Which part did you like the best? The females all sounding alike or the terrible wooden voice acting? Or maybe Brad Swaile completely phoning it in as Setsuna? It was almost Blue Water bad. Let's hope they prod those actors to get some enthusiasm in their performances. I know they can do better than how they've been doing lately. Especially Swaile and Scott McNeil. I was very disappointed in them. |

Calm down we already know how much you hated the dub penguin 
Anyway I have a good feeling that they won't use Ocean Studios this time because it's an OVA and the dubbing for 08th Team and 0080 were done in LA if I recall. |

What I find strange is why they would even bother to leave out all those multi-language subtitles from the DVD release and seemingly make them Blu-ray exclusive, but I suppose that's how marketing works these days.

Wow, they certainly are pulling out all of the stops on Unicorn, which is a very welcome sign and befitting of their anniversary project. The advent of Blu-ray makes the whole simultaneous overseas release move much easier given that Japan and the U.S. are in the same region (the date's much sooner than expected, too). But at only 50 mins per disc, hopefully they will put enough extras on it to sweeten the deal.
Now I just only hope that it's not one of those cheapy English dubs or just them using the Japanese VAs for it (it's happened one or two times before). However, it is probably a given that Bandai Ent. will be distributing it and producing the dub. As what ChocoBar said, LA studios tend to get the OVAs and movies, so probably either Animaze/ZRO Limit or Bang Zoom! will be (or are already in the process of) doing it. |

Seems like they're trying to force us Gundam otaku to convert to Blu-ray. I'm not sure what to make of this, except... looks like I'll be getting a Blu-ray system soon.

So then it is is likely to be an extremely expensive release, which doesn't fly here. |

The ladies did NOT sound alike, and Brad "Setsuna/Light/Rock" Swaile did NOT phone anything in, holmes! What the hell are you basing it on? Or do you need your ears examined? Would you rather have Odex dub it? |

Unlikely. Playing 00 works because it requires no previous knowledge of Gundam. Unicorn will likely require you to have seen quite a bit, not to mention it will probably be an expensive license as well, and Sci-Fi won't be able to play a 50 minute episode without cutting out 20 minutes of content for commercials. |

They absolutely sounded the same, save for a few roles. And yes, Brad Swaile phoned it in completely, which is a shame, because he's usually very good. It sounded like he was half asleep in the role. I guess after playing Light Yagami so well, he felt he could just coast through this role, not bothering to try. Mamoru Miyano, on the other hand, was nearly as intense as Setsuna as he was as Light. Anyway, Swaile should have been Ribbons, not Setsuna. They should have gone with the Amuro joke, not the Light one. Ted Cole would have been a good Setsuna. I'd rather have Ocean dub it well. They used to dub Gundam well, but ever since SEED, they've been doing a terrible job. Not that SEED having a good dub would have saved it from being garbage, mind you. |

And that's only if you're watching the legitimate stuff, you still have 4 seasons on stuff you can't get on DVD. |

Uh, no, they didn't sound the same, and Swaile did NOT phone it in! Also, comparing him to Mamoru Miyano is unfair, since they SPEAK TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. Gundam 00 had a stellar dub. PROVE ME WRONG! |
