I wasn't expecting this to get dubbed, but I'm not complaining. For people who've played the visual novel, how's the adaptation so far?

Really gotta hand it to Aniplex USA for utilizing more dubbing studios outside of BangZoom for their english dubs. It's a pipe dream, but I'm really hoping they get Sound Cadence for whatever upcoming title they might have.

I wouldn't mind if they started using companies like Kocha Sound, New Generation Pictures, or Central Command. They could really use the work and have made great anime dubs in the past few years, Kocha in particular.

Really glad this is getting an English dub. I'll probably keep watching the sub for now but I'll definitely give the dub a look too.

It's an excellent adaptation! Fleshes some stuff out, too; I've been replaying the game, and I'd forgotten that it basically gives you no discussion at all during the first vote, you just get the barebones premise and then everyone votes for Raqio. So the anime expanding on all that helps a lot. The Gina event also occurs later in the game, and I think combining that with her first time as the Gnosia was a good idea. The performances in both languages are great, too. If I had one flicker of annoyance, it was introducing Stella with her throwing herself at Yuri; I don't remember if that happens later in the game, but it isn't how her first appearance goes, and as a first impression it isn't really accurate to her character. Still, she doesn't stay that way, so it could be worse.
I'm glad the dub cast nonbinary actors for the nonbinary characters, and they're all doing a great job, even if Setsu sounds lot more like Mitsuru Kirijo than I expected. Shoutout to Joshua Waters in particular; only knowing them as Phainon in Honkai Star Rail, I wasn't sure how that would work for Raqio, but their voice is very different here, and their slightly higher-pitched, almost fey take on Raqio is different from the sub but good in its own right. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the cast.
Also, I guess we have an official English pronunciation for "Gnosia" now. Not a fan of the hard G, but at least I got the "zhuh" right.
