So I was looking through a few .Hack//GU videos and came to the conclusion that Atoli's English voice clearly needs reworking. It's cringeworthy. >_>
So I know we have a number of people who say that Japanese voice actors or Seiyuu are always better than their English dub counterparts, and then we also have the other people who take a more moderate stance and say that some English voice actors do a better job, while some Japanese voice actors do a better job. I'd agree more with that second line of thought, although it does seem that many Japanese anime and games get shoddy voice-overs. Corny lines just seem to sound so much better in Japanese than in English half the time. And then the other half of the time both are equally bad.
But I digress. The voice actor sounded like she was trying too hard to sound cute.
....
And I don't know why I'm posting this. Is this a rant? I don't know, I thought rants would be longer. Maybe it's just an excuse to use the phrase 'hot damn' in a situation where i't can't be misheard/is largely difficult to misinterpret. I'm beginning to sound loony now, aren't I?
