Bless Caitlin Glass and Shawn Gann for continuing to use a diverse cast in FUNimation!

After the article yesterday it feels poignant to see Emi Lo and Dani Chambers leading the cast here.

Also seems like Adam McArthur isn't a one anime-wonder. If he's doing stuff with Funimation now, I wonder how much we'll be seeing him pop up moving forward?

Knowing Mick Wingert, maybe more or less frequent with Studiopolis and FUNimation at times.

I'll still keep watching it in sub just to keep up with the story, but Shadows House seems like it'd be great in dub with the European style theming. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

Its hard to judge based solely on the first episode considering we only hear the two main characters speaking and no one else, but so far sounds pretty good! Dani Chambers has played plenty of energetic children prior (most notably in the second MHA movie probably), but I haven't heard Emi Lo play such a reserved role until now, at least in a major capacity.

So far its very in line with the JPN side/subs with its writing and deliveries, and I think that works for a show like this. Keeping Kate's referral in the third-person for example (something not that unusual in anime) would normally sound pretty awkward in English. But given how unsettling and weird the setting & setup is, it just adds to that feeling. Looking forward to checking back in later to hear more of the supporting cast, and any extra flourishes the dub brings to the table (unique colloquialisms, the dolls' song a few eps down the line).

Also, its interesting to see Adam McArthur on the cast list. I think the lead in Jujutsu Kaisen is his only other major ADR work (with the rest being mostly pre-lay), and wasn't sure if he was union, fi-core, etc...
