Been watching the English Haruhi Suzumiya stuff. I LIKE the English Voiceacting on it quite a bit. Admittedly Crispin Freeman can't capture the apathy of the Japanese Voice actor, but really I think I enjoy the sarcasm/disbelief Crispin brings to Kyon instead. Rather than the "Huh. She's at it again" personality, the english translation gives him more a "Holy crap. Did she really just Rape Mikuru?!" I like he brings something new rather than trying to imitate the Japanese voice actor, which, in my mind, is what can really make a crappy english translation.
Also of note, the Esper dude is voiced by Johnny Yosch....I think that's his name. He voiced Vash the Stampede and is the former Power Ranger. Wendee Lee as the voice of Haruhi is.....interesting. Not necessarily bad, but definitely interesting.
Of note: I have Superman Doomsday coming next from Netflix, followed by more Haruhi. I may move all of Haruhi to the top. I tend to space out my selections so I can see other things.
Also, has anyone seen Gun Sword, and was it any good? I put the first disc on hold and am really considering taking it off.
I was planning on renting the Disgaea Anime, however Netflix is being retarded and is missing disc 1. Really, Netflix? REALLY? Then again, not surprising considering I've had Reboot Vol. 3 on hold since we first GOT the Netflix account. Great Teacher Onizuka Disc 1 has been on hold forever too. WTF?
