Just don't do it. Ignore this warning at your own peril.

You are doing yourself a horrible disservice by listening to the English dub of this. I know, I own the DVD aka dual audio. Stick with the SUB version and Jap Audio.
Very few of the characters are actually voiced well. Many of the VA's are still very green and have little to no emotion, and just sound outright flat or off. There are a few good voice overs and Mai is one of them thankfully. But Carol-Anne Day can't hold up the rest of the cast by herself.

If you have ever wondered why it is so hard to find a torrent of the eng dub this is why as well...

Oh and if you are wondering I still gave the show a 9/10 based on the sub version.

This public service announcement is brought you you by....

To top it off, the japanese audio has terrible voice acting as well - my ears can attest to that, I've never encounter such a large number of unpleasant voices in anime before in its original audio. I really had to mute the sound sometimes.

Basically, I think you're screwed either way. This show is kind of terrible, too. Now I remember why I didn't watch it for months ....

Loved the show, and the Jap dub is fine or even good. But the English one is horrible.

While I'm just three episodes into the show, the Dub seems perfectly fine to me. The big three female characters all sound well characterized and the male characters are particularly sounding on key in my opinion. Hope the trend continues, but if you want an opposing opinion, don't shy away from the dub it holds up in the early going at the very least. I'll try to return later on to see if it holds up all the way thru to the very ending.@Tasolth
