I'm surprised no one here bought the dub yet, ether for petty reasons or because they like the show. (Me I'm going to do it for both) and state what they think or not.
Also those responces of that clip are torn between people who like it and those who don't. Even the person who posted it does not know if it's good or bad. Really I see that as a good sign.
Edit
I fond a rewview by someone who like us saw this clip before the dub.
ReviewAnyway here "
will admit, like other Higurashi fans, I heard the english dub sound clips someone posted a few weeks ago before the dvd came out, and I wasn’t thrilled. The clips sounded bad at first but I decided to wait until watching the dvds before I passed any kind of judgement, because I knew it was only a few brief lines. I’m now glad I waited because hearing it on dvd wasn’t quite as bad as I had thought and the cast definitely got better after the first episode or two.
One thing you have to remember with hearing dubs for the first time is that for those who have listened to the Japanese voices first (this is why if I’m watching an anime for the first time and have the option of watching subs or dub I’ll go with dub first and then if the voices sound really bad I’ll switch back to the Japanese, however Higurashi is obviously different this time because I watched it originally in Japanese first), the english voices will almost always sound abit underwhelming at first because your not used to them and the voice actors are usually a little shaky with getting into the roles, and finding the right voice.'
