.

I've watched it with the Japanese voicing and I have to say Kana Hanazawa did a good, nuanced performance as Ryouko; that the character's flat monotone is affected comes through as her actual emotions are subtly audible.

I mildly disagree with Martin's take on the theme of individualism; I thought the leader of the "normality enforcers" eventually came across as quite cruel and domineering (spoiler[The blackmail scene finally hows how ruthless she is, does it not? This after the fake-out of her not being comfortable with the physical ruthlessness of the boy from her posse earlier in the film.]), and it's true that all the "dream soldiers" in the film are making a shallow pretense of being interesting people,spoiler[ which even the male lead accuses his counterpart of doing, which given his backstory is also self-criticism].
