I believe these issues with the subs were fixed as early as the 2nd episode.

I have to ask do the fansubs go literal for everything, even the foregoing the localization needed to make the weiner segment work for an English speaking viewer? Because if they did that, it would be a step down.

Man, I really miss Ocean Studios sometimes. Hasn't the Canadian dollar fallen enough to entice a company to outsource to the North? C'mon Crunchyroll, you don't have your own studio...
But, yeah, I think Brad Swaile would be a good fit, although I would get confused on why Light Yagami is being outsmarted by some high-class student.

I never even thought of Swaile, to be honest. I was half-expecting it to be Billy Kametz.
Moot point now but I was tempted between either Abby Trott as Kaguya or a no name like Aoi Koga was when she was cast.

I can't help but look at the head games that the two leads in Kaguya-Sama play with each other as a romantic version of the battle of wits between Light and L. I just don't know a voice actress known for playing speed chess level plotting characters.
I can imagine an abridged dub now - "I have you trapped, L....I mean, Shinomiya!"

just thought id throw my 2 cents. everyone always stays stuff like this, but it never really is the case. and in fact has never been the case.
it will be, and always will beta logistics issue. no one cares how the seyuu perfoms,if theres money to be found, it will be made. |
But you look at most other companies and you have companies like Funimation that dub everything under the sun even if it didn't stream well or has niche appeal and Sentai has been going back and dubbing some of their previous sub only releases like SNAFU. Even Discotek goes out of their way to include as many dubs as possible on their releases if a dub is available. Aniplex is the outlier here where they're one of the few companies that still puts out sub only releases even for some of their popular shows like the Monogatari franchise.

Monogatari has wordplay that's hard to translate, but it also got a German dub so god knows how they pulled it off.

The closest thing to a dub for that series was the audio books for Kizumonogatari and Nekomonogatari.
They actually had established anime VA's like Erik Kimerer, Cristina Vee, Keith Silverstein, and Erica Mendez in them.
