This sounds pretty fantastic actually. Just judging from that clip, this could be the best broadcast dub yet.

Doesn't sound like Tatum's doing the script either, so that's a bonus.

I'm actually weirdly excited about this dub - it means I can pay attention more to the visuals going on!

(also hooray, an excuse to rewatch!....as if I need one)

Here's hoping that the girl with the ear shattering voice from episode 5, isn't as annoying in the english dub! *fingers crossed*

I like Tatum's scripts (Sometimes i think he did Karneval...that i liked a lot)

There's actually a story on a Fairy Tail commentary where Tyler Walker says Tatum once tried to write a dub script in Shakespearean verse...it didn't work.

Wasn't the dub for Romeo x Juliet written in Shakespearean verse?

Man, I was so expecting New York accents, and now I'm disappointed. Way to drop the ball, Funi.

"The Uploader has not made this video available in your country"

Sad

Is it really that expensive to license a series' streaming rights worldwide? After all ~40% of Europeans can speak English (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-speaking_world#English_as_a_global_language), so there's no need to localize the content to German or Spanish. Anyways, I am digressing.

Considering DxD and Psycho Pass have been/are being smiuldubbed, I doubt it's the best, but it's up there.

Well, think of it this way: everyone is speaking English in a re-named, alternate New York. Maybe accents will come later.

Kamisama Kiss 2 can also be added to the has been/was simuldubbed list and was very well done.

For BRAND NEW broadcast dubs I would personally rank Death Parade at the top of the list. Other than a few guest performances I didn't like, all the leads were fantastic. Alex Organ and Jamie Marchi once again delivered A+ voice work.

I am very happy that Trina Nishimura is voicing Chain. She is one of my favorite voice actresses, and I like her voice and work a lot. The rest of the voices also sound great. I am glad Funimation seems to be taking BBB's dub very seriously.
