Not quite yet sold on Norman and Ray's voices (I'm usually a bit more apprehensive on dubs that need to cast a lot of young boys anyway), but I'm excited to see how it turns out, particularly with characters we haven't heard yet.

Also, I think Erica Mendez is a talented actress, but man, Bang Zoom seems to cast her in major roles *a lot*.

The dub sounds pretty good to me so far but if you haven't seen the first episode and you want to go in blind, it's probably best to avoid this trailer until after you watch the first episode.

I thought Jeannie Tirado was a Texas based VA, since Funimation seems to cast her a lot. I guess she's moved to LA or something.

Pretty great cast. I had no idea Steve Staley did Director work.

She’s done a few LA roles recently; I think she’s moved, but she still does Funimation roles.

there are plenty of actors who do both Texas and LA VA work. especially in more recent years

Oh man. I've been holding out watching this till the dub aired. Glad Funimation is dubbing it, they're always good.

The dub is being made by Aniplex and Bang Zoom. Funimation is only streaming the show and for now they only have the sub.

Yeah couldn’t agree more. Erica is a talented actress and she’s only doing what any voice actor does of doing auditions and then booking the role but when a lot of LA dubs seem to cast her as the main or at the very least main supporting cast, it tends to get repetitive and takes me out of the show. There’s quite a few other actress that could have played Emma as well and give some other actress a chance to be the main character.

Happy for Erica for scoring yet another main role! The dub seems to be solid from the bits I've seen. Can't wait to watch it.

How the hell did AoA get the license to this show? Why couldn't funimation, viz, or heck even sentai get dubbing rights. I assume they will have home video rights too. We all know how that will work out.

They sure articulate and pronounce their words very well, but gosh they don't sound very natural. That would be perfect for an audiobook.

I'm so excited to watch this soon! The dub sounds great! Norman and Ray sound great, and I don't know anything about the actors who play them! Aniplex's English dubs are often very good, so I can't wait to see the final product!

...That said, I am kinda miffed Casey Mongillo isn't in the cast. She would have been absolutely perfect as Ray, and she really needs to do more work in anime. Oh well! I'm happy with that we got.
