Even near the end, I would say this has been an extremely mediocre dub in every sense of the word.

About the first episode, I still felt like everyone was playing up the "mood" from the first series which just doesn't work with this series at all. They should have taken a lesson from the Japanese version and re-casted absolutely everyone, rather than just keeping everyone they could.

Hawkeye was among the worst of the group. Don't know how CK could call that "womanly", but to me it sounded like an emotionless transvestite. And I wonder how disappointed he is to know that they still can't pronounce "Jean" or "Louis" correctly. I'm just waiting for it to end because honestly, I'm getting real tired of having to cringe through it every week.

And, while I normally don't enjoy dubs, if I had to say "Best dubbing company as of late" it would hands down go to FUNimation... nearly every recent series I own by them has dubs just about on par with (or in rare cases better) than the original version. I have no idea why the ball was dropped so badly here.

If I was acting in this dub, I'd be embarrassed to watch it. It's just that bad to me.
