If you are an avid dub fan, or if you cannot possibly stand the original Japanese voices that (usually) accompany an anime, then this piece of news is for you. The English dub cast and the ADR director for the upcoming release of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya by Bandai have been announced – and they are ready to take over the English-speaking world. And bake cookies.

ADR Director - Eric P. Sherman Haruhi Suzumiya - Wendee Lee Mikuru Asahina - Stephanie Sheh Yuki Nagato - Michelle Ruff Kyon - Crispin Freeman Itsuki Koizumi - Johnny Yong Bosch Ryouko Asakura - Bridget Hoffman Tsuruya-san - Kari Wahlgren

I shiver in fear at what Mikuru’s voice will sound like. Here goes down the drain the only moe feature making this show worthy of wanking watching. May I remind you that the first Volume of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya will be released by Bandai on May 29.
