This was my first AX and it was a good show. Pioneer ran the full Sakura Wars: The Movie dub a few times and it's great. Hopefully FUNi will grab this batch of VAs and not one of the Monster Island casts. Urusei Yatsura: Only You was premiered in dub. It was so bad I actually walked out at some point. Just goes to show that a bad hentai dub studio is not going to pull off a great regular anime dub. I miss Coastal Carolina even more now. Of what I saw, Haibane-Renmei & Witch Hunter Robin walk away with solid dubs. This helps wash out the dregs of UY:OY. And anyone who is a The Big O fan will not be disappointed by The Big O II. This series kicks serious ass and the cast for the dub is right there from the beginning. And best of all? Big O has lots of new weapons to show off!
