I have <a href="http://www.nigorimasen.com/category/dubside/">previously written</a> a number of times about English dubs out for genuine interest in how well or poorly titles are adapted for American consumption. That&#8217;s why I was very pleased to read G.B. Smith&#8217;s <a href="http://www.mania.com/eigo-kudasai-english-please-one-host-club_article_111086.html">detailed review</a> of <em>Ouran High School Host Club Part 1</em> for Mania &#8211; the first of what I think should become a regular series of <em>Eigo kudasai</em> columns. (This seems like a more fleshed out spiritual successor to a previous AOD column &#8211; &#8220;Being a Brief Discussion of Anime Dubs&#8221; &#8211; that was written by Way Jeng, although it should be easier now to evaluate performances more fully now this age of 13-episode season sets.) The reviewer evaluated how well the respective voice actors&#8217; performances conveyed their characters&#8217; emotions, their ability to reflect the existing character dynamics, and the script issues that appear in varying degrees in any English adaptation, especially FUNimation.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good read if you want to get a sense of how some of the roles were not much of a challenge (Vic Mignogna&#8217;s Tamaki, Luci Christian&#8217;s Honey) or were &#8220;hardly unique&#8221; in the case of Monica Rial&#8217;s Renge. I concur with the &#8220;recommended&#8221; verdict of a &#8220;solid effort&#8221; after sampling some illicitly uploaded dubbed episodes on a certain video-sharing site. FUNi, I would advise you start clamping down on those out of pure business interest since they may detrimentally affect your box set sales to a certain degree!</p>
