I love Steven Foster's dubs. He brought us Saiyuki, No.6, and Orphen (1st season), those are fine amazing. Not sure why you people hate on his work. Oh, that's right, because most fans watch it subbed first and compare the two languages, and end up hating on the English when it doesn't "live up" to the said original.

No it's because the guy fifteens his dubs all the time. angel beats episode 1 dub has a different tone then the first episode of it subbed. voices of a distant star makes one of the two leads sound like he is an arrogant @*(#& and not quietly confident. watch guin saga and see if you can still think that, that show has a horrible dub because of script changes he makes to the show. |

So, uh, does anyone besides Key have an opinion on the dub for this particular show yet? Of the shows coming from him these next few months, I'm assuming this might as well be the "closest" to Mawaru Penguindrum tonally (or at least, I'm sure it's closer than Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere, Children Who Chase Lost Voices, and GotF), so I'm curious in what people who like this show think about the dub. I saw several minutes of the first episode dubbed, and it seemed fine enough, but then again, I didn't feel any prior attachment to the property.

Dammit. It was so unmemorable I'm getting my newbie loli-voicing seiyuu mixed up! |

guys, Foster only directed the first 12 episodes of Clannad. Janice Williams took over for the rest as well as After Story along with David Williams

Can someone please tell the supposed problem with the clannad dub because I watched it and it seemed fine I would agree that the adaptation does a good job for people who have not read the novels in quite a few places however I would recommend watching the first episode if you have not read the novels. because they cut out a lot of the second novel, and the first novel losses a lot of the social commentary on these people who are defined by society as useless actually being powerful (in some sense). the novels also don't objectify alice, and make her more then just a narrative tool. |

He'd better not screw up the new Grave of the Fireflies dub or else I'm going to ram my shoe down his throat and kick his balls from the inside. |

No you won't. You'll complain about it on the internet, which is the same as doing nothing at all. This kind of nastiness has absolutely no place here. You don't like his dubs and that, in your mind, justifies this kind of violent crap? If I see anything like this from you again, you're out of here. Again. |

Can we please talk about this amazing series and passable adaptation instead of steven foster please. (looks at blu-ray still in wrapping)
this series really does do social commentary on (atleast some) neets, and I hope that more people find out about it. P.S. the theme you single out is called teddie and the words are actually nonsense, though it is haunting. |

my problem was that it felt a little lazy at times, and a few characters were miscast. |

Examples? I don't agree with some of the knocks against Steven Foster dubs; for instance, I have watched VoDS numerous times both ways and never felt there was as huge a difference as people claim and I thought the Angel Beats! dub was just fine. And even with Guin Saga, the problem is really just with content that totals less than ten minutes of running time in the second half (although those few minutes were epically bad); most of the dub work and casting choices were perfectly fine. Those who are concerned about his more legitimate problem cases should not be concerned here, however. Worried about him changing dialogue? As I noted in the review, the English script is as faithful as it could reasonably be. Worried about the casting choices and performance? They're mostly good. Worried about him pulling stupid accent crap? He doesn't. |

most of angel beats is fine, the first episode though he pulled his normal 15ing trash that he likes to do.
