Total click bait, honestly; I thought "first version of the story to reach the west but is it the best one?" meant it was being compared to Chivalry of a Failed Knight yet again. But no, the review meant adaptation. What a let down as it's the one category where being unoriginal scores points rather than not.
Still, I stuck around longer for this review than the show.

Uh... I can't say I really understand how you thought that "The Asterisk War anime was the first version of this story to reach the west, but is it the best one?" meant a comparison between The Asterisk War and Chivalry of a Failed Knight, but ok.

That seems like a misunderstanding. Executives have their emotions cut off period.
Anyway, pretty fair review. C+ for the whole thing would have I think been a bit rough, but the start is dragged down a lot by the whole harem building thing. I actually didn't realize Julis had so little fan service until the review mentioned it.

This is why I believe it's more important for a dub actor's voice and performance to fit the personality of the character that they're playing than to imitate the original seiyuu. Unfortunately, doing that will cause some fans to cry out that "the dub voices don't match" because they sound different than their Japanese counterparts despite how good the performances actually are.

The sub had some issues when kirin was introduced. Whenever she said amagiri-senpai they just had the text say ayato and on one occasion "hello". I may not be anywhere near a master of the language but I don't think "amagiri-Sempai" is a form of greeting.

They basically never match the Japanese VAs anyway so anyone actually complaining about that needs their hearing checked.

I'm curious, did you check to see what they said on the dubbed track?

Wait, the release is only 6 episodes? What is this, 1990 again? Ok, that far back and it would be 2 episodes, but c'mon. Releasing a HALF season for the price of a FULL season is bullsqueeze no matter how you look at it. BD to boot. No thanks.

Yeah, I agree. This shouldn't be a surprise. Aniplex wants your soul!

You think that's harsh? That's NOTHING compared to this.

Are you trolling me or what? Because I clearly said it was a pretty fair review. So, no, I don't think that was harsh.
