Yea, they are great. Shinichirou Watanabe is nothing short of a genius. Pure 
perfection in his work. It kills me that he doesn't have another new series 
on the horizon (at least to public knowledge, anyway).

English. For me, "English vs Japanese" varies from show to show (And in 
*rare* cases I'll actually watch both - namely Kodocha). Generally, I'll 
start with the English (if there is any), and if it turns out to be 
bad/annoying, then I'll switch to Japanese.

Once in a while a show will come along where I'm genuinely blown away by how 
incredibly good the English version is: In particular, Death Note and 
Fullmetal Alchemist (And naturally Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo). The 
*entire* English casts on all those shows did unbelievably fantastic jobs. 
Even to the point where it's actually worth watching those shows even just 
for the English voice acting (Which is a wonderful far cry from the days 
when English dubs had a reputation for being bad.)

Oh, yea. She did a brilliant job. That's definitely one of the absolute top 
3 on my list of "Best-Dubbed Characters". The other 2 would be Laura 
Bailey's "Sana Kurata" from Kodocha, and Caitlin Glass's "Winry Rockbell" 
from Fullmetal Alchemist. Particularly Caitlin's/Winry's famous squeal which 
wasn't even in the original Japanese version.

I only wish I could do voice acting as well as they do it and work together 
on a project. It would certainly beat mucking with HTML!
