Last night, I noticed that the voice of Duero in Vandread sounded like Jet and Roger Black (Cowboy Bebop and Big O, respectively), and checked the voice listings for Vandread and Cowboy Bebop. Unfortunately, instead of having a list of who did which character's voice (as one would find in a standard credits), the end credits just had the entire English voice cast in an amalgamated group with no indication as to who did what. Anyone know why that is? It seems to defeat the purpose of credits if you can't tell who did what. Incidentally, it DOES appear that the English voice cast for Bebop is in Vandread, but I can't say that I like the dub nearly as much as I like Bebop's dub (I almost always watch titles subbed, but I do like to hear the better dubs every now and then). Some of the Vandread voices are good, while others make me wince. junior "Women are monsters!" -- propaganda film, Vandread
