This is getting a DUB? Wow. Idk if I will check it out but I'm curious to see what Akatsuki sounds like.

I'll probably give the dub a shot. Already got the first part ordered from Rightstuf anyway. Though I'm not versed enough in english voice actors outside of a select few to see the cast list and be able to think "Oh, that person would be awesome/terrible as so-and-so".

Agreed. I don't recognize a good amount of the cast but those that I do look like good fits. Still I hate that boxart...

The cast seems good for the most part, but Andrew Love as Naotsugu looks like a terrible fit. On the plus side, Greg Ayres is not playing the main character.

On fairness, I have heard several Sentai dubs lately, and they were alright. I especially commend the one for From the New World.

I wholeheartedly agree. I was so disappointed when I went to finally go place my order and the cover was changed from the tentative cover they had before to the current one. The current box art is just plain & boring.

Saxton as Akatsuki? Me likely. Very Happy

Though, this is a Sentai dub, so the chances of it actually being good are pretty low.

Kyle is one of the better directors over there, so it should be better than average

I only recognize a few of these voice actors in this list.

Then again, I can barely remember a few of the characters' names on this list as well.

It's directed by the same guy who did the dub for Kino's Journey and the recent Majestic Prince.

I completely forgot this was getting a dub.

I was going to buy it anyway because I liked the show a lot and just rewatch it subbed, but Jad Saxton being in the cast (as a main character no less!) basically guarantees I'm going to give the dub a shot. Very Happy

It's good but not a great cast; It's fitting for the show. The only weak spot I see is Greg Ayres as Tohya but it's not a surprise.

And yeah, that cover's awful.

I dropped the show after a few episode but I'll be watching the dub. I liked Akatsuki the most and her being voiced by Jad Saxton has me interested even more to watch this show dubbed.

Nice to see Chris Patton again, maybe he is also working on more The World God Only Knows?

It's a good thing I hated Tohya anyway, because him having Greg Ayres voice guarantees that my opinion won't change.
