Since I haven't seen anyone mention about this, not even on the SP comm, I guess I might as well. The happy!happy!bouncy!bouncy! news is that the Scrapped Princess dvd is coming out April 26. What I found out though will either make me or break me when I decide to make up my mind. ONE good thing though is that they are offering us the same dolls that they did for the Japan releases::
Pacifica for dvd 1.
Raquel for dvd #2 in June.
I already know I'll be buying the box with the 1st release BUT I'm not sure if I want another box just for the doll when #2 comes out. I can't quite remember if they offered a Shannon or Leo but if there is a Shannon, I'll probably break down to get that. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't having to pay more just for another box with each release. (yes you can get the dvd w/out the box but you won't get the doll).
It'd be nice once the dvd comes out if ppl would be able to check it out more, this seems like another series that hardly anyone has talked about or seen, which is a shame cause its an interesting and cute series. Though given that its by BONES, they seem to be well known for their fucked up endings or torture certain characters such as Wolf's Rain and FMA so the storyline to SP is a bit weird and the ending seems rushed but its still worth it. There is also news of the manga coming out by Tokyopop Aug.9th. I had a few downloads of the manga but the art is a bit "eh" and I'd rather have the novels translated than the manga.
The listing of the dub voices and thoughts are under the cut
I'm nervous yet anxious to hear this dubbed, I guess for the most part, just to see how its going to sound with certain ppl doing voices that I know or heard of before. Keep in mind, I'm not going to name every single character the VA has done, more than likely animes that I have seen or heard of before.
Shannon - Crispin Freeman. Truthfully, as if I didn't see that one coming. I will say this though, I'm kinda iffy. Course the voices I'm familiar with that he's done is Alucard, Amon, and Alex Rowe. All 3 characters in my opinion were emotionless or monotone (though yes, Alucard did have his excitement moments but he was still serious). Shannon from time to time is moody but not in the monotone, emotionless way. Plus there are times when he spazzes out either certain events or Pacifica in general. And lets not forget him crying too. So all I can say is, I hope Crispin doesn't disappoint me. (though sometimes, a character that is voiced by Shinichiro Miki, its going to have to take alot of convincing of the dub VA to please me *laughs*)
Raquel - Bridget Hoffman
Credits - Trigun as Rem Sayblem, Wolf's Rain as Cole (ep 5), Outlaw Star as Melfina.
I think she'll do a good job with her.
Pacifica - Kari Wahlgren
Credits - Gungrave as Mika Asagi, Wolf's Rain as Cher, Witch Hunter Robin as Robin.
(Nice choice for Pacifica *nodsnods*)
Zefiris - Kate Higgins
Credits - none I heard of
Winia - Michelle Ruff
Credits - Gungrave as Maria Asagi, Great Teacher Onizuka as Urumi Kanzaki, Last Exile as Alvis E. Hamilton, Witch Hunter Robin as Dojima.
(Another good choice)
Christopher Armalite - Steve Staley
Credits - Gungrave as Jolice, Gundam 08th MSTeam as Shiro Amada, Outlaw Star as Harry McDougall
(Hmmm.....that will be debatable. I do like his voice but I'm just hoping he'll do good with Christopher)
Leo - Yuri Lowenthal
Credits - not very much listed nor any I heard of.
Forsythe - Dave Wittenberg
Credits - Gungrave as Kenny, Witch Hunter Robin as Michael Lee, Great Teacher Onizuka as Koji Sannomaru, Ryuji Danma, Tadashi Sakurada, & Yoshito Kikuchi, Speed Racer 2000 as Speed.
(another one that I can't judge till I hear it. His voice varies with me on opinions)
These characters listed, I can't quite recall who they were in the anime unless someone on my flist recalls.
Luke Storm - Steve Blum
Credits Cowboy Bebop as Spike and of course TONS others.
Doyle Barrett - Kirk Thornton (also has different aliases but I also know him as Ron Allen)
Credits - Gungrave as Brandon/Grave, Cyborg 009 as Jet Link/Cyborg 002
Galil - Lex Lang
Credits - Gungrave as Bunji Kugashira, Kenshin as Sanosuke, Gundam 08th MSTeam as Ginias Sahalin
Diana - Wendee Lee
Credits - Cowboy Bebop as Faye, Great Teacher Onizuka as Anko Uehara, Azusa Fuyutsuki, Miyabi Aizawa,Mrs. Sakurai, Tadashi Sakurada. Outlaw Star as Twilight Suzuka, WHR as Miho Karasuma
(other characters listed that didn't ring a bell or are probably not important in the series)
Rita
Fafal
Dennis
So thats it for the time being on the cast.
Here is Bandai's website for SP. If you move your arrow to the left, the menu will pop out to where you can see a clip of just what the anime looks like, wallpapers, icons, & other stuff. The one thing that doesn't make much sense is that for Shannon's character profile, the characters they have of him on the right, they also have Fulle in there in both normal clothes and when Fulle had to dress as a chick. By doing this, they are going to be confusing ppl thinking "well Fulle is Shannon" in which he's not. The only thing in common they have is how Pacifica thought that Fulle or Shannon kinda looked like each other, that was about it.
I'd like for ppl to give it a try if they want to see it in order to make up their mind so what I'm going to do is offer maybe 1 or 2 eps of the sub IF there are peeps on my flist who would like to see it. I'm not going to upload it if I don't get a response on anyone wanting to see it. YOU have to tell me yourself.
Will work on happy!happy!bouncy!bouncy! news part 2 tomorrow.

Re: new Hellsing Anime!!!
It isn't a hoax, going to go with the manga more and it is sponsored by Geneon America. They said 35 minute long with no note on how many eps.
