In other words, typical Aniplex dub: Skimp on the voice work, but overcharge on everything else. |
I am guessing Cabanos voices important roles because Bang/Zoom does not want to pay more money to a better voice actress.
And thanks for the scoop SpacemanHardy. I had no idea Aniplex was also in the business of English dubbing. Good for them.

Whatever the case, there's a 99.99% chance that the Aniplex release won't be worth it, since they don't seem to know that only great shows are worth Aniplex's normal price points, and SAO is really too generic shonen for them, it more Funimation/Viz's area, IMO.
Anyways, waiting for a price for the DVDs/BDs, so I can either laugh at the absurd pricing or be incredibly shocked that AoA is releasing things at standard American prices (like that'll happen). |
The subjective qualities don't matter as much as what it sold in Japan, and what Aniplex knows of the size of the Western fanbase.

Consensus? It's "meh" at best. Bryce Papenbrook is as over-acting as ever, and the narrator sounds like he's bored. Cherami sounds decent, but there's so few lines in her from the trailer that it's impossible to judge.
From the single line that Klein uttered, he's either voiced by Kirk Thornton or Keith Silverstein, so either way he should be fun to listen to.
The rest of the actors they announced didn't have any lines, but considering they're all of Bang/Zoom's "new crowd", I don't have very high hopes. Can someone PLEASE tell me why Christine "My Tiny Shrill Voice Has No Force, Punch Or Life To It Whatsoever" Cabanos gets so many important roles again?!?!

I'd rather have Cassandra Lee as Asuna.

Hey, not my fault you're a fan of a bad actress.
Could be worse, though. You could be a Darrel Guilbeau fanboy.
In which case, I'd be the one hunting YOU down to put a cap in yo ass.

for a trailer, it sounded alright. there's never really much to go on with these things, so im going to wait until we actually see a few entire episodes before making a final decisive judgement. didn't Kirito's Japanese VA overact that dying in the game line as well?

hunters will be the hunted mane, it feels good to two average VA to have a buckload wide range talent and a good resume.
Better sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite mane.

I think so, overall it's well for the trailer part now first episode has been shown Sakura-con and willing to expect to be good unless any circumstances it shouldn't sub-par as usual.

I think I'm one of the people that exactly applaud Bang Zoom for getting some new voice actors as opposed to using the same too-recognizable actors in their basic roles. Plus, I might watch the show again once in dub format considering I wasn't a fan of the series.

A piece of s*** like Sword Art Online gets the dub and LE treatment while actually good shows from last year like Kuroko's Basketball and Natsuiro Kiseki haven't so much as a license.
Sigh. I just really hope this doesn't make it to Adult Swim or something.
Oh, uh...dub sounds okay, I guess. Cherami Leigh as Asuna does come off as an odd choice.

Would be nice if anime companies only released what I liked too. I'd be flat broke though.

I wanted to see the dub premiere at Sakuracon, but it was capped.
