It gives me an excuse to watch this series again anyway, it was way too short...
October 7, 201312 yr I will look into it when I have more money. why not White Sand Village, Yen Press?
October 7, 201312 yr Watamote is getting dub? That was fast. At least it's getting a dub Now I don't have to force myself to read the manga...
October 7, 201312 yr Author Watamote is getting dub? That was fast. At least it's getting a dub Now I don't have to force myself to read the manga... Not yet, this was mostly to promote the anime coming to Anime Network. Of course, that could be the dub, I haven't seen it yet.
October 7, 201312 yr Author the dub is very very bad It's not all that bad, it fits her antisocial personality more.
October 7, 201312 yr It's not all that bad, it fits her antisocial personality more. she sounds older than 15, like in her 20's
October 7, 201312 yr Author she sounds older than 15, like in her 20's She sounds like an older, more mature teenager.
October 7, 201312 yr She sounds like an older, more mature teenager. I DUN LIKE IT. she sounded cute in the japanese version
October 7, 201312 yr Author I DUN LIKE IT. she sounded cute in the japanese version The dub voice has a certain charm to it in the second half of the trailer... But yeah, her Japanese voice was cute. Neither one is really bad though.

October 7, 201312 yr Author did you notice square enix under the watamote logo? i guess its like with fma Square Enix published the WataMote manga and anime. That's why it was there.
October 7, 201312 yr I dunno, I didn't buy into Tomoko's voice. I mean, I think the acting is okay as far as dubs go (then again, I seem to tolerate voice acting everyone else seems to hate), but her voice itself just sounds too... normal for her character.
October 7, 201312 yr Author I dunno, I didn't buy into Tomoko's voice. I mean, I think the acting is okay as far as dubs go (then again, I seem to tolerate voice acting everyone else seems to hate), but her voice itself just sounds too... normal for her character. Well, that's because she is normal. It highlights the more antisocial side of hers, too. It's also the same voice actress as Black Star in Soul Eater, which gets bonus points.
October 8, 201312 yr How did I know that all the comments on the video would be people complaining about the voice acting? Honestly, its not even amusing anymore, its just sad. The voice was fine. Though it certainly takes a different approach, I think it could still fit Tomoko. Of course, it could actually turn out to be crap, but at least wait to see an episode or two. I'm a bit scared to get the manga, actually. Watching the show was painful enough, but I've read that the manga is actually worse in that regard. If nothing else, I'll get the first volume simply to support the series. EDIT: Hmm, I'm not actually sure that the dubbed trailer is actually a trailer for an official dub, after reading some of the comments on Crunchyroll... Edited October 8, 201312 yr by DragonMaster
