This just popped up under "Random Fun" and I found something funny. The reviewer bashes the dub pretty harshly...

Quote:
The dub is, unfortunately, a train wreck. Most of the voices struggle to sound ‘hip’ but come off as being poor imitations of kids from Orange County. Tsukushi loses all of her spunk thanks to a lame and flat performance from her English VA, and the F4 are totally forced the entire time. All of the background characters are a complete wash, grating and ear-bleedingly bad. Don’t watch the dub.


...but then goes ahead and gives the dub an A-? Confused

He doesn't give the Dub an A-, he gives the overall dubbed version an A-.

This has confused a couple people in the past, but the overall scrores take into account the story, animation and everything.

Essentially a poor dub broought the show down from an A+ to an A-.
