It's deep, but to my ears it ain't quite there with the Japanese voice. Maybe seeing more of the dub will change my mind. |

I'm not very impressed by this but I think I'll give the first episode a try to see how it goes~

Gonna wait for the UK or Australian release. Aniplex's price policy stateside is too much for the likes of me.

The English dub sounds a lot better I expected. The only obvious weak point for me is Gamagori (but to be fair, the Japanese voice wasgoing to be very hard to replicate), as well as Satsuki sounding like she doesn't care.
However, Aniplex can do one if they think they can split the series over five volumes. I'll wait to see what Anime Limited's UK release is like. |

Anime Limited UK have announced their release will be split over 3 parts in late 2014. |

Putting aside all the complaining, as a matter of curiosity, how did this different pricing model even come about in the first place? Why are American releases so cheap to begin with?

Because anime TV series will always be compared in terms of price to TV releases for US live-action shows or even cartoons. |

I'll give them one thing: Nonon's voice is actually BETTER in the dub. Other than that... Eh, have to wait and see more.

The dub is... eh.
To be fair, the original sub for Kill la Kill is beyond amazing. Alex Von David is such a hit or miss for me. I liked the dub for SAO, Lucky Star and Haruhi Suzumiya, but the dub for Madoka Magica is just okay. Right now, the only voice that I think is really spot on is Nonon. Who knows, maybe the dub will get better as the show goes on -- you can't really judge an entire dub solely on the trailer. Ugh, so the first four episodes are $40? Really? This isn't 2004, where $40 for a 4 episode DVD was common place, I'm pretty sure Kill la Kill is popular enough where they can release at least six episodes at a time and still make a profit. The standard DVD for Attack on Titan is $40 and that has half the series! This is the EXACT same situation with Madoka Magica, where you have four episodes per disc, all around $40, so all together you'll spend $80-$100 on the show, and that's if you get the STANDARD DVD, and what's even worse, is that I bet they won't even release a "complete collection" version of the show after all the DVDs are released -- which is exactly what happened with Madoka Magica. From now on I'm just gonna cringe whenever I hear that Aniplex licenses an anime that I like -- means that I won't be able to buy it -__-
Oh yeah, this definitely had to be rushed. I've been noticing that most dubs for popular shows come out about a year or a year and a half after the original premiere of the show. It's been what, two months since Kill la Kill ended and Aniplex is already whipping out a dub? So this had to have been dubbed while the show was still airing back in January or February, or heck, maybe even back in late 2013 when the first half was still airing. |

*exhales breath after finished watching video*
...I liked it. I wanted a curveball, and Aniplex threw one. Erica Mendez makes a pretty nice sounding Ryuuko. And Casca as Satsuki? Did not see that coming. Kinda guessed and hoped Squid Girl would play Mako, and I'm glad that notion came through. Good on you Christine. David Vincent could take some getting used to, but Senketsu was a tough character to get right. Heh, completely forgot he needed his own voice over. Funny. Everyone else seems fair game. Guess time will tell in the long run. At first I felt the prices seemed pretty fair. I mean, Limited Edition Blu-Ray and DVD for $60 sounds like a fair deal for, say, seven episodes, especially by Aniplex standards. But then I looked on the website. Episodes 1-4. Shit. Fate, I'd barely given a shit about (unless it had Carnival Phantasm). Blue Exorcist, overrated. Even Madoka got tiring after ten flipping AMV's at one con. But for Kill la Kill? Aniplex got me by the balls. Clamped. |

Sums up my thoughts quite well. The Japanese cast was really strong, and their indivual performances were REALLY good, but together they were simply outstanding. It's gonna be hard to touch the greatness of the original, but i'll be checking it out. And depending on what Anime Limited includes I may get their release instead. The wait is painful, but I know they'll only bring high quality stuff. Recently AoA have been going a bit cheap on their physical properties... Not even a booklet for this one  . I'm wondering if the art box will even be a proper box, or just flimsy slipcase paper...
