I don't care about the English dub. I just need to own this in blu ray.

Releases usually take more than a year after airing in Japan but dubs are in production a few months after the last japanese broadcast pretty often these days. Exactly how fast we actually see them is another matter entirely but the production cycle for them isn't as slow as it used to be. Not surprised to see it ready for AX though. Odds are pretty good it'll be Blue Exorcist's replacement on Toonami so it had to be ready by August. I just hope the actually release doesn't come for awhile longer since that could potentially mean a SAO-like pricing model and while I love this show I'm not sure I love it THAT much... Curious how the dub cast'll turn out since at the moment it doesn't look to be a union dub. Out of BZ's current talent pool my ideal pick would be Amanda C Miller for Ryuko but we'll see what happens I guess (no clue who could play Satsuki based on that though unless we miraculously get Tara Platt) |

My mind just exploded. If only I didn't live on the other side of the country >.<
Since it'll be a Bang Zoom dub, I'm a little wary-- for me at least, they're usually a hit of a miss. The Japanese dub was beyond incredible in this series-- the dub will have a tough act to follow. |

Some Bang Zoom dubs are better than others like any company, but pretty much all of them are listenable IMO. I'm curious to see who they'll cast for this.
Glad this is getting a dub! |

Yes on Ragyo! For Satsuki maybe someone with a bit more authoritative voice like Cindy Robinson. Though keep in mind, there's always a new crop of VAs nowadays they could choose from!

Barring a miracle, it's guaranteed to be a non-union Bang Zoom dub. That means we can expect the typical group of AX idol winners, low-paid fandubbers, and a miscast Kyle Hebert. Also a phoned-in performance by Wendee Lee. Any other LA names that show up will be in supporting roles requiring less than two hours of studio time to record.

Seconded for Ragyo! Or third. ed. |

Just about the only thing that the Gurren Lagann dub can be used for is to demonstrate that karma is alive and well in the anime world: they screwed ADV so they got shafted with a craptastic dub. Kyle Hebert couldn't save it. Using Gurren Lagann's dub as an example kinda implies that the dub will be similarly bad. Which probably isn't too far off the mark as zany shows are far from Bang/Zoom's forte. ...if that fake "4kids dubs Kill La Kill" video were better than the actual dub I would not be surprised. It was better than the Gurren Lagaan dub. |

Oh I'm sure they could. Believe me, I'm far from what you'd call a "sub-elitist". If anything, I'm more on the opposite end of the spectrum in that I listen to dubs almost exclusively. No, the truth of the matter is that most dubs actors I don't have any real problem with. It's mainly just *HIM*. He is AWFUL. He has never been good in any show, under any director, for any studio, I have EVER heard him in. His voice is like ear cancer to me. And I'll be honest, I have to question the tastes of anyone who actually thinks he's good. He makes the old hokey Speed Racer dubs sound natural and convincing, for crying out loud.

I was thinking more of Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Satsuki, Michael McConnohie or Jamieson Price as Ira Gamagoori, and either Liam O'Brien or Crispin Freeman as Aikuro Mikisugi. Melissa Fahn can play Mako. Even with these VAs I wouldn't expect it to touch the Japanese cast, though.
I can't imagine anyone who could play Ryuko well. |

Even if you go by Ami Koshimizu standards her performance for Ryuko was just mind-blowing. Just getting remotely close to what Koshimizu-san did is going to be a difficult task. |

*checks wiki* Only thing I saw him in was MVC3 and he sounded ok there. With the Gurren Lagann comments, did anyone else like the cast had a lot of superheroes? Or did folks like them more as superheroes and not GL characters/not like superheroes? |

Aniplex does a good job with releases and I've spent a pretty penny on them (Garden of Sinners, Bakemonogatari, Madoka, etc.). I have to admit that I'm really hoping they don't go the Fate/Zero route where it will INITIALLY be around $700 for an entire series. I get that we pay a lot less in the states for anime and I am very grateful for that fact, so please no flames. I just honestly can't afford $700.
Hopefully they will go the Magi or Blue Exorcist route and it will only be around $200 for the entire thing. |

Those are actually really good choices; however, I think Mary Elizabeth McGlynn might fit Ragyo better, but then again, I can't really think of a specific person who would play Satsuki. Ami Koshizimu IS Ryuko; it'll take a really talented ADR director to find someone who can breath life into that role like Koshimizu. |
