So a Dallas VA finally broke into Seraphim Digital & Houston dubs (in the Sentai Filmworks era).

Congrats Tia. Well deserved!

If they can make Komari's voice better, I'll wholly approve of the dub.

This cast list is a disaster. Karbowski as Rin is sacrilegious. Japanese audio it is then.

Masato is going to sound hilariously out of character.

glad im not the only one who thought this was hilarious. I was gonna say "great, they ruined Little Busters!" as a huge fan of LBs. but then I remembered JC staff kind mostly ruined it themselves. JC can still fix it with Refrain tho. at least they stuck to the story...just bad direction

Refrain probably can fix it, but so far from what I've seen its still a little early to say for sure but it looks as though JC got their crap "together" now hopefully it stays that way until the end.

Wow guys just wait until theanimenetwork put up first episode of the show on Friday this week, then you can judge it, well kinda, not all characters will be on that first episode. Wink but I agree Greg Ayres is not fit to be that character, but I'm going wait might surprise me, wait until Friday

Brittney Karbowski as anybody makes me immediately more interested in something than I was before.

and my interest in this before was zero.

And again, casting a woman as a high school male is missing the point of puberty or something.

Unless Riki turns out to be a crossdresser. No? That would have been a nice twist too.

I was just thinking than a really amazing dub could pull this show into an "ok" rating but this cast is not the basis for that dub.

Riki did have a female voice actor in Japanese as well though.
And his English voice actor has voiced young males before.

I was really, really hoping Illich Guardiola would play Kyosuke. His voice sounds a lot like the original and I think he would've been a sure bet for the personality.

Anyway, sometimes surprising casting turns out well. I'll at least give this a try...
