Mai-HiME Omake 17 [English Dub]



Midori and what she's all about!

Mariette Sluyter as Midori Sugiura

Not a fan of Mariette's voice work as Midori, still you have to admire the seriousness put into this omake. The overall message gives it more credibility. Bravo.

Awesome things:

1. Almost naked Midori. Her Melons are practically begging for my attention.

2. There's a cameo by the Nina clone. Wait, she can't be a Nina clone since she came first. Jiminy crickets!...Nina Wang, the Nina we grew old with watching Mai-Otome, is the clone. Son of a elephant. >_>

Naked Midori. That's all I have to say about that. XD

Mai HiME Sub/Dub Comparisons Part 14: HEY! NATSUKI HAS A MESSAGE!



Natsuki displays her manliness once again by sending a message for the owner of this ANIMAL. Why? Because she's such...A WILDCAT!

Ryoko Shintani and Jayna Mitchell as Aoi Senou
Ai Shimizu and Caitlynne Medrek as Mikoto Minagi

Could she be any manlier!? Seriously. :shock:

I rather have NYAV or New Generation Studios do it than Bluewater (Ocean Studios) because of Gundam Unicorn and hope Sunrise would give'em the chance. I'll take Carol Ann Daye and Mariette Slutyer as franchise roles for big bucks.

LOL. "Your Craaaaazy rampage." <<< The little gay man inside Manly-dub Natsuki is coming outttt...

Don't remind me of Bluewater, their Dragon Ball Z dub is atrocious. Then again, so was Funimation's. FUNi became great when they took dubbing seriously with Fruits Basket.

Carol Anne Day and Mariette Slutyer to reprise their roles if Mai-HiME was repackaged and brought into a more mainstream light? That's a first. lol What did you like about their performances?

It may sound crazy but I prefer Mai-Otome's dub. Angie Beers is amazing as Arika Yumemiya. Even Melanie Risdon was able to polish her Shizuru a little better (thank the more subtle role of Shizuru Viola.)

Carol Anne Day is real blue chipper out of the block, from her role to G Gundam and others. She'll do an great job being an actress even in VA work as well. Vancouver sometimes can make hit or miss actors. In ten-fifteen years, she'll be an big name in Canada and US soon. She needs to expand her career, she's a valued a prospect in my eyes and talent.

Mariette Sluyter is awesome indeed and to me she's an ball busting 38 year old MILF. Versitile and amazing. They're some good blue chippers in Bluewater but still they need to be better in dubbing.

Also we need to do new VA cast list for the HiME saga soon, any takers ?

Heh, gotta admit, the idea of a ball busting 38 year old MILF does sound smexy. Mariette Sluyter is a great voice actress, I just didn't like her as Midori Sugiura. As Aswad Midori from Mai-Otome yes, as it was a more serious role. Hey Highman, how about a small favor. This thread is mainly to rant/discuss current dubs and V/As, think you can create a redub/VA dream casting Mai-HiME thread? I would do it myself alas my hands are tied at the moment. (how kinky)

Why, this thread is supposed Bandai's work on HiME/Otome dubbing but Sunrise will provide it in upcoming saga. I think they should re-dub and let viewers watch it for free. Anyway I've already made my dream list for Mai HiME saga. Carol and Mariette will reprise their franchise, everything changes and you'll like it.

Shiho Munakata: Kim Mai Guest
Miyu Greer: Hunter Mackenzie Austin
Alyssa Searrs: Stevie Bloch
Haruka Suzushiro: Tiffany Grant

Here's a website where you can compare the VA's for ones at Bluewater.

Not a bad list, Highman. It could use a bit more names from ADVFilms' roster. I'll have my list up soon, for now I wanna comment on one of your choices...

Highman wrote:Mashiro Kazehana: Lisa Ortiz

Sure about that? Out of every voice role Lisa's ever done, Lina Inverse from Slayers has always stick to me like glue. And well, Lina and Mashiro couldn't be any more different in character. Sure, Lisa can play monotone characters that lack charisma, she has the ability. It just wouldn't suit her, in my opinion.

Should I have Veronica Taylor then, now that's better. Jamie Marchi is a solid choice for Akane and she getting better and stronger in every role. She's sweet being wild, fun girl. It matches her.

Veronica Taylor should be Mashiro Kazehana also Is Tiffany Grant a good choice for Haruka because of her strong character personalization.

Veronica Taylor would be a much better choice, yes. Mashiro is monotone but still has that child-like sweetness to her voice. Perfect for Taylor to deliver those calm moments with Fumi. Or the over-the-top childish whining if she worked on Mai-Otome.

Ah, Tiffany Grant. Altena. Asuka. Jun Morimura. A various other 5 star roles she's done in the past. Perfect for Haruka's assertive and brute personality, I couldn't agree more.

My list is almost done, just need to hammer out the details with a friend of mine. *watches the Super GALS dub*
