This one is gonna be released in the US in the next month or two and is already building up some hype.

Methinkst I have a hunch that they may have done the dub thinking they might get Love Hina on Cartoon Network.

I thought of something like that... but still, it's just such a horribly done voice. Meh.

Well, I'm pretty sure LBGR has new voices all around. As you'd prolly expect the dub is pretty damn cheesy and I wouldn't really say it's an improvment on the dub from the original series. Also of interest, on the inside of the DVD case it says that the japanese cast names are withheld by request of the actors.
