My thoughts exactly. Well, at least ANN calls it a "promo" which does makes sense, but it certainly isn't a news in any way. >.< |

Emerje:
I agree with you on a lot of levels. I was very satisfied hearing this dub just now. Setting aside for the moment that I'm already a fan of Bailey's work, I think she portrayed Maka really well, not sounding too young or too old, feminine while still keeping an aggressive/strong-willed inflection. And while I've never had the pleasure of hearing Solusod before, I think his Soul was well done. Full of attitude and vigor without coming off as so much of a holier-than-thou character to be unlikeable. I'm only familiar with SE thru its run in Yen+ as well as the hype and praise it's gotten online. I refuse to watch fansubs of any series once I know it's been licensed, so I'll be experiencing the subbed as well as the full extent of the dubbed - most likely - when FUNi begins to stream the episodes on their site. Admittedly I'm not crazy about Ohkubo's art (not the designs or style, per se, more that it gives me the impression of still being rough around the edges, skill-wise), but the way everything's presented in the anime is simply gorgeous, leading me to believe I'll almost definitely be buying this series ASAP!

Speaking of buying this series ASAP... has there been a release date set for it yet? Or are we still waiting for news?

Laura Bailey kicks butt as Maka. Very good casting, very awesome. The real test to me will be to hear her in some of the more emotional moments but so far, she sounds spot on to my ears. (Of course, I love her voice and it got me into anime to begin with so kinda biased.) Micah Solusod sounds great as Soul. His voice gives off just the right mix of badass and cool calm. And dear God does he give off JYB vibes too. It's kinda eerie. (Wonder if he'll help to snag fans of Bosch's away from more California-centric dubs.)

Can't believe they're only just getting around to this series now since they licensed it over a year ago. It's probably going to be their most marketable/profitable show since FMA.
The dub sounds ok, but tbh, I'm used to the original Japanese so it just sounds wrong to me. Should cater to new comers really well though. Most likley see the first DVD set March. Hopefully this gets a Blu-ray release as well since it would really benefit. |

Not too much of a surprise there. I didn't watch very much of Soul Eater when it was airing in Japan - it really wasn't my cup of tea. But as I recall there was quite a bit of negative buzz coming from the Japanese viewers about Chiaki Omigawa's performance, especially in the early episodes. "Lifeless" and "stick" were some of the more common adjectives used to describe her. |

I thought the dub was actually good! Though soul sounded like Johnny young bosch for a second, lol.
Hopefully soul eater goes on the saturday anime block for adult swim because honestly all the anime that is shown is a re-run except for bleach and moribito. Years ago the anime block began at 10 or so but now it's at 12. Something new is always nice! |

She got better, I mean Maka was her first role in voice acting. The screaming part in the last episode makes up for it  Plus over all I like her better in Nastu no Ararashi, but thats just me.
Laura Bailey as Maka is really really really great. Perfect voice for her |

Don't worry, KyoAni will have their animators re-draw each one of those still frames thousands of times, to allow for 30+ unique, carefully crafted, completely identical frames per second! Just to show they're not cutting any corners. |

For anyone who watches this, and thinks that Stein sounds boring, keep in mind that Chuck Huber was not at NYAF. I don't know who filled the role, but Stein won't actually sound like he does in the skit. Also, Shinigami-sama wasn't in the scene at all. |

Honestly, I don't think that takes much, though.

I'd like to comment but apparently adverts are now ruled by regions too.
To buggery with this. Soul Eater the anime wasn't even that good. |

Highly unlikely. Sure it was fraky enough,but i doubt it's JYB cause of the neverending beach epsiodes he's doing. Also not to mention funi has a knack of using their own and former ADV vets for their releases with the tenchi muyo series being the exception and that union thing a ANN user told me when they were reviewing the you doll version of Adult Nell Tu and the curiousity of who'll be her eng VA. |
