While I wish the anime had covered the full length of the manga's story, I really loved what the anime did with the material so I'll probably give this dub a go.

Monica Rial as Misaki made me throw up in my mouth. Another trash Sentai dub. I wish they just left it sub only instead of ruin it with another cheap, crap dub.

Considering that I received this in the mail 3 weeks ago, this isn't much news to me!
I love how early Sentai release get sent out from rightstuf! |

Have you seen the dub yet? Have you seen every Sentai dub? If you didn't "yes" to both questions, then I think you can't conclude that it would be trash. |

Everything that I have ever heard Sentai dub is trash, same with every character Monica Rial has ever dubbed. Overuse voice actors more, Sentai. Keep churning out crap dubs like no tomorrow. |

The Japanese constantly reuse the same seiyuu. I think you should also be complaining about them. I am of the mind that any criticism on Eng. dubs can also be applied to a subbed version.

I love Maid Sama!, but I wish Sentai wouldn't dub it. I watched one episode of Infinite Stratos dubbed, and Monica Rial ruined it for me. Houki's voice still gives me nightmares.

I don't trust Sentai dubs anymore (I want to clarify that usually my problem is the ADR direction and script, not the actors), but I like the idea of Rial as Misaki and Matranga as Usui...I might give it a try, at least.

Lol i dont get the hate against Monica... Personaly I love her, she is my favorite VA. But yea we are diffrent people so we like and dislike diffrent things. I love the maid-sama dub, only 5 episodes to go. Just got to wait for the legal Europe release xD.
Also to say every sentai dub is trash is a bit bullshit in my opinion. Ever saw Clannad? Angel Beats? I do agree Sentai delivers less quality then Funimation does but for me still enjoyable. I wish sentai/section23 were still ADV, those dubs were as good as Funimation's quality. Last edited by TheMorry on Tue Jan 06, 2015 1:47 am; edited 1 time in total |

Mysterious GF X was a solid Sentai dub. I was very pleased with it. Anyway: I like Monica Rial in the dubbed shows I have on DVD but her as Misaki doesn't do it for me. If memory is correct she has a lower voice and Monica usually does high voice overs. If she does that high voice then it will kill the show. I'm not dumping on her, I just wish Sentai picked someone else. I have the subbed DVD and love it. |

I think Monica Rial does a fine job in IS and is quite a good voice actress in general. Haters gonna hate, I guess.
Never ceases to amaze me how much some english speaking otaku seem to hate their native tongue. |

Now that Sentai's English version of Maid-Sama is here, I can finally re-watch the show!
While I agree that overuse of the same voice actor is somewhat becoming a problem here on the English side, I also agree with Kadmos1 that the Japanese studios are even more prone to doing that. Besides, I'm just satisfied that Emily Neves is directing this show instead of...that other guy. |

While I love Monica and I think she's easily one of the most talented actresses in the voice over field today, this was a complete miscast. They should've done someone with a more sweet voice like Cherami Leigh or Brittney Karbowski. If they did I probably would've given this show another shot.

I'm usually cautious about Sentai dubs, so I'll reserve judgement until I hear it. Monica Rial (and Luci Christian) have some of the widest ranges out there in Texas, so with proper direction (the lack of which usually what afflicts Sentai dubs), Rial could do a good job.
The Unlimited Blade Works movie would technically be a Bang Zoom dub commissioned by Sentai Filmworks. And Jamieson Price reprised his role from the first Fate/stay night series, which was licensed by Geneon back in the day. Last edited by Asrialys on Tue Jan 06, 2015 4:14 am; edited 1 time in total |
