Most other roles work better, especially Sherry Lynn (best-known as the English voice for all incarnations of Sasami in the Tenchi Muyo! franchise) as Liz and Kira Buckland (Lagrange – Flower of the Rin-ne's Madoka) as Bell. The English script takes a fair amount of liberties but does not stray too far afield.
Kira Buckland gives Umi the deeper sound and solid foundation which matches the personality of Umi to a T. She's just as adept at showing Umi's cuter and weaker sides, her embarrassment at the thought of wearing a skimpy costume in front of a large audience and her stage fright.
All female voices are done by Kagome. Be sure to visit her VA resume at suzumiya-haruhi.net.
Who did the voice acting you ask? Kagome [Kira Buckland]...
Voice acting by Rina-chan (Formerly known as Kagome), Flabbysnake and GeneralIvan. Visit Rina-chan's resume at suzumiya-haruhi.net
I step up to the task of voicing one of the characters in this hentai extravagana. The other characters are all done by Rina-chan
