>>741218 I think you're right about Himeko saying "Maho" in the dub, but I also think in every other way, her voice is good. Her english VA sounds like she's actually kinda having fun. Also, some meaningless sound like Maho is a lot harder to sound natural in English than in Japanese.
As for Ichijou's voice, the reason I dislike it is that she emotes too much in the dub. Ichijou's voice is supposed to be soft, soothing, and girly, but at the same time, mechanical and monotone. The english VA sounds like she had no idea what the original sounds like.
I think Rei's voice is perfect in the dub. The only problem is when she says the other characters' names, hearing it with such a thick standard American accent is almost cringe-worthy. The other VA's do this too, but it bothers me the most with her for some reason. Still, good. Kurumi's voice is pretty good. Rokugou sounds very unnaturally high-pitched and girly, but then again, she's supposed to. Good. Becky is good. Alcoholic teacher is terrible. It seriously sounded like her english VA wasn't even trying.
Let's see...
Jijii wasn't bad. Pretty easy character to voice though, I would think. Behoimi was bad. Disappointing, since she's such a memorable character. Mesousa was great, probably my favorite dub voice. Cat-god's english voice was nothing like the original, but still sounded good for the role, I thought.
Anyway, it's Pani Poni Dash, a gag anime, so hearing the voices as they were originally intended isn't extremely important anyway. Just preference.
Okay I'll stop since /c/ isn't my blog.
