Seriously, it's happening whether you like it or not, so please get over it. |

This is just silly. The dub isn't going to destroy the show, especially since its only airing on a niche network few people get, and most that do get it won't even know it's on there. If one can afford digital cable, and can afford to add MNET to their package, then they certainly can afford the $6.99 it costs to watch the show subbed on Crunchyroll, or hell, it should be free to watch with ads.
I thought she'd end up being Umi, honestly. Umi and Mio seem fairly similar, so I'm surprised they didn't go that route. |

I'm not sure if anyone has played it but Vee actually voices Monaca in Danganronpa Another Episode. I was stunned when I saw that was her as I thought it sounded almost identical at times to Christine Cabanos so I think she's definately capable of pulling off the cutesy voice as she did a great job in that game
Heres a clip of Vee as Monaca for those who want to see her voice a higher pitched role, I timestamped the video and there are some slight early game spoilers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DFW94Q-0xM#t=3m48s Last edited by DuchessBianca on Fri Feb 05, 2016 6:35 pm; edited 2 times in total |

Cristina Vee's been around for a long time - I'd be surprised if you've never heard her unless you don't watch many dubs, but she's had major roles in some major franchises like Madoka (as Homura), K-On (as Mio), and Sailor Moon (as Sailor Mars in the more recent Viz dub). She sang all the versions of K-On's songs that got English translations and did a good job with that, but I'm having trouble picturing her doing Kotori's voice because all the roles I've heard her playing were lower-pitched characters. Like I would've pegged her as a perfect fit for Umi. Xanthe Huynh is the other one I've heard quite a bit (along with Vee and the other two you mentioned). I wasn't a fan of her K-On performance - thought she went too far into the falsetto range with that one - but she was fine in Madoka Rebellion and Nanoha and I liked her a lot in Yuki Yuna. She does a lot of "cute" voices, so she should be a good fit for Hanayo. At the very least, we should expect a really good "Someone help meeee!" from her. |

I think it would be better if they put it on late-night Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon since a lot more people get those channels. Also, in doing so, they could get more viewers.

I dont see where they could play it on Cartoon Network. The only anime they air during the day is kids anime series (Pokemon, for example ; i think its the only anime they air during the day) and as far as late night goes, pretty sure Love Live isnt edgy/action-y enough for Toonami. Well...unless they pull an April Fool's prank (not gonna lie, I think that would be a humorously mean prank). But outside of Toonami, they dont air late-night /evening anime that isn't DBZKai. Adult Swim takes over the CN channel after 7 or 8pm. |

To add to that, Toonami on Adult Swim doesn't start until after midnight and it's only on every Saturday. |

Some people that I was expecting and am happy to see on the cast list. Also, Caitlin Glass is a pleasant surprise. I know she has been in some other things recorded in LA lately, but I'm still pleasantly surprised. When I was ordering my sets I was a bit concerned that the cast hadn't been announced even though the sets were coming soon, but they look nice and the premium sets are priced pretty reasonably, so I went ahead and ordered them.

Just wanted to say that Festival is the mobile game, while Project is the anime. |

I've heard OF Cristina. In fact, I've met her twice at different anime conventions. But I haven't actually heard any of her performances. I'm not interested in any of the 3 shows you mentioned xD (Well, I'm interested in Sailor Moon, but waiting for the hype to pass so it goes on sale hopefully) |

Just watched the first episode, and the dub wsnt too bad. Gonna take a bit to get used to their voices before I can make any real judgements on them.
...but not too keen on them (MNet) cutting off the ending song for the episode. Please don't tell me they will do this for the future episodes.

Dubbed idol anime... Just doesn't seem right at all.
And it's quite amusing that NISA, by official statement, wants to retain the authenticity of the series by keeping the songs in Japanese. Hearing someone speak English and then break out in Japanese singing doesn't exactly feel authentic  .

Heh!  Well it's not like I'm a particular fan, though I'll admit I can't remember ever disliking her in anything. She just seems to coincidentally keep popping up again and again in a lot of the shows that I watch. I just borrowed Squid Girl from one of my friends, and when I checked the dub cast, sure enough, she's in that one too (so is Xanthe Hunyh). Also video games - the first time I ever heard her in anything was actually in Sakura Wars New York for the PS2.

Probably. And yes, while Love Live might get better viewership on another network, it wouldn't have an audience. The only thing that makes this not fit on MNet is that it's a Japanese cartoon. |
