Far from it, in fact - some of it was really good, and some of the cast are pretty well-known. But it did seem a bit weird for all these obviously-Japanese guys to be wandering around with American accents. My biggest fear here was that they'd chop the budget for the sequel and use crappy voice actors instead of the original English cast. Not bothering with a dub and going with the original soundtrack is the best solution. Now if only they'd get it on the damn shelves. I didn’t think the voice acting in the first one was ‘awful’.
