I made a comment on YouTube that was similar to the one I posted here, and Sonny himself actually responded to my concerns over playing the part too straight. According to him, it was done that way on purpose, because the humor of the scene comes from Koro Sensei staying completely calm while all the students fire at him. He mentioned that even the Japanese seiyu played the scene completely straight. But then he told me not to worry; he gets PLENTY crazy and wacky in later scenes.


That is why I don't put a lot of stock in trailers when it comes to judging performances. They tend to be out of context, and it takes watching a couple of episodes to form an opinion. I was skeptical when I watched the trailer for Kill la Kill's dub, but I'm enjoying the performances so far now that the dubbed version is on TV.

Funi have a habit of making bad trailers for good dubs so I don't doubt that.

Now that I've listened to the episode proper, I hereby rescind my previous criticism: Sonny absolutely NAILED IT. Very Happy

Seconded. Sonny Strait is an awesome Korosensei. Especially the second half of that episode.

Karasuma, on the other hand, could use a little work.
