*takes a huge breath* Okay. Lemme see if I can break long enough to give some decent crits--though honestly it'll be hard, since everyone was so amazing!
AllyKat - Sifr/Little Girl/Nina the Cat
AllyKat, you already know that you are an incredibly talented voice actress, and it thrills me every time that I get to work with you! XD You have this "girl-next-door" quality to you voice that makes you so versatile, yet so familiar and recognizable the moment you appear! Your emotion and delivery were spot-on, and your screams were just priceless. I wish I could scream that well. <3 Excellent work. I can't wait to hear you in the next episode! If I had to pick on anything at all (which I really don't want to do), I would have to say it would've been awesome to hear you do something a with a little more variation from the voice you used for Arika--they just sound so similar at times. But it was still really suited for the character, so it didn't pose a problem!
Mippa - Lena/Sifr's Mother/M-9
I feel like my performance on this fell really short to what it should have been. ._. Hopefully I will do better next episiode. Thank you everyone for such warm words, I hope I can earn and deserve your praise in the future.
Rashinban - Bruce
I am such a huge fan of yours now--a new one, yes. XD Your voice has such a rich dimension to it, and your delivery is so captivating. You were able to capture that suave tone to the character without making him sound lecherous or slimy, which is a real feat, if you ask me. (He looks pimp, what can I say...) I also heard that you didn't require any retakes on your lines. You are awesome. D= How do you do it?
Mirielle - Elliot
Kyaa--! Mirielle! <3 <3 <3 I am so glad my first yuri moment was with you! *blushblushblush* Hahahaha, just kidding! You were so adorable as Elliot, and you were able to really capture all the different layers of this complex character. The only thing I wanted to point out was you mispronounced "pursue" during the elevator scene. Please be careful!
Magic Kaito - Shion/Little Girl's Mother
Wow! Just when I thought I had heard all the voices I could out of you, you whip out another one! I had totally forgotten it was you when I heard Shion come in! You were so incredibly brilliant!!! OMGOMGOMG could I possibly fangirl you any more?!
Haushinka - Raquel
You were downright precious as Raquel. You sounded perfectly cutsey without being annoying. It was also great to hear that you sounded distinctly different from Mai when you said "Materialize!" I was a little worried for a moment. Great work, as expected!
FET-Kun - Kiddo/Cyborg 1/Man 4
You were so entertaining in your parts, FET. Oddly enough, I liked your Cyborg even better than your Kiddo! I loved how you freaked out when Kiddo's gun was cut--it was certainly the highlight of your performance for me. I felt you could have afforded to go a little higher in register when Kiddo was in a panic though.
Tylec - John Smith/Brankin
I had no idea you were both! Your John Smith was probably my favorite out of all the performances. I think you get the Mippa award for "Cast Favorite" this time. You sounded perfectly evil, slightly older than I am used to for you, but so smooth and cold. I honestly cannot imagine him sounding any other way, Japanese or English. Perfect.
Stephee - Una
There wasn't a lot of you in this episode unfortunately, but what I heard, I loved. You had a very professional, calm sound to your voice. It was very womanly and collected, and fit the character perfectly. She sounded slightly ominous, and your narration was perfectly delivered. Excellent job.
Devkyu - Little Girl On Train
So cute! <3 Thank you for lending your talents to the project!
Phantasm, LionFayt, and Kumada42 - Male Extras
I couldn't tell who was who--which, in the case of extras, is exactly what you are going for! And considering I am familiar with at least two of you, the fact that I couldn't sort out who was who is saying something! Nice work!
Keegan Kopcik - Slave Master
Small part, but what I heard, I liked!
Mixing: Voice levels were excellent, and it shows how much you worked so hard on getting the BGM sorted out for this. It's perfectly clear how much you love this series, and I for one really appreciate all the work you put in. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of yet another production I am proud to be in. I think it was already mentioned that the BGM music for when it switches from Elliot and Rachel fighting to Lena and Sifr running away is a little abrupt--I am guessing that was a hard spot? The only other thing I really missed were a few of the sound effects that I thought really added to the scenes...most noteably during the LenaxElliot near-kiss scene (when Lena grabs Elliot's hand in a block there was a strong punching sound) and I think a few other spots that slip my mind...
Otherwise, I see no nit-picks! This is something I almost would want to show off to my friends. XD (Alas, the subject matter prevents me from doing so. TAT) Excellent work everyone, and I look forward to working on the next episode with you all. Thank you for watching!
(And hopefully I will have my SnowBall in for the next one...)
