7 billion humans. She must know I exist
So SAO is to be dubbed...
(I don't when it starts but there is a cast...umm part)
"what the hell man, Another great anime ruined by english :uh..: "
Basic Info:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo ... p?id=13858

Bryce Papenbrook is to play as Kirito
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo ... p?id=14137

Cherami Leigh is to play as Asuna
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo ... p?id=64331

To me.. This is bad... such a bad pair. I'm merely looking at the Actor's delivery.

This is to be a bust on my part.
What about ya'll? :tea:
 
^ Without voice samples I cant tell since I dont know these people.

EDIT: Found some

Bryce Papenbrook

^ This is so unfitting for Kirito since he's shown as a full-of himself guy, something that he really isnt. This guy will suck in the sad scenes of the anime.

^ Her voice sounds like 30-year old while Lucy is 17, she will probably use the same voice for Asuna since she's 16.

A total ruin :uh..:

and since their choice is so unfiting for the main characters, I dont want to imagine what happens with the supporting characters (Yui etc) :uh..:

Are you serious? She doesn't sound like a 30 year old at all.
 
Have a dub trailer. Mostly stuff from episodes 1 and 2.

Some people have had some trouble getting it to load, but waiting a few seconds makes it work for me.

Kayaba has some weird inflections that stand out (emphasis on the "online" in SAO in particular). The rest of the cast strikes me as... mediocre. It isn't good, but it isn't bad either.
 
Just watched it.. ugh took forever...

I can't accept this.
There is an "Emotion" in this anime that these V.As will not pull off.

It's just wasting money in my book.
 
Uh, the VAs for Kirito and Asuna really suck, Asuna's doesnt have the innocent feeling she's supposed to have in that scene she says "You're Kirito?" and likewise the male guy doesnt seem to put the seriousness neeeded for Kirito's lines, he said " I die in real life", as if he was saying "I've got an idea!" :uh..: :uh..:
 
The voice for Kirito should be good, but the acting, well, not that good.
I think it was nicely done for Akihiko's voice acting though, pretty decent for a standard anime in English dubs.
 
:notlistening:
dubs are never good imo
at least the dvd releases will have the original Japanese version
 
Thanks to @Raffaele_Megabyte
