This feels like one of those apocalyptic action shows that were popular back in the late 90s-early 2000s. On a side note, who the heck are these people dubbing this anime? I don't recognize any of their names.

I was confused at first, but from the looks of things it is a brand new studio, Iyuno Media Group, that has forgone using the usual California VAs that Bang Zoon! and Studiopolis use, and instead are using new/outside talent.

Those character descriptions get me SO HYPED! Male protagonist transfer student & bright, cheerful girl sound like such an exciting pairing. & so many buddies, you'd think it was Canadian.

I just recently finished B: The Beginning, and although it was all over the place, I still enjoyed it. Also the English dub was amazing.
From initial reactions I’ve seen on the internet however, it seems the English dub for AICO isn’t the best, so I’ll probably watch it subbed.

Still though, same day as Jessica Jones. That’s not good for visibility.

After watching 2 episodes Im sad to say that the dub is pretty bad. Feels more like they are not good at acting and just reading the lines. The dub is not from the same quality as all other studios. Its like they never dubbed an anime before... And that honestly pisses me off. The anime itself looks really cool and the animation is gorgeous, but yea Bones what would you expect? Honestly if it wasnt for the dub it would be amazing.

At least you made it to 2 episodes! There's no way I can stomach the rest after that really iffy dub showing.

It doesn't seem like a kids show, so you should probably go for the subbed version anyways, unless you can't read that is.

I can read, I just prefer dubs over subs...

I prefer English dubs, for the most part, I switched, the dub actors were trying WAY too hard, I cringed!

This dub is so bad that I couldn't even finish the first episode. What was Netflix thinking when they chose this dub studio?

Anywaaay, I'm 3 eps in now. Seems intruiging at least. A bit slow, with some painful monologues. I hope it ramps up soon. Looks great! That Netflix money is huuge for these productions
