Witch Hunter Robin, episode 1 - English

Gah!

It's Faye's voice. Talking to Vash's voice.

Too weird. ::shudders::

This reminded me about my basic reaction when I first watched it in subbed: slooooooooooooooooooooooow. That hasn't changed with the English cast, I guess.

I still can't decide if Amon is very attractive or very ugly.

Actually, Amon's voice is the only one that I'm not really digging. The ones I mentioned above... they're surreal, but I could get used to them. Robin's voice is alright... it's familiar, but not so familiar as to be distracting. The others are alright too... the restaurant owner's voice is perfect and exactly what I would expect it to be.

Rewatching the first episode reminded me that this show is all about the character build up. It will be interesting to follow in the English version.

What's up with the opening? It's not the one from the original. But I'm trying to remember if maybe the first episode did have a different introduction than the rest.

Where did the the vague and ominious mock-historical XFiles-y quotes go? I hope they haven't dropped them completely.

Actually, I think the card attached to last night's ep pretty much summed it up for me. A dude that trips other people? Really? I hope it gets better from here on out, because, really. Tripping?

Actually, he used the sand to immobilize the other guy completely. And hey, if it works, don't knock it.

The show goes through a wide range of psychic powers being exercised.

Well, he does have a thing for gun-wielding women with short purple black hair.

Well, see, then Akira will be even more weird for you because Kaneda (Vash) hits on Kei (Faye) in that one. O_o

You know, I watched part of Akira in the new dub, like the first 1/2 hour. And I did notice Vash's voice.
