Nice review. I'll check it out.
My only gripe is, whats wrong with an Australian accent? If it was, say, an American trying to do an Australian accent, then i'll understand - people trying to do accents will always create more of a caricature then the real thing - but if he was an actual Aussie, then whats so funny?
Was it because it just came out of left field? Or maybe because you just find Aussie accents hilarious?
I actually think most anime dubs of European-style animes should be dubbed with their local accents - Hellsing, for instance, is primarily dubbed in English and German for the protag and antagon roles respectively. Then world is a big place - why not throw in an African, Swede or Australian accent here and there?
