I am unfamiliar with Clint Bickham, it is good to have Jessica Boone in a dub, Emily Neves is fine I suppose, but I hate the idea of Brittney Karbowski as Momoe. I like Karbowiski's work, but I think she was miscat in this role. I would have preferred an actres with a soft/gentle sounding voice. Monica Rial would worked for Momoe.
I want to support dubs by buying series with them, but it is hard to watch anime with dubs when the voices do not match the characters' personalities. I hope I am proven wrong, but, other than Boone's great choice as Kirie, this cast feels shaky.

Some voice actors/actresses have a way of surprising us with their unprecedented vocal range, so maybe the cast will actually turn out to be good.
Chances are Sentai's gonna announce the Tsuritama dub cast soon. I wanna know who voices who!

A soft, gentle-sounding voice?! Momoe spends half the show near aneurism. You're super wrong. This cast is absolutely perfect. Clint Bickham is the least experienced, but few VA's could pull off the double character play like Neves.

The dub cast sounds good. Brittney seems like the right choice for Momoe.
The extras included with this will be nice. Buying it for the CD(and the dub). I was on the fence about this before the CD that will be included was announced.
I'm still a little disappointed that the ending wasn't more like AnoHana's rather than us being trolled by Yuuko reappearing. Poor Kirie, she likely won't ever get the guy

Oh I didn't even know this was getting a dub. I finished this just a couple of days ago so this is a pleasant surprise. I like the cast although, the only thing I've seen with Bickham in it was Ef - A Tale of Memories/Melodies.

For Sentai, this is a great cast. Must be a fluke of some sort.
It's always great to see Jessica Boone in new shows. Whenever I think "oh, she's moved on", she gets cast in another show.

This is a marvelous series, one of my favorites for the theme, and the OVA that comes at the end is just as good as the series itself. I would love to see more of this, maybe another season...but at least we have this and now a dub. Well the cast does look ok, will wait to see how it comes out but as one poster has already said sometimes a VA can really rise to the occasion..and surprise us all.
I agree re supporting dubs, there aren't that many these days and it is important to show the folks back in Japan we still do support them over here.

I like to give dubs a chance, but I will still pick up this series regardless. Freaking loved it!

So I wonder what audio/video problems this release will have that Sentai won't bother correcting after they are brought to their attention? Hey Sentai, can you manage to release this without having a entire episode in mono like you did on Kids on the Slope? That would be awesome.

Am I the only one who first checked to make sure Steven Foster was nowhere in the credits?

Herpaderp derp derp. Considering Sentai's way-too-godd***-fast release schedule and rough-edged quality control, I think most anything is a bit of a crapshoot these days, Foster (whom I believe hasn't done a HOTD-type dub/script in ages) or no Foster. I know that Christopher Ayres hasn't made any impression on me much different from Steven Foster when it comes to directing the nearly word-for-word-with-subs dubs, judging by the clips from Hakuouki and eF: Tales of memories I've seen (which, frankly, haven't impressed me).
