I share Josh's sentiment as well. I however am not liberal when it comes to dub
voices. Ayame was the only one who passes. Kanna sounded awkward, as did Sumire. The
fake accents were dismal. Sadly I don't know how those accents should sound in
Japanese, but I do know Maria doesn't sound like a tool in the Japanese version.
So my question is, did they keep Kohran and Iris' native language speaking parts
intact?
There hasn't been a dub which has impressed me yet. Eva is passable but the so-called
good Slayers and good ST dub do not impress me in any sense of the word.
