I know why they've been drawing the characters holding a lemon on the covers. It's a parody of a japanese magazine about television, where they like to put pictures of famous artists holding a lemon. Sorry, but I can't give you the name of the magazine, since I suck in japanese (hope this will change soon).

i'll have to strongly disagree with u shadro, i enjoyed Mikuru's dub immensely, i feel it was the best in the entire cast, what pissed me off the most was Haruhi's dub, she was just not hyper enough. and wendy lee always uses the sammmee voice in every single dub she does, so points off for that too. aside from that; nagato's dub felt like it was trying to hard to maintain that emotionless feel, and koizumi's i didnt really like nor hate, cause bosch(orhowever u spell it) i like his dubs for types of characters like ichigo from bleach, but not koizumi, he just sounds too serious and not carefree. well thats all. oh yea kyons was good, not enough snark, like the reviewer said and he sounded a bit sympathetic on some parts. nevertheless i'll enjoy seeing the dub anyway. and i plan on getting all of the limited editions, what Haruhi-ist wont.

I hate to be the person to disagree but there was really something about Mikuru's dub voice that just annoyed me. The high pitch was fine, but there was something else there that just for me make it sound weird and kind of annoying. I wish I could just explain it though, I wanna say there is a strange amount of tone with the high pitched but I'm not rally sure. Other than that small complaint the dub was very enjoyable.

I waited so long for this and I actually LOVE this dub… normally dubs horrify me… not this one… was it dubbed by the same group as excel saga?? the voices sounded very familiar… haruhi > excel… asahina > hyatt?? dunno.. im just guessing.. and while i have both dvds i cant be bothered checking… the point is these 2 are my favorite INGLISH DUB animes… w00t!!

I'm with badger11. Though when Haruhi gets excited, Lee does a better job of matching it. It's her everyday lines which don't have that stridency Hirano brought to her performance.

I pretty much agree with all of your points on the dub. I just don't get that energetic vibe with the dubbed Haruhi

Scrapped Princess (recommended, although I’ve heard nasty things about the R1 image quality)

Hah, I must mimic your anticipation of what unsuspecting viewers will see in Melancholy IV…
