Not bad. A couple of the lines were delivered a little off, but overall I think 90% of my problem with it is that I'm used to the Japanese cast and so a different group of people performing it in any language won't sound right to me, which means they did a good job.

In before 9001 "OMG STUPID AMERIKKAN DUBBERS RAPING MAH GEASS" posts.

God, Yuri Lowenthal, it dosn't matter which voice you're using I'd follow it till the ends of the earth.

Wow, Suzaku doesn't sound bad! But oh geez Lelouch, I keep hearing Kuhn whenever he talks. -A- And C.C. sounds too .. high-pitched, I think? Well, could be better, could be worse, I guess. Thanks for posting this! ♥

LOL. The stresses were a bit weird at times, but I think that's more the fault of the language transition than anything.

Also, C.C. doesn't sound near mysterious enough. No real opinion on anything else.

I am amused that they chose to have the mindfuckery bits in the trailer. Inexplicably, naked people! (specifically, naked Lelouch and Suzaku, lol) Also, a bit spoilery, but that's speaking with hindsight.

it will take some getting used but pretty good, now i just hope my cable is fixed in time to see the premier on [as]

[phyrexians.livejournal.com]

Lulu doesnt sound like...sly to me D:. like how they messed up light from Japanese to english too. I agree with CC, she doesnt sound near mysterious enough, but I thought cornelia was good lool!

and suzaku's alright.

[tungwene.livejournal.com]

I liked Suzaku and Cornelia. Yuri Lowenthal is win!

Lelouch and C.C. though, ouch. I'm was hopefully optimistic about Johny Young Bosch's performance and I was intrigued how he would handle the role but it seems he sounds exactly the way he sounds in every other role and it's just going to be very weird for me having Lelouch sound exactly like dozens of other characters I've heard.

In terms of the actual contents of the trailer, yeah, interesting choices.

Haha... Pictured Lulu going "DEMONIC VOID!!!!"

[trinities.livejournal.com]

All I hear is Luke and Guy from Tales of the Abyss. So amused.

all and all YURI LOWENTHAL MAKES UP FOR EVERYTHING THAT MAY SOUND BAD *___*

[priestess-kaiba.livejournal.com]

I'm used to the Japanese cast but it sounds all right. I can't wait to see it this weekend! :D

[quentin-w.livejournal.com]

I agree, I've been spoiled too much by subs!

On a side note, I wonder how they will treat Nina XtableEuphie. XD

[corsette.livejournal.com]

Orz, Johnny, why didn't you go deeper? It's not bad, the performance in itself is really good. It's just... the pitch doesn't fit.

I... like C.C. Surprisingly. Suzaku's was good, too.

HOLY SHIT, CORNEILA. That. Is excatly how I imagined her voice. asjhjf ♥

[madhatterpan.livejournal.com]

...I do approve of Corneila's and was fine with Suzaku's. Oh, Nina, how shrilly you are.


...but man, I was wheezing with laughter at...well, you'd think they would've shown more characters with boobs instead of Lulu and Suzaku standing naked together, grabbing hands, and having friend moments.

[csakura.livejournal.com]

don't want to be that typical "everything sounds better in japanese" but i'm sorry...i can't like this...lelouch sounds like...well, like a sterotypical cartoon bad guy and suzaku's actor stresses his words unnaturally and...okay i'm done.

[telepathic.livejournal.com]

lulu and CC sound off to me. But otherwise it's ok i guess.

[zidane.livejournal.com]

Unf unf Cornelia is awesome.

C.C. could use some work, though. They need to tell the actress to sound more wooden, less confused.

[davidap.livejournal.com]

I agree with everybody above that Suzaku's voice is not bad. But, ugh, poor Lelouch sounds so out of sorts. I don't know, the voice just doesn't seem to suit him. Of course, I'm biased by having listened to the original for so long, but still. I wonder if the dub VA made any attempt to differentiate his voice for Lelouch when he's Zero and when he's just Lelouch, since it seems like in the trailer all that we get to hear or Lelouch voice is when he's Zero. That's one nice touch that I like about the Japanese VA for Lelouch is that he always does his voice a little different when he's playing nice innocent Lelouch, and then when he's Zero he sounds way more edgy, for lack of a better word. It's a nice contrast.

I already know that Orange-kun will be perfection. I can't wait to hear a trailer with his voice. Oh, now I love Crispin Freeman

Cornelia is perfect. C.C. sounds a bit too...cutesy? Like she's trying to be high pitched and young, whereas she should sound...aged.

JYB...I don't know about that yet.

The announcer guy is kinda irking me though. >.>

And the spoilers are totally unneeded. You are royalty! Well, thanks, now one of the major driving forces of Lulu's actions have been prematurely revealed.

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

Sounds okay, thought for some reason Cornelia made me laugh. 8D Yeah they picked some strange parts of the first season to reveal. Johnny's doing a fine job as Lelouch, despite the fact that I know it's rather hard to put English words on those mouth flaps. X_x He did try and lower his voice though, so, not bad!

C.C. sounds kind of drunk to me though... ><;;

[tigtogtag.livejournal.com]

...I couldn't even last ten seconds listening to that. Ah. Dubs. Dubbbbs. I am far too biased to even humor the thought.


EDIT: Tried it again. I will admit Suzaku's voice is pretty damn good. I can't get used to Lelouch or CC, though.

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

Lulu's- I don't like Jonny Yong Bosch.... He was alright for Ichigo.... But he was a terrible pick for Lulu.... (and no, this is not just cause I like Lulu's japanese VA better, cause I do, it just... doesn't sound right, not just for whats being said, just the voice in general).

C.C.'s- She sounds like a kid o_o I picture her voice being so much more mature, full of wisdom shes certainly not going to tell you unless you ask or its necessary.

Suzaku's- Alright. I'll have to hear more.

Cornaelia's- HOLY JEEZ, THATS PERFECT.

And Nina's seems ok aswell (even though she just screamed XD).

[gakupoid.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm starting to recognize Yuri too much now. xD When Suzaku started talking, all I could picture was Ryoji-kun from Persona 3. x_x

As for Lulu, as I've said before, I knew he could pull it off... However, he completely reminds me of a different person and I think I could end up really -hating- that.

C.C in the first trailer sounded MUCH better. I just hope the VA can pull off some of her more serious moments. Meh, that's really all I have to say at this point.

[ryosato.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaahahahahahaha... oh, dubs... you always sound weird. I'm sorry, but I will never understand the purpose of dubbing foreign film. Many countries don't do that, unless it's targeted towards children - which this so isn't. I think I'd be less bothered if dub anime voice actors were like normal American voice actors... but they don't talk the same way, or sound the same way, they have their own style, and it ALWAYS sounds freaking WEIRD to me.

I'll watch clips of Orange-kun, because Crispin Freeman is awesome. And hey, some of this isn't even BAD, just... obviously dubbed sounding. But not bad... except for Lulu. Oh god... no. XD;; Make it stop.

[hatsumomo.livejournal.com]

As much as I cringe at dubs, it's not bad at all. Only crap one is CC and Cornelia sounds a little too RAWR for my liking.
