I just got the DVDs (yes, I buy anime sets) this morning, and I gotta say, WTF DID THEY DO TO TK! With that being said, I think they did a good job on some of the voice actors, but it's falling short (imo). Still going to watch it though.
I saw the first episode of the dub, friend got it and we watched the first episode, he hasn't seen the series though so I can't borrow it yet and give it a thorough review(I plan to get the DVD set regardless). The dub in my opinion, is okay. I probably would have given it more credit if it weren't for the fact that I've already seen the series and know how certain characters develop and grow. That being said I still managed to enjoy hearing the dub, by the end of the episode my ears weren't bleeding or even remotely in pain. I also don't think I have high dub standards, but its has been some time since I bought dvd sets regularly, the last time I did so was between 2005-2008 so if dub quality went down after that I never really knew first hand, only through word of mouth.
For starters I am glad they didn't try to dub the Girls DeMo songs, and kept to the original audio track. Regarding TK, I haven't heard much of him(since episode 1 he doesn't say much), but TK never got his own episode so from what I could tell I didn't mind it much, maybe it gets worse throughout the dub? I'll find out soon enough. I really liked Yuri's voice in the dub, but I didn't like hearing "Yurippe" just off the fact that the dub voice actors couldn't pronounce it like the Japanese voice actors could, but then again, that's just being nit-picky, I understand that not all English voice actors can pronounce Japanese names accordingly.
Wow, this became a longer rant than I expected.
Anyways to sum it up, after only seeing the first episode of the dub I still give it high marks. Can't wait to buy it and add it to my collection.
