Of course, it's never going to compare to the very-much well-established Japanese voices. These are Japanese swords, after all, so some things are automatically a given. Not to mention, name pronunciations: that will always be a risk when dubbing between different languages. I'm sure there are cringe-worthy moments vice-versa.

That being said, I've been thoroughly enjoying myself with the dubbed version. I've cracked up plenty watching these for various reasons. I enjoyed how they adapted the script. It's little more than an officially-sanctioned "anthology work" to me (which means, yes, I'm buying the DVD! *lol*). I'm too old and tired of being picky and perfect, anyways; it hurts my back. *lol*

A couple of adaptations from Episode 1 I've enjoyed (slooooowly watching the others when they're free to watch, lol!):

(during Hasabe's passionate lecture) Souza Samonji: "What a bore. If I take a nap, will you wake me when he's done?" Wow, is the shade more apparent!

Nikkari Aoe: "They say you'll get wrinkles if you frown all the time. Try smiling more, like I do." Heshikiri Hasabe: "I'll smile when I'm dead! Speaking of death, would it kill you to get here on time?"
