Oh, god. Bosch as Rossiu!? This will be a riot. Hope Ruff doesn't make Yoko too generic. STEVE BLUM AS LEERON. OH GOD, THIS WILL BE AMAZING. And Kyle as Kamina will be interesting to say the least. 8D

A few errors

Gina Bowes is playing Kiyal
Karen Strassman is playing Kiyoh
and It's Kyle Hebert not Herbert.

Besides high profiles like IGPX, since when does Hynden Walch do anime?!
Wait, she's in Haruhi?!?!
What's going on....

Dammit! Sci-Fi channel now requires a digital cable box even though it's just a basic tier channel. Now, I have to go to the other room just to watch it. What's really going on....

My, this is interesting indeed. Let's see, it was Bandai, so I guess it's not that hard for me to recognize most of the cast right there. Let's see... judging from past works so far...

Lowenthal as Simon, heh I can just imagine it already.

Kyle Hebert as Kamina? Huh... that's not so easy to think of... Kiba as Kamina. Probably would have to do pretty well to match Mr. Konishi. It will be an interesting thing to look out for.

Ruff as Yoko, that could work. Though it all depends on the finished product after all.

Regal as Viral, that surprised me.. greatly. JI dunno, I just didn't expect it I guess.

Bosch as Rossiu... like Renton Thurston from Eureka Seven?

Steven Jay Blum as Leeron.. Oh my, I think that's actually kind of a shock there. Considering the characters Blum has done before... I certainly didn't expect him to be playing Leeron.

And I barely know the other two, so I can really give my initial judgments at the moment. Hehe, this looks like a decent cast, so I think I'll enjoy this when it starts airing. Though Lowenthal has gotten quite alot of main character roles hasn't he?

There you have it folks, my opinion, if any of you care anyway.

Hmm, I haven't seen TTGL yet, but the dub cast looks good. I'm definitely not going to complain about Lowenthal as the lead.

The only that made me yell "NO" so loud I'm sure my neighbors heard was Bosch as Rossiu. Why? WHY!?

Starfire as Nia... huh... that's... hm, interesting. And I don't think Bosch being Rossiu is that bad...

I was kinda hoping Bosch would play Simon, he can do really good hotblooded yelling (like in DMC4 for example).

eh, I'm kinda not feeling the cast selection for the most part here, nothing against the actors, but I think this is gonna be one of those shows that you kinda HAVE to watch in Japanese, since if for nothing else, English actors can't approach hot blooded shows, since they seem to lack the reckless abandon the Japanese actors bring to the table.

Add to the fact that no English super robot show, IMO EVER comes close to the original....I think I'll stick to buying the sub only version, but I will check it out when it hits the Sci-fi channel.

Hmm, I think Bandai can work this out. I think the actors listed can play their characters well enough.

But how can the dub be ready by July 28th?
