Just something i thought would be interesting to talk about. ^^

(almost) everyone who's seen the dub for the show thinks it sucks, but I kinda like it. I will admit it's not a great dub, but it's not a terrible one either.

what do you think?
"everyone knows that the last toes are always the coldest to go."

I like it for the most part, but it does have some truly cringe-worthy moments.

hey man i've heard worser dubbed voices before, rika isn't one of them to be honest. I said she wasn't bad, not great, that's far from it! Just decent, that is it.

The dub is by far one of the worst ever. Keiichi's voice is just terrible, and Rika...

:| <-- Not impressed.

I think the dub is done better than most dubs. But ofcourse I prefer the original Japanese voices. However the police investigator annoys me in both the Japanese and English with his voice. It's horrible to listen to.

Yeah, ignorance is bliss. It's an abomination. Listening to the first (post-credits) scene of the dub seriously caused me physical pain.

I actually like the dub because it allows me to watch it and not read it xD but i will admit its not the best dub out there and i cant stand Rena's voice and Ooishi. I think people should stop complaining about it. Because there is a dub it means we can buy it which makes both sides of the sub vs. dub was happy since it comes with BOTH! : ) I hope they dub the second season soon, i want to put it on my shelf xD

The voice acting I'll have to admit was a little better in the sub but the english dub does a better job at translating than the subtitles do.

I think that the dub's not that bad, and can be good at times. Especially Megan, Andrew, George, Mena and John. But the thing is that the original Sub is a masterpiece as far as voice acting goes and the Dub cannot hold a candle to it.
