I think what’s missing from Kamina, based on what I’m reading from the comments, is that Passion of Manliness. Emphasis on Passion. I haven’t seen the episode though so I should go watch first.

I’ve only watched the first episode, so I can only comment on Kamina, Simon, and Yoko. Simon and Yoko were both great, but as the majority stands on, Kamina is lacking. Though I and a lot of other people will probably get used to him like I did Johnny as Lelouch.

No one can replace my gods’ places!!!: Tetsuya Kakihara and Katsuyuki Konishi!!!!! @_@

Lol welcome to the world of cable (or satellite, whatever), where commercials are the most evil things ever (they made me want to buy a damn hard boiled egg peeler)

I enjoyed this very much, reminds me of the time I had cable at home, swearing at the bad voices and cursing the programmers for taking out endings

I agree that Kamina isn’t quite as epic and loud as he should be but i’m sure he’ll get better once he gets into character. Hopefully soon for obvious reasons (>_<). I really like Simon, Yoko and Leeroy. They sound good. I have high hopes for this dub, hopefully they can get into character quickly.

Agreed with most on Kamina’s VA, though it really. REALLY. Could’ve been worse. It’s not the manliness or anything to that extent… it’s just that he seems VERY emotionless– not in the sense that Kamina wouldn’t care, it’s more around the lines of… just less than high-quality voice acting. It’s a FAIR choice for Kamina, but it’s just. Not. Kamina.
I’m actually VERY pleasantly surprised with Yoko’s VA. She has a quality that very much matches the seiyuu. And, so far, the other cast members aren’t miserably chosen either.
Simon… must’ve been chosen for his adult voice; I’m not too enthused about his “kid” version, though this, too, was not a miserable choice.
LEERON FRICKIN’ ROCKS. I doubt they’d have found much of a better voice actor. “SSSpin on! Give it a MANLY Twisssst~!”

So far so good. I look forward to the next few episodes.

>>And we just need to give Kamina’s VA some more time.
*sigh* If only…
I agree with otou-san; Kamina got better with exposure. Sure, maybe not as gar as we all would’ve liked, but Blum makes up for it in fabulousness. And Kamina’s yell at the end was pretty good. It’s too bad Sci-Fi’s basically butchering the charms of the show (read: eyecatches and OP/ED), but it’s a small price to pay for bringing the greatness of ~~Yoko’s thighs~~ Gurren Lagann to the US.

@emotoaster side note its Sam REGAL (Fate/Stay Night Shirou Emiya, Code geass Clovis Britannia, and Lucky Star Minoru Shiraishi)i don’t think his voice will match with Viral character.
