The Soul Eater Dub

I have to say, it's tough trying to write about this with a clear unbiased mind. Those who watch a show that's dubbed first often like the dub better and even more so with the vice versa. Also, my nerd dander is up already because I really enjoyed this show when I watched the subs. Because of these two things the show has a big disadvantage of getting a good review in this entry. However, all and all I think the project was handled very well by FUNimation. Especially considering most companies would rather just release animes sub only. Laura Bailey and Micah Solusod do a fairly solid job covering the main protagonists. Micah is a fairly new name to the voice acting community but does sound fitting although a bit monotone at times. I Black Star's voice (Brittney Karbowski) grating and annoying. That's not putting down the acting at all considering the character is grating and annoying. Todd Haberkorn's take on Death the Kid's voice is seriously different sounding from it's Japanese counterpart. Still, he has great enthusiasm when playing Kid when he flips into his O.C.D. rants. Similar-illy, Excalibur sounds totally different but still makes me laugh and really isn't that all that matters? All in all the whole thing was fairly well done with one exception. One of the lesser characters, Eruka Frog sounded very phoned in. Although Kate Oxley's voice was fitting to the character there didn't seem to be much acting involved with the dialog. This is not a flame on miss Oxley. She has a very impressive career and has been is some great shows. But I can't ignore it when I'm watching a character in the show being threatened with death with a cold sweat, panic stricken face and everything she utters is monotone and lifeless. I know I'm being nit-picky but I'm an anime fan. It's what we do.
