The clip they placed during Pre-Flight was decent, Sinichi fluctuates from okay to meh but his interaction with Migi was still as enjoyable as it was when I watched it last year.
It's not a LOT better, but it's still a small step up from the AgK dub, which is helped by the fact Migi sounds pretty decent & Shinichi, for the most part, gets the job done. Could've been much better, but also could've been much worse as well.
Good voice actors. Will probably still end up being bad/mediocre because of the directing.
Pretty much, & it doesn't help this has the same director as AgK, as I previously stated. Which only adds to the frustration when we know the same VAs can give better performances if an ADR director from, say, Funimation tells them how to deliver their lines. Funimation would've freakin' had so much fun hamming it up with the overreacting on Shokugeki no Soma, but in Sentai's hands, I just fear everyone is going to sound BORED, which is the completely opposite reaction most characters have in the show, especially when tasting food.
Hell, now I can't help but wonder how Sentai is able to get some bigger name stuff (well not HUGE names, but still names a good amount of people on here might've at least heard of) compared to Funimation, if they just don't truly want the show or somehow, Sentai outbids them.
