There's all this uproar about how they pronounced Britannia... I didn't hear anything wrong with the way they said it. How else are they supposed to pronounce it? BUUUURITANNNIA.

Oh hell no. Adult Lelouch sounds like "Jonny Yong Bosch as Lelouch!"

I'm usually pretty easygoing about English dub actors, but I've gotten a bit irritated lately with the whole "take a sexy male lead character's voice and make it into a higher-pitched high school student voice--'cause . . . he's in high school, ya know?" thing. (Can anyone say Light?)

Half of Lelouch's charm is his ability to portray himself as someone much older than he is--and the way he does that is with his low voice. It seems that BANDAI is following the trend of using high-school-sounding dub VAs, darnit. I'm not convinced that JYB can pull this one off. I'm afraid he'll end up sounding like Ichigo.

Not all the blame can fall on Bandai. The Japanese production team had a hand in picking out the English cast. =/

I love japanese vioces soo much better, still these USA ones do not seem so bad. Even though I think Clovis his voice had to be gayer xD and I don't think Suzaku's voice really vits.

:x I'll never have to deal with these voices anyway. I hope it never come here, I totaly know which voices they will be useing for the charatcers >< it seems the Netherlands don't have more than 10 voice actors '¬¬

Wow I'm actually pretty suprised, I was worried about Jonny doing Lelouch's voice. But from what I saw, it wasen't that bad. I can't judge Suzaku's voice though because I couldn't really hear it. >.<

Overall I can't wait to see the dub, I'm pretty excited now! ~<3

This is entirely redundant compared to what everyone else's comments, but dude, I'm strangely impressed!! O_________o I kinda like the dramaticness, even though the narrator's just gotta go die. XD Johnny sounds GOOD as Lelouch, or as far as that one line goes. I'm surprised he can pull off a deliciously dark character like that but man, do I want to see more. XD

Wait, was the girl in the beginning C.C.? O_o She sounded so... innocent. D: Good though.
