That's the same in Japanese too, though. Saiga Mitsuki plays both Tsukasa and Elk. ^____^;;

Atleast Saiga Mitsuki does a good job at playing them both. I haven't heard the english actors for the show, but apparently from what .hack//sora says its not bad but I know the ones in the game are pretty bad.

Yes, your right Maho. I should have figured not many people have seen the dubbed version. So sorry. >.>

Kite's actually a favorite of mine in the English VAs. But I'm also an old-skool cartoon fan, as Kite's VA happens to only have reemerged recently. ^___^;;

She was the second of the three girls to play Penny in Inspector Gadget.

She was also the voice who played HALF of the color kids in Rainbow Brite. ^____^

o.o I got the theme from Inspector Gadget in my head now ;_; >.< I'll get you next time Tsukasa! NEXT TIME!!

But Seriouly Subaru's English VA is good. It almost feels like is the orginal speakin in English least thatis how I feel and Ginkan's English VA fits

Ginkan's voice makes me think of 'Mr Movie Voice' with the way he talks. I keep expecting him to belt out with 'Coming soon to a theater near you!' somewhere. o.o;

I like them both except Tsukasa's Japanese VA. And I mean I hate it with a passion. And it is a first for me. But I usually like both English and Japanese VA in anime. And that is why they have DVD's, so you can watch them in both languages. ^^"

I would have to go with American voice actors because i haven't seen a series in both Japanese and American yet.

I'm going to say japanese, they put so much more effort and emotion in their acting. And hell, it was made to work with the japanese voices.

Japanese. I prefer to listen to this kind of thing in the language it was originally done. Plus I find Japanese make better voice actors.

*giggles* ^___^

I'm another one who habitually will choose a Japanese sound track with subs, over an English dub. Since I've been into watching foreign flicks with subs for years, it always seemed more natural. However, aside from occasionally annoying dub voices/unnatural timing to fit the animation, I can usually live with a dub without too much trouble. Actually, the thing that I usually find most jarring is when, the dialogue is changed to remove cultural references that they figure an English speaking audience won't get - I *like* finding & having to go look for things like that...
