Looks like a good cast. Looks like I'll be rewatching this show in dub.

I've heard almost no good things about this show but it's a good cast. Can't even remember the last time Shelby Lindley got a decent role in a dub. Guess I might as well see what all the fuss was about when I get a chance to see the dub.

I was hoping this series would do a lot better so GoHands could have another successful franchise where they can animate show featuring presumably action girls, but MAN this show is just botched. Mad

I'm actually surprised Coppelion gets so much dislike. I thought it was pretty entertaining and had a reasonably good time with it, but I didn't take it very seriously. I think with that mindset it's at least a bit better.

With this dub cast, I'll probably enjoy it more.

The casting looks great! Smile I think there's at least one name that I don't recall seeing elsewhere on the list...
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to watching Coppelion.

Oh boy someone licensed this show? I have a feeling they didn't actually watch it before the decision. While I liked the art and animation, at least in those few episodes I saw, the show was a mess.

Cassandra Lee Morris and Shelby Lindley? It's Ricchan and Mugi! (Alternately, Kyubey and Hitomi.)

The anime wasn't bad, but the manga is pretty fantastic, I wish Viz would license it. It's already translated on Crunchyroll so if wouldn't be too hard to do a physical release.

I have no idea who is voicing Ibara but the rest of the cast looks good, and the K-on! cast members are nice. I also really liked this series, and I look forward to re-watching it. And since it seems almost everyone else seemed to hate it, I should have no worries about what looks like the special edition being sold out. (then again, do Viz's LE releases ever sell out? This'll be my first non-Pokemon purchase from them)

I second that. Seeing as how they already got the series, I'm surprised Viz never got the manga.

I'm also (pleasantly) surprised that this is getting a dub, and am looking forward to watching it again. Kurobe and the Ozu sisters should be a blast to hear in English...

The manga is published by Kodansha, so it wouldn't be available to Viz afair. I'd love to see it in print too, but it'd be a hard sell for a print edition at 22 volumes and going (although the series seems to be winding down). =\

I know, and I can't wait to see it with hyperboosted colors, completely smoothed-out textures, and 60% more ghosting.

Erica Mendez @tsunderica · 6h
Guys, Erica Lindbeck is a real person, I swear.

Erica Mendez @tsunderica · 5h
Reading things online usually makes me want to grab people by the shoulders & shake them while screaming "NO." In their faces over and over.

Erica Lindbeck @ericalindbeck · 1h
@tsunderica Thank you for defending my honor. I am here to prove that I am, in fact, a real person.

And then this happened:

Erica Mendez @tsunderica · 36m
@ericalindbeck Spoiler: I created a second twitter account to throw everyone off.

Erica Mendez @tsunderica · 29m
Fun fact: I am actually @ericalindbeck AND @ErikaHarlacher. Don't believe me? Have you ever seen us all in one room? Didn't think so.

Voice actors have weird senses of humor.

Yeah, me too and the cast looks good, looking forward to picking it up.

I'd definitely consider getting them if they ever got physical releases since it seems a pretty common opinion that the manga is really good, like you said too.

If she was doing this to avoid spoiling who was playing because of NDAs, I think this would make sense.
