So... Merlwyb will be voiced

That was pretty spot on actually, people will crucify a VA for mis-pronunciation of a name but JP voice actors get a free pass when they butcher Western names and words phonetically.

Get a free pass from who again?

Sounds like hearsay to me: "hey, some people I may or may not know give Japanese VAs a free pass for name pronunciation, obviously everyone must do that!"

Sorry. Doesn't work like that.

There is a wind...it blows...but what does it say?

Meh dun care >.>

The fact that you wasted a post to comment means that you quite obviously care.

I can only say that I cringe at broken English just as much as I cringe at any broken language... on the inside that is.

What I see happening here is, once again, a group of people being judged by the minority of their members. How many "OMFG KAWAII DESUUU UGUUU" people do you really know?

Bingo.
