With Nozomi, we come to my first bit of criticism. It's not that Laura Post's performance is poor (and she was delightfully domineering as Ragyo Kiryuin in Kill la Kill), but that her line reads felt a bit flat at times. This feels as much a directorial decision as anything else, though I did not sense the same kind of flatness in Aina Kusada's original. It's not omnipresent in all of Ms. Post's work in this dub, as she is quite lively and humorously threatening when Nozomi is in attack mode, going after other characters when they need "punishment." But in the character's more serious moments, while I was not expecting a torrent of emoting (that would have been very bad), there were times where her voice almost seemed bored with what she was trying to say, which is not how Nozomi should sound. The source of difficulty again may lie in trying to match sound as Ms. Kusada gives Nozomi an intonation that sounds rather strange to English speakers (no, seriously try to imagine English being spoken in Nozomi's voice. Yeah, now you get it, don't you?) and the issue is further exacerbated by the choice of the original audio track to have Nozomi speak a regional dialect, a potential minefield with language adaptations which is largely sidestepped here. It's not a major fault.
