I'm in 100% for Limited Edition. I had budgeted up to $500 for this show. I feel like I'm almost getting a bargain. (Not really). Look at all that cool swag!

Do you typically call $200 for a 24 episode series reasonable?

Agreed on this. Team Satsuki stay winning.
I have hope for Mako though (and everybody else, really, but CMC seems like a good fit for the role)
I think I forgot to factor in the rest of the show :V
no thanks
Nice and cheap, fuck yes. And it's with all the goodies. I set aside like $900 for all the volumes just incase, so this is just gravy.

Senketsu was the worst in the trailer for me, followed by Mikisugi. They both sounded completely wrong for the characters. Ryuuko and Mako just sounded a little off, but might be ok once you get more than just the trailer snippets.
I know right? While I wouldn't exactly say cheap, as soon as I saw Aniplex had the rights to US home video release, I knew the price was going to be retarded so I started budgeting accordingly. I've never paid this much for a single show before.
Check out the LE:

Is there currently any way to check out the trailer now that the event's over? It'd be great to see how good to dub's looking.
Like I said, I don't even remember hearing Senketsu. I kept expecting this sort of... deep, slightly-cartoonish, larger than life voice like he had. Never heard anything close, so I assumed I didn't hear him.
(remember I wasn't looking at the screen, I dunno if they showed him talking or not.)
Episodes: Episodes 1-4
Total Run Time: Approx. 100 min
That much money for 4 episodes? what the fuck

They said they'll have the trailer up on Youtube by like tomorrow I think?
I guess I should say cheap by AoA standards lol. Since I've started working full time the past year-ish now, I've been purchasing a lot of shows I really enjoy. Bought the TTGL blurays too!
And yeah, that LE is sexy. I'm really glad we're getting a pretty similar release to the JP release.

8:30 PDT tonight, so it should be up in less than a half hour.
I thought the stand outs were Cabanos, Mercer, and Williams. Grant George and David Vincent sounded odd - George in the sense that he's trying to play a fiery character as calm and collected, while Vincent sounds like a radically different take from the Japanese voice, so I'd have to hear more. He certainly doesn't sound like the pillar of strength and stability like the Japanese voice did. Would not bro out with just yet.
Satsuki only sounded believable while she was yelling - as if that was the only way for her to show any resolve or backbone. I haven't heard Steve before, but he sounded pretty identical to the Japanese voice. Erica sounds like a great choice, voice-wise, but she also doesn't seem to be completely in character just yet. Seitz is great at being boisterous and thunderous, as usual, but it's too early to say if he's actually tuned into the character.
It's certainly not bad, but there are some places to improve. Nonon is pitch-perfect, though.

The fuck is wrong with Aniplex?
in Japan, they're used to paying 1500yen for a fucking watermelon but this is america dammit! those prices are outrageous!
i used to buy subbed VHS at $29.99 per 2 -3 episodes, depending on series, back in the 90s. I don't wanna go back to that.

Nonon sounds fucking incredible. Gamagoori, too. And Mako.
Those three are my favorites. Instantly knew who they were as soon as they started talking, and that's usually a good indicator.
Which is fortunate they started Satsuki with yelling, because if it was just her speaking voice I wouldn't've known right away. Hope she and Ryuuko get more of the character with more experience.

Well yeah, I tend to wait for sales/price drops. What's Aniplex's track record with sales folks?
Well, I suppose if you just wanted to watch it it's basically free , or was anyway. I really did like this show but I'm not sure I'd spend that much on it. I won't even spend 60$ for an HBO show... I'll just wait a year and see if we get a 99.99 box set or something (wishful thinking perhaps ? )
$60 per set, what is this the 90s?
Time to go refresh RightStuf until it's up for preorder.

lol.
Anime Limited has it for the UK, and I think someone's also got it in France, but outside of that I don't think so.

i'll never hear it.
Tell Erica good luck for us. Ryuuko had a very distinctly Japanese kind of voice, and that's tough to go up against.

ROFFFFFFFFFFFLLLLLLLMAO. Aniplex doesn't do sales, and the prices of their sets tend to go up after they relatively quickly go out of print.
There was an announcement, I'd swear but I can't find the details. I think it got announced as 2 sets?
That's awesome. Tell her congratulations.

Here is the Engish trailer for those of you who missed it on the announcement:

I might just be biased towards Mercer, since I imagined he would be a good fit for Mikisugi. I don't know how hell fare for the first few episodes, but I'm certain he'll get into the groove quickly.
Also, Erica is pretty new to professional dubbing. She's been a mod for an amateur voice acting forum for some years now, but I really don't think she's been in many pro gigs. Plus, I'm sure the hobbyist background pales in comparison to even a little bit of professional experience. Still, I'm certain she'll get a better sense of Ryuuko pretty quickly.
She's been climbing up the ranks very, very quickly. She did some temp VO for me in the vertical slice of There Came an Echo. (It's hard to tell who is speaking without dialogue boxes, which were not done at the time, but she's the one sarcastic one who starts with "Corrin's being kind of a bitch.")
All the English VA's sound really good except Ryuuko... pity since shes the main character and all.
...did I just hear 'Senkets'.
You have no idea how much this is going to bug me. You have no idea.
I like most of the voices, though. Sarah Williams' Nonon sounds pitch-perfect, and Gamagoori is awesome, too. I like Satsuki and Mako, too. I think I'll have to hear a little more from Ryuuko before I get used to it, is the thing. Ami Koshimizu's performance is a tough act to follow.
Only real issue I had was Senketsu. Sounded off as heck.

This is pretty much spot on, Gamagoori's is pretty decent. Tetsu Inada is just so good.
