I thought it was pretty good--at least, the voice acting was tolerable, which is always what I watch out for in Adult Swim (sorry to all rabid Inu fangirls, but the dubs are horrid in that show). And--not that I could tell or anything--but I think the only thing they cut was the opening song (surprise surprise).

I thought the dubs were pretty good from what I heard. Maybe due somewhat to two of my favorite Esca VAs being in it.

Sorry, but what you see is what you get. For the next 14 eps. it's a "witch hunt of the week" until the second half of the series (and the real story) kicks in.

Suspense, a little bit, well sort of, well not really.

Scary, not here - try Devil Lady instead.

Well I liked what I saw so far, but there wasn't much to judge and I think the show was a bit short.

I don't really care about the characters yet, which is usually important to me, but it was the first show afterall.

Also is it just me or did that one commander look a little bit like a bald Hitler?

Hitomi and Vahn? (Sango and Miroku)

oh yeah and x2.

Lets be honest though, the Inu dub does blow pretty hard early on (was this Kagome's voice actress' first acting gig?) I got used to its cheesier voices for the most part and bad voice actors (like kagome) eventually settled down and did a good job I thought.

Ranma 1/2, IY and Esca were all done by the ocean group, so theres a lot of shared voice actors if you listen for them. Its fun because sometimes a familiar voice will pop in just for one episode, like Allen Schezars voice for Kageromaru (Naraku's 3rd and ill fated incarnation), or Koga of IY doing the voice of an evil gymnastics martial artist in Ranma 1/2. A couple voice actors have done all 3, well at least 2 that I've noticed so far: Ukyo/Hitomi/Sango and Kasumi/Hitomi's friend (Hikari?)/Kikyo. I love how vahn/miroku (Kirby Morrow) hates Folken/Naraku (Paul Dobson) and is romantically interested in Hitomi/Sango (Kelly Sherridan). Not only are some of these voice actors maintaining their roles in IY, but they have similar relationships to when they were in escaflowne.

Well say what you will about IY, but as a huge fan of both Ranma 1/2 and Escaflowne, I'm tickled that the ocean group is doing IY, and I think for the most part they are doing an excellent job so far, by dub standards at least.

I thought Witch Hunter Robin was pretty cool. I guess I'll watch the other episodes to see how it turns out.
