AnimeTV Episode 1 – First Look at Haruhi Suzumiya
(SHAMELESS PLUG CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE-CONTROL FOR COOL)
Well, I’m sure every one of you hasn’t heard a single thing on the 15th besides Shippuuden’s outstanding premiere. No seriously, it was. But let’s not forget those other anime out there that we fans are aching to get in our tainted hands. Um, yeah…
So anyways, AnimeTV (hosted by Johnny Young Bosch) is finally up and as their first episode, they’ve reviewed The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya! Now, not only do they have the lovely LE Mikuru Bunny Suit figure in their room, but they actually discuss the parts of the anime that really captures the audience’s attention. Plus, we get to see glimpses of the Haruhi dub! Check them out:

So far, I’m liking what I hear, but the best one I’ve heard so far has got to be Stephanie Sheh. Mikuru Beam!!! Catch AnimeTV every Thursday at 8 PM for more reviews and other stuff. Spread the word, shmucks!

the dubs they buurn my eeeeaaars ahhhhhhh!@$!
I dunno. It doesn’t sound too bad, but I don’t like Haruhi’s voice. It suffers a bit from Valley Girl syndrome, and I don’t like the way Haruhi delivers the lines. The voice is fine, but the inflection and tone comes off wrong. Haruhi should be more energetic and a little less “and by the way it was totally, like, dub voice, okay?”
And I don’t think Mikuru’s high pitched voice carries off well to a US audience. It might sound cute to the Japanese, but to me it just sounds like she has a very, very bad cold.
looks to me like some kids (in anime matters) that are trying to do a pro review, they didnt even mencioned once the fact that this anime is an adaptation of a light novel.
The dub sounds good, with ambient music should sound great.
P.D. I loved the mikuru figure on the table
I like how there’s a DBZ screencap while they’re flashing through the “thumbs down” sequence a bit over a minute into that video.
I think if they are going to be reviewing anime, then they should have some bloggers on there too. Voice our opinions.
And BLEACH as the #1 pick? WTF?
^Yeah, something’s real up with those guys. It’s like they’re bias for Miyazaki films. Really.. 5, 4, and 3 were all Miyazaki. And it’s funny how they all like Evangelion so much.
Yeah, you gotta wonder how those people got into that show xD But yay for Johnny Young Bosch! And Yay for Kyon’s and Mikuru’s voices, because I liked those the best. I don’t know why they always have such stupid voices in dubs for characters who are so soft-spoken. It bothers the heck out of me. -does not like Yuki’s voice-
Man the VA for the cat Shamisen (Michael McConnohie) was a riot! He kinda reminds me of Bluto from Popeye.
