ETA: Sorry, it seems non-USA countries' IPs are blocked.

Eh...still not keen on the dub. :/

It's really sad when I see a dub, and I despise all of the main character's voices. Suzaku was the best of all of them. I really wanna see what they do for his ore! form.

But Lelouch...Johnny you failed. Hard. He really needed a LOT more emotion in his lines. I'll admit the last couple were better (If he had screwed up the "Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you to die" line, I would have cried, but its not as bad as it could have been.) And his last line was okay. (I'll admit, the first time I heard Junjun say that line, I was hooked.)

The only voices I liked were Orange-kun's and Viletta's. Can't wait til Cornelia comes in, too.

I suppose I shall continue to watch, if only to hear all the great side character's voices.

(Oh, and the Badass Mother! line made me lol SO HARD. XD Oh, Kallen, what have they done to you? D: )

...NO PIZZA HUT? DX

I dunno. These guys have magnificent voices but don't voices contain a little too much of the...shall we say...over-the-hill (but still very much dignified and distinguished) quality for Lelouch? Mmmh...perhaps Gideon Emery would be good? Heck, even...what's his name...the dude who's voicing Lloyd...Liam O'Brien, was it? With his deeper voice, I think he'd be better suited (please note that I'm not trying to draw parallels with his Japanese voice. I'm avoiding it, in fact, cos in English, certain differences /are/ necessary)for the role.

Adding support for the minor characters + Suzaku. His flying kick is something awesome. I also think Clovis was exceptionally well done - sounded just as fake as he ought to.

Lelouch's lines were delivered weak though. He just lacked the charisma that drew me to Lelouch/Geass originally.

...am I the only one diggin' Orange-kun's VA at the moment? Crispin Freeman FTW!!!

Oh! And am I the only one who practically fell over laughing and squeeing when Jameson Price's voice came out of Zero's #1 Fanboy? XD

All in all, I'm liking the dub. It's only the first episode so I am waiting for everyone to settle into their roles more really. But I like it.

Makes me want to cry. :(

I guess the DVD's won't have Pizza Hut ad's either.

Lelouch's voice makes me want to cry. I don't like it at all. Still, I'll watch episode 2. Hopefully he gets better.

Oh my gosh, I was thinking the same thing during that scene XD

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

WHAT!? Ok, guess I won't be buying Bandei's DVDs >_>

[kittendreamz.livejournal.com]

I have to agree with your oppinion on Johnny. I think part of the reason his voice fell short, besides the feeling that he wasn't exactly suited for the role, was that it DID feel disconnected...as though he wasn't actually acting with someone. As a theater major...I know it makes a world of difference when you have someone else to bounce off of.

[hzuki.livejournal.com]

Same here..right after little Lelouch said "So help me" a little part of me died somewhere inside.

[fox-holland.livejournal.com]

The only character's dub I really liked was Reid's, Orange-kun, Clovis talking casually, the Special Ops Officer, and that Britannian girl in the crowd.

CRISPIN = WIN

But yes, you aren't the only one.

[meomnimi.livejournal.com]

>_> Lulu's voice sounds really flat... he did a better job as Vash...

CC's narration in the beginning sounded too cheerful, but Clovis did a great job.

One thing that annoyed the hell out of me was the way Suzaku's pronounced. I excuse everyone else saying his name funny, that is, every other Britanian, but if he's japanese then he would definately be pronouncing it the normal way.... suppose they cant be bothered...

and no pizzahut?! what happens when cc orders pizza then?!

[kihayo.livejournal.com]

I actually e-mailed bandai if they'll have the original imagery or not.

Lack of pizza hut is sad. ;_;

As for the dub, I am extremely impressed! Yeah, it's not the Japanese seiyuu, and chibi Lulu makes me want to cry, but I think they did a fantastic job. I'm especially impressed with Diethard and Clovis. Lloyd is very different, but it works really well. Not sure on Kallen yet, but Lulu isn't bad for not being Jun Fukuyama. Me thinks I will continue to watch the dub. ^_^

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

did you ever get it to work?
i was using firefox and it was ok.

hope it works...or hope you got to see it on tv maybe.

[chiapetzukamori.livejournal.com]

I was impressed with the dub....which I think says a LOT since I usually avoid dubs at all costs (so many fans of the Inuyasha dub yet I think it's one of the worst out there). The mispronounciation of Suzaku was to be expected - that happens ALL the time in dubs (just look at the Tsubasa dubs and the name murders there, Inuyasha even more :-p) But as far as actual casting goes, they did a fantastic job. Yeah, Lelouch sounds a little "soft" a lot, but his "I accept the terms of the contract" was veeeeeeery good (I won't say perfect, but it was close).
I LIKE Kallen's voice. So far anyway. That first line of hers sucked, but everything else she sounded just like I imagined she would in English. So I'm pleased. Everyone else sounded decent too - um, except C.C. She's tolerable, but the voice is off a little. I dunno.

OH yeah, and did anyone else who waited to see the dub on tv totally LOL when they rushed through the ending?
I was all "what the hell is wrong with the song?" and then when I noticed the images flashing by.....yeah. Classic. Made of fail, but classic anyway.

[may-neuma.livejournal.com]

I wonder how they gonna cover CC's love for Pizza for the rest of the series @_@ Dam, I don't see the negative rating option anywhere...

~M

[sugar-dustbunny.livejournal.com]

They did that with the OP as well. I got excited when the song was about to come on and then when it did, I was like "Wait--something is off!".

And the ending was awkward...seriously, it's only a few seconds more; Adult Swim isn't going to die because of that.

This person (http://www.youtube.com/user/ANIMESOULNL) on Youtube has it.

I noticed that a week ago when rewatching Season 1. To think Spinzaku existed for so long under the fandom's radar.

[furato.livejournal.com]

Generic no-brand pizza would do just fine.

great, thanks!
OH SHIT MELLO WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU?
