I got to watch the 4th Fruits Basket DVD today!

Yes, it has finally landed in my grubby little hands.

And of course I sat back and watched all 6 episodes in one run, in English for the first time.

The last three... ::gets teary-eyed:: ...damn I love this show *so* much. Just so much. It's so fucking good.

I was playing around with the character/actor profiles, and I finally solved a mystery. I know now why Yuki's voice has always stood out to me. It's.... dun dun duuuuuunnnnnnnn.... MiraiTrunks. That's right folks, it's the English voice of Future!Trunks from DBZ. Who was my crush on that show. And who also had purple hair.

Speaking of the actors, I loved the voice actor for Ayame. At first I had to get used to it being deeper than I expected, but now, oh, how I love it.

And I really want that icon floating around on someone on my Flist's journal that says "Ayam eats his soba noodles with confidence."

Akito in English was just as perfectly creepy as I had hoped. And I am definitely adjusted and in love with Kyo's, Yuki's, and Shigure's voices by now. Although Haru is still my favorite casting choice for the dub. But oh, Hiro! He was voiced very well.

I sincerely wanted to smack him. And find his parents and smack them. Which must have meant he was done correctly.

It's here!

IT'S HERE!

MY DVD WRITER IS HERE!

Pardon my caps lock, but... IT'S HERE!

::blinks at DVD extras menu::

What? The voice of Ayame is Vegeta of DBZ?

No way.

::quickly skips to episode 20 to check because no frickin' way::

From the Fruits Basket English cast interview, voice of Ayame:

"I'm so happy that the fans of Fruits Basket are finally, and, um, fans of anime in general are finally beginning to understand that the people at Funimation, genuinely, trully care about the shows that we put out."

::stare::

::blink::

::bust out laughing::

Well well well. Someone noticed that everyone hated the bad DBZ dubbing. I guess Funimation people truly do pay attention to fan response, huh? Or at least they're beginning to. Maybe they picked up on the fact that most anime fans consider Funimation to be the worst dubbing company out there. Hah.

Well, I did enjoy the Fruits Basket dub, so they're a bit more redeemed in my eyes.
