Vote for your favourite Mikuru!
ASOS Brigade has four recordings up for you to vote for you favourite version of Mikuru. The link is carefully hidden somewhere on the site…
In response, Zero the Penguin has updated Code-Geass.com… I wonder who those mysterious voices belong to… (Maybe you should look for the sauce?)

just look on the bright side, at least they’re letting us pick the least horrible one (like there is one) instead of having some random guy screw it up. So its good that they are trying to listen to the opinions of the fans and are willing to changes things within a reasonable limit. At least they let us pick a version instead of ditching us with the worst one.

You know when people comment without indication, I don’t know whether they are referring to the Mikuru rape sounds or the Orange-kun faggabes.

Does that english Mikuru’s voice sound like Bleach’s Orihime Inoue english voice?

Lol that was pretty funny DM, Zero-kun should congratulate himself for exceeding expectations in finding the voice actors lol

Lol! I tried running each of those “audition clips” with the actual scene from the fansubs (about 11 min 43 sec into Episode 3, A.F.K.’s sub). #3 seemed like the best fit for me, followed by #2.

The fourth voice sounds… odd.
Btw, irc.ricon.net.

on Mikuru-chan:
I think #2 is the best voice, and yes, steelbound, I do believe that is the English voice actress for Orihime (and Eureka 7’s Eureka, who she sounds more like in the clip), Stephanie Sheh. I actually think this is a good sign, because even though they’ve just announced it, they appear to have at least had auditions for the voices, which means the actual DVD releases may be not too far off (I’d guess mid-year).
I do think they could have picked a better example for a Mikuru voice sample, but a good costume-rape receiving voice is very important for the character…
on Orange-kun:
Too funny! What a great scene! Kudos to the unknown licensor of this anime (I can’t believe people are still fansubbing it, now that it’s licensed ^_^) for picking such a recent and humorous clip to reference, as it shows that they may be even farther along than Bandai and SHnY. Don’t know about their choice of voice actors, though. I don’t know if the accents were Singaporean (hey, aren’t you from Singapore, DM?), but they did kinda have some kind of strong accent. At least it wasn’t French! And their audio balancing needs a little work. The volume on those voices was all over the place!

You sure about that? >>>
I am refering to the Code Geass ones.

Oh. Haven’t checked that one out yet.
This time I took the liberty to listen to the voice tracks, in full. I agreem when they try to do it in English, it DOES sound like porn.

It’s too bad Jason is on vacation. This is just begging for a Dr. Jack post.
#1 is nice because it’s the oldest-sounding voice (Mikuru is a second-year high school student despite her looks and behavior, remember.) She completely blows it when it comes to the porny caterwauling, though.
#2 nails the delivery, but the voice itself is a bit generic and Sheh is kind of overexposed, for good or ill. From what little I know of her, she’s rewritten her dialogue in the past, which is probably a good thing if this clip is any indication. “HOW IN THE WORLD DO I SHOT WEB” image macro in 3… 2…
I can’t say anything nice about #3.
#4 sounds the youngest, but it’s like Kyon’s Sister young. That’s bad, but the childish petulance of her “I don’t want to” makes me want to hear other samples. And, if she can pull it off, would make the difference between her and Adult Mikuru like that between night and day.
