NEWS: Princess Principal English Dub Cast Revealed

Interesting cast for the main characters, I was expecting the usual Sentai female cast; Luci Christian, Brittney Karbowski, Emily Neves, Hillary Haag and either Monica Rial or maybe even Jad Saxton.

I don't know about the accents, as a positive, it's more suiting given the setting and as English accents usually go in English dubbed Anime, this is one of the better ones. Maybe they could have gone with a Mid-Atlantic accent instead.

I suppose given that this is aimed at an American audience, they are less likely to notice any faults in the accent.

I am really happy about Beatrice, I could not stand her Japanese voice.

Mmm cast sounds all right better than I expected. Not sure about the accents, maybe because it's so rare in dubbing it's just unusual. I'll get used to it I suppose. Also anyone know if the Premium Bluray set is on a wide delay or just delayed from Rightstuf? Sentai still lists the September release for both.

Anyone went right to preordering after hearing this trailer? I just did. : D

It sounds great, but to be perfectly honest, my enthusiasm for this series dropped like a rock when I saw its continuation would be in the form of six mini-movies, rather than a second TV series. Since the movies won't hit Japanese theaters until 2019, then get a Blu-Ray, then a holdback -- and since there's typically no Western streaming of anime movies during this wait period -- we may not see more of PriPri in English until well into the next decade. I really don't see myself waiting around 3-4 years for the story to get resolved, so it's mentally easier to drop the franchise now.

While I would have preferred a dub with "regular American" accents, I am fine with British accents as long as it is consistent and I understand what the characters are saying.

MarshalBanana, Emily Neves and Monica might not be in as many Sentai dubs as often they used since they both live in the Dallas area. Save for SourceConnect or home studio recordings, that's a 5-something hour drive from Dallas to Houston. Likewise, David Wald, Josh Grelle, and Katelyn Barr also now live in the Dallas area. This helps explain why those 5 are getting more work at Funi.

That trailer looked pretty good. The accents sound decent to my ears and I’m looking forward to seeing this show again with them next week.

Coincidentally I did look up Emily after posting that, as I have not seen her in much recently, and her Twitter profile only mentioned Funimation. Monica is more well known to have moved over Dallas. I haven't heard anything about David, and he still keeps appearing in plenty of recent shows. Josh seems to have been living in Dallas for ages, I did not even know he started at Houston. Never heard of the last one.
