Based on the trailer alone I thought Cassandra Lee was alright. I think I could get used to her in the role. Everyone else though sounded off. Still I'd have to see a lot more to determine if the overall performances in the dub evened out and if in the end they ended up decent. I'm not going into this expecting the dub to be great or even equal to the Japanese. I would like it to be better than serviceable, but it may end up being just that.

I never thought this show would get an English track! I bet this has made a lot of fans REALLY happy!!
Cassandra Lee has a girlish quality to her voice that allows her to sound really cute without going into phony falsetto like a lot of anime voice actresses do. Her acting isn't always on point, but still, I like listening to her! I hope she'll make a good Taiga! |

I think that the problem isn't so much that they included dubs as much as they're "replacing" their favorite voices that they know. I can't speak for anyone else, but I've watched the subbed maybe three or four times, so for me personally, the japanese voices ARE the voices and to have someone else delivering the lines feels similar to a remake of a movie franchise you love. I wasn't personally impressed with the dubs, but...frankly, I don't care. One of my favorite series is finally getting a blu-ray release, something I've been waiting over two years for. Dub or sub, I already pre-ordered! |

Besides the fact that there was music playing throughout the whole trailer and I couldn't hear as clearly as I would've liked, it all sounded fine to me for the most part...
The two leads sound like they fit the characters, as long as they're good, that's all that really matters to me. Also, JYB in a supporting role is never a bad thing. Last edited by normajean19 on Wed Mar 12, 2014 4:33 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I hope that was just a quick English track they slapped together for that trailer. I thought the voiced sounded fine, it was more the technical end of things - everything sounded flat and hollow, and I don't think I've seen syncing that bad since the 90's.

I have to agree. Although many have legitimate concerns, the fact that people who inherently hate dubs have to dump on them every time ticks me off. If you don't like it, that's fine, but quit complaining to everyone. If you call them out for it they'll say something like "It's not true that I hate all dubs! I loved Cowboy Bebop's!" Well, like I always say, every racist has his favorite negro. |

I'll second that. I try not to put too much stock into the trailers. It usually takes the VAs a while to get into their roles. |

Kimerer sounds like he's playing how Ryuuji sees himself and not how the rest of the world sees him. Yeah, he may be a mama's boy who cooks and sews, but he needs to sound like someone that even teachers are scared of.

Sounds like a pretty good dub! Taiga's VA is probably my favorite though from the trailer, and that is saying something since she's such a huge part of the series. I might check it out dubbed some day.

Are you surprised? Anyway, I'm both surprised and pleased to see this getting a dub. It was a rather pleasant surprise to see the ads for this the first thing when I went to ANN today. |

So I'd love to know what someone who's never seen or read Toradora! thinks of this trailer. It seems like it's serving a lot of masters — trying to quickly establish Ryuji & Taiga's personalities, show how they reach their deal, and then get in some Minori, Kitamura (barely), and Ami (who doesn't even appear until episode 6 or so but is a great character, or at least becomes one).
I like the series a lot and this trailer seemed like it was scratching all my fan itches (they throw in the lamppost scene because it's arguably the most iconic scene in the whole series), but I wonder what a newcomer would think of this trailer. Does it make you want to get into Toradora!? Does it even make sense? |

I'm sort of happy now that I never got around to buying the previous edition. Now I can get this

I haven't seen the series before (been meaning too) but this sounded pretty solid to me. Erik Kimerer doesn't sound too gruff for what I'm guessing is supposed to be a tough guy but I think he can work it and everyone else sounds pretty good. Especially Cassandra Morris but then I have a personal vendetta against Rie Kugimiya in tsundere roles (and I do know at least that much about the show) that almost anything else will sound instinctively better in comparison to me so I may not be the best judge on that one. |
