But from what I've seen, the only decent voices were Izaya's and Shinra's. Shizuo's was butchered, Mikado's was... ugh, Kida made me want to cry as a Kida fangirl.

What? Crispin Freeman (Shizuo) was amazing, probably the best part about the dub. He's perfect for the role, as usual. I also thought Kida was well done, but, oh well.


I love Crispin Freeman just as much as the next guy does, but the voice for Shizuo needed that raw edge when he's screaming at Izaya. I didn't hear any of that. And the only time I actually enjoyed Kida was when he said, "Hoooly shit!" That was pretty good, I'll give it that.

Not that I think that all dubs are bad, but... I love the Japanese cast so much.


Actually, maybe that's it. I'm such a fan of Durarara!! and the Japanese voices. I'm not usually an open-minded fan.

I'm going to be honest here.
My first thought was "What the fuck are you talking about."

Im honestly absolutely baffled by what you could possibly be intending.

Oh, and I've been watching shows on Adult Swim for a long time now, and not once has FLCL came on x_x

They've been playing FLCL for the past eight weeks. This is the only time they ever show it, though.

Is Adult Swim still airing on Cartoon Network channel?

I was fine with the dub when I watched the preview -- I thought Izaya and Celty were great, sometimes more fitting than their Japanese counterparts, but a bit disappointed with Mikado -- so I'm excited for this.

THIS IS AWESOME. I've wanted to watch the English version since the voice cast has some pretty great names attached to it. I think DRRR will fit right in on Adult Swim.

This is one decision that might get me to actually want to watch some Cartoon Network again. But not now, they need to do a lot more after what happened to Symbionic Titan, or at least Adult Swim needs to be consistently as good as it used to be.

Also, I saw this news like a minute after finishing watching the series lololol.


even more lololol @ complaining about a dub that has Crispin Freeman and Steve Blum. Dawww people still think dubs are the same quality as in the 90s, how adorable.

Hope this is confirmed and not just a rumor because I just looked over all the characters and story. It sounds like it's will fit right in on Adult Swim but I wish it was replacing Cowboy Bebop or Ghost in the Shell. Those shows have been playing out their welcome and I really hate FLCL.

Great, although I don't live in the US and wasn't all that fond of Durarara!!. Don't get me wrong, it was ok, but it's a bit overrated if you ask me.

Well, I finally watched the dub and it's actually pretty good! Of course, I still prefer the Japanese though.

It's always nice to see more anime on TV even though I probably won't watch it. Although I never did watch Durarara!!, so I actually might try and catch the episodes as they air.

I'm glad Adult Swin picked up a new series, but what they really need to do is get much more air time. I love Bleach but one episode per week, Really??? I'll be old before I finish watching that series, Although I think the english dubs are great.
I actually think Cartoon Network is scared that Anime becomes something that americans actually enjoy more than those stupid cartoons, thats why they cancel, repeat old series and give one episode per week. :) Maybe I'm just saying.........It gets frustating.

I have all the Durarara DVDs so I don't have to worry about staying up late just to watch this on TV. But the good news is it'll get more popular which means my cosplay as Erika will be known more at future conventions!
A lot of people I met at conventions didn't even know if I was cosplaying as Erika!

Does anyone know when this happens to air on Saturdays? I looked on AS's schedule and DRRR wasn't listed as airing this weekend.

So two more weeks of Kekkaishi reruns before it gets replaced by Durarara!!
