Not too shabby I guess. Andre's voice somehow sticks to my head after watching this trailer.

As I am or about to watch several broadcast dubs, I will marathon this series when it's dubbing is done.

I'm a little iffy on Andre and Meiko's voices. The rest sound fine, if a little less expressive than the over-the-top Japanese performances.

Andre's voice is awful, but I'm fine with everyone else.

I reeeeeeeally want to hear Hana, Mari, and the Chairman however.

This dub is ridiculous. Just as it should be.

Side note - I'm surprised they didn't go with Ian Sinclair as Gakuto.

I can't wait to see how well the boys will fare after experiencing all sorts of prison-related mishaps in this show. Smile I can't wait for the English version to be finished.

Not really feeling Austin Tindle as Kiyoshi.

His role as Kaneki is still fresh in my mind and while it's another leading role for him to perform, I would of preferred someone else.

Andre's voice bugs me for some reason, but everyone else sounds fine. Though considering what kind of show this is, I'm sure I'll get used to Andre's weird gremlin voice (which is kinda funny considering it's Sonny Strait and he's also the ADR Director).

Austin Tindle as Kiyoshi is actually the role I'm MOST okay with so far. Razz

Absolutely. One of the major sexual comedy anime of recent years deserves one. Plus, it is Funimation. They dub most of their stuff.

It deserved a better dub but unfortunately not meant to be... Crying or Very sad

Good read from some fans who are PO about it. Some great points made.

Twitter has some interesting reactions too.

Great anime deserved a better cast. Sad

At least fans can still enjoy the stellar Japanese cast. Smile

I think the novelty of broadcast dubs has worn off somewhat; a lot of disappointing dubs caused by rushed schedules and repetitive casting choices didn't help.

Looks at Tokyo Ghoul Root A, Death Parade, Blood Blockade Battlefront, Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan, Ninja Slayer the Animation, and the other Broadcast Dubs I've enjoyed.

Nah. The novelty hasn't worn off for me yet.

I know I'm showing up a lot, but I wanted to put up who I would've cast as these characters Smile

Austin Tindle as Kiyoshi (Can't think of anyone else...)
Ian Sinclair as Gakuto (I feel like Gakuto should have a slightly deeper voice)
Greg Ayres(?) as Andre
Akron Watson as Joe
Clifford Chapin as Shingo (Again, he's well cast already)
Jamie Marchi as Mari
Colleen Clinkenbeard or Stephanie Young as Meiko
Monica Rial as Hana (She's adept at flipping between cute and crazy with ease)
??? as Chiyo (To play Chiyo, you just have to have a cute voice. That's it.)
??? as Chairman (I have no clue who I would've cast as Chairman)

So guys, whadduya think of THIS cast? Wink
