At first, I was like "Oh, here we go.." Though, at least it's dubbed for the Japanese fans, not necessarily for the weeaboo fans. That little piece of trivia intrigued me, though, so I made an account and watched it. She did a pretty good job. I'm surprised they're all voiced by the same person. Though, I think she needs to do some work on the emotion level of her Weiss voice. Weiss didn't really sound entirely angry and "bitchy".

I like this dub more than the Chinese dub. To me, as an English-speaking American, it felt like more emotion was put into the Japanese dub than the Chinese dub. The Chinese dub's flatness rubs me the wrong way, like high school students reading out loud in a flat tone of voice bothers a Language Arts teacher.

If you find a Japanese dub of episode 8, please please please please please let me know! I'm curious how the other characters will sound, and episode 8 has a very large amount of the characters speaking in a single episode.

It's just kind of interesting seeing the other way around on dubbing. We're all so used to looking at the original versions of anime, while being given English dubbed anime. It's a slightly different and kind of interesting experience seeing how the Japanese (and other countries, in fact) handle dubbing our shows. That's pretty much why a lot of bronies were so interested in the Japanese dub of MLP. It's such a reversal of what we're used to.

Do you think Japanese people ever get curious about how we handle their favorite anime? /ramble
