There they go again. The voice actors didn't carry over. It was speed up to save time for commercial's.

Ah, yes. I thought they did a pretty good job, even without the game VA's. But still, I wish they wouldn't speed up the actual episode. Sometimes they would talk way too fast o_o; Im sure it wont be like that on the DVD release if there is one.

They did that? I totally missed that. I did feel like the OP and ED were going a little quickly, but I didn't know the dialogue was actually being sped up.

You could definately tell by the music in the background, if you've seen the original episodes. I'm sure it was only because of time slots or something. But my sister said she didnt notice it, though this is her first time watching it.

I only noticed the sped up-ness on the spinning gate and the animation for the teleporting.. Conversations didnt seem sped up to me though.

There were just a few scenes that you could tell. Most of the time it just seemed natural. I could tell most when Tawaraya was speaking.

Holy hell that was so kickass. I think the only voice that needed work was Tawaraya. I mostly noticed the fast conversations with him...Well time to do this crap again next week to see more of my beloved .hack. Also what do you guys think? Andrew>Yuri ?

Ok, the Dub was recorded at Ocean Studios, which is in Canada, so they couldn't really get the VA's from GU there since they're in California...

bah! I was hoping I'd be wrong :( It's still really stupid to have released all these english voices in the GU game for people to get customed to, and then go and give the anima completely different voice actors :evil:

It's just going to feel weird when I switch from anime to game...

I thought they did a good job. I dont like Phyllos english VA tho. But it was good. haseo's Roots VA was a good one. If they hadnt picked Yuri, this guy would have been a nice Haseo.

I found it kinda funny how they sped up the opening and ending.

Apparently the VA who plays Haseo is well-renowned for his maniacal laugh...

...So I expect great things when Haseo goes insane.

That would be Ender, which is secretly  another character for Raeko Seaki(Pi)

Wow so it did seem that Roots got different voice actors, sucks how the episode is sped up to fit commercials though. Although I might be amused listening to a fast Silly-Go-Round : D.

Note: I have yet to watch Roots in english.
