Yeah, it actually starts getting good around episode 11 if I recall, you honestly dropped it at the wrong time.

Persona 4’s English Voices Baffled By Anime Casting

Sentai Filmworks surprised fans at Anime Boston this weekend by announcing that the original English voice cast for Persona 4 would be reprising their roles for the North American release of the anime based on the PlayStation 2 role-playing game. Even more surprised were the voice actors themselves.

Perhaps Sentai officials got caught up in the spirit of Boston's second-largest geek gathering this weekend. That might explain the fact that seemingly none of the voice actors from the original English cast for Persona 4 seem to have any idea they've been hired to reprise their respective roles.

Anime Vice got in touch with several of the original cast, none of which had any clue what was going on. Yuri Lowenthal, the voice actor who portrayed Yosuke Hanamura, told the website ""I don't know what Sentai's up to, I'm sorry to say," following up with "I've heard back from half a dozen cast members, and none of us have been contacted".

Huh.

The voice of Ayane Matsunaga and Margaret in the game, Michelle Ann Dunphy, was also baffled.

"To be honest, I don't think Sentai has spoken with any of us," she said. "I'd be psyched to come back and play Margaret and Ayane again in the anime, but as of right now? I won't count my eggs before they've hatched."

For a moment it looked as if Karen "Nanako Dojima" Strassman was in on the announcement, but it turns out she was talking about recording voice work for the upcoming Persona 4: Arena instead.

Anime Vice reached out to Sentai's Mike Bailiff, who stood by the announcement at the convention. When asked why none of the voice actors were aware of their upcoming roles, all he could offer was "What I said below is all I've heard."

How very odd. Well at least the original cast seems up to the task, should Sentai ever get around to telling them about it.

The North American release of the Persona 4 anime is slated for a 2012 release.

I haven't gotten to it yet but how is the anime?

It's a great adaptation with good pacing, music, comedy, action and mystery. Falls a short with the animation at times but I can forgive it for that. The mystery element won't be as interesting if you've played the game, but it's still worth watching.

Hopefully the animation will be addressed for the BD/DVD though but it's not like I'm going to rewatch it just for the better art and animation.

Translated name bothers me, but whatever.

Enjoyed the subs will buy legit release too.

So I have had the Fate Stay Night VN on my computer for awhile now, I'll probably get around to finishing eventually. Whats the "Proper" viewing order for the Fate stuff?

**Gokulo** · 2012-04-11 04:23

I don't think there's one. You have to go the first route to unlock the other 2 though.

**Jeherrit** · 2012-04-11 04:27

For the VN you're forced to play all 3 routes in order. In general, with the VN behind you you can tackle anything else fate related in whatever order you feel like really.

**meeeeeep** · 2012-04-11 12:59

There isn't really a "proper" viewing order but release order is probably best.

VN (Fate > UBW > Heaven's Feel) > Fate anime > UBW Movie > Zero

**Zilong** · 2012-04-11 18:24

TV anime and UBW movie is a pretty halfassed adaptation of the VN

As long as you didn't ctrl through the VN and just fap to the H-scene, you're pretty much good to go to tackle zero

I'm looking for comedy anime similar to Baka Test with just straight up comedy. Anyone know any good ones? Currently watching Level E and it's pretty similar.

While I'm easily amused, Baka Test was the only anime that made me laugh out loud for the longest while and I'm in a mood for some big laughs.

**Silenka** · 2012-04-22 16:30

Excel Saga or Gintama will do it for you if you love trolling (which is all Level E is really).

**Skai** · 2012-04-22 16:42

Aw yeah I love me some good trolling.

Oh yeah, forgot to include Nyan Koi as one of the more funny ones I've seen in a while. God that anime was hilarious.

**Deadgye** · 2012-04-23 00:28

Instead of studying I somehow rewatched Legend of the Legendary Heroes. I forgot how amazingly good it actually was. I'm sad that after almost 2 years there's still no sign of a second season. :/

Anybody know if the LNs were translated, and if they were where I could find them? I've gotten impatient after rewatching it. I want to continue the story ; ;.

**Skai** · 2012-04-23 06:18

Haha tell me about it. I read the Bakuman manga (until it ended, sad tears) but never followed the anime until now. Started to watch the anime about 6 hours ago and I'm already at episode 15. I initially thought the animation would not be so well done, but boy was I proven wrong. It's so gooood. Those 6 hours I spent glued to the TV could have been spent on my homework that is due in 8 hours.
