I don't think they're going to bother to dub it either, seeing as the release date is so near. Phew, that's quite a relief, actually.

I definitely want to get the DVDs, but I am hoping they'll be dubbed, I'd like to be able to compare it since I so rarely watch subtitled stuff, which means I don't tend to get a chance to compare Japanese vs. English versions. I do love the Japanese version, of course, but... I just want to see what it would be like in English. Anyway, I want to wait for a box set. I just finished watching the fansubs, finally, but next time I watch the series I want to try it chronologically. Also, I want to use DVDs to make screencaps without subtitles in the way of the pictures (though I suppose even if it's not dubbed, which seems unlikely to me, you'd still probably be able to turn off the subtitles). Anyway, I have a review of the show on my site, as well as a gallery I've been working on, though it needs alot more pictures. But as I say, I'm waiting to get the DVDs....

Well, as it turns out, it is going to be dubbed after all! This video has a few previews for the dubbed voices. Gah, during the first few seconds of this video, I was thinking somewhere along the lines of "Oh please do not let this be as lame as it looks..." and, sure enough, in some ways it was. The host guy (Johnny?) need to go find somewhere to die, as does the guy in army gear at the end of the couch. But the rest really wasn't so bad, until it got towards the end. It also inspired me to wear Haruhi ribbons to school on the day the dub is released. ^_^ Thoughts on the dub voices themselves? Overall, pretty good. Kyon and Yuki sound especially perfect, but I'm really not all that sure about Haruhi's voice. Hopefully it will grow on me in no time. =D

I didn't like the dub, but I barely gave it a chance =P

Immensely enjoyable thus far.
So many animes to watch and mangas to read, so little time.

Okay, watched the English trailer that was in the other thread... I'm glad it seems the dub will include the Japanese theme song. And Wendee Lee as Haruhi... well, it may take awhile to get used to that, but I think I'll manage. Didn't really catch any other voices in the trailer, no one was really talking except Haruhi, though we did briefly hear Mikuru, and what little I heard sounded fairly right-on to me....

Yeah, I'm not really all that crazy about the Haruhi voice choice (lol, rhyme) but I think I can live with it. For some reason, I love Kyon's voice. X3

eewwwww, wendee lee as haruhi? that's just wrong. tiffany grant would have been a better choice... though i have no idea who works for which dubbing company. who's doing yuki and mikuru?
i had to watch the episodes in chronological order because i just couldn't keep ANYTHING straight otherwise. i was too distracted by "who the hell is this guy? where did SHE come from? what are they talking about?" to pay attention to the episodes. but yeah, the last chronological episode is extremely anti-climactic.

Like I said, the only voice I heard in the trailer other than Haruhi was Mikuru, but it was too brief for me to recognize it. Looking at Wikipedia, however, I found that Mikuru is voiced by Stephanie Sheh, Kyon by Crispin Freeman, Yuki by Michelle Ruff, and Itsuki by Johnny Yong Bosch. So, of course, all of the English VAs are familiar from other animes.... I look forward to getting the DVDs so I can get used to hearing them all play these characters. It'll be especially interesting for me because this'll be the first time I watch a dub after I'm already familiar with the original Japanese version.
Btw, I didn't recognize the name Tiffany Grant, so I checked Wikipedia for a list of credits, and most of it is stuff I haven't seen, but at least I'm familiar with Marta from FMA and Asuka from Evangelion. Which is funny, because at one point awhile back I had this totally ecchi thought... I'm not into hentai or yuri or yaoi or anything like that, but I remember thinking I wouldn't mind seeing or reading some yuri involving Haruhi and Asuka, I just thought they'd make an interesting couple....
