One thing I don't quite get is why they've got tsukiumi talking in old english and crap (using words like didst and thou) was she talking like that in japanese?

This dub sux....big time, it's filled with all sorts of nonsense, lucky it still has the sub with the duel audio, i.m from the uk and i can confirm, that Tsukiumi, Shakespearian English is around 300 years out of date, not that it would have made any sense, even back then....

nope they just messed up big time as usual as expected from english duuubbbbbbbbbsssss
XD
rarely though they got it right like in DBZ or Hellsing

Yep, the voice for misubi is ok, and kuu is "meh" but the rest are horrible, Tsukiumi's and Kazehana's in particular.

Like I said before, they've got tsukiumi talking in old english, and there's not much anger/emotion in the acting (which kills it for me,lol) And w/ kazehana it's the same, though I think the woman who does the voice might be Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who voices the Major in GTIS and Cornelia in Code Geass, so while her voice is sexy/perfect for those characters, it totally screws up the character in this case. It basically turns Kazehana from a fun loving party girl into a bar hopping/hard drinking cougar,lol

But like ALU said, it is dual audio

It basically turns Kazehana from a fun loving party girl into a bar hopping/hard drinking cougar, got to say i.m in complete agreement with you there, but the thing is i paid good money for this $29.99 plus shipping to the uk, totally upset me.......but you live and you learn.... try b 4 u buy....

[stangace20]

yeah I paid the same, but I went for the economy shipping (like $4) but yeah, I guess that's what I get for paying sight unseen. I'm not shelling out for S2 since I've all ready got it all on my PC

Me neither, i'm still in shock as to how poorly dubbed this Season 1 is, it's taken me all this time, (got it on, pre order), just to watch up to ep7, (dudded) turned on the original audio, and watched it all (couldn't miss the fanservice...lol) not that i got it for that ...lol...
