REVIEW: Green Green DVD 1

Arvintel (misspelled "Arventil" in the article, which sounds enough like lentil to be delicious!) is the only dubbing studio I know of that's based in Atlanta. MB usually only gives them hentai -- and they do a LOT of MB's hentai. They've been doing anime dubs for almost a decade... just, nothing people would put their real names on. I can only guess they must work REAL cheap.

That would make sense as to why MB used them for the dub. Isn't Green Green based on a hentai dating game?

Anime Works farmed the ADR production out to Arventil Media Productions, whose lack of experience on major projects (they’ve only done a handful of titles, mostly short and obscure OVAs) really shows. It also doesn’t help that most of their vocal talent consists of complete or relative newcomers.

Yeah, looking at that cast list, to me it reads more like an equivalent to a low-class minor-league baseball team: very raw on talent and skills, with many of their players having little to no chance to making it to the major league. I couldn't recognize any of these actors save for Bryce Papenbrook, and the only reason why I recognize that name is because he's the son of the late Bob Papenbrook. He's probably the only one of the group that has the potential to become a very successful VA, and that's due to his pedigree.

I'm also wondering if they are going to license the one shot hentai episode at the end. That was highly amusing, especially with the spoiler[peeking monkeys]
