well I listened to the Kyon one and thought it kinda didn't suit him

I noticed several of these actors did the voices for bleach, which looked like they sucked. There better be some rediculously awesome director or something. This looks awfully torn between good and bad actors.

this was so weird. when i was watching the asos episode and the who play plays haruhi i thought i recognized her. i thought she was like the original voice actor of haruhi. so i check out wikipedia on Haruhi Suzumiya and the cast. wasn't the same person but i swore i seen that person. so i was like forget it she looks like any million asian nobody and was picked. i would never find that person since i thought she was a nobody. when i was given the cast of the ppl who voiced it i was curious about their origin interesting to see some familiar faces when i saw the face of Johnny Yong Bosch. i was like "what" isn't that the guy who play the black ranger in the early days of power ranger. he was like the first asian guy to play in the series. this brought me back some great memories. so i was reading the piece of the last appearance of his debut as a ranger. this led to another fictional character cassie chan as the pink ranger and such. so i read about her too. so this girl herself is interesting and brought back the good old day. so i want to know her real name. so i click Patricia Ja Lee. and she didn't have many cast in the hollywood business. bit disappointed by this. then it shows. it hit be like it smack me across. she is currently thy haruhi of the asos brigade. i was like wow. within ten mins of watching the new episode, saw the news and the cast, i found her thinking i never will. then i feel a bit pity. i mean she is 32 years old right now and she playing a character that is half her age. man this is like that stupid philosophy video i had to watch about force of attraction. when u think u want something, basically it will come to you. i didn't seek it out, it seek me out so weird >_<

*withers in pain and agony*

Do American companies do this on purpose? Sometimes I wonder if they purposely hire crappy voice actors cuz they know about 90% don't listen to the English dubs.

Kari Wahgren, WTF? Well i don't have a sample of her being energetic so I don't know but I don't have high hopes.

Johnny Bosch might make a good Koizumi but I think Crispin Freeman would make a good Koizumi too. At least its better than Kyon. I think he sounds a little bit better.

Bridget Hoffman....meh...she doesn't sound great. Ptff. Asakura, even though is evil has this ojou-sama air about her. Sophisticated or the like? I dunno. This saddens me just a little.

Michelle Ruff as Yuki? WTF? NO WAY! I DON'T SEE IT!!!

Wendy Lee as Haruhi...... v_v; .... I'm sorry but I think she does better at being Faye. Wendy Lee's voice sounds to much like a mature womans. Just because she is good at acting angry, she is not a Haruhi. Haruhi is energetic...angry yes, but also a bit immature sounding. Wendy Lee won't fit. Her voice has too much sexual arousal to it. -_-;

ARGHGH CHOKING....CAN'T BREATH....EARS BLEEDING...*gurgles on own blood and dies*
