Can you tell this dub was recorded in South Carolina, and in 1995?
Allegedly, the Japanese producers enjoyed the English dub so much (especially of Natsumi), that when they recorded the TV series, they showed the English OVA dub to the Japanese actors in order to inspire their acting.
Coastal Carolina didn’t make many English dubs, but those they did make are a treat. Besides You’re Under Arrest, I also enjoy Shinesman and Elf Princess Rane. And many of the same personnel later reformed as another company and did the dub of Miami Guns.
I can’t believe I never realised before this exact moment that the very specific vocal characterisation that’s indelibly burned into the brains of an entire generation of English-speaking nerds as the 90s Anime Dub Voice™ is literally just a Carolina accent.
